Deadlock made its debut on the professional stage for the first time last night, on December 24th, at the VCT China Ascension tournament in a match between Ninjas In Pyjamas and KeepBest Gaming.

NIP player Eren, who chose Deadlock, delivered impressive performance, contributing to the team's victory in the match. He finished the game with a score of 19/10/3. Since its release in Valorant, Deadlock has never gained popularity, either in ranked matches or on the professional scene. This choice took everyone by surprise, especially the opposing team.

Deadlock is a controller-class agent released in March 2023, equipped with a unique set of abilities allowing her to control territory and deal damage to opponents. Despite her strengths, Deadlock has never been popular in the professional scene.

Deadlock's appearance in the VCT China Ascension tournament might open up opportunities for her future selection. Perhaps, as a result, other players will be inspired, and Deadlock may find her way into competitive scenes and matchmaking for a certain period.
