The first VCT event of the 2023 season finally has a name and date.

VCT LOCK//IN Brazil will see 30 partnered teams from the three international leagues converge in São Paulo for the biggest Valorant LAN event to date.

Now that the dust from the offseason roster mania has settled, all eyes will be watching to see who the winner of the offseason was. With several championship-winning rosters splitting up and organizations rebuilding with new superstars, the competitive landscape has been completely remade.

Here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming event in Brazil.

VCT Lock/In Brazil is the first event of the 2023 VCT and will feature every partnered team from the Americas, Pacific, and EMEA VCT leagues.

Teams will compete at the 11,000-seat Ginásio do Ibirapuera indoor sporting arena in front of a live audience throughout the event. The winner will earn their league an extra slot at VCT Masters 2023.

Once the tournament concludes, the first competitive split of the 2023 season will kick off with weekly LAN competition in the Americas, Pacific, and EMEA regions.
