Can someone explain what is APAC playoffs andstuff

LIke I know there is VCC and 2 teams will qualify from it then what will happen ?
And will APAC Playoffs lead us to a Masters slot or a Champions slot ?

APAC Playoffs will consist of teams from SEA,SA and OCE(LAN event).Out of which some teams will play at each masters event against international teams.For SA teams it's not like APAC LCQ where we fought for a spot at champions, instead for every masters event

there will be Qualifiers for SEA , OCE and SA .Teams which come on top in this qualify for APAC Playoffs . the qualifier for SA is VCC for example.
There will be 8 or 10 teams in APAC playoffs.(sorry i dunno if 8 or 10)

• 2 SA Teams (Thru VCC)
• 1 OCE team (thru local qualifier)
• 4 Invited SEA teams from Champs ( can be 3 or 4)
• 3 or 2 SEA teams through Qualifiers (3 or 2 depends on invited teams)

Depending on No of slots for APAC in Masters , Top teams will qualify for Masters .

So its like this right
APAC Playoffs- Masters slot
APAC LCQ -Champs slot

So, JP and KR wont play in the APAC playoffs?

So then no VCT challenger for SEA ? only APAC playoffs ?

There will be VCT challenger for SEA just like their will be VCC for SA in the same way.

JP and KR have 1 slot of their own , they arent included in APAC circuit

But, SEA >>>> JP still SEA don't have their own slots?

UrNightmare [#13]

But, SEA >>>> JP still SEA don't have their own slots?

Maybe because SEA consists of various other regions such as INDO/TH/PH and many more.
Just recalled SEA had direct slots this year MB!!

SEA had their own slots in 2021 , now they are included in APAC (SEA+SA+OCE) where SEA is strongest . And to balance this , Riot may give the APAC region 3 slots to Masters ( SEA had 2 in 2021)

Grumsy [#12]

welcome :D

so how many teams will go though APAC playoffs ?
and 2 more questions -
will SEA also a get slot thru VCT challengers to Masters ?
and how many teams will qualify for Masters thru APAC Playoffs ?

Yeah but, giving direct slots to JP instead of SEA feels kinda absurd.

This means Either 2 or 3 teams will go to Masters from APAC Playoffs (depends on 2/3 slots for APAC region) . And from now on SEA isnt a seperate region in the VCT Circuit , its included in APAC.

Bruh SEA will easily qualify against SA and OCE, JP has its own slots so zhat they are guaranteed to go to masters since they have so many fans.
