New tournament idea

Hear me out: during the downtime between stage two and champs, the two best teams from every region that DID NOT make champs participate in a small tournament located where the actual champs place is located (if it happened this year, it would be in Paris). There, teams participate in a format similar to the first masters event of every year. The winner won’t get a champs slot but will probably get a lot of financial backing from Riot (or secure a franchise slot) to make it worth trying for.

This tournament addresses three things, champs teams getting burned out right before champs, some teams not playing enough games, and viewers feeling bored of no VCT

Thoughts?

Isn't this what ewc is

I might have a weird idea, buttttt.
expand masters 1 of next year to 12 teams. However, the 4 extra spots aren't just 3rd slots for every region. Set up VCT Rivals, Americas vs EMEA, China vs Pacifiic. The Winner of the tournament grants their region these 2 extra spots (one for their region and one of their rival region). It gives bragging rights to the winner and bitterness for the loser. It won't be just some random ass event to serve as a prelim for champs, there are international spots at stake. imagine American teams coming to europe and just stealing two extra spots for next year's masters, or emea teams getting the buff from their home crowd and retaining their spots.

VISA.

Also CN have evolution series. CN is fine.
