Valorant patch 7.08 official notes (March 5, 2024)

1) Modes Updates

• Added character portraits and minimap icons for Training Bots in the Range.

---

2) Premier Updates

A new Stage of Premier starts! Here’s what’s new:

• No more enrollment! You can make a team and start playing at any time in the Stage.
• Provisional divisions are shown immediately upon team creation, update whenever the roster or Zone changes, and are locked in once your team plays your first match of the Stage.
• Teams can change their Zone anytime before they play their first match of the Stage.
• Weekly matches now have rematch protection, so you won’t face the same team twice in a Stage (unless you’ve been in queue a long time).
• You can only play 2 matches per week, so no jumping between teams as a free agent within the same week.
• Standings show Playoff results once Playoffs start and lock in 48 hours after Playoffs end.

---

3) Esports Features

Masters Madrid is right around the corner, and we have a few updates for the Esports Hub:

• As Kickoff concludes and teams secure their place at Masters Madrid, the Global Events tab of the Hub will unlock, letting you explore participating teams, schedules and the new format.
• You can check out the Swiss Bracket page for Groups and watch teams qualify for the Playoffs.
