if boom took bleeds spot, does it mean they only have this year to qualify for champs
officially, here is how it is supposed to go
If neither team makes playoffs: the team that places worse in stage 2 will be relegated and the better team will stay in Tier 1 for the following year
If both teams make playoffs: the team that places worse will compete in ascension immediately again, while the other one stays in Tier 1 guaranteed
If one makes playoffs and the other doesn't: The one that does not gets relegated and the better team stays in Tier 1
