The Frontrunners of the Tournament

Teamfight Tactics is a very sporadic game where upsets have happened in the past. Europe will look to maintain a strong hold on the tournament. The six European tacticians will aim to retain the championship once more.

Europe will have more competition this year defending the championship. Meanwhile Korea now have 5 representatives versus their previous 2. North American tacticians are also strong as three new tacticians will join Mismatched Socks, NA’s lone representative last tournament.

While there are favorites, matches will be determined by their rolls. Unit selection and luck in rolls will play a big part in determining placements each game. If a player is able to find the units they need, an upset becomes a possibility.
