Some time ago Riot Games revealed its plans to introduce Premier, a new competetive system in Valorant. At first, the launch was planned for November. However, the recent Valorant developers insight video revealed that Premier's launch is just around the corner - on August 29th.
Valorant Premier is a new competitive game mode in Valorant that aims to provide a higher level of competition to players compared to Ranked.
It is a
tournament format hosted inside Valorant, where players can team up with friends
and compete against others.
Matches in
Premier use the same in-game rules as Competitive, but with a focus on top-tier
competition.
The party leader is responsible for locking in choices during map pick and ban, and getting the team into queue when ready to play a Premier match.
The mode
serves as a new path-to-pro mode, allowing players to build a five-person team
to compete in a more competitive environment than the traditional ranked mode.
