Valorant will be hosting a System Test or ‘Test Tournament’ on May 3, 2023. While participation is optional, players will be helping Riot in fixing the services for the Playoff Tournament at the end of Open Beta.
Teams who participate in the System Test will be playing best of ones and will have a consolation bracket. In addition to this, all teams will be eligible to take part in it.
Moreover, the tournament will not have an impact on teams’ standings, Premier Score, W/L record, or eligibility for the Playoff Tournament.
What are the Valorant Premier Rewards?
Hey Premier teams, we identified and fixed a bug where sometimes Premier rewards were not distributed after playing the first match.
Re-log in and you should see your rewards in your collection now. Thanks for letting us know.
