If you ask yourself when the Valorant Open Beta date will be announced I think we are still a few months away before this will happen. Also the Open Beta for Valorant will most likely be way shorter as a time span that the Close Beta, probably will run a weekend or for one week or something like that. The reason for this is because an Open Beta is usually a server stress test mostly, not a bug fixing event primarily.
If the game will be release around late July or mid August, then the Valorant Open Beta should be one or two weeks before those dates. It is way more profitable and a marketing hit to extend the close beta as much as possible because beside the lots of bug fixes during this time and further polishing of the game, they will also get huge amount of free advertising via Twitch streamers, which now flooded Twitch with over five hundred thousand simultaneous viewers..
When Open Beta date will be announced, everybody will know they will get the game guaranteed anyway, so the Twitch viewers which are just for the keys will drop significantly. This being said, I wat to point out that marketing strategy via Twitch drops is literally a genius move to advertise the game and in the same time forcing the new players to learn the basics of the game before even play
