Ascension Question

So how does Ascension work technically? How many teams can get Partnered/Franchised?
Do the best Challenger teams in each Region move up to Ascension then have a playoffs amongst the Ascension teams representing their Region?
And then the Winner of that becomes Partnered/Franchised??
Or each team that made Ascension gets Partnered/Franchised?

And what if an Org is dying or can't handle Partnership (for ex. Guard FaZe etc) wins Ascension, do they also become Partnered or a different Org/Franchise will take over?

Only the Ascension Champions get to the International Leagues. So three teams for each NA, EMEA, and PAC. There are only 10 partnered teams. The Ascension teams are considered their own. After 2 seasons, Ascension Winners return to Challengers.

Each Challengers League Split 2 Champions in their respective regions move up to Ascension. For example, Pacific has 10 Challengers Leagues; 10 teams that will battle to become the Ascension Champion and move up to the Pacific League for 2 seasons.

And what if an Org is dying or can't handle Partnership (for ex. Guard FaZe etc) wins Ascension, do they also become Partnered or a different Org/Franchise will take over?

From what I remember, there will/are measures to ensure that the roster that wins Ascension to either not poached or supported as they move up to the International Leagues. So the organizations doesn't matter if the org decided to leave; the roster/core players is the key.

1. only 1 from each region can be promoted to the partnered league so that's a total of 3
2. Each region has a subregion that competes in their local league. Only 1 from each subregion can compete for the ascension spot
3. the winner of ascension is treated the same as with other franchised team, but they are only in the partnered league for 2 years after that they will be demoted back regardless of performance
