Red Bull Instalock VALORANT Tournament Returns to London

The Red Bull Instalock VALORANT invitational tournament welcomes the world's best Women's VALORANT teams back to the Red Bull Gaming Sphere in London, UK for 2025. For two days, May 2nd - 3rd, the Instalock's unique format will be taking over the Gaming Sphere, switching up the team compositions for an exciting tournament.

Each team must use three Duelists, VALORANT's offensive class, meaning regular strategies are thrown out the window. The tournament was first run last year and, thanks to its success, is back for another round in 2025. Instalock will be the biggest women's VALORANT Invitational LAN outside of Riot's own VCT: Game Changers series. 

The LAN tournament will also be broadcast live from the Red Bull Gaming Sphere in London, so fans will be able to catch the action as it happens live on Red Bull’s Twitch and YouTube channels. 

Aside from the best women's teams in VALORANT showcasing their skills, fans will also be treated to a Creator showmatch match, featuring ten of the biggest women’s VALORANT content creators battling it out for bragging rights. 

A full rundown of the participating teams, creators, and talent has yet to be announced, though more details will emerge soon.
