similar to last year, I think the region that wins masters 1 should get an extra slot at masters 2 and the region that wins masters 2 will get an extra slot at masters 2. But no more than 1 extra slot. If the same region wins masters 2, then the 2nd highest placing region will get that extra slot. The reason being china. They will be good at some point but it’s not their time yet. As a matter of fact, #1 seed chinese teams shouldn’t even get a playoff bye.
