What is difference between relegation and auto relegation
Can someone pls explain this concept, when ur auto relegated that means ur forever out of lcs? and to be relegated means that you have to return to challenger series to fight to be in lcs?

Auto relegation means you do not get to fight for your spot in the LCS during the Promotion Tournament, and are automatically relegated to the Challenger Series. You can though compete in the Challenger series and if you place high enough participate in the next promotion tournament to get into the LCS again. This only happens to the 10th place LCS team.
Relegation is for the 8/9th place teams of the LCS, and they then face the 2nd/3rd place teams from the Challenger series to see who gets to compete in the next LCS split. They are only actually relegated if they lose.
Autorelegation: Out of the LCS the next split, automatically in challenger series Relegation: Play a challenger team for your LCS spot next split

Light Green (C9 and TSM): Advance directly to semi-finals of the playoffs. Automatically qualified for summer split. Blue(CLG, TiP, GV and TL): Advance to first round of playoffs. Automatically qualified for summer split. Grey(T8): Out of playoffs. Automatically qualified for summer split. Orange(Winterfox and Dignitas): Out of playoffs. Plays promotion tournament to get back to summer split. Pink(Team Coast): Out of playoffs. Out of Summer Split
Consequently, Team that places 1st in the NA CS promotion tournament will occupy Team Coast's spot in summer split. Teams placed 2nd and 3rd will occupy the other 2 spots.
