Valorant Premier is the brand new ranked mode launching alongside the latest patch: Valorant Episode 6 Act 3, which promises to take players to the next level by going 'beyond radiant'.
Valorant Premier is the latest competitive mode, it's a team based ranked mode which promises to take players from their bedrooms, all the way to the top of the Valorant pro scene, by offering in-game leagues that advance to the Valorant Champion Tour’s Challenger leagues. The mode was first announced back in October 2022 on the Valorant website – before going into an alpha in specific territories – and has now launched into an open beta alongside the release of Valorant Episode 6 Act 3.
To participate in Valorant Premier you'll need a team of five people, once your squad is set up you'll compete in two weekly matches at specific times. These matches are played on specific maps with specific rules each week. Teams will earn 100 points per win, 25 points per loss, with teams who earn at least 375 points over the season advancing to the Valorant Premier playoff tournament. The schedule for the open beta is played over 4 weeks with two matches a week for the first three, with one final match and the playoff tournament in the fourth, it's unclear if this monthly season will be standard or if it's just for the beta however.
