How Does First Strike Work?

I don't really understand how qualifying for the global First Strike tournament works. Like on Valorant's YouTube, there is an NA open qualifier, NA closed qualifier, then there is a NA UMG closed qualifier, then we see Champions Tour? I'm just really confused about why there are so many parts of the First Strike Qualifiers. Are they different stages? What does open and closed mean? I really appreciate the feedback!

Feature Suggestion: Skin Shuffle

For anyone who has many skins for a specific weapon, a Shuffle feature could be introduced where it will randomly pick a skin from the ones you own. What do you think of this?

I've used replay systems from many other games. Valorant's "system" is ok for producing cinematic clips for montages, but here's why I think replay systems is great for storytelling in general. And for Valorant in particular.
