In all honesty, I feel like LCQ was a system where you had these teams making their way into a Champs spot that had been really inconsistent all year long. For example, KRU 2023. Won a whole total of 0 games the whole year and made their way into a Champs spot, then losing 2-0 to both their opponents.i am not trying to disregard their efforts but I feel like a team getting through championship points, would mean they would need somewhere around 10 points, in other words 10 games won, which feels a lot more deserved.
Like think of this. Team A. Had a good start of the year, did great until stage 2 but then they fumbled due to some unforeseen circumstances. I feel like them having those points and going through would really be helpful and meaningful than some team just coming with insane form without anything done all year and just make it to Champs due to those two weeks.
Tldr: Consistency>Peak
You can have your own opinion, this is just what I feel.
