Getting a 3 hit burst with Dark Pact is enough to kill a lot of supports right away instead of having them turn, disable, and survive (or force staff away). It's no good for a 6 slot or late game Slark, but if you're trying to win midgame fights against squishy targets or targets that will disable you it's a huge return on investment. | ||

Top four to six of the previous Major is fine, but twelve is a commercial decision to drag in all the fan favorite teams so they're guaranteed an appearance, even if they don't deserve it or should have qualified. | ||

Top 4 previous major + 2 performance invites non-related to majors. 10 left Give every region an automatic 1 qualifier slot. 6 slots left. Then, look at previous major results for relevance/dominance. More I think about it, the less I'm sure it would work. Each region would need a different format for the different amount of Qualifier spots. | ||

Each region would need a different format for the different amount of Qualifier spots. Once again, there is no precise version to measure relevance. The only viable one would be a wildcard, so something like top 4 + 2 performance + 2 qualifiers per region + 2 wildcards for 4 3rd places of qualifiers. | ||

Each region would need a different format for the different amount of Qualifier spots. It could work, but they'd need a system to decide how to count results for each region. As it is, they look at results from the last six months for their invite, which in my opinion is too long of a time, and it's why they had to invite this many teams. | ||
