It takes a huge amount of time and effort in organizing a huge international event and you say offseason? think before you speak next time

Kirya [#4]

It also takes a huge amount of time and effort organizing off season events what’s ur point?

Will never happen again, way too expensive, and I don't even know if logistically possible. There's 48 Franchised teams now man

16 teams Champs > 12 teams Masters > 36 teams Lock//In > 8 teams mickey mouse bullshit

oh shit its 48 now? lol yeah that is a lot

How about instead of Kick Off we have Lock In where the top 8 teams literally lock their places for Bangkok? I swear everybody is tired of watching the same IL matches every other day

his point is that who tf would organise a 48 team off season tournament with all the franchised teams

better than a 8 team masters and more exciting ^ and that too. with that time and effort spent, lock//in would be better than a mickey mouse masters is my point.

donkkomong [#20]

oh shit its 48 now? lol yeah that is a lot

yup, at that time there were 3 leagues and no ascension teams. They invited 2 Chinese teams to make it 32. Now it's 4 leagues with 2 ascended teams each, 48

Biggest Mickey Mouse tournament of all time

donkkomong [#8]

He is a baiter, from the weak ones.

Anyways, i tink we should host a lock in at India or Mexico.
Lock in is a chance to "smaller" regions had they own tournoment.

48 team lan is way too expensive

yea 48 is tough. unless Riot got the big balls to make it happen but it'll take a lot of time and work for sure. I think it'd improve a shitload of viewership and popularity though if they pull it off + the new ascension teams coming right in from the start will also make it exciting as well. just a thought.

Diebs [#28]

48 team lan is way too expensive

yeah I agree. Riot Val rich as fuck though if they can make that happen, huge respect.

Kirya [#16]

neck it whoever is copy pasting my message just because my shit lagged
xd...

single elim balls to the wall tournament is actually a really fun (and expensive) idea.
People will say it's 'mickey mouse' or whatever from a quality of gameplay standpoint, but as a viewer it was one of the most enjoyable events imo

YES

stfu ur crowd is disrespectful

Every game was high stakes, it was fun

Yeah 48 is too much but they still can do a 32 tournament by sending top 8 form each league, they just have to figure a way to get the top 8.

Zinnezine [#37]

Yep

I was literally about to post the same thing right now, but you already did.
Great minds think alike

I know lock//in was hated by the coaches at the time because it was single elim but it was so hype. I miss it and starting off the season with an international like that with everybody was so fun.

Do it so we have more chances for it to be seen!
It honestly is a great idea, for both the viewers and for the teams since they'll have fun competing and the newer pros/teams will have a good experience as well.
+Attract more viewership and hype and fame and Valorant can takeover CS2 (Respect to CS2, just business)

They may do this for 2026 or 2027 so there's hope guys. Bump the thread up please!
