Big changes were applied to the competitive Teamfight Tactics scene for Set 11, featuring a new roadmap for the North American region.
The esports scene in TFT is changing heading into Set 11 Inkborn Fables, shifting from individual regions to pan-regional. North American players will compete for tournament slots with LATAM and BR and will no longer be called NA but instead the Americas region. Tournament structures are also changing, with the World Championship becoming the Tactician’s Crown and pan-regional tournaments called Tactician Cups. And the Regional Finals is now called the Americas Golden Spatula tournament.Â
How TFT Set 11 Americas tournaments work
The new TFT esports system for the Americas in Set 11 starts with an NA community satellite tournament and LATAM/Brazil sub-regional circuits. Next is a Tactician Trial that leads into the Tactician Cup. Before each Cup, there is a Tactician’s Trials. Top performers at the Tactician Cups will advance to the Americas Golden Spatula and seven players from the Americas will then compete at the Inkborn Fables Tactician’s Crown (Worlds) tournament.
How are TFT Set 11 Americas Tactician’s Crown Worlds slots allocated?
The seven slots for the Set 11 Inkborn Fables Tactician’s Crown tournament are rewarded to top performers in each region (NA, LATAM, and BR), along with top placements at the Americas Golden Spatula tournament.
- Three slots: Top three finishers at the Americas Golden Spatula tournament
- One slot: Best AVP finalist at the Americas Golden Spatula tournament.
- Three slots: One to each region for the player with the highest qualifier points earned from playing in Tactian’s Cups and Americas Golden Spatula
The winner of the previous Tactician’s Crown, or in the case of Milala from NA, Set 10 Worlds, will also get a chance to earn a slot at the Set 11 Tactician’s Crown Worlds tournament. However, they must make it to at least the Golden Spatula to qualify.
