Excuse me sir, you've seemed to dropped this microphone of yours. Do you want it back?

I think everyone's frustration is really at how we were all somewhat blindsided by this announcement. We knew that championships was evolving, but a change from 600 teams to "2 championships, multiple cities, region locked" is just a large step. There was no announcement of potential changes, no feedback or ideas bounced from the community. Had there even been a rumor of 2 championship events earlier, I'm sure we wouldn't be this upset at the moment. It reminds me of the backlash against microsoft when the Xbox One was first announced...
