under usual circumstances you would probably have to retire after winning an international, since you would almost definitely not get dropped mid season after winning a match
it is also possible to win the last match of group stage and still get eliminated, as TS did last stage, then you just have to get dropped before the next stage. This actually happened with 2GE and Wild0reoo, so unless they get picked up again then they will join babybay in this very esteemed title

The agent is currently at the hospital recovering and the doctor said it might have an impact on his dementia
