Riot Games
The premier yearly LAN event for TFT features a pool of 768 players in a semi-open format where players ranging from the best pros in the world to aspiring players in Masters meet up face-to-face to fight for the title of TFT Open Champion, this year for the first time in Europe.
The prize pool for the event is over $300,000 with a cool $100,000 going to first place alone with payouts extending all the way to the top 128.
As for the format, players will fight through three days of competition with players being eliminated to noted intervals. Day 1 will have the field go from 768 down to just 256. On Day 2, the surviving 256 will find themselves playing three games, after which the field will be cut in half, down to 128. From 128, the field will play in three more games before cutting in half once more to a Top 64, at which point the excitement truly begins.

For the first time, all eight players who will make the final lobby will have to first win their Top 64 lobby via checkmate format, which is usually only played during championship finals. This format is simple; players will race to 20 points to put themselves in check. Once a player in check wins a game, the lobby is done, and the winner is the victor. In this case, they will punch their ticket to Day 3, along with the seven other lobby winners.
Day 3 will once again be a checkmate format to determine the third-ever TFT Open Champion.
For players looking to get into the main event, the sign-up period is staggered by rank. Meaning that if you are a top player, you will have a better shot at making it into the event than someone that is below master.
Starting on Sunday September 7, Players that made it to the last world championship in Set 14 also known as the TFT Cyber City Tacticians Crown will be able to purchase passes first as well as players that are in the TFT Pro Circuit.
The following day on Monday, September 8, signups extend to players that hit Challenger before the August 31 snapshot. Following that on Tuesday September 9, any remaining passes will extend to Grandmasters and Masters. And if there are still passes available then on Wednesday September 10 passes will be open to everyone.
Join us in Paris for our grandest TFT Open yet, with 768 competitors, a $300k+ prize pool, exclusive merch and in-game rewards, and so much more.
