Valorant is bringing a new competitive game mode to its roster and it's called Premier. In a developer video recently shared on the official Youtube channel for the game, this was revealed.
As a premier version of the usual competitive space, it gives players more incentive to grind and rise. Players can now reach new heights, something that they weren't able to do before.
It's also great for players that think the Valorant ranked system is boring, and need a little more of competition.
The game mode has been in its alpha stage for a while now. But, further updates straight from the developers have told us a bit more.
So, let's look at the details of what Valorant Premier is and how it works for all of the community.
What is Valorant Premier?
Premier is the brand-new game mode in the competitive space which lets players rise to a higher competitive level.
Riot Games have developed this to ensure that players can experience something close to professional play.
It's perfect for players that have a very competitive nature and strive for a more "professional" environment. An environment where the gameplay is much closer to the professional scene than the one we find in ranked games.
This new mode can help many talented players enter the professional scene. Hopefully, it will be used as a new way to access esports teams.
When Will Valorant Premier Release?
Valorant Premier went live on 25 April, and fans have been loving the new game mode.
It has allowed fans to sharpen their skills against other talented players. Players also got a little taste of what competitive Valorant is all about. The weight of losses, and the happiness in victories.
With the opportunity to earn great prizes and recognition from fellow players, no one wants to lose.
