Do you think teams should get bye's in stage 2?

I don't. I feel its unfair to give bye's to people who've qualified for masters or smth sure they should reap what they deserve but the circuit points is enough imo

No

they definitely should not but it makes sense in order to increase the participation from all regions. It is nice we get more of the other regions but i feel like if they wouldnt be able to make it to playoffs in the first place then theyll just produce subpar matches so yes and no
overall tho i feel like looking at how far all the minor regions have come, id say theres no more need to do byes into playoffs
