Players competing in VALORANT’s V25A3 Premier playoffs can now earn exclusive new rewards. The winners will receive a special player card effect to showcase their success. To earn it, you must play at least two weekly matches or one playoff match.

You’ll get this reward when V25A4 starts. Stay on your team until the playoffs end. Riot will also give out a gun buddy and a title to eligible players within 24 hours after playoffs finish.

Premier allows regular players to form teams and compete for a chance to qualify for the Challengers League. It’s a path to pro play for anyone who wants to compete seriously.

Riot has also made some updates in patch 10.11. Icebox is now disabled from Deathmatch and Escalation due to issues. A Finisher Cam is added to help clear visual clutter during skinline finishers.

A new map will be shown during the Masters Toronto Grand Final in a showmatch with streamers Tarik ‘tarik�?Celik and Jeremy ‘Disguised Toast�?Wang. This map will be in the competitive queue on day one and give players an RR bonus.

Leaks hint at a new agent, but Riot has not confirmed it. In 2025, major updates, including Unreal Engine 5 and a replay system, are planned.
