The first Tactician’s Crown under the new TFT esports system runs from July 12 to 14. Broadcast start times are confirmed to kick off at 6am CT and the main broadcast is filming in Spain. Tune into Twitch or YouTube to watch the main broadcast.
For viewers in North America, like myself, this means games will start at dawn. We’ll update the details on the start times here when Riot releases more information about the first Inkborn Fables Tactician’s Crown.
How do seeds work for the Inkborn Fables Tacitician’s Crown?
Each of the four pan-regions—Americas, EMEA, APAC, and China—has eight seeds competing at the 2024 World Championship. Seeding for the new World Championship, known as the Tactician’s Crown, is different to previous TFT Words tournaments. All seeds were determined through a top finish at the region’s Golden Spatula tournament, best average points (AVP) at Cups and Spatula, and highest Qualifier Points from Cups and Spatula.
After Set 11, each of the four regions will have seven seeds. Three extra seeds will be awarded to top pan-regions from the Inkborn Fables World Championship, and the last seed will go to the winner of the Set 11 Tactician’s Crown if they can make it to the Golden Spatula tournament in Set 12.
Many players and viewers weren’t happy about the pan-regional changes, especially in North America. But no issues arose during the Tactician’s Cup tournaments, and it should remain that way leading up to the TFT Set 11 Tactician’s Crown.
What is the format for Inkborn Fables Tactician’s Crown?
Much like past TFT World Championships, the competition will take place over three days. No players are cut after the first day and points from day one carry over into day two. Only the top eight will advance to day three, though. The winner of the Set 11 Tactician’s Crown will have to secure a first-place lobby finish on day three since the playoffs feature a Checkmate format with a point threshold of 20.
