Since its release, VALORANT Premier has undergone multiple changes. Recently, we have seen some teams from various regions get an opportunity to qualify for their regional VALORANT Challengers League through this game mode. In this game mode, fans can make teams with players of their liking.
Below is the schedule for VALORANT Premier Episode 9 Act 1:
Each team will have to play two games in a given week. Teams must check their local time to know when their matches start every week. Everyone will be required to be present before the matches, as matchmaking queues open 15 minutes before the matches occur. There are new rules for rematch protection. Those teams will receive a bye if players don’t find a game. If teams lose their match, they will receive zero points for that week.
