VCT Lock-In 2021: Start the Year with the Biggest Valorant Tournament Yet - 3 Spanish Teams Competing

On February 13 at 18:00 Spanish peninsular time, the largest Valorant competition made in history with the dispute of the VCT Lock // in. In it, the 30 teams that participate in the three franchise leagues plus two extra guests from China will be measured, which will fight for the 500,000 euros of Prize Pool, plus an extra square for their region in the Masters. In terms of awards, in addition to the set award, 50% of the net profit of the collection that Riot has made on the occasion of the tournament and that is in the Valorant store, composed of a knife and several stickers and graffiti will be given To support your region in this first tournament of the year.

How does the lock // in format work?

All the qualifiers, except the semifinals and final (which will be played for the best of five maps), will be the best of three. To do this, the organization has decided to divide the tables of the competition in Alpha and Omega. First, the Alpha will play, until two teams are left, and the next week the Omega. On March 2, the semifinals will be played, and the four will be issued who the winner is. The three Spanish teams are on the same side of the painting, the Alpha. To win their first game, Giants and KOI could be measured in the second round, while Heretics is at the bottom, so we would have to wait several rounds and victories so that a duel with these two could be given. For a tournament of such caliber, this format has been criticized, since if you lose a tie, you stay out of this Lock // in. You will go home, and you will have to work to improve the image of the equipment for the start of the franchised leagues, which will start weeks later. And as an image, in this case video, it is usually worth more than a thousand words, we leave you the summary made by Apache, LVP analyst of the shooter for the official Valorant channel in the various social networks.

When do Spanish teams play, and what will be your rivals to beat?

These are the schedules of the three Spanish representatives:

Team Heretics

  • If they pass from Ronda, the winner of the Made in Brazil vs. would be measured. Talon Esports and the next round game would be 18 at 9:00 p.m. Spanish peninsular As for rivals to beat, for the moment there is no clear criterion of who will carry the singing voice in the tournament, and almost always the favorite premise has not been the one that has ended up carrying the trophy.

In spite of this, you have to put labels to the sets and seeing players and opinions of the community, Fanatic, Navy or Team Liquid are several of the teams to beat. Outside the European territory, Dr, NRG the rival of KOI, and Leviathan, who has formed a very solid team and will become Latin hope.

Maxwell, Koldemanta and Fitch, the Spanish representation within the server

This will be an important tournament for Maxwell, since it faces the final stretch of your career. As he has repeated by active and passive, Heretics will be the last team in his career as a professional and will seek to give the maximum with a team with many faces known as ANOVA or Keloid. The Spanish will return to a role in which he was with the young Frenchman in G2 ESports and will be Flex, both with Viper, with Sage or Killjoy Fitch will have the golden opportunity to demonstrate its great level in Europe.

Kaquka

In this 2023 he will have the role of duelist and will be the player who will use the OP in the situations that the structure of Malaga needs it. Jet twill play mainly, although you can get other champions such as Raze. Koldemanta is also another of the veterans of the scene and with great knowledge within the game. In principle, the Segovia will make Ill's role in the team, although several of his teammates could also perform this work. The KOI player will exercise the work of Smoker, dominating Brimstone, Astra, Viper or Omar perfectly and even being able to get other characters such as NOVA.
