Since they come from Ascension, they'll get kicked out from franchising after their 2nd year right? No matter if they win any tournaments?
The Guard did, but then decided to disband the team due to... reasons. Then G2 bought the team as they didn't get a spot in VCT, allegedly due to the Ocelote/Tate incident.
G2 didn't win Ascension, TGRD did.
If Riot wants to keep 10 teams and have a constant flux of 2 Ascension teams, add relegation. Let them fight for their spot.
No they should not. Ascension is good as it is why would you allow a financially unstable org like the guard to ascend, we already have enough scandals with the ones that are supposed to be controlled.
And no they should not add relegation, teams can change from 1 year to another. If there was relegation KRU and TH would be gone, and we would have random orgs with no fans and mid rosters like Apeks instead
The Relegation I planted meant as a Relegation only for the 2 Ascension teams.
10 fixed teams (iirc, their spot lasts for 4 years who just continue if Riot says so after the 4 years)
2 Ascension teams (one of them looses its spot in VCT annually and fights in Relegation to keep the spot against the tier 2 team)
