NA’s “superteam” is out of VCT LOCK//IN after DRX make an incredible comeback
The alpha bracket continued today at VCT LOCK//IN in São Paulo with a heavyweight showdown between North America’s Cloud9 and Korea’s DRX. Both teams have long histories in VALORANT, and both carry the hopes of their region on their shoulders in 2023. With just six teams left on this side of the bracket heading into the game, things were coming down to the wire.
After a chaotic but fast match, DRX came out ahead with a 2-1 victory despite getting crushed on the opening map. Their resilience, synergy, and innovative strategies surfaced at just the time to send C9 home.
