The ONLY reason I would say its mickey mouse is that one half of the teams got WAY more time and prep than the other half, as they started after that brackets side was fully done

its the least micky mouse tournament.

fnatic dominate through single elim all the way until final

every single team in vct is there

they keep their high level dominating the rest of the year with top 2 in EMEA, Tokyo win and top 4 champs

loud also show high level dominating americas as top 1 and top 3 in champs

lowkey they shouldve kept lockin as first tournament of every season instead of kickoff + 8 team master

agree with everything but last point, it's a scheduling nightmare and also costs so much to host 32 if not 48 current teams across all 4 regions, it worked only becuase VCT CN didn't exist in 2023

To be fair tho regardless of how many teams participated, it was simply a Mickey mouse by the sheer fact that there were really only 4 or 5 "good" teams out of all 32 and really only fnatic who were exceptional.

It was an invitational single elim tournament.
The biggest mickey mouse of all time.

If lock in is an invitational, then literally every post franchise tourney is mickey mouse because only invited teams are there.
