Format
The action will cover two regions — North America and Europe — and the 64 players will be divided into two groups of 32 accordingly.
The top eight players from each group will qualify for the second day's play, and will do battle for the title of Teamfight Tactics Showdown champion.
As always, the action will be broadcast on Twitch's dedicated Rivals channel, and adds to a Rivals stable that already includes major esports titles such as Overwatch, Hearthstone and Apex Legends — and even offbeat titles such as Stardew Valley.
