I've said it before, and I'll say it again: if you're genuinely the 7th best team in your region you shouldn't get auto-relegated and spend the 2nd season each year in the Lower Bracket - which forces you to have to do TI last-ditch qualifiers.
My best solution to this is: * no relegation from upper div, but two teams are promoted (i.e. upper div is 10 teams for 2nd season) * 2nd season prize money for 9th/10th in upper division is the same as 1st/2nd in lower division * bottom 2 from lower div can do S2 qualifiers
I have the same idea, valve could give more money to the leagues
I've always been a fan of all promo/relegation happens with actual matches between the teams. 4 team double elim ez
It can lead to stagnation though: after spending a whole season playing against skilled teams and then having to suddenly win 2 games against very skilled teams - can be a step-up that's too big too quick.
We had this problem on Reach between Div S and Pinnacle. That was essentially our solution. Pinnacle only grew, no demotion.
This also better supports overall growth of the skill level of the ecosystem
10 slots make more sense but if they do proceed with promotion/demotion: How about Upper Div #8 gets relegated - Lower Div #1 gets promoted, and a play-off happens for the last Upper Div slot between Upper Div #7, Lower Div #2, and Lower Div #3?
This is pretty cool, I like it a lot. Do you know of any leagues that had this system?
Never heard of it, because most league-like systems are super long-running (i.e. no reshuffle after a "world cup" like system) or franchise (i.e. no relegation).
