Honestly whats up with Riot announcing everything at the last fucking minute? Open quals for Na are supposed to start the beginning of December, Shankz even asked Sinatraa if hes down to play quals "next week" tho he might have mispoken. Why are there no official announcements?
There is essentially no T2 roster officially announced except the SR roster. Also I read somewhere that some orgs get invited to ascension and dont have to play the quals, we also dont know who these are no? We don't even know how many teams will be in in the NA regional league, how many will qualify for the ascension tournament etc. Idk its so dumb and seems unprofessional. I would hope that managers/players have more information internally but with teams still getting build rn and rosters not even announced it does not seem like it. Feel like this is actually a huge reason why orgs are hesitant to invest into the scene bc they have little time to build a good team and they don't even know how many teams they will have to compete against for that one one franchising spot.
