Taking place from May 12 to 14, the NA Regional Finals for TFT Set 8.5 featured a total of 24 players. All players earned direct invites, competing for a total prize pool of $35,000 USD and three World Championship seeds. Top players who didn’t make the Worlds cut were given a second chance for an invite through the Western Last Chance Qualifier tournament, taking place the following weekend. 

May 12 TFT 8.5 NA Regional Finals standings

Players competed in six games during the first day of the NA Regional Finals, with lobbies reseeded every two rounds. Eight players were eliminated based on tournament points, with 16 advancing to the second day of the tournament. 

Leading after game one was Jukeyou and Bossoskills on the six Heart Pantheon Lulu reroll TFT comp, along with Robivankenob on seven InfiniTeam Sivir and Garen carry. With half of the games played during day one at the NA Regional Finals, Jukeyou, Bossoskills, and RippleOverdrive were sitting atop the leaderboard.

After four games played, Jukeyou was six points ahead of the field, earning three lobby wins. Close behind Jukeyou were Bossoskills and Dishsoap. Sitting under 10 points were Clear and Broccoli. Technical difficulties were had by Wisdom and Riot heading into game five, forcing an extended delay until day two of the NA Regional Finals.

Day two began where day one left off, with two games remaining prior to a cut that eliminated eight players and reduced the field to 16. Then six more games were played, with only the top eight advancing to day three of the TFT Set 8.5 North American Regional Finals.

The point cutoff for the top 16 players advancing to the next round of six games was 25 points.

May 14 NA Regional Finals standings

The third and final day of the TFT Set 8.5 NA Regional Finals featured eight of the 24 players who began the tournament on May 12. The top two highest scores from day three earned an invite to represent NA at the Monsters’ Attack World Championship, along with the player who had the best average placement over the course of the tournament. And two players who didn’t make the TFT Worlds cut will get a shot at the Western Last Chance Qualifier.

Rereplay started day three with triple back-to-back lobby wins, followed closely by Jukeyou, of which both players were in the running for the best average placement invite to TFT Set Eight/8.5 Worlds. And both were significantly ahead of the remaining field after three games played.
