Before Premier, the seasonal competitive in-game VALORANT tournament system, launches in full in August, players will have one final opportunity to test out all the new features in the soon-to-launch Ignition stage. Unlike the global beta phase, players will not have all their progress erased.
The Ignition stage officially begins on July 11 with a one-week enrollment period, during which players will be able to form teams and enroll in skill divisions based on the combined MMR of the top five players on a team. This time around though, after Ignition ends on August 13, teams along with their match history and Premier MMR will carry over to the official stage one of Premier when it launches later in August.
