It's not "leaked" it's been posted here days ago https://www.vlr.gg/48261/looking-ahead-end-of-the-year-signals-change-in-europe-and-beyond
I think that they don't want the situation of a team placing high in masters 1 and then not do anything the rest of the year, but still qual for champs due to their early year perfomances. Something like what is happening with fnatic, sort of.
Or maybe they are also planning to host more T1 tournies outside of VCT
