The state of competitive Deadlock#
Deadlock is still an invite-only beta, and as of 27 Oct 2026 there’s no official Valve tournament circuit. Competitive play is run by the community, with regular events across regions.
Recurring community tournaments#
| Event | Region | Cadence |
|---|---|---|
| Deadlock Night Shift | North America and Europe (separate brackets) | Regular numbered events (past #40) |
| DLAP × General Cup | Asia-Pacific | Recurring cup |
Liquipedia’s Deadlock section is the best place for brackets, results and team rosters.
Taking part#
- Most community events run sign-ups through Discord or the organiser’s page.
- Check rank requirements, regions and whether substitutes are allowed.
- Play ranked with your team first — community events use the same game rules.
Where to watch#
Community tournaments are usually streamed on Twitch or YouTube by the organisers and casters. Follow the organiser’s channel for schedules.
