It's about the percentage, not the number of events. You say only 25% of teams get to go to one of the two events. Just like in previous years when 25% of teams got to go to one championship. You still say "only 25% of teams made it this year, and we were one of them."
It's still just as marketable as it was before. Saying that we're going to get to 60 world championships is a straw man, and really weakens his argument.
