Teamfight Tactics

OUR ECOSYSTEM

The global ecosystem is divided into four regions: Americas, Asia Pacific (APAC), China (CN), and Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA). Throughout each set, players compete in a series of events in their respective regional circuits with the ultimate hope of earning a slot in the Tactician’s Crown.

Americas, APAC & EMEA 

Ladder Snapshots: Players can advance through their region's Ranked Ladder to qualify directly for Tactician’s Cups and Golden Spatula, providing a pathway to competitive success.

Tactician Trials: These regional 2-day competitions bring together the top players from ranked ladder with the best players progressing to the Tactician’s Cups.

Tactician’s Cups: Three Cups per set, each lasting three days.The winner of each individual Cup secures an automatic qualification to the Golden Spatula (Regional Finals). For all other participants, qualification is determined by a consolidated points system: players earn points based on their final placements in each Cup, and the highest-ranking players across all three events will advance to the Golden Spatula based on their total accumulated points.

Golden Spatula (Regional Finals): The pinnacle of regional competition, where the top 32 players from each region’s Tactician’s Cups and Ranked Ladders battle it out not only for qualification to the Tactician’s Crown, but also for the prestigious title of Regional Champion!

Check out TFT Americas Esports,  TFT APAC Esports, and TFT EMEA Esports to explore the opportunities to compete in these regions. 

China

The competitive TFT scene in China operates a little differently with two circuits leading up to the China Regional Finals. The TFT Open Championship will showcase the PC version of TFT, while the JCC Open Championship will feature the mobile game Fight for the Golden Spatula. These tournaments will determine China’s representatives who will battle it out at the Tactician’s Crown. 

Coming Soon: TFT Pro Circuit

TFT’s regional competitions have long been the proving ground for the game’s most elite players. Starting in Set 15, we’ll introduce a new competitive layer—the Pro TFT Competitive Circuit—creating a tiered structure across each region. This addition will help more aspiring tacticians rise through Tacticians Trials and Cups, and it will also showcase up-and-coming talents within the TFT ecosystem.

Tactician’s Crown (TC)

The Tactician’s Crown remains the pinnacle of TFT competition. Players battle through regional level events throughout each Set, with the goal of earning a spot in the Tactician’s Crown - the ultimate showdown featuring the world’s 40 best players. There are 3 Tactician’s Crown events per year.

TFT Open

TFT’s Flagship Community event, the TFT Open, takes place in a different host city at the end of each year and brings together the global TFT community as hundreds of players compete in an intense open-bracket LAN tournament.

Looking ahead, the 2025 TFT Open will take place in Paris, scheduled for December 2025.  More details will be shared here and  @competetft on X as the 2025 season progresses.
