Lotus in Sao Paulo?

Will we see the pros play on lotus in the kickoff tournament or on the other maps only?

yes i suppose

good question. don't think they confirmed or denied yet

During Tixinha's live, one of the VCTBR commentators, he said that LOCK//IN will already have the new map rotation (-Bind & Breeze // +Lotus & Split)

I'm pretty sure it will be yeah

I hate when new maps are being played in tier 1 international tournaments. No one knows how to actually play the maps and no one knows how other regions/teams play it. Everyone just goes in with guessing and hoping that their preparation was the best. Its fun to see new maps in action ofc, but it just gives such big fluke element.

99% sure. Still quite a bit of time until the event, so might as well use the new map.

in the 100t valorant podcast on yt the players said that in ascention qualifiers it wont be , but in sao paulo the ne w maps rotation (lotus+new split) would be on

it would be really dumb if sao paulo was old patch

Thats why teams don’t play new maps

No time for practice

yes but that means that one of the teams must "waste" their ban or they leave it open and potentially suck on it because no one knows before the tournament.
