I was wondering how to improve the seeding and qualification process in future tournaments. To me and many other players/experts it is clear that in the current situation we have like 6 or even 7 teams which are above the rest. Mainly the interesting question is which team is the 8th team to qualify.
Due to the normal seeding in a qualifier, where the first 6 or 7 teams have to play aswell, they will just kill their opponents easily.
My idea is to make the qualifier not for the first 8 spots, but let the best 6 teams qualify directly while the other teams play for last spots. In this situation, also seeding 9-16 have a chance to qualify, because they "just have to beat seed Nr. 8" which makes a big difference. Could be a league system or double ko or something like that.
What you guys think about that?
