Start with only 13 automatic major slots rather than 16.

Exact distribution doesn't matter all that much

Or something similar (^this bit isn't the important bit and could be different, read the rest)

Then there are LCQs (like we had before TI) between the best teams in each region not in the top X to make major. Could be bo1 round robin to reduce the time required

top 3 from each go to major

Then crucially, The worst-performing region across the LCQs from that year loses a slot for the next year and the slot is given to the best-performing region.

For example, suppose these are the results from Major LCQs next season:

​

Then the average ranking for each region would be:

1. WEU (2)
2. SEA (3)
3. NA (3.7)
4. SA (4)
5. CN (4)
6. EEU (4.3)

And then EEU would lose an automatic major slot to WEU the following season.

Thank you if you read all the way through. Would love you hear your thoughts/amendments/ways of dealing with ties between regions?

TL;DR: bring back LCQs for every major and let the outcome of LCQs determine the rebalancing of major slots going forward

Edit: table wasn't showing correctly

Edit2 : removed proposed distribution of 13 automatic qualifiers because people got too hung up on them and that isn't the point of the post
