Not many teams that deserved to be there and they aren’t other than maybe 19, they got the big orgs with resources instead that in the long term are more likely to get better rosters and attract fanbase. The level is really really high rn, probably one of the highest budgets overall too
And the format might not be the best competitively but it’s really intense, and that’s just the regular season but over 6/10 teams go to playoff, where is all bo5. So it’s actually quite fair. And 4 teams in relegation just 1 goes down to play against the winner of the second division for the spot. So the regular season is not that important.
I actually think it’s a good format, definitely better than ties
