Riot Games, the developer of VALORANT, has announced the global open beta launch of Premier, the in-game seasonal competitive tournament mode, on April 25, 2023. Premier will coincide with the start of Episode Six, Act Three, and the full launch is scheduled for August 2023, after the conclusion of VCT Champions 2023, the official world championship for VALORANT. Here’s everything you need to know about Premier.
How to Enroll in Valorant Premier’s Open Beta
During the beta phase, players can enroll in teams of five to seven and select a regional zone to compete in based on their location. To join a Premier team, players must verify their accounts through SMS verification, be in good standing, and have finished ranked placements at least once.
Regional Skill Divisions in Premier
Teams in the same region will be divided into different skill divisions based on their MMR threshold, with weekly matches running from April 29 to May 20. Teams can queue at any point during the weekly window and will earn points for a win, a loss, or not playing at all.
Valorant Premier Mode Beta End Date:
The beta will conclude in late May, with an additional beta phase in July before the full launch of Premier in August. At the end of the weekly matches period, teams with at least 375 points earned will qualify for the tournament at the end of the beta. The tournament will use a map pick-and-ban system, and winners will receive a unique Premier open beta champion title and player card.
Important Note for Beta Participants
It’s important to note that while players will earn a beta participation title and player card just for playing a single Premier match during the open beta, the match and team history will not transfer over to the full launch.
Path-to-Pro Starting Point in VALORANT’s Competitive Scene
With Premier being the official path-to-pro starting point in VALORANT’s competitive scene, this new mode will undoubtedly be a game-changer for aspiring professional players.
