2G have gotten better

yes but they arent making it out of ascension again and they will be forced to play ascension or get auto relegated because of g2

2G

thats not how it works take apeks and m8s for example if both make playoffs of emea only 1 gets relegated im pretty sure but they play in ascension which means they have to win again and i just think if thats the case these teams like apeks or xlg will be able to beat up the tier 2 teams

I guess not in this context, but on this site I've seen people say to relegate the bad franchises.

in China there's a very real chance DRG don't make it assuming CCG and ALG are as good as their rosters hype would insinuate, and Rare Atom could also build a pretty good team regardless of if they get korean imports again or not. if Yuk1no's pug gets signed they could also be a very real threat

yeah but for 2G specifically it doesn't work bc they're an ascension team

Even if apeks made top 8 Pcific would snap them in half in ascension. But... They wont make top 8. So question is answered already

Who's even the favorite going into China Ascension this year? I don't read the Chinese forums

AMER : 2G --> EXL (I really hope, It will not happen wut I want to beleive)
APAC : Will depend of groups NS will draw
EMEA : Apeks, they would win ascention with Flor, but might not qual because they need to be 4th in group
CHINA : Potentially none depending of groups and split 2 form

Impossible to know right now, split 12 count for nothing in relegation

Top 8 = Qualified for ascention

they would not win against m80 or sr

G2: 100% Stay in tier 1 (This team is anomaly)
2G: 100% Relegate (i don't think 2G win more than 2 matches)
DRG: 40% Stay in tier 1, 60% Ascension (a good team but there are better partnered team in China. Might end 5th-6th)
XLG: 45% Stay in tier 1, 55% Ascension (a bit better team than DRG. Might end 3rd-6th)
M8: 20% Stay in tier 1, 80% Ascension (a standard for good ascension team in tier 1)
Apeks: 100% Relegate (same as 2G)
Boom: 45% Stay in tier 1, 55% Ascension (Pacific is really hard when Gen.G finally get better and RRQ TLN NS Boom are coin flip)
Nongshim: 40% Stay in tier 1, 60% Ascension (a strong team but less potential growth than Boom)
