Why not open for all but tier vs tier? Let say after 8 tier 1 teams faced each other, left 4, and 16 tier 2 teams face each other and left 8, the 4 tier 1 will mixed into the 8 tier 2 teams. At least the PROS and the NOOBS get to play and have their skills tested with the so called PROS. If you keep on winning in tier 2 category, that doesn't make you a champion but more like a champion of losers.
