why 4 champions slots per region is dumb

A set number of champions slots per region (4) makes it so 1 team per region qualify based off of yearly performance (champions points) and so regions with better teams are under-represented and regions with worse teams are over-represented. What this means is that teams who didn't qualify for any masters the whole year or at least won enough games in stage1 and 2 to collect champions points like talon, trace, and bilibili qualify for champs and get the huge bundle bonus (1.25m per team last year) by JUST qualifying meanwhile teams like 100t who dominated their region in stage 1 and got decent results in one masters and overall racked up a lot of champions points, and KC who qualified for one masters therefore did well in one stage and got more champs points, get absolutely nothing for that just because their regions have more good teams. There should be a way to make champs qualification more fair and for best teams in the world who deserve the money, not set slots for representation from regions, but equal opportunity to qualify for each region.

KC missed out cause they were literally ass outside of kickoff bro what is you sayin
having one good stage shouldn't let you qualify for champions.
DRG almost made it out of China bc of their one good stage and they're like a fringe 10th place team at this point

A combined LCQ with rank 4-6 competing for the last 4 spot in champions would be hype ngl.

But sorry to burst your bubble, based on Shanghai performance if we are looking at it objectively either Pacific (winner) or emea(highest average placement) will get the additional slot.

If its yearlong its pacific (equal performance with americas with the same average placement, slightly better placement in Shanghai, both 1 trophy this year)

There is absolutely no format that can predict which region is gonna be better at the start of the year to fairly distribute slots.

Also I don't think this comparison is fair at all, for several reasons.
1 Pacific Americas and EMEA are extremely close rn and 100% deserve equal spots. Your whole argument relies on China, so what you actually mean is that China doesn't deserve the same slots? While that is totally the case gameplay wise, china plays with a big disadvantage and the way of making up for all the time they missed is giving them advantages like this.

2 There is absolutely no one in EMEA other than KC fans that would rather have KC at Champs rather than Vitality. if you can't maintain a certain high level through the year you don't deserve it imo

Americas deserves at least 6 spots.
It's so hard being the best region and only being able to send 4 teams.

Why are we still yapping about the format?

KC have been ASSS since Kickoffs. For context, KC has won as many Matches in Split 2 as GE

So let’s use this year as an example. How would you distribute the 16 slots for the regions in 2024?

I know how

Start winning and stop yapping like a crybaby
