Why did C9 take Dignitas's Spot in Regionals?

I was looking at the bracket and saw that C9 was in there but Dignitas was not. Why is this when Dignitas was in the summer playoffs?

The Regionals bracket is decided by Championship Points not Playoffs placement. While DIG placed higher than C9 in Summer Split, C9 had more overall Championship Points than DIG based on their performance throughout Spring and Summer Splits.

Dignitas never had a spot in Regionals, C9 had a way higher number of championship points in the circuit because of their 2nd place finish in the Spring

C9 finishing 7th in Summer and avoiding Promotion Series managed to retain their points and thus qualified for Regionals
