Yet another Riot Games title will make an appearance in Riyadh this week with Teamfight Tactics kicking off on Aug. 8. Sixteen teams arrive and will play out an expanded format in the hunt for a massive $550,000 USD prize pool.

We saw League of Legends open up the Esports World Cup at the beginning of July, while TFT players and fans have been made to wait until the closing fortnight. Nevertheless, the teams are ready and raring to rip into a little Magic n’ Mayhem. Here’s everything you need to know about TFT at the Esports World Cup.

Qualified teams for the Esports World Cup TFT tournament were pooled and drawn into four groups of four. Each group will play out a best-of-three GSL double-elimination bracket, with the top two squads on wins progressing to the playoffs.

Points per match will be distributed with the first in each game earning eight points, the second earning seven, and so on. Tiebreakers will be broken by most first-place finishes.

The playoffs then see the remaining TFT teams continue the Bo3 format through a single-elimination bracket until the final two play a best-of-five for the trophy and the $200,000 main prize. The event’s MVP will earn an additional $50,000. Here are the qualified teams for TFT at the Esports World Cup.
