Title is your TFT Runeterra Reforged world champion!

After three days of world-class Teamfight Tactics (TFT) gameplay, Title put up the most convincing scoreline in the finals to secure victory. He scored 29 points in four games, while most importantly checkmating his opponents immediately after reaching the point threshold. Let's take a deeper look into how Title became your Set 9 Runeterra Reforged world champion.

To make it to the final lobby and get one step closer to being world champion was no easy feat. In a field of 32 of the world's best, Title needed to be among the top eight in overall points after twelve games. Scoring a second-best overall 68 points left no doubts that he belonged in the final lobby to compete for the title. In fact, if he had placed eighth in his final game of Day 2, he still would have been in the final lobby. Having been in the final lobby in the Set 7 Dragonlands Championship, Title was heading into familiar territory.

Three games is all it took for Title to put himself as the sole competitor in check. Players reached check by securing a minimum of 20 points, after which a victory in any subsequent game would crown them as champion. With a 4th, 1st, and 1st in Title's first three games, he was leaving his fellow competitors behind in the dust. There were two goals for the rest of the field:

Title knew he had to play for a first place in every game after Game 3. There was no need to play safe or no need to secure just a top-four placement. He piloted a 6 Slayer line with a creative twist, by teching in Ixtal to his board. Placing his carry Mordekaiser on the Ice Ixtal hex, his carry was very hard to eliminate for his opponents. By the Stage 6 item carousel, only HongLian of China stood in Title's way.

With the fate of the rest of the world's TFT hopes on the line, HongLian became a crowd favorite to extending the tournament to a fifth game. However, Title used his tempo and board strength to go to level 10, unlocked by his 3-2 prismatic augment of Level Up. With that, he was able to add in an Ahri 2, equipped with Blue Buff and Slayer emblem, closing out the Runeterra Reforged Championship in exciting fashion.

Title was the runner-up at the Set 7 Dragonlands championship. But this time, he refused to be denied his world champion status. Title is your Set 9 Runeterra Reforged world champion, potentially cementing himself as one of the greatest in TFT.

Points were awarded from 8/7/6/5/4/3/2/1 for first through eighth place respectively. Games were played on patch 13.21.
