Partnered teams are guaranteed to stay in t1 unfortunately even if they don’t win a single game all year. Its only the ascended team who fight to stay or fight in ascension for the spot if they finish top 8, if not then they directly go to tier 2.

10 Franchised teams, 2 Ascended teams.

Ascended teams have 3 options:

  • Relegate: Miss regional playoffs (no Ascension)
  • Fight: Make Playoffs or Top 8 in points (Defend slot in Ascension)
  • Extend: Make Champs (Stay next year in T1). If both teams make Champs, the higher placing stats while the latter must Fight.

In Americas, 2G missed playoffs and are relegated while G2 made Champs and extended their slot. That’s why you’re not seeing any T1 teams in Ascension. EMEA is the same.

Pacific is interesting because NS made Playoffs but Boom also got top 8 in points so both must Fight. For China, both teams made Champs but XLG are still in so they’ll get to Extend their slot while DRG Fight in Ascension.

The way the ascension system works is that if you're too bad/too good, you don't make ascension. Basically, since 2G was too bad to make playoffs, they weren't good enough to qualify for ascension, the same case with both EMEA ascension teams. G2 on the other hand, made champs and so are too good to make ascension since they played well enough to guarantee a slot in VCT next year
