I don't think it is something they will ever do, and also LCQ happens at the same time as Ascension tournament. The Ascension winner won't even be decided

Yes, so basically a 4 team double-elim and the winner joins the remaining 3 teams for another 4 team double-elim

The 4 teams that didn't make playoffs have a double-elim tournament, the winner joins the three teams in playoffs that didn't qualify to masters/champs for another double-elim. Thoughts? or is the format too long?
