Glad to see the excitement around the next Agent news and tease but want to clarify two things: ✅️ We know the role for the 3rd Agent this year, just not sharing yet. ⛔️ The 3rd role is not a "new" role, like a bipedal tank or something. It's 1 of the 4 current ones.

A detail missing in this tweet is that if you have previously played in compet queue, but are not level 20, you can still play after 4.0 goes live.
Ranked Update | #VALORANT > To play in ranked you need to have your account level be 20+, instead of having 10 wins to unlock ranked.

Sat and Mon queue times count as week 1, and you can only play up to 2 matches per week. So, you can play 1 on each day, or both on one day—but once you play two matches, your team is done for that week.
Hey @JeffLanda If you played two matches in #ValorantPremierBeta today, are you able to que again on Monday?

In-game churro will still cost less than a Disneyland churro.
Okay, lots of VCT updates today and a break from the action as we give our teams a breather. Let's get serious for a sec. My last three team presentations have referenced the world's most perfect pastry, Churros. We also had a churro truck at our team townhall. Should we do this?
