Just an idea for a BLAST tournament that runs seperate from VCT, similar to the blast world final in CS
3 qualifying tournaments: one after each masters and one after LCQ
16 team group stage into single elim bracket based on VLR ranking at time of tournament, invite only, NOT REGION LOCKED
Winner of each qualifier goes to world final (equivilant of champions for blast). Runner ups from 2nd-8th awarded circuit points used for BLAST LCQ.
Following VCT champions, LCQ held between 4 highest placing teams with circuit points. Winner qualifies for world final. World final would be as follows:
Qualifier 1 winner
Qualifier 2 winner
Qualifier 3 winner
BLAST LCQ winner
VCT champions winner
VCT champions runner up
Redbull HG winner
NSG Summer winner
All 8 teams would play in a single elim bracket as the final tournament of the year, feel like it would be fun to watch especially with BLAST's production quality.
In the event a team has multiple titles (i.e they win qualifier 2 and Redbull HG) then the runner up of the more recent tournament qualifies
