Game Updates

Last year, we brought the second annual TFT Open to Macao where over 500 competitors and 1,000+ spectators gathered at the Venetian Macao for the biggest TFT event of the year. In an unforgettable run, Shiquz (CN) claimed the TFT Macao Open Championship title, earning the Tactician’s Belt and the $100K grand prize! Check out our recap video to relive the hype:

This year, the excitement continues as we take the TFT Open to Paris, France from December 12–14. Set in one of EMEA’s most iconic cities, the competition will bring together over 700 competitors from around the world and thousands of spectators for a weekend of high-stakes gameplay, community events, and a major celebration of all things TFT!

Event Information

The event will be held at the Paris Expo Porte de Versailles in Paris, France!

There will be multiple ways to play TFT at the Paris Open including the Main Event and a variety of Side Events.

Main Event

The Main Event will feature 768 competitors entering the open-bracket LAN tournament on Day 1 and only one player winning it all on Day 3! Players will compete on Set 16, which will launch shortly before the event kicks off. The seeding, point system, and format can be found below.

Side Events

Players and Spectators who are not actively participating in the Main Event will have opportunities to enter into a variety of Side Events starting on Day 2! Free game stations will be converted to accommodate casual play and tournament modes. Tournament modes will include 4v4 and Double Up formats. Casual play will include classic TFT and “carnival-style” modes such as Tocker’s Trials, Carousel of Chaos, Mastermind, and Double Up Normals. More information on the modes and Side Event format can be found in the official rulebook here.

Main Event Format

Seeding

Players will initially be seeded based on their K.O. Coliseum ranking. Initial seeding snapshots will take place on September 30, 12:15 AM Local Time. After Round 1, players will be seeded via snake draft based upon the points they earn throughout the tournament.

Point System

Throughout the tournament, points will be awarded to each player based on the results of each game: 8/7/6/5/4/3/2/1 (ie: first place wins 8 points, eighth place wins 1 point).

Schedule

The Main Event will be a 768 player competition with a total of five rounds across 3 days. Players will be split into pools of 8 players prior to each round. Players will advance based upon the points they earn throughout each round. A detailed description of each round is provided below:

  • Day 1 Format
    • 768 Players will be split into three groups of 256 with 32 Lobbies in each group. Each group will compete in 4 games.
    • Players will initially be seeded into their lobbies based upon their K.O. Coliseum Ranking.
    • After 4 games, the Top 2 Players of each Lobby (192 total) based on points earned from all 4 games across Round 1 will progress to Round 2. In addition, the top 64 remaining players by total tournament points will progress to Round 2. The bottom 512 players by points will be eliminated.
