Much like 2021, VALORANT players in the Oceanic region will be able to compete for multiple opportunities to play on the international stage. The tournament, beginning January through to September, will run in two stages - Stage 1 and Stage 2. Each stage will end with a Regional Stage Finals, where teams will accumulate points based on their placements to earn their spot in the 2022 VALORANT Oceania Championship. The winning team after each Regional Stage Finals will be scoring a place overseas in the APAC Playoffs, with the chance to qualify for VALORANT Masters. For Stage 1, 6 teams from the Open Qualifier will join 2 directly invited teams in the Main Event.
