VCT 2023 has been immensely fun to follow so far. The year started off with one of the biggest Valorant events, VCT LOCK//IN, where franchised teams from all over the world competed in a single elimination bracket to be crowned champions. Fnatic had one of the most incredible runs and staged an insane comeback against LOUD to win the event.
Later, every region had its own leagues where a round-robin format took place over the course of eight weeks which was then followed by Playoffs. The three teams: DRX, LOUD, and Fnatic were seemingly going for undefeated runs. However, Fnatic was the only one who managed to do so.
Jett has been one of the most picked Agents in these events, and as VCT Masters Tokyo gets closer, these pros will be key to making a big difference. Below is a list of five Jett players to look out for at VCT Masters Tokyo.
