Is LOCK//IN a major?

Yes. It was a major with a bad format. A badly structured major is still a major. It doesn’t take away the fact that FNATIC are the first team to win two “majors”, not to mention back-to-back.

VCT and Riot considers Lock/In a Val equivalent of a major....it doesn't matter what anybody else thinks imo....I mean it's Ur game and Ur tournament....so I'm sure I will not be the one to decide...which tournament is a major and which isn't.... people really like to cope tho.... it's hard for them to digest this

For sure, lock in was a tournament with a very poor format, although is the tournament with the most teams. Sure ppl will say since majority of the teams were new and bairly played together, but the same happened to fnatic. They added 2 new players aswell and did an incredible run and ppl still kept saying it was a lucky run, now with tokyo, ppl wont say that anymore. Now the teams and fans will fear fnatic on champions.

Tbh, in my opinion any international stage is a big major. Ppl will complain now but i see any masters the same as champions. Champions only have few extra teams with less quality. The pressure of any international event is the same, being champions or not.

Os pesadelos do lockin, depois de perder em terreno nacional. Percebo e boa sorte com os Loud na champions, eles teem muito mais para mostrar do que fizeram em Tokyo.

tbh winning lock in is more difficult. All it takes is one bad day and your out of the tournament

finally someone with a brain. To everyone that seems to be confused, yes it was a major, and it was harder because single elimination. Most CS tourneys are single elim in the end stages, why you all complaining?

I just want people to be consistent with their reasoning, I see people claim that lock//in is a major then I turn around and see those people say that masters are not majors and only champions are??? Please make up your minds vlr

Can't call it a major if literally everyone gets in for free. Or I guess congrats to KC, Kru, DFM, FPX, etc for a major appearance lol.

We shouldn’t even be comparing CS:GO and VALORANT terms in the first place. They’re two different games with two different formats.

Agreed. Lock in was an international event to celebrate franchising. Hope to never see it happen again though.
