probably double elim like masters 2 2021

They should let the first seeds pick their opponents then the remaining teams should draw straws for their opponents.

Imagine the drama when your regions first seed picks another regions 4th seed just to lose the bo3 and be sent home

2 Group (5+5), 1st and 2nd place advance to playoffs single elim, also have 3rd place matchup before GF

3rd place matchup always so boring, two teams who have already lost forced to play another match for extra money.

ok, but then how will the seeding system works

obviously gonna be a single elim bracket with 2 byes granted to the highest bidder. it'll do a good job keeping the stream time to 6 hours maximum so the audience doesn't get bored
