Riot Games just shared new updates for its team-based competitive system, VALORANT Premier, officially launching alongside Episode 7 Act II on August 29. Players will be introduced to official divisions, weekly matches will now cover all 7 maps in the competitive pool, and players’ career history and results will be officially tracked from here on out. In the future, Premier will also connect with the VCT–you’ll see the first changes for this path to pro in early 2024.
In case you missed it, check out the latest video below:
HOW LONG IS A PREMIER STAGE?
- Stages generally last as long as an Act.
WILL ANYTHING TRANSFER FROM STAGE TO STAGE?
- Yes! Your Team, match history, and Premier MMR will carry over to the next Stage
- Your overall Premier performance will carry over in your Premier Crest, found on the Career page at the start of the next Stage
- Premier Score, Division, Zone, and Enrollment will NOT carry over between Stages
WHERE DO I FIND PREMIER IN THE CLIENT?
- Homepage navigation has Premier as an entry, second in the list under “Play”
- The main top navigation has Premier as an entry
- An explanation modal will pop up when you visit the Premier Hub for the first time
HOW DO I BECOME ELIGIBLE FOR PREMIER?
- You need to verify two conditions in order to be eligible to create or join a Premier team:
- Verify your identity account verification via SMS verification
- Establish your MMR by completing your ranked placements at any point in your account’s lifetime
- If you’re already eligible, you will automatically skip to the next step and just see the option to “CREATE A TEAM”
