Cant speak for baltimore/st louis but detroit and cleveland downtown areas are actually really nice and would be a solid place to host an event.

I'm sure every city has at least one nice area (btw, downtown detroit is NOT that nice, times have changed). But that doesn't change the fact that the majority of detroit and cleveland are dumps, and if an event is being hosted in a city then I'm sure fans will want to see that city as well while they're there. None of the cities I mentioned would be acceptable as host cities.

SO 16 teams. If I had to guess, that's:
4 from EMEA, NA, and Pacific
3 China
+1 for winner of Masters

I don't think they'll give China 4 slots due to how new the scene is. Plus, at Masters they only get the 2 spots, I don't think they'd double it and give it to the next tournament.

Winner+runner up of Masters could get a slot maybe instead of 3 for China.

NA really needed an event, LA seems like the perfect place to get creators involved and a good first host for NA. Personally I wish it was on the east coast though like Florida, DC, or NYC. Still going as long as I can get a ticket at a reasonable price.
