This implies Pokémon VGC, TCG and Go gamers inside Australia and New Zealand can have a more difficult time attempting to high quality for Worlds.
Regional occasions, which is able to proceed, give fewer qualification factors than Internationals. Gamers could need to journey to different nations to get shut now. Presently, solely three Regional occasions are introduced for Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth.
That is the assertion from Pokemon;
The Worldwide Championships have been launched within the 2017 season and have 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 cut up into two smaller score zones: Asia-Pacific and the newly outlined Oceania score zone. Since then, we’ve been assessing how we will finest serve our world participant base, and we’ve made the tough 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 high ranges now.
