Tarik VS FRTTT VCT LOCK//IN Showmatch: What is known so far?

VCT LOCK//IN has already become the most successful and entertaining Valorant global tournament. It showcased 32 teams participating in incredible matchups. Players from all over the world displayed why the Valorant debate should not be concise to Americas and EMEA regions only.

After a long 3 week single elimination BO3 matches, Fnatic and Loud have managed to punch their ticket to the finals of VCT LOCK//IN. Both teams have dominated their respective groups. But now it is time that both of them lock horns in the grand finals of this epic tournament.

Fnatic has yet to lose a single map in the tournament. It means that they have whitewashed every team they faced in the tournament. On the other hand, Loud only lost 2 maps, that too against one of the strongest teams DRX.

To make this Grand final more interesting, Valorant announced the first-ever showmatch to take place in the Valorant esports tournament. The NA and Sentinel’s content creator Tarik ‘Tarik” Celik will go on a matchup against Brazilian streamer Leonardo ‘FRTTT” Braz. If you don’t know, Tarik is a former CS: GO pro who has won 7 S-tier CS: GO titles and one major title.

FRTTT is a content creator for Team Liquid’s Brazilian division. He has over 433K Twitch followers and streams a variety of content. But the most important about this match is that both Tarik and FRTTT will play as the new agent, Gekko. Gekko is the 22nd agent and 6th initiator in Valorant.

Here are the details for the upcoming Tarik Vs FRTTT match in VCT LOCK//IN.
