PREMIER NEWS
So far this year, Premier has made incredible strides in just a few short months. As we look to wrap up February 2021, let’s take a look at everything that has happened so far at Premier!
Premier Esports 2021
Esports is and always will be a cornerstone to the identity and direction of the organization. Since the beginning of 2021, we have made great progress as an organization and really shined in this area. Since January Premier has landed signatures of a new 5 man Valorant roster and coach, 1 North American Fortnite Player, 1 Content Creator and Esports Chess Player and 1 Top ranked collegiate Rocket League player and there’s no sign of slowing down.
Valorant
In early January we announced a new roster for the Riot IP Valorant.
The roster consisted of returning captain Jeff Days, Tyguy, Kev, Pync, and Alien Joe. The roster is coached by Marc aka Heavenly and managed by Logan Ewing.
We are looking forward to the upcoming tournaments within Valorant. The team has competed in 7 tournaments such as the Nerd Street Gaming VCS open qualifiers, Vanguard Championship Series, since January taking home the win in the Vaughan Esports Valorant tournament, MSI Gaming Arena and MGA Valorant Tournament. Premier has competed against some top competition consistently against the top teams in North America.

Purrsftw FNCS
In early February we penned a signature from 17 year old talent Hunter “Purrsftw”. Hunter is the first North American Fortnite player to sign for Premier and compete for our organization.
Purrsftw is a top ranked Fortnite player ranked in the mid 600’s within NA east and we couldn’t be more thrilled about working with this bright talent.

Rocket League
Kade “Kadeuh ” Muehr – is Premier’s 3rd signing of 2021 and the first ever Rocket League player signed to the organization. Kade is ranked within the top 100 players in Trios globally and also is on scholarship at Illinois Wesleyan University.
Kade is quite the unique talent due to his high level of play using a mouse and keyboard which is not the typical meta used by other players at his level. We are excited for everything Kade and Premier will accomplish together and we couldn’t be happier to be entering into a new IP as an organization. Welcome Home Kade!
Team Fight Tactics
Both of Premier’s Team Fight Tactics players Andross Jay and
Jackson “PapaLev” Levetan qualified for their respective spots in Season 2 of Legends Team Fight Tactics along with 16 other Masters and Grand Master ranked TFT players from across the globe.

During Episode two hosts, DanPDFD and Bossy along with guest content creators K4BLE and Cupcake entertained the stream with their monthly Premier Show.
The Premier show is centered around chat engagement and interaction. The viewers assist in making decisions that impact the outcome of the show.
Community Nights: We relaunched the weekly Community Night Schedule with one word in mind, Community. Each week 1 of our signed content creators, players or managers host the Premier live stream.
These special sessions also provide an opportunity for a Premier Rising Stream Team member to host a game night alongside one of our official content creators!
The live streams are held on the Premier Twitch page on www.Twitch.tv/premiergg.
The Idea is to cross integrate our community to allow newer creators the chance to learn and hangout with our official team for a night of fun games and a relaxed no pressure atmosphere. The games played range from Call of Duty, Rocket League, Apex Legends, and more. Join us next week
