If I understand this properly 8 teams now make playoffs in split 2. Which means the chances of an ascension team to fight for his spot instead of being directly relegated increase quite a lot
I think this is good but it could lead to a block where no team ascends for a while if I’m understanding this correctly
AstroGalaxy [#2]lol if G2 or m80 or whoever cant win in ascension then they should be disbanded
EDIT: OH i misread your post lmao, shit you might be right
Yeah a tier 1 team has a big advantage on which players they can sign respect to a tier 2.
If the tier 2 team has to beat G2 to ascend we might never get a new team. Also G2 is good this year but imagine they had to play relegation and their team wasn’t good, I can’t imagine them not spending whatever is necessary to retain that spot

yeah good point, leo fraudia fucked up
AstroGalaxy [#4]yeah good point, leo fraudia fucked up
Nah I overall like the changes but that might need some polishing
Inort [#5]So its like G2 relegates and gets promoted again next season because they are too good compared to tier 2 teams?
If they get relegated they are not "significantly better than everyone else". And if they get relegated I seriously doubt they manage to keep the players, if I were them I would have clauses on my contract for that
Nef0r0 [#8]so then tier 2 teams are just punching a hole in this case, got it
Idk really, a guy was asking this the other day. I'm not 100% positive if both Ascension teams make playoffs they both get to go to Ascension, the one that places worse might get directly relegated idk. And idk if that would be better or worse lmao. In defense of Riot this is hard af
IonlywatchvcjXD [#7]But if somehow the gatekeeper team ( e.g g2 or gm8) somehow lose against a tier 2 team that means the bar has been raised no?
Yeah that would be the ideal scenario. I'm saying what if the tier 2 team never wins
