Riot Games revealed a new path to pro. Players via Riot's own ranking system will have a chance to qualify for pro events.

Riot Games stated,

• Starting with Episode 8 in January, Premier will begin to qualify players into the VALORANT Champions Tour
• Episode 8 is a transitional phase: Premier teams will require a ranked requirement of Immortal 3 or higher, alongside qualifying for Contender—the highest tier of Premier
• Specifics on the path to Challengers may vary by region.
