sao paulo 😍

Single elimination is so baddddddddd like badddddddd

double elim in Americas kkkkkkkk

Single elim playoff is badge

Single elim? Riot literally doesn't have any excuse for it to be single elim like they did lock in. Unlike lock in, the goal is not to show off teams. The purpose of ascension is to get the best of the best team in tier 2 and integrate them into t1, so having a single elim format determine that is so incredibly counterproductive. It doesn't make any sensee

bo3 is good but damn single elim huh

what is this play-ins thing in emea?

All 2nd place of this split (or 2nd points) in every eu VCL to determine 1 more team (because there is 10 teams in Main, but EU has only 9 leagues)
