With the Space Gods Regional Finals kicking off on June 26, 192 of the world's best tacticians are set to clash across AMER, APAC, and EMEA for a share of $50,000 and a coveted spot at the Tactician's Crown on July 10-12. Only the strongest will survive the six-day gauntlet, where every decision could mean the difference between glory and elimination. Whether you're a seasoned viewer or a newcomer to competitive TFT, here's your complete guide to the action.

What Are the Space Gods Regional Finals?

The Space Gods Regional Finals are the penultimate stage of the TFT Space Gods competitive circuit, where the top 64 players from each major region—AMER, EMEA, and APAC—compete in a high-stakes tournament. Over two weekends, these tacticians will fight for a slice of the $50,000 prize pool and, more importantly, for the chance to qualify for the Tactician's Crown, the global championship event. The winners will earn the title of regional champion and a ticket to the world stage, where they'll face the best from China and beyond.

Format Explained: Two Weekends of Cosmic Warfare

The Regional Finals use a multi-stage format designed to test consistency and adaptability. Here's how it breaks down:

Week 1 (Play-Ins, Combat, Elimination): The initial field of 48 players per region is narrowed to 16 through a series of elimination rounds.

Week 2 (Combat & Elimination): New challengers from the TFT Pro Circuit join the remaining 16 for another round of intense matches.

Grand Finals: The last 8 tacticians face off in either a Checkmate format (first to 20 points + a win) or a 6-game points format, depending on qualification outcomes.

This structure ensures that only the most resilient and strategic players survive to represent their region at the Tactician's Crown.
