they aren't a bad team, but they aren't that good either.

pacific stage 2 was honestly cracked, there were so many good teams and they weren't able to keep up
i feel really bad for them since they might not make playoffs at this point and both boom and nongshim are going to get straight relegated to challengers without a chance to defend their ascension slot - both are not even bad teams, but pacific is too stacked
i'd rather watch ascension with boom and nongshim in it though - atm they might not even get to play in the ascension tournament 🥀
top 8 in champions points wont get them to relegation, they will fight for ascension still
is it in terms of champs points though? i thought it was they had to make playoffs?
top 8 in IL
that ranking is based on the champs points, not playoffs
the confusion came from this article: https://valorantesports.com/en-GB/news/updates-to-valorants-path-to-pro-challengers-premier-and-ascension-for-the-2025-season - which has top 8 in IL as stage 2 playoffs
but i think someone else said that either way is fine - either make playoffs or top 8 in points gets you ascension

Ascended Team Defends their slot at Ascension
If they qualify for Stage 2 playoffs but fail to qualify for Champions
If they are top 8 in Champions Points but fails to qualify for Champions
If they are the lower performing of two Ascension Teams who qualified for Champions
If they are tied for Top 8 in Champions Points
No, it's top 8 of stage 2 not champs point. As you can see the image visual is "miss playoff" go back to challengers. Only in valo2asia they specifically said top 8 champs point, but in riot official they only said top 8
its an older graphic bro the rules were never finalized until last month and they made it easier to defend the slot by having the top 8 champs points criteria. im like 99% sure valo2asia is right.
i feel like they would be performing better if they all speak indo.
not saying dos9 is bad, but surely comms in native language would fix em a bit?
boom is a good team we have seen that but playoffs did something to their confidence they just havent been able to reach that form again in matches. obv in practice it could be different we have no idea but yeah in matches they dont show up as a collective anymore.
