VALORANT Champions Tour LOCK//IN 2023 full schedule

Riot Games officially introduced the format for the VALORANT Champions Tour LOCK//IN event in São Paulo today. It’s a three-week-long competition that kicks off both the 2023 VCT season and the first year of the partnership era.

The tournament will feature 32 teams in total: all 30 partnered teams from the Americas, EMEA, and Pacific international leagues, plus two teams invited to represent China. These 32 teams will be randomly drawn into a 32-team single-elimination bracket, one that maximizes “the possibility of inter-regional matches for the second round.” Each side of the bracket features five Americas teams, five EMEA teams, five Pacific teams, and one team from China.
