‘Absolute s**t’: Pro VALORANT players and coaches slam VCT LOCK//IN São Paulo format

Riot Games’ format for VCT LOCK//IN São Paulo, the inaugural VALORANT event for partnered teams, has drawn criticism from professional players and coaches.

The 30 partnered teams in attendance plus Chinese teams EDward Gaming and FunPlus Phoenix ZHUQUE have been put in two groups with 16 teams each and Riot has gone for a single-elimination format to mitigate the number of matches throughout the three-week period of VCT LOCK//IN São Paulo. What’s really disappointed the pros, though, is that half of the teams will be knocked out of the event after losing their opening match in the Alpha and Omega groups.
