This years format

Last years format.

this years format rewards consistensy and past results, but its harder for teams to go on a run so last year was better for the viewers imo

I think keeping it top 3 make in playoffs make the event and 1 champs points is better because it gives more teams an actual chance to make a run but with this format there is still weight of stage 1
