1st of all, LATAM and Brazil becomes a single region and works like APAC qualify(different amounts of teams from different region) and get 3 slots total. This way we don't get to see actually decent teams like loud get grouped just because of a bad day
2nd of all, instead of the top seed going directly to playoffs, there will instead be 4 groups with 3 teams each. The lower seeded/minor region teams will face off each other before the winner advancing to face off the top seeded major region teams in the upper bracket and the loser going into the lower bracket. The loser of that matchup will go into the lower brackets. After the 2 lower bracket team face off in the lower bracket, the winning team advances to meet the team in the upper bracket while the loser gets eliminated. After that, the 2 remaining teams will fight again and the winner ascending to playoffs while the loser gets eliminated. There will be 4 teams left in playoffs and these 4 teams will be randomly seeded to play a double elimination bracket to determine the champions of masters.
