A Proposed Change to the Worlds Format

If this first day and all the previous Worlds has taught us anything, it's that there are no surprises in the outcome of the World Championship. The team that is expected to win will win and there is seemingly nothing RIOT can do about it to make the league competetive.

So why waste the time of the players and the fans by making us go through a month and a half of formality games to crown a Korean champion? The players don't need it and the fans don't care to watch it.

I propose that if RIOT finds it completely nescessary to burden us with this mess, that they should do it on a smaller scale. We can finish the Worlds Championship in 2 Weekends (6 Days) and then move on to something more exciting and better.

Have only 2 teams from each region go, play a single elimination game until there is only 2 teams left (Riot loves BO1s) and those two teams play in the finals for the win. Kind of like a March Madness bracket.

With this format, we do not prolong the inevitable and boring outcome. We do not waste a month and a half before these players can get back to doing something meaningful rather than being fillers to a Korean champion.

Just a thought to "Make the League Great Again".:: if it ever was.

PS: Moon landing was real (saves the inevitable argument in the comment section)

The first day of main stage and people are already curling up in a ball and waving a white flag of resent.

Honestly if you can make that into a fully organized system maybe I'll pay it more attention.

I know I would. The format now is tedious.

Bad idea for multiple reasons. Not gonna bother explaining them because they are obvious.

Yeah. And why doesn't the NBA just hand the trophy to the Warriors. The NFL could just hand it to the Patriots too and save us all the trouble of bothering to even watch. Oh wait.
