Bring on the Misericórdia.
To celebrate the upcoming VALORANT LOCK//IN São Paulo, Riot Games has introduced a brand new, limited-edition and exclusive capsule collection. It will be available for purchase come February 8, five days before the start of the first 30-team franchised VCT event of the year.
It will be available until March 7 and it will feature the brand new Misericórdia melee knife, which will come in four colours. This is so you can represent your region with VCT Americas in green, VCT Pacific in blue, and VCT EMEA in purple. As for the red colourway, that is to represent the VALORANT Champions Tour.
Part of the capsule will also be player cards sharing the same colour schemes as the Misericórdia for you to further showcase your love for your region. Lastly, there is also the exclusive VCT LOCK//IN "VAMOS!" holospray featuring Brazilian hero, Raze.
And with every purchase of the capsule collection, 50 per cent will go to Riot Games with the rest being shared across the 30 franchised teams that will be participating at the VCT LOCK//IN. This is to kickstart the inaugural 2023 season for the VCT with its first-ever franchised league tournament.
The VCT LOCK//IN will feature 10 partnered teams from Americas, EMEA, and the Pacific alongside two Chinese teams, EDward Gaming and FunPlus ZHUQUE. These 32 teams will fight for the top spot of claiming the LOCK//IN championship as well as a lion's share of the 500,000 USD prize pool, which will take place from February 14 to March 4.
