USOP Ambassador Kyle Bao Diep , a Vietnamese local player, emphasized that the event will be conducted fully within legal regulations, ensuring a smooth and secure experience for all players.


The series returns to Ha Long Bay for a second edition from August 27 to September 9, carrying the same guarantees and venue.

Season Finale Returns To Vietnam

After a brief return to Osaka for another championship series from October 2 to 6, the tour concludes with the USOP Grand Championship Vietnam from October 22 to November 4. Once again held in Ha Long Bay, the grand finale will feature a VND 160 billion prize pool.

The tour has built a reputation for exceeding expectations, consistently smashing its guaranteed prize pools, sometimes doubling or even tripling them. With strong high roller fields and a growing international player base, the 2026 season is expected to continue that trend.
