He needs to see if it works (hopefully)
then why test it at champs ? why not test at kickoff ? i guess since franchise is changing in 2027 it makes sense
To get rid of ascension system in 2026.
Exactly, thats might be a bad signe for 2027 T2, I hope AT LEAST in 2027 they would all have a path to master
yeahpath too masters would be nice
Concern would be the ping between sub region that quals for that stage 2 playoffs. KR/JP/SEA & LATAM/BR/NA
Since they are 4 team qualified it's pretty easy : you qualify 1 team for each T2 region, beside EMEA that qual threw EMEA master, and East Asia (JP+KR), that play an EA masters.So nobody has to play with a high ping.
- 1 LAN / 1 LAS / 1 BR / 1 NA
- 1 SEA / 1 SA / 1 OCE / 1 JPKR
- 4 CN
- 3 EU / 1 ME
so 8 VCT teams all start in upper brackets whilst the 4 challengers team fight the losers in lower bracket round 1?
What ? No : 12 T1 team in upper bracket and 4 T2 team in upper bracket too ?
16 team bracket ! We solve the 12 team fromat too
so... for stage 2 playoffs....ALL 12 Tier 1 VCT teams qual to playoffs? What's the point of competing for entire year then? Does VCT points even matter at this point? Every team won't try in regular stage 2 cause all the teams would be in playoffs.
Nevermind I thougt you where talking about KIckoff. For stage 2 playoffs, "Ex-Ascention" tournament would be before Split 2 playoffs, the winner of this tournmanet that replace ascention would be qual to playoffs
I think it's worse, it may mean no ascention team anymore, and they can only participate to champs. If AT LEAST they have a path to every inter event...
i agree with you, without ascension, it is pointless for alot of t2 teams to play
It's not pointless if they have a path to inter... But still...
yeah i know, im just saying that alot of t2 teams aim to get franchised instead of actually performing well at internations
2026 is meant to be the transition period. its introducing a bunch of the changes that they are able to do within their current partnership agreements but there will be even bigger changes that will be implemented to make it fit better than it will this upcoming year
