this whole "fuck franchising" and "bring back open qualifiers".
isn't this ascension format the best non fluke/"fraudulent" way to decide teams, open qualifiers is single elim and m80 wouldn't have even sniffed the GF of ascension, also 2G beat them TWICE, theres no such thing as FLUKE my guy. Also the reason M80 didn't make franchising was because someone else was better and deserved it more, it would have ended the same way if m80 played in open qualifiers and lost to some random team like "give chamber 3 wives".
please stop acting like riot is the reason m80 lost or didn't make T1.
