Ascension Pacific 

EMEA will hold the "play-in" tournament for each region's runner-up teams.
Additionally, there is nothing for the Pacific Division's runner-up teams.
Ascension Pacific would have looked more potential with 12 teams if Pacific had offered 2 additional slots (wildcard/play-in) through an online tournament where the 2nd seeder from each region competes for the 2 slots.

Single-elimination tournaments are awful!
Even the prize pool of this event is just 100K USD whereas South Asia split's prize pool was 140K USD
It feels like Riot is careless about the t2 scene in Pacific

i think an online play in isnt possible because there will be massive ping problems. for example if 2nd place of oce plays against second plce of india or smth like that

online would never work brody, how tf do a JP team can play against an Indian team? you want them to play in 100 ping? they tried to do that in APAC LCQ and it was madness
