VALORANT, the popular first-person shooter game, is launching a new competitive mode that will provide dedicated teams with a chance to compete in a more challenging environment. The new mode, called Premier, is a tournament system designed for players who are seeking a more competitive experience than the traditional ranked mode. This article explores the Premier mode in detail, including its features, rules, and how to play it.
What is Valorant Premier Mode?
Premier mode is a new competitive game mode for VALORANT that offers a path-to-pro experience for players who want to build a five-person team and compete in a more challenging environment than the traditional ranked mode. Premier mode will eventually replace open qualifiers for VCT Challengers events and will become the entry point to professional VALORANT.
How to Play Valorant Premier Mode?
To play Premier mode, players must first verify their accounts via SMS verification, have an account that is in good standing with Riot, and have finished rank placements at least once during their account’s lifetime.
During a Premier season, teams will play up to weekly matches during the weekly queue window on a featured map. Teams earn 100 points for a win, 25 for a loss, and no points if they do not play. Teams with at least 375 points earned will qualify for the tournament at the end of a season.
Creating and Joining a Team In Premier Mode
Joining or creating a team in Premier mode is easy. Prior to the start of weekly matches during a season (or during the beta phase), there will be an enrollment period for players to form teams. Players can either create their own team of between five and seven players or join an existing team. If you miss enrollment, you cannot play during the season.
There are no rank restrictions for players on a team, and a team with players all at similar ranks or completely different ranks will be placed in a skill division based on the MMR of the top five players of a team. During enrollment, teams must also select their regional zone to compete in and will be given recommendations based on the lowest average server latency.
The Benefits of Valorant Premier Mode
Premier mode is an exciting new addition to VALORANT, providing dedicated teams with the ability to build a team and compete against similarly skilled opponents. With the point system and qualification for tournaments, Premier mode has the potential to become the go-to mode for teams who want a more challenging and competitive environment.
Who Can Play Valorant Premier Mode?
Premier mode is available for all VALORANT players who meet the requirements, including account verification, good standing, and completed rank placements. However, the mode is specifically designed for players who are seeking a more challenging and competitive experience than the traditional ranked mode.
When will the Valorant Premier Global Open Beta launch?
Premier mode is set to launch on April 25 and will be available to play until May 21 as part of the first global open beta phase. It is expected to become a permanent feature of VALORANT after the beta phase.
What are the Rules of Premier Mode?
Premier mode has specific rules for participation, including account verification, good standing, completed rank placements, and enrollment in a team during the enrollment period. Teams will play up to weekly matches during the weekly queue window on a featured map and earn points for wins, losses, and playing. Teams with at least 375 points earned will qualify for the tournament at the end of a season.
