why do FaZe get a bye?

EDIT: answered and closed, thanks Giannero

.

title (why are FaZe the team to replace rise as the eighth team to skip to ro32)

i'm definitely missing something here, because FaZe finished 17-24th in both open qualifiers for stage 1. they also don't even have the same core (LarryBanks, flyuh, and ShoT_UP have been replaced). meanwhile, a team like Akrew placed 5-6th and 7-8th in the open quals, and have retained 3 of their 5 players from stage 1 (gucc107, Neon, Paincakes). the list goes on: TSM, T1, Gen.G, Complexity, SoaR... all of these teams placed equally or even better than FaZe. if you include teams that have had roster overhauls, then we can include even more teams that did equally well or better than FaZe, like Cosmic Divide, Soniqs, former Andbox (now NYFU), and ZMM.B.

so, all that word vomit is to ask: can someone explain how it was decided that FaZe would get a bye? i couldn't find anything on official riot websites.

They got rise players, that's it
