Competition updates
- You can now select your preferred server(s), increasing the chance you will play on a server you want.
- Rank disparity for parties capped at 3 tiers (from 6).
- Immortal+ ranked changes will only be impacted by winning and losing and the decisiveness of the game outcome (how many rounds won or lost by) and not factor individual performance into the calculation.

Get ready to experience Icebox from the start of Act 3 of Valorant. The map seems to be in a cold region and gives pride of place to verticality.
