Worst possible champions format

Riot havent announced the champions format yet (its probably going to be like masters 3), so whats the WORST possible format that you can think of? doesnt have to be reasonable or even possible. heres mine

i call it the speedrun
teams are randomly selected in pairs, and have a BO1, its single elimination, all matches happen on different streams, events over in a day .
maybe make it a spike rush tourney to cut even more time.

idk if u think riot are playing around here and going to do spike rush in the biggest VALORANT tournament ever xD

You watched challengers rise and masters fall. Now 16 teams will compete in an international double-elimination tournament, and it’s all to become the VALORANT World Champions. https://playvalorant.com/en-us/news/announcements/what-s-new-in-valorant-episode-3-act-iii/

best case scenario its all replication

it’s confirmed double elim, now i don’t know if that’s a 16-team double elim bracket or double elim group stage and then single elim playoffs. i don’t think they have enough time for double elim playoffs AND double elim group stage, so it almost has to be one of those options
