Format for the Valorant Premier Global Open Beta

The Premier Global Open Beta has two sections, the weekly matches and the playoff tournaments. Riot has also introduced the map pick-and-ban system that was very widely known in Counter Strike’s Faceit matches. The map Pick-and-ban system is a system that allows two teams to vote alternatively until the one of their choice is selected. The one’s who pick the second in the map pick-and-ban will be allowed to choose between attackers or defenders.

Teams that have a minimum of five members and are fully eligible for the Open Beta will get to play pre-scheduled matches weekly with each match awarding player 100 points for a win and 25 points for a loss. When a team reaches the threshold of 375 points, that team qualifies for the play off tournaments. All teams that have been qualified for the tournament will be sorted out into brackets containing 8 teams with one of them winning the bracket and being named winners.
