Old: 12 teams get millions, everyone else has LITERALLY 0 chance of attending anything

New: 8 teams get millions, everyone else has decent chances to attend Masters and Champs

Only morons dislike the new format

EDIT: people seem to not know this, but non-partner teams have to play open quals, and can be eliminated before they even attend the cup, meaning 0 prize winnings, and 0 growth of popularity from attending bigger events. Its literally only Kickoff where they guarantee a spot. For Masters 2 and Champs, partners still need to fight in open quals (they just start a couple rounds further)

Second and third order effects can be harder to spot but be way more devastating. Not talking about this specific scenario.

New one is obviously better in terms of non-partner teams having chances

the americans are crying in particular because they get same bonuses as other regions but with highest cost of living without big fanbase.

Give a couple of weeks of crying from the deluded T2 hopfuls to leave. The others are loving it and many new ones will join.

the thing is both allow for partnered teams to be shit and it dont matter for em, they need to make a relegation system, or make it full open

It's more :
Old: 12 teams get millions, everyone else has LITERALLY 2 chance of being on an equal foot next year, (while this year it's theorcally impossible to be on an esqual foot of partner, depending on the number of ghost sales)
