Should we remove championship points? Thoughts?

Championship are ment to reward consistancy throughout a season
However the current structure is not consistent

every stage is seeded potentialy allowing teams to soft snowball the season
teams are not garented to play each other every season
there are a very few instances of points as teams only play minimum 5 games per stage( this also causes player stress as they have very few games to find success)

if they want to keep this general structurei think they could remove points and move to format like the lck but with single RR for stage 1 and a double RR for stage 2 where teams are seeded into a high and low group based on stage 1results. Have stage 2 be a direct qualifyer for champs
Move from 3-5 day rotar ( 6-10 games per week) - other than EMEA they can easily do more games in china and pacific as only them use there arenas. I also wouldn't mind more of the face to face set up in americas if it ment more games for the teams to play

id love this too but i remember crunching the numbers and 2 full round robins is pretty hard to squeeze in, even if you run the league for 11 months

it'd look something like this but it'd be pretty tiring for pros
On the left is the current schedule and on the right is what I'd like if pros didn't mind burnout
(If you want LCQ you can just swap kickoff with stage 2)

teams are not garented to play each other every season

The good teams will play against the good ones at the end of the day, the fact the bad ones will miss a few games is not that big of a deal

there are a very few instances of points as teams only play minimum 5 games per stage( this also causes player stress as they have very few games to find success)

higher scoring teams would get a lot of points from tournaments, (top placements in bangkok, kickoff etc etc)

double RR for stage 2 where teams are seeded into a high and low group based on stage 1results.

time issues

ther than EMEA they can easily do more games in china and pacific as only them use there arenas. I also wouldn't mind more of the face to face set up in americas if it ment more games for the teams to play

not enough for a double RR without teams playing more than once a week

I think teams should be playing more than once a week in an RR especially wit how many games they can end up playing in playoff. It makes the pacing difference between the RR and playoffs better, this is why NRG had burnout issues in 2023 when they went from 1 game a week to 5 games in playoffs. They scrim so much anyway so it doesn't change much.

i think champs point shouldn't be as significant as it is right now.
I prefer the 2024 one, rewarding one team with the most champs points which still allows for upsets in the playoffs
