G2 bought their way in, they didn't ascend
one does not contradict the other, they bought the slot AND thus ascended to tier 1
what are you even getting at? if g2 is not a partner team, and not an ascension team, wtf are they then??
To ascend mean to win Ascension mr. Xi JinPing. Why are G2 still under the Ascension rule that they have to make 2 playoffs or else they get sent back to Ascension/Challengers if they aren't seen as an Ascended TheGuard lmao?
They went from tier 2 to tier 1 So basically ascended Idk whats your point
