Astralis shows up at majors. Probably a team that performs better under the pressure of a main event instead of worse.
A bit like OG in Dota, though they only show up for the biggest event and not Majors.

I don't know if teams have the motivation to play a bronze match. Although they should do more on the final day than just the final. At least in Dota, they do at least two series (lower bracket finals and grand finals) during the final day. | ||

Sure it would be lower quality games but make the price money different and make top 3 receive invites to the final stage at the next major while 4:th drops a stage. Should be enough to make the teams go all out even if they are in worse mental shape after getting knocked out from finals. | ||

I think the format we have now is good (Having the top-8 get an invite to the second group stage, and the 6 teams after that an invite to the first group stage), why try to fix something that's not broken. It awards consistency while also giving underdogs a chance to prove themselves. | ||
