I guess the format doesn't help yeah, that and the whole making the tournament last so many weeks because they only play a few games every weekend, kinda kills the excitement I think. Those semis were boring as hell though,As a whole I would agree with you. More teams plus a losers bracket means for more and most likely better games. The loser bracket finals and the grand finals themselves were pretty lacklustre though. It just seemed good because a western team ended up winning the whole thing.
neither of the western team looked like they could win the series after the first 20minutes of the first game.
That said after watching a bunch of lol, there's been a lot of improvements in terms of champion viability and stuff but god are a lot of the game no action farmfests for 25-30mins. Once the fighting starts it gets good but the laning in lol is like really bad, lasts too long and there's only like 1kill attempt every 3-4minutes at most when the jungler is rotating. Riot should probably look into tweaking kill/turret gold versus just farming creeps to emphasize agression a bit more during early game.
