You fail to see the point. The fact that there at least is some sort of competion internally is what makes the level of a region higher, you can argue than at the end one of the 2 teams ended up being trash, which would actually be true, but apart from EMEA, which region sent 2 teams who both ended up doing something? APAC sent PRX and XIA, PRX did good, XIA won a fluke game and that's it, they always lost after that. LATAM sent KRU and LEV, KRU as well only won 1 game, but LEV managed to get a top 6. NA had first seeds going out 0-2, true, but at least remember who they lost to, both had to face optic in the first match up, and Guard ended up facing PRX which ended 4th in the tournament, while XSET had to play LEV, who had a close game with fnatic who only lost to the 2 finalists of the tournament. And don't even let me bring up the average level of team who didn't qualify from those regions, which yes, wpuld mostly be speculation, but at least would get a bit more insight on that
