If you undervalue the "big" tournament at the end of the year (Champions) it's also not good for the scene. There's a reason why more people tune into Ti for dota or Worlds for LoL compared to their other tournaments, as it's seen as the best teams of that whole year fighting for a championship trophy.
Lock/in also felt like a Mickey mouse Knightly tournament because of the format, not to take anything away from Fnatic, more Riot's fault imo.
