If Riot wants viewership that badly,

just give a free slot to BBL for Champions.

Or fix your format (increase slots or adjust region slots at least) and more viewers will come in a competitive environment. No one wants to see a mediocre team gets 13-0'd against teams like Team Liquid/Gambit/ACEND/Sentinels/Envy in a major championship called CHAMPIONS.
