ESEA Premier Season 23 for the Oceanic region has come to an end, with Athletico defeating Immunity 2-0 (16-11 de_cache, 16-7 de_nuke) in the Grand final, becoming the first team to qualify for the Mountain Dew League Global Challenge LAN Finals.

The eight team single-elimination playoffs finished earlier than expected, as three of the quarter-final matches were forfeited by AVANT, SYF and Incept, due to roster issues. This gave Athletico, Chiefs and Immunity free access to the semi-finals. The last quarter-final match was played between Exile5 and the Aussie-Kiwi Parallax team, which went in the way of Exile5 2-1 who managed to scoop the last two maps 16-14 narrowly.

On one side of the bracket, Athletico was pit against last season's winner Chiefs, who defeated them in the semi-final 2-1 under the ASDF name at the time. History did not repeat itself, as Athletico overcame Michael "⁠Lightstep⁠" Hall's side 2-0 convincingly, despite a close second map.

Switching over to the other semi-final, it went to all three maps with Exile5 taking Mirage 16-14 in the first map. Immunity stole the next map on Cobblestone in an overtime win, as Nikhil "⁠NikkeZ⁠" Victor's crew struggled to close the series 2-0 early when they had the lead. The showdown between the two was decided on Train, which progressed to quintuple overtime. James "⁠James⁠" Quinn' side survived the battle of endurance in the end with a 31-28 win, clinching the match 2-1.

With Connor "⁠chuch⁠" Morgan returning to the active line-up instead of the three month substitute in the form of Erdenetsogt "⁠erkaSt⁠" Gantulga, Athletico claimed another overseas trip, as they succeeded Immunity in the grand final with two straight maps.
