  • Day 2 features two lobbies of eight, sorted based on Day 1 performance, with eight players advancing;

“Teamfight Tactics continues to be one of our fastest-growing titles due to its accessibility and depth,” said Whalen Rozelle, Senior Director of Esports at Riot Games.

“To meet the massive demand for organized competition, for the Fates Championship we increased both the prize pool and the number of players who can qualify for the event. We also will explore new ways to further celebrate the esport globally.”
