To celebrate launch, we’re teaming with competitive FPS creators to hold a global tournament and crown 1 winning team from each region. Up for grabs is a $200,000 prize pool and the right to count themselves among the first global VALORANT champs. riot.com/2ZGjQqq

Drops are ending, as are all purchases in the Closed Beta store. And… Closed Beta thereafter. Let’s talk about the end of the world and the welcoming of a new one -- some basic things you need to know about the final days of the VALORANT Closed Beta: riot.com/2WTQROb

Now that we’ve shared a launch date, you’re probably wondering… are we ready? @RiotSuperCakes and @RiotZiegler talk through servers, anti-cheat, tools to fight disruptive behavior, and more. Learn more about what to expect from us at launch and beyond: riot.com/2Zw7roS

It's @RiotSuperCakes and @RiotZiegler back with an important update on the future of VALORANT.

Mix this with movement inaccuracy changes and it being hard to tell between body/headshots with sparks (also blood accidentally being disabled) -- we hit a perfect storm of issues. Chasing down all of these things now.
1162
Big thanks for the reports/videos you shared around hit registration feeling off. We found and are fixing a number of issues that compounded this, with the biggest being an actual hit registration bug that impacts low FPS players harder (it's a desync related to in-game FPS)

Tomorrow, May 19, at 4:30AM PT, NA/Brazil/LATAM will go offline for some server maintenance. Back up at 10AM PT.
On May 20, KR will be down at at 4:30AM KST (local time) for the same maintenance, back up at 10AM KST.
1164
We saw healthy ranked queues over the weekend for Korea, Brazil, and LATAM, so we will be leaving them on for the rest of Closed Beta!* (as long as they continue to stay healthy)

VALORANT's premium content team is here to talk about the sweet spot between bringing your weapon skin fantasies to life and maintaining competitive integrity. Read all about it: riot.com/2Tj2bkJ

May 15: a weekend of ranked is coming for LATAM, KR, and BR.
KR @ 9AM KST
LATAM @ 9AM CST
BR @ 11AM BRT
Queues will end on May 19 at the same time they start as we evaluate server stability. Be sure to play 20 unranked games before!
1167
We're shipping a change that increases penalties for AFKs, which include longer queue restrictions for folks to AFK for multiple rounds. We'll keep an eye on these restrictions when there's service instability, but please commit to the games you queue up for.
1168
This one’s a long one, but it’s also what you’ve been asking about: strafe shooting and peeker’s advantage, why no solo solo queue?, and more (always more!) Vanguard updates. Let’s get into it. riot.com/3bouPqJ

Beefy new patch incoming! We're making updates to credit cap, adjusting ability costs, and balance updates for most Agents and weapons: riot.com/2ySgghX

Beginning tomorrow, May 12, all servers will be going down for our next patch.
NA/BR/LATAM - Queues down @ 4:30am PT, back up at 10:00am PT.
KR - Queues down @ 12:00pm PT, back up at 5:30pm PT
EU - Queues down @ 6:30pm PT, back up at 12:00am PT (May 13).
1172
In an hour we're shipping a hotfix for Vanguard to +up its compatibility with cheat-vulnerable drivers. Most of the previously blocked drivers should now work. Some egregious ones will cause the game not to start but now very few will be blocked outright. Thanks for the feedback.
