Global Head of VALORANT Esports Leo Faria teased on Plat Chat that there are plans for OCE teams to qualify for tournaments in VCT 2027: "Oceania is not reflected in our materials right now, but they will have a path through SEA. [...] The plan is for the SEA Open to include an LCQ for example, so OCE players will have a path."

@VALO2ASIA so they will sacrifice SEA again? always on the short end of stick eh? you already have bunch of team in SEA and then have to share with OCE. not saying OCE didn't deserved their slot but sacrifacing SEA slots for another region is big F'ed

@VALO2ASIA Just me or is this still not clarifying that OCE will have its own tourney on Sydney region to qualify for SEA playoffs to then move for low ping.

@VALO2ASIA @ConkyOCE Simply NOT good enough @lhfaria! OCE playin on unfair ping to SEA & LCQ for top1 isnt it. Theres no good reason 2 not include at least 1 direct spot. If Valve can do it for CS2 & see OCE historically perform better than other Asian regions (except Mongolia) it can happen here too

@VALO2ASIA So an Oceanian team will have to : Go to SEA -> Go to the place where cup is -> Go to the place where Inter is (I suppose structure will relocate in Perth to have a "decent" ping but still) Just give one direct spot to OCE the same way you give to SA it's not that hard x)
