To my understanding
There will be an lcq for the last spot in main stage, from GON's tweets I assume the lcq is to decide who will replace fennel

The participants will be
Reject + 4 teams from phase 2 who failed to qualify to main stage
Context :
For a split 2 main stage bottom 4 teams which in this case REJECT ( 7th/8th) , they have to maintain 3 players from their roster so they can play for split 3 qualifiers. However REJECT was given the wrong information before the rules had been finalized, this resulted in them withdrew or better term disqualified from split 3.
Opinion:
I think reject should've known about the rules, this isn't some new rules or anything , hasn't 3 core player rule has been in place for quite some time now? It's not like the rules will suddenly change or anything...
Also I think it's either reject pushing roster moves too early or riot is so slow with their communication, but it's not like riot has anything to say either if the rules will always be the same...
