Its actually crazy that all you get if you WIN both your kick off and madrid is 6 points, coming 2nd in BOTH would mean you have the same amount of points as a team that went out 0-2 in groups in REGIONALS.
EX: If PRX lose in Madrid finals vs GENG will have the same points as DFM going into split one, when the two couldn't be any farther apart in terms of skill and in game performance.
I get Riot doesn't want to have too many points at the beginning of the year so the end of the season still has some stakes, but IMO this is so dumb, madrid and kickoff are virtually irrelevant for champs when they should actually have some meaning behind them, maybe next year give out some actual points at least at the first masters event instead of just 3 to the winner
