8 teams in Playoff

How about next year an 8-team regional playoff with this format:
The top 2 teams in the league go directly to the upper semifinals (as usual).
The 7th and 8th teams in the league start in the lower bracket and will face the 2 losing teams (from the 3rd-6th teams in the league).

This would provide more matches to watch. Also, a long league to give only 6 teams a playoff ticket is quite predictable since 3rd week finish.

There will already be an 8-team regional playoff next year.

As per ascension changes:
Top 8 >>> Fight for a spot at ascension
Miss Playoffs >>> Get relegated to Challengers

This implies that playoffs will have 8 teams.

Most probable hypothesis (But worst case scenario) :
8 team bracket :
Every team in top 8 start in winner bracket, 1 play against 8, EG end 8th and eliminate the best team.

Not impossible hypothesis :
8 team bracket with 1 round played :
Top 4 in winner bracket, Bottom 4 in looser bracket

Korean hypothesis :
King of the hill bracket with 8 team :
Some team might be in looser, but you can also have a double KoTH like in Chin LoL in the past

NA S2-2 hypothesis :
8 team bracket in 2-4-2 :
top 2 got a by, 7-8 in looser, and 3-6 go in winner
