i saw some people get confused so decided to explain
asian champions league is the tournament that starts tomorrow in shanghai, itβs not a qualifier for anything, just mid-season for money
specifically, the format is as follows
if a team wins the starting game (trace v zeta, blg v drx, xlg v prx), they get 10k
then, whoever is coming from the higher bracket is the higher seed, and whoever is coming from the lower bracket is the lower seed
if a higher seed wins, they get 10k, if a lower seed wins they get 20k
the winner of the final gets 50k
so, the tournament means nothing, just fun concept + money
