SRG relegation

Hynix

just a question are they going to be auto-promoted to closed-qualifiers again or no for split 2 (since they're probably about to get relegated here)

They play against hakkikimori and the loser of ambrosia burger boyz in a 3 team round robin, worst team gets instantly relegated to t3, other 2 teams play the 2nd and 3rd place teams from premier in a one bo5 series to qualify

what im wondering is like for split 1 they were auto-qualified to closed qualifiers which put them in a really good spot to qualify to t2 (which they did)
and since they're 99% going to get relegated now im wondering if they'll be auto-qualified for stage 2 closed qualifiers again?
or does stage 2 just not have that and this relegation tournament w/ the premier teams decide who makes it to stage 2

Nah now there’s no more closed or open quals for the year, only premier, https://x.com/valesportsna/status/1869503069513568336?s=46 towards the bottom

oh damn, that's actually pretty interesting
so the only way to get in to tier 2 (as a team) now is through Premier if I'm understanding correctly, which ig is somewhat similar to open quals, but I like how it's engrained completely in to the game

There's no more closed or open quals it's just straight down to highest division of premier which is invite if they choose to which they most likely won't and just go back to GC circuit
