Ascension Team Relegation

#1

column1

Can someone explains how the system for relegation works, is it just the worst performing of the two teams from each region gets relegated at the end of this year? If so that sucks for China when their ascension teams seem to solidly be in the top half of the t1 teams.

basically if you don't make champs you get relegated

if both ascension teams make champs the one who does worse gets relegated

If both teams don't is it worse overall yearly performance or the older team?

it's just both teams, and then top 1 and 2 from ascension both make it to tier 1

wait that's actually insane, there's a pretty good chance every ascension team except for g2 gets nuked

If you finish 9-12 you get auto relegated
If you finish 5-8 you get put in Ascension and have to fight to stay in
If you finish 1-4 (i.e. make Champs) you keep your spot for another year

If both teams finish 1-4 then the lower placing team goes to Ascension
If neither team makes Champs then the top 2 at Ascension make tier 1 (similar to NS and BME this year, only without the BLD part)

So 9-12 at the end of the season means you have to go back through open qualifiers for ascension and then 5-8 is a reserved spot in ascension?

For 9-12, I'm not sure, tbh. All of these are trustworthy orgs (well, as far as we're aware, at least) so if they're gonna keep investing in the VALORANT scene then I don't see why they wouldn't be directly invited into Challengers. That being said, I don't think there's been an actual statement on what happens then. Guess we'll find out later in the year

But yeah, that's how it works for 5-8
