Tactician’s Crown (TC)
Get ready for the ultimate test of skill in TFT Esports—the Tactician’s Crown! This elite competition brings together top players from each of our four pan-regions to determine the best of the best.
Starting with Set 12, Magic n’ Mayhem, we made some exciting changes to enhance regional representation. We added eight new slots, expanding the total number of competitors from 32 to 40. This includes two additional slots each for our largest regions, CN and APAC, offering more qualifying opportunities to players in those areas.
To further reward top-performing regions, the three highest-ranking pan-regions (based on average placement from the previous set) will each earn an extra slot, while the previous set's champion will automatically qualify if they play 200 games and reach Masters Rank by the final ladder snapshot. These extra spots bring our total competitor count to 40 for the TC.
For Set 13, the slot distribution was determined based on the results from Magic n’ Mayhem’s Tactician’s Crown:
APAC: 11
CN: 11
EMEA: 9
AMER: 9
