Premier Beta Format
Enrollment for the beta mode has already begun and will end on April 28. Valorant team owners will be able to register their own teams and choose the mode they want to play in.
According to the schedule, players will play two matches in a week. The game’s played each week will be added to the team’s Premier Score, which will later reveal which team will make it to the Playoff Tournament.
The game’s queue will differ for each time zone, and players will get to know their time zone from the Premier tab. Riot, in order to prevent misuse of the available slots, has come up with an eligibility criteria for players to fulfill.
First off, players will have to complete SMS verification. In addition to that, each team will need to have a roster of five or seven players. If players don’t already have a team, they can make one to be a part of the Valorant Premier Open Beta.
