I personally am happy for a nationality-based cup. Not because I give any kind of damn about borders or anything, but just to see some scrambling of teams. I've seen MbL+Nicov, Hera+Lierrey+Hearttt, TheViper-TaToH-DauT, and so forth pretty often in somewhat recent history. I'm down for watching some altered dynamics and switched up strategies for a major tournament.
If anything, it's unfortunate that not every team will have the switch-ups, as the presumed Finland, China, Brazil, and Vietnam teams will be largely the familiar rosters.
BTW, @Ragdoll, your posts come off as biased against specific countries, and that kind of thing is the only thing that makes me hesitant about nationality-based competitions. Figured I'd let you know, since your argument is probably stronger without it.
