100T qualified in close because of Hiko so he isn't allowed to be removed because he is part of the core that qualified from Berlin, which makes them the top 4 from 2021.
but hear me out, the BR qualifying system is different compare to NA. They invited 6 teams which is 4 teams in NA, they go through close before group stage and other stuff. That is why I speculated that qualifying internationally have anything to do with it, my bad. But I dont think its right to compare the qualifying system of both regions
