What Is Valorant Premier?

Premier is Valorant’s new competitive mode that follows a tournament-style format. In this mode, you have the flexibility to assemble a team of up to seven players. That said, it is worth noting that only a maximum of five players can participate in each game. 

Once your team is registered, the game will place you in a division based on the MMR of the top 5 players and put you against other teams in the same division. In this mode, the Divisions are divided into five different groups from highest to lowest: Contender, Elite 1-5, Advanced 1-5, Intermediate 1-5, and Open 1-5.

How Is Valorant Premier Structured?

Once you register your team in the enrollment week, prepare for seven weeks of play. Each week, you can play two games, with both games on a single map. In Premier, you’ll be matched up against teams with a similar average rank as your own team, where each win will earn you 100 points, 25 for a loss, and no points if they do not play. Once a team successfully accumulates at least 675 points, they are guaranteed to qualify for the playoffs at the end of the season. This format is designed to filter out the eight best teams from a particular division, and pitting them against each other is an elimination tournament.

If you are lucky or skilled enough to win the Valorant Premier in your division, you’ll be rewarded with a unique title, gun buddy, and your team will be declared the division’s champion. That said, even if you don’t win the Premier, you can get a new player card by just participating and playing a single game of the Valorant Premier.

Valorant Premier Match Rules

With the release of Premier, a new competitive mode, Valorant has released new rules that are tailored to this game mode only. Here are all the important rules you must keep in mind before you hop in your first match with your friends:

Conclusion
