what's happening with JP VCL? anyone please gimme info since i barely understand japanese 😢
To my understanding
There will be an lcq for the last spot in main stage, from GON's tweets I assume the lcq is to decide who will replace fennel

The participants will be
Reject + 4 teams from phase 2 who failed to qualify to main stage
Context :
For a split 2 main stage bottom 4 teams which in this case REJECT ( 7th/8th) , they have to maintain 3 players from their roster so they can play for split 3 qualifiers. However REJECT was given the wrong information before the rules had been finalized, this resulted in them withdrew or better term disqualified from split 3.
Opinion:
I think reject should've known about the rules, this isn't some new rules or anything , hasn't 3 core player rule has been in place for quite some time now? It's not like the rules will suddenly change or anything...
Also I think it's either reject pushing roster moves too early or riot is so slow with their communication, but it's not like riot has anything to say either if the rules will always be the same...
This is the lcq format

Imma be honest the lcq screams reject qualifying by default.
Han and esco already lft from alpha esports , welp it's not like they're great either, Merem's back is in pain lmao
Arcobaleno disbanded already
Only chrysalis that's functioning but it's not like they're actually that great either
Vcj split 1 is kinda fked
If we assume split 1 starts with 10 team It will be
2 academy team(zeta ac, dfm ac)
4 teams from split 3 qualifiers (piss weak teams because main teams are missing except riddle)
4 teams from premier ( no fennel, no scarz,
murash + 3 random teams)
Honestly this split 3 thing complicated whole process of roster change caused mostly negative effect for most of the big teams.
