because TTR, 9th place, got 5 points and would max out at 30 points even if they won split 2, m80 is guaranteed ascension playoffs even if they don't show up as they currently have 30 points and get 1 point just for showing up to split 2
10th,11th,12th, obv have less points so m80 have guaranteed 8th+ and will play in the playoff tourney (top 2 teams go to ascension tourney alongside top 2 LATAM, and BR, winner goes to franchising) // even if they literally went on vacation for split 2 (playing for seeding)
obv they 99.9% wouldve anyway but neat to see they are the first guaranteed lock regardless of like idk m80 facility literally getting emp grenades for 2 months
myb title should be challenger playoffs not ascension xD
