VCT -> Franchised

#1

How does a Vct team getting promoted to franchised work again? Is the highest performing team in each league’s vct region (like highest performer in NA VCT, BR VCT, and LATAM VCT) replaces the lowest performing team in each franchised league? Or is it the one winner of the VCT international LAN?
Where can I find the info on the format?

Got it, thanks. So each franchised league grows by 1 each year. And each ascension winner gets in for 2 years?

What if you get promoted and like win a franchised tourney? You still get demoted after 2 years?

Honestly, im not too sure. The relegation thing wont come into effect until 2026.
Knowing riot the rules may change.
More information will likely come out closer to that date.
but right now it looks likes , yes you will get relegated no matter what after 2 years (which seems like a bummer)

yes you do, but at that point your team is 100% gonna be bought by one of the franchised orgs

its VCL but basically they just get added to franchise, no teams get kicked
if they win ascension they go to franchise for 2 years
