“Our ultimate goal is to see an Oceanic team win at Worlds,” said Riot Games Oceania eSports co-ordinator Ben de Rider. “We’re not on the same level as some of the larger regions yet, but you should never underestimate a bunch of Aussies and Kiwis.”
The OPL Split 1 champions will travel to Turkey to represent Oceania in the International Wildcard Invitational, while the champion of Split 2, running from May to August, will represent Oceania in the Wildcard Qualifier for a place at the World Championships.
