“We’re happy to expand the incredibly successful cooperation between ORDER and Riot Games, which began with the very first Ignition Series in the Oceanic VALORANT Open, signing on to run TFT esports in Oceania through the end of Set 8 in 2023,” said Josh Swift, Head of Events at ORDER.
“After the Galaxies Championship, ORDER worked hard to develop the competitive environment in Oceania, and we continued to work hard across Fates and Reckoning to deliver competitors the greatest possible experience,” he added.
ORDER has given routes for Oceanic players to reach the world stage since taking over in Set Four, with each winner, Razza and Escha, making the top eight at the world championship since the relationship began.
The Challenger Series event, which is a closed, invitation-only tournament where the 16 top-ranked players on the ladder fight over two days for automatic qualifying to the Mid-Set Invitational, is the next event in this series. The tournament will take place from January 15 to 16 and will feature a $1,200 AUD prize pool. On Twitch, ORDER will be covering all of the big events in the Gizmos & Gadgets series.
