ascension is the name of the final tournament to get into franchising for next year, challengers is the regular season for non-franchised teams. the team that wins ascension this year makes it into franchising next year, so they get a chance to compete at champions 2024. not 2023.

Beautiful art and graphic, but for at least NA I remeber seeing that the top 2 teams of the circuit will battle for ascension. I assume it'll be either

2 NA
1 Brazil
1 LATAM (Winner between #1 of Latam south and #1 of Latam north)

or

2 NA
2 Brazil
2 LATAM South
2 LATAM North

either gets a 4 team or 8 team bracket.

this year no, next year yes
