But before the much-anticipated mano a mano, Riot Games has planned some sweet surprises for the fans. 

Here are three major reasons why you need to tune into the VCT LOCK//IN grand finals stream.

Riot Games announced an exhilarating showmatch featuring two of the best content creators. This Valorant showmatch will feature North American content creator Tarik “tarik” Celik and Brazilian streamer Leonardo “frttt” Braz alongside their chosen teammates.

Valorant’s new agent reveal 

Valorant players are also excited to see what Riot Games has in store for them in terms of new releases, be it cosmetics, maps, or agents. The last agent released in Valorant was Harbor and he made it onto the live servers on 18th October 2022. This Indian agent is a controller in the game who has the ability to bend and use water as per his will.

Ahead of the official reveal of Agent 22 during the VCT LOCK//IN showmatch on the grand finals day, Riot Games has been posting teasers on its social media, giving players insight into the story behind the upcoming agent.
