Extra APAC slot?

#1

Apparently, Vietnam was told that they were only getting 2 slots into APAC VCT Challengers Stage 2, is there any announcement on which region the extra slot is being given to?

Would it be SA/ MYSG or even OCE mayb?

No reports as of now. I can confirm for now that OCE has only one slot, barring any further changes. Potential OCE, but no concrete evidence of so.

Where is the Vietnam report? Heard multiple rumours about 2nd OCE slot

I honestly want to wonder where that info (about -1 VN seed) coming from. I'll ask my own source but the 2nd OCE slot as far as I know (that's confirmed) is non-existent

I'm fully aware of that. But nothing is confirmed either way and dated 10 May, while this is dated 9 May and coming from the official news source. Regardless, I won't be surprised if anything could be subject to change.

this might be impossible, but what if the 2nd place kr and jp go to apac group stage?

dont like that idea tbh. I really enjoy having so much regional diversity at Valorant events, no need to give JP or KR an extra chance

I think it should technically go to OCE, as they've proven their 1st seed will dominate VN's 2nd seed but maybe not

Kr, jp having a direct slot to masters is already if not enough it's too much lol

Then if u want to make them have more slot then why not merge kr,jp as a one region and give them 3 slots?

It wouldnt work as APAC is ment for APAC South Circuit Points not APAC North which is for JP and KR.

nono, the Event is technically called "VCT Stage 2 APAC Playoffs" which is the "playoff for masters". I think they will have a Play-In Stage then Groups, then Knockouts for the Spot at Masters.
Refer to Stage 1's Playoffs. https://www.vlr.gg/event/884/champions-tour-asia-pacific-stage-1-challengers-playoffs
