Boxbox Bootcamp returns for the launch of Set 9.5!

Teamfight Tactics (TFT) Set 9.5 just went live today. With the release, the Set 9.5 Boxbox Bootcamp has begun. This iteration is the biggest it's ever been, with three divisions and 140 total participants!

Boxbox selected 140 streamers to participate in the Set 9.5 Boxbox Bootcamp. They were split into three leagues:

Much like the Set 9 Boxbox Bootcamp, competitors will need to survive in order to make it to the top. Over the course of two weeks of ranked North American ladder play, the lowest-ranked competitors will be eliminated until one winner prevails.

Competitors must stream at least half of their games and will be rewarded with gifted subscriptions. The winner of each league will receive an extra prize on top of the largest split of the prize pool. You can find more details on the rules here.

Similar to previous iterations, the Pro League consists of streamers known for their skill in TFT. Most of them play TFT for a living, are regularly Challenger (the highest rank in TFT), and some compete in professional tournaments.

Boxbox added the Advanced League to provide a more competitive league for those who aren't quite at the level of the pros yet but are not new or beginners at TFT. Players in this league range from Platinum to Diamond/Master. Finally, the Casual League includes streamers who are relatively new to the game and are in the process of exploring and learning the game.

With 140 streamers and three leagues, your favorite TFT professionals and Twitch streamers might be participating. Set 8.5 and Set 9 Boxbox Bootcamp Pro League winner Robinsongz returns to defend his title, looking to three-peat his champion status. Additionally, Set 9 Boxbox Bootcamp Casual League winner Juliebou joins the Advanced League in an attempt to become another back-to-back winner. Here's everyone involved in the Set 9.5 Boxbox Bootcamp.

Through the first four days, all players are safe from elimination. Beginning on September 17th, midnight PT, those at the bottom of the leaderboard will be eliminated.

Each league has its own split of the $25,000 prize pool, distributed in the form of gifted subscriptions while streamers are live.

The exact details on the eliminations and prize pool are not available to the public but you can get a sense of what it might look like from the Set 9 breakdown.

Viewers can once again participate by joining their favorite streamer's "team" and reaching a high rank of their own. Those at the top of the Boxbox Viewer Bootcamp will win egg codes for their favorite streamer to distribute to their community. Sign up to join in on the action here.

That's all for now. Stick around on esports.gg for more news and updates!
