Actual Champions Format

#1

Sprouts

Confirmed
Top 3 American teams from league qualify
Top 3 Pacific teams from league qualify
Top 3 EMEA teams from league qualify

Speculation
The 2 Chinese teams from Tokyo qualify for Champions too
The winner of Tokyo grants their region's LCQ an extra slot, so each LCQ has 1 slot except for the region that wins Masters, who will have 2
The rumored Summer league in China (separate from the FGC tournaments) acts as an LCQ tournament, granting 1 slot

Final slot allocation:
4 Americas
4 Pacific
4 EMEA
3 CN
+1 to the region that wins Tokyo

come back to this when I'm right

It's a possibility, but I doubt it. Since NA Challengers officially end on June 10, Riot would have to fit the Ascension tournament and the LCQ, which are both LANs, into a less than 2 month period (Champions starts on August 6), while giving the teams participating at least a 1-2 week break between VCLs, Ascension, and then the LCQ like they normally do. It's possible, but seems unlikely knowing Riot and how much they like to space out their events.
