Introducing Tactician’s Gauntlet: Vegas Qualifiers

Update, September 9th: We've made the call to cancel Tactician's Gauntlet: Vegas Qualifiers this weekend. We didn't feel comfortable asking players to pay for a tournament given stability concerns.

• Players who purchased an entry will be reimbursed shortly.
• Competitor Passes originally included as rewards will move to the Competitor Pass Sale on September 22. Attendee Passes will be available during the General Sale.

TFT Vegas Open Format

Seeding

Players will be initially seeded based on their Enchanted Wilds ranking. These seeding snapshots will take place on October 6, 12:15AM 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). Points reset between each round and will only be used to break ties for advancement to the next round.

Schedule

We’ll bring together 1,024 players in an immense open-bracket competition across 3 days. Players will be split into pools of 8 for each round and will advance based upon the points they earn throughout each round. A detailed schedule can be found below:

Day 1 - Round 1
