The Fortnite Friday-esque event called TFT Thursday will bring together streamers and personalities in a brawl of epic proportions. The competition kicks off today with a $15,000 prize pool and will include 16 connoisseurs of the new autobattler.

This is the first official tournament for TFT, ahead of Twitch Rivals later this month. TFT Thursday will be commentated by Riot’s Sam “Kobe” Hartman-Kenzler and former analyst and TFT enthusiast Mark “TheeMarkZ” Zimmerman.

The prize for the event will be split into rounds. The winner of round one will win $650, while second place will receive $450, third gets $250, and fourth earns $150. The same goes for the following three rounds. The prize pool breakdown will increase, however. The winner of rounds two through four will earn $1,000, with second place getting $500, third winning $250, and fourth also getting $250.

The MVP of the tournament, which will be determined by a combination of good sportsmanship, entertainment, and participation, will be gifted subscriptions to their Twitch channel.
