Tier 2 is in ruins

Will it ever be fixed... They just don't care enough. People turn up to watch these matches yet...

I guess what could work, possibly, is having a semi-open circuit. The franchised teams still hold onto their slots and they cannot be relegated, however they are now 2 years long and not 4. 10 franchised orgs + 6 guest orgs = 16 team league. Guest orgs qualify to any sort of regional event (kickoff or stage 1/2) based on results in tier 2. There are enough slots to have all the possibly ascending candidates and they can now qualify to international events. So next year, for example, a team like All Knights could clinch a slot for the kick off and then win the kick off while attending the first Masters. It is harder for them due to an extra event, however teams get more exposure, they can still win events and they advertise themselves to riot for the next 2 years

They mention everything except the fact that its not profitable to compete in t2.
