The UK's first-ever professional women’s esports tournament in 2024, Red Bull Instalock, has been announced. The event will bring together four of the world’s top women's Valorant teams i.e. G2 Gozen, GIANTX, Karmine Corp, and Shopify Rebellion, in London where they will battle against each other for the ultimate trophy and champions title.

Red Bull Instalock is scheduled to take place on April 20 and 21 and will challenge the teams to play with three duelists, promising a fast-paced and action-packed experience for viewers. The event will take place at the Red Bull Gaming Sphere, London’s leading gaming and esports venue, which will be transformed to replicate the "in-game atmosphere" of the Icebox map.

In addition to this, a showmatch hosted by Megan ‘Megsoundslikeegg’ Garner will also be held on April 21 before the Grand Final match begins as a treat for fans.

Here's what G2 Gozen Michaela "mimi" Lintrup has to say about Red Bull Instalock 2024:

“It’s fantastic to see another event for women’s VALORANT come into play and Red Bull Instalock is another amazing step into making a really lively competitive scene. It’s also going to be great for fans, with the format twist bringing a really exciting and new edge to every matchup.”

The event will be broadcast live on Red Bull’s Twitch and YouTube channels, with a stellar lineup of talent, including Yinsu Collins, Kieran “Kairo” Tulloch, Billie “BillieIDK” Purdie, Matt “Twiggy” Twigg, and Harry “Hazza” Chapman.
