The first TFT Worlds tournament is scheduled to take place from Sept. 3 to 4. Showcasing Set 3.5 and 16 of the best players around the globe, Riot Games revealed who’s competing and what the format is in a YouTube video today.

Following months of qualifiers across various regions, a total of 16 TFT players will compete in the Galaxies Championship:

  • Alphago
  • KC Doouble61
  • Lev D TrotskiJ
  • Panda

The 16 players will be split into two lobbies featuring five rounds of gameplay. Points are earned based on standings upon each round, with the top-four points finishers in each lobby advancing to day two of the Galaxies Championship. 

Here’s the point breakdown for day one gameplay:
