LOCK//IN São Paulo: vs KRÜ Esports
Tomorrow (February 22nd) is the first match for NAVI VALORANT at the VCT 2023: LOCK//IN São Paulo. The battle against KRÜ Esports will be held at 22:00 Kyiv time in the best-of-3 format.
NAVI players, when still being a part of FunPlus Phoenix, played against KRÜ Esports at the VALORANT Champions 2022 tournament last September and won with a score of 2 : 1. Since then, the Argentinian team has reshuffled: only Klaus and NagZ remained from the old roster. The updated KRÜ Esports roster took part in the Red Bull Home Ground #3 tournament, where they took 3rd-4th place, losing to Cloud9.
Recall that LOCK//IN will be held in three stages. Matches in the Alpha group were played from February 13th to 19th: LOUD and DRX advanced to the semi-finals of the tournament. And tomorrow begin the Omega group matches. They will run through February 27th and on March 3rd the final stage of the tournament awaits us. 32 of the best teams in the world are competing for a $500,000 prize pool.
