Sixteen players from all over the world are being gathered by Riot Games in order to celebrate the release of Teamfight Tactics Set 2: Rise of the Elements! During two days, they will compete in order to win $15,000 as well as a unique TFT jacket.
Currently tested on the PBE, this brand new update introducing new origins, new classes, new items, and 51 new champions is a complete overhaul of the game we know.
This tournament is one of the first of its kind, and it's surely announcing a bright future for Teamfight Tactics' competitive esports scene!
If you want to watch it, you just have to go either on LoL Esports Youtube or Riot Games Twitch.
Grab your popcorn, find a nice couch or seat, and see you on October 30 & 31 at 9 AM PDT!
TSM Keane WINS!
Even though Hafu, Rakin, Disguised Toast, and Holythoth managed to win one game, no one seemed actually capable of interrupting Keane's winning streak. At the outcome of seven games, he finally took the third win that he needed to prevail.
