Pokémon has introduced that it has eliminated the Oceania Worldwide Championships from the 2024 Championship Sequence Season.
This implies Pokémon VGC, TCG and Go gamers inside Australia and New Zealand could have a tougher time attempting to high quality for Worlds.
Regional occasions, which is able to proceed, give fewer qualification factors than Internationals. Gamers could must journey to different international locations to get shut now. At the moment, solely three Regional occasions are introduced for Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth.
That is the assertion from Pokemon;
The Worldwide Championships had been launched within the 2017 season and had been designed across the sizes of our 4 main score zones on the time: Europe, Latin America, North America, and Oceania. Following the restructuring of the Oceania score zone in 2020, that area was break up into two smaller score zones: Asia-Pacific and the newly outlined Oceania score zone. Since then, we’ve got been assessing how we are able to finest serve our international participant base, and we’ve got made the troublesome choice to take away the Oceania Worldwide Championships from our circuit.
We are going to proceed to assist this score zone with Regional Championships (keep tuned for particulars), and gamers from this score zone are nonetheless eligible to earn journey assist to different Worldwide Championships and Worlds.
That is unlucky to see, and we’ll merely see much less Aussie and New Zealander gamers on the prime ranges now.
