Much like 2021, VALORANT players in the Oceanic region will be able to compete for multiple opportunities to play on the international stage. The tournament, beginning January through to September, will run in two stages – Stage 1 and Stage 2. Each stage will end with a Regional Playoffs, where teams will accumulate points based on their placements to earn their spot in the 2022 VALORANT Oceania Championship.

Each stage offers a $25,000 AUD prize pool for the top 8 teams, with the winning team after each Regional Playoffs scoring a place overseas in the APAC Playoffs, with the chance to qualify for VALORANT Masters. The 2022 VALORANT Oceania Championship includes a $30,000 AUD prize pool to finish off the year for Oceania, with the top teams qualifying for the APAC Last Chance Qualifiers.

LPL’s founder and Managing Director, Duane Mutu, is thrilled to be tackling the tournament for a second year running. “Partnering with Riot Games to bring back this epic opportunity for Oceanic esports competitors – bigger and better than ever – is a fantastic way to kick-off 2022.
