How does the point system work, because kickoff gave no points for any place below 1st, same thing for Madrid. Will Shanghai be the same? 1st place gets 3 points while everyone else gets nothing. If so then what even is the point of this tournament? This just means literally everything is on split 2.

number2_cNed_fan [#2]shanghai itself is a major bro, this is like saying whats the point of Tokyo cuz it doesnt give anything for champs
True, but last year was unique as there was no split 2 so regional split mattered a lot, this year it seems like split 2 is everything since lcq got thrown out the window. But you are right with shanghai meaning something in the sense that its still a major, but in terms of points only first place getting them just does not seem right, especially compared to 2021 and 2022 and the way those masters gave points.

yes, they did that on purpose. They want teams to gain points from their regional games not internationals.
Its not meant to be like the old system

That makes some sense but shanghai should give points to teams other than first place since they all qualified to it. Maybe the prize pool will be 1 mil just like tokyo, but this whole new point system does not feel like its been fully thought out. Either way there should still be some good matches.
