Valorant LOCK//IN 2023 Finals: Teams, Dates & Where to Watch
In just two weeks, Valorant LOCK//IN has single-handedly whittled 32 competing teams down to 10, signalling the final few bouts for the throne that will occur between March 2nd and 4th.
On March 4th, São Paulo's Valorant LOCK//IN tournament will crown its reigning champions, which will result in a nifty $100,000 bounty out of the $500,000 grand total. Before this comes to pass, the event will see two drawn-out days of quarter-finals matches, which will see the four remaining teams battle it out for the final two spots on the bracket.
