They are adding a brand-new competitive mode to the game with the intention of giving gamers more intense competition than what they are accustomed to in Ranked.

Valorant Premier Overview​

As was already mentioned, Premier is a new competitive mode in Valorant that will give players a considerably tougher challenge than Ranked. Riot intends to "provide an even greater goal than Radiant that provides the most competition-hungry players with a rewarding challenge beyond ranked." The mode is designed to be a new path to pro for players from the comfort of directly playing from their homes. Leo Faria, Head of Esports at Valorant, asserts that Premier "will be the way to the VCT Challengers leagues" in the future and will eventually take the place of the open qualifying process.

Who can play VALORANT Premier?​

The competitive mode has only been available in Brazil since November and is now in its Alpha stage. This indicates that a plethora of additional features are now missing from the mode and will be added in the upcoming days. With Premier, you or anybody else may create a team and participate in a season of pre-arranged matches. This implies that you are free to form a team out of your friends, neighbors, or anybody you choose, and compete against some of the top teams in your area for glory.
