Would be cool if they did another event like it, we could see teams that usually don't go to internation events play against other teams from different regions. Thoughts? Myabe make it double elimination instead too, but that could make the event too long.

number2_cNed_fan [#2]I thought lock in was cool. I know people hate it for it being a single elim, but I think that just adds more to the suspense and fun of it. Every game is a life game and you have to give your all to every single game to win
Yeah we got to see matchups we probably never thought would have happened, like LOUD vs GENG, it was a cool matchup
number1_cned_hater [#3]Yeah we got to see matchups we probably never thought would have happened, like LOUD vs GENG, it was a cool matchup
Also KC vs FPX
Breloof [#4]Also KC vs FPX
greatest match up of all time, the meta completely shifted after this game, kc vs fpx walked, so loud vs fnc could run
Breloof [#4]Also KC vs FPX
Yeah those matchups were cool like TALON vs MIBR espeically cause they are least likely to go an international event
Problem is there's now 40 partnered teams, and 44 teams total in the leagues, which will go up to at 56 total in 2027. With 30 teams + 2 wild cards it was doable. With 56, you probably need to invite 8 extra teams and do 64 teams single elim, but that's a very big amount of hotel rooms, visas, etc, and would also double the amount of matches played in the tournament, even if you stick to single elim.
Lock//in was definitely a fun tourney to watch but I don't think it can happen again

Yeah I guess you are right about that, the cost for it would probably be too much, but if RIOT does deicide to do it again then it would be very entertaining

excited to see sh1n play again he went crazy that game
Asuna_Yuuki [#10]Nah bro
I don’t want to see garbage teams play
The good teams will just stomp the bad teams and it will be so boring
Waste of time and money
It's entertaining though, KC put up a fight against LOUD who would have thought that would happen, it's just entertaining to see cause anything can happen in valorant a bad team could beat a really good team

Nrg fans know a lot about "bad" teams beating "good" teams
Warlordwibz [#13]E-sports world cup at Saudi can make it happen (its org vs org not nationality), pre sure they want to hold the events at the end of year which is perfect. But won't have the egg casting unfortunately.
rip your sliggy points bro

agreed, imagine forcing people to see bili bili smashing small teams like NRG again.

loud vs geng was a banger

Buddy let me remind you everyone thought Bilibili was "garbage" and they stomped NRG

I thought ascension teams lose their slot after 2 years. So I don’t think it would be 56 teams in 2027
Aivi [#20]thats why i picked flc, i picked apeks last game, regretted it
bet against me = free sliggy pts

Yeah but then 2 teams are gonna be promoted. In the very big announcement at the end of 2022, Riot did say that the leagues were gonna expand until there are 14 teams per league. I'm gonna see if i can find the article
Yistyy [#26]This would never work in practice. lock in will always be remembered as a one time thing, unless riot changes everything in 2027 and it can be recreated.
Well I meant a tournament like lock in not exactly like locking, I just wanna see mid table teams play with other mid tables team play each other
Kryomeister [#28]Lock/in only can happen in country like brazil because is cheaper and no visa problems.
Yeah, it will be hard to arrange but if they did arrange it again would be entertaining as hell

I can see it happening in Turkey for similar reasoning.
