Perfect World Oceania League Fall set to start

Oceania's final Regional Major Ranking event of the year will begin on Wednesday, September 2.

The tournament will act as the second — and last, barring changes to the current cycle — in the Oceanic region to offer points towards the Regional Major Ranking, which will determine one team advancing to ESL One: Rio with the status of a Contender.

Perfect World Oceania League Fall will run a double elimination, best-of-three bracket, which will kick off with the opening round of the upper bracket on Wednesday, September 2 and run until Sunday, September 6.

Having dominated the region over the last few months with five consecutive titles and a 22-2 record in matches dating back to March, Renegades head into the event as the overwhelming favorite and as the team with the most points (1,600) in the ranking following their triumph in ESL One: Road to Rio in May.

ORDER follow closely behind in the ranking with 1,500 points as one of just two teams to have been able to beat the region's No. 1 team in the past six months, while Ground Zero is the only other squad with any points to their name, trailing behind the aforementioned duo at 780 points.

The prizepool and points distribution for Perfect World Oceania League Fall looks as follows:

1. $12,500 + 2,500 RMR points
2. $10,000 + 2,344 RMR points
3. $7,500 + 2,188 RMR points
4. $6,000 + 2,031 RMR points
5-6. $4,500
7-8. $2,500
