According to recent news, RIot Games revealed the VALORANT Invite Division. The upcoming Division will stand as the pinnacle of competition within VALORANT's in-game Premier Mode. Victorious teams in the Premier Invite can secure qualification for Challenger Leagues globally.

Rules for Premier is also revealed,

Promotion is granted to the team itself. The team owner or captain retains the ability to add or remove players without jeopardizing the promotion.
The promotion remains intact even if there are changes to the maximum number of players allowed on the team.
Teams have the potential to advance multiple divisions akin to rank progression.
Promotions are applicable solely for the subsequent stages. Failure to participate in the ensuing premier event will result in the team being reseeded.
The threshold for qualification in Playoffs is established at 600.

Riot also revealed structure changes,

Each team is required to participate in two scheduled events weekly, featuring the designated map of the week.
Losses will now yield zero points, in contrast to the previous system where losses awarded 25 points.
Teams with similar performance records will be pitted against each other, with rematch protection activated.
In the event of an uneven number of participating teams, the team with the lowest Premier Score will receive a bye rather than engaging in a match.
Playoff qualification will be determined by teams' standings following the conclusion of weekly competitions, deviating from the previous criterion of Premier Score.
Following the playoff tournaments, Premier will promote teams based on their final standings on the current stage's leaderboard.
