You have no power here.
The group stages won't work I think, its just too messy and people are too unreliable and the media team won't punish hard enough to make it work. Last time around some groups had players that didn't play at all (4 players, no games played). It was very hard to even make a judgement in some but it was often decided that the ones with arguably the most effort would advance. A good chunk of those players that advanced then didnt end up playing in the bracket stages. Meanwhile, some groups had a lot of active players that ended up getting screwed because they barely lost in a rough group despite putting in a lot of effort to get games played. If you'd mix two of these groups Im sure these more active players would have easily advanced, and all players putting in effort would at least get to play some games.
At first sight 6 man groups make it seem harder to schedule shit, but I think if you think about it a second time it makes things easier. You have to play games to get yourself in the top 3, because there will always be people playing games. Admin decisions become easier too, most of the time, and theres usually more games to play which seems fun to me.
