Riot Games has announced that the FunPlus Phoenix team will be compensated for skipping VCT 2022: Stage 1 Masters - Reykjavík. The team will receive from the organizers a prize of $25,000 and 200 rating points, comparable for getting into the TOP-8 of the championship.
Following the announcement that FunPlus Phoenix will not be able to compete at VCT 2022: Stage 1 Masters - Reykjavík, we have made the decision to award FunPlus Phoenix an award equivalent to a Top 8 finish, which is the lowest place a team could achieve at the event.
