VCT adjusts LOCK//IN schedule as world champs deal with sickness

The VALORANT Champions Tour 2023 starts its first international event in São Paulo only a couple days from now, inviting 32 teams from all three major regions and two Chinese teams. Featuring a single-elimination bracket and a grand prize of winning an additional regional slot at Masters 2023, the stakes are high for each teams’ first VCT event.

The first day of the event would feature six teams playing in three matches, including the 2022 VCT Champions. Now representing the Americas, LOUD seeks to defend their title, but will have their inaugural match delayed due to multiple members reporting in sick, rendering them unable to field a full roster.
