In upcoming hours we will see if china are truly irreparable or not
EDG needs to step up because XLG is 100% bomb out
If not Riot seriously needs to reconsider the slots distribution
My suggestion is a new format which STEALS a slot of the worst region and GIVES to the best region evaluating based on points in masters:
Timeline:
-
Kickoff: no change
-
#1 Masters:
masters' pts now not only being used for seed 3, 4 but for region ranking also.
Points of a region == all points of that region's teams collect after the tournament
Ex: 1st place PRX take 6 pts and 4th NS take 2 pts, T1 bomb out in swiss stage 0 pts. Totally APAC get 8 pts
4 regions are ranked from top to bottom based on pts. the bottom region have to GIVE one of their NEXT MASTERS SLOT to the top region
if EMEA is top and CN is bottom then in next masters EMEA has 4 slots while CN only has 2 -
Stage 1: a region's format has to change if they get a new slot or lose a slot
-
#2 Masters:
Same as masters 1 but with a catch:
because now the worst region only has 2 contenders which lower the pts they can possibly collect
so we now rank regions based on the average of total pts each region collects
Ex: CN has total 5 pts this time from 2 teams so CN average pts is 2.5 while AMER has total 12 pts from 3 teams then the average is 4
The worst give a slot to the best in the next Champs same as Masters 1 -
Stage 2: a region's format has to change if they get a new slot or lose a slot
-
Champs result will not affect the slot distribution of the next year vct
NOTE: If 4th region's pts == 3rd region's pts, considering some sub-criteria like the recent results of direct face-off between the teams of 2 regions or smth we will figure that out.
CONCLUSION: This will provides much more high quality matches and hype to international tournaments. Saving viewers' time from watching disasterclass of "we're here to learning and growing" ahh region. This format is also better than LCQ option because players don't have to travel to play more matches, saving riot money.
THIS IS MY OPINION SO WHAT DO YOU THINK?
