Qualified teams for the Esports World Cup TFT tournament were pooled and drawn into four groups of four. Each group played out a best-of-three GSL double-elimination bracket, with the top two squads on wins progressing to the playoffs.

Points per match were distributed with the winner in each game earning eight points, second place earning seven, and so on. Tiebreakers were broken by most first-place finishes.

The playoffs then saw the remaining TFT teams continue the Bo3 format through a single-elimination bracket until the final two played a best-of-five for the trophy and the $200,000 main prize. The event’s MVP earned an additional $50,000. Here are the qualified teams for TFT at the Esports World Cup.
