Not gonna lie, when you put it like this, I would love to see a tournament that could replace LOCK//IN, where region vs region matches would happen. For example, have:
Pacific:
Pacific#1
Pacific#2
Pacific#3
Americas:
Americas#1
Americas#2
Americas#3
Have Americas#1 vs Pacific#1, Americas#1 vs Pacific#2, Americas#1 vs Pacific#3, Americas#2 vs Pacific#1, Pacific#2, Pacific#3 and so on for every possible combination
And then have the tournament winner in terms of the region with best record and perhaps a team with the best record too. This could be like a month long festival of valulrant.
Pretty sure franchised players would hate this tournament due to the number of matches played, so instead maybe consider having lower tier teams with players who are more eager to prove themselves on a voluntary basis
