As of current VALORANT matchmaking rules, a Gold 1 player can play with Plat 2-3 players if they are in a pre-made party. The maximum rank disparity allowed for players in a party is typically within 2 ranks. Therefore, a Gold 1 player can match with up to Platinum 1 players in Competitive mode. However, due to matchmaking nuances and potential changes in future updates, make sure to check the latest guidelines in the official Riot Games sources or patch notes for the most up-to-date information.
