Whoever wins Masters, do they get an additional slot for champions like in lockin?
and if they do, does the aditional slot take effect at LCQ?
like 2 teams from lcq go to Champions?
Giving C9 a bye makes the most sense.
However, not defining the tournment format before the teams are set is a big fucking mistake.
Because depending on the format and if someone gets some benefit from it, teams/community may claim that Riot chose that format with the intention of "helping" said team.
Honestly, RIOT has been taking so long to disclose these informations (or even define them) that I wondeer who's getting paid to make this shit job. Probably got a raise
