  • Keep 32 teams, having teams from China was a great idea, especially since EDG showed they can compete with top teams.
  • Keep the two different brackets, but make both a 16 team swiss stage( 5 Americas, 5 EMEA, and 5 Pacific with 1Chinese team) where top 8 teams advance. BO1 for normal games, BO3 for elimination or advancement.
  • The top 8 teams from each bracket move to another 16 team swiss stage with the same rules.
  • From there, the top 8 teams will qualify for single elim bracket with seeding based on how they placed in the second swiss stage (BO5 semis and finals).

I pretty much used what CS:GO does for most of their LANs just made one more swiss stage. This format would ensure that teams would get second and third chances and that no superteam (FNC, SEN, C9, PRX) would be out of the whole tournament if they lost one game. This would also fit in the timeframe of one month because of the BO1 swiss stage games.

Riot is incompatible with good tournament formats

While I love the idea of having so many games that's also my biggest problem with this one is that there would just be so many games that as a hardcore viewer I would be incapable of watching all the games. I think its honestly a little fun that the super teams do have a chance to go out earlier than expected as it will make incredible underdogs and we have so much time in the future for those teams to develop and play in Tokyo and at Champs.

So riots current format is scheduled to have around 99 hours of games. The format you are suggesting would take 204 hours. That is significantly longer

Adding on to this, if you adopt CSGO’s B Stream strategy for rounds 1-4 of Swiss, you still end up with 129 hours which is significantly less, but still a lot, and it seems like riot doesn’t really want to have multiple streams at the moment
