Here are the initial details for TFT’s next global event.

Who’s Competing? The 40-Player Field

The Space Gods Tactician’s Crown features the top 40 players from four competitive regions: AMER, EMEA, APAC, and CN. The seeds are divided into two main categories:

TFT Pro Circuit (13 slots): Includes 11 winners from TPC events across AMER, APAC, CN, and EMEA, plus 2 Pro Points qualified players from EMEA and APAC.

Regional Finals Slots (27 slots): CN gets 8 slots, APAC and AMER each receive 7, and EMEA gets 5.

After three days of high-stakes competition, only one player will claim their place among the stars and become the Space Gods Champion.

Prize Pool: $470K USD Up for Grabs

Players will compete for their share of the $470K USD total prize pool. The exact distribution will be revealed closer to the event, but this substantial pot ensures every game matters.

Event Format: Points, Lobbies, and Elimination

The tournament uses a points-based system where players earn 8 points for first place, 7 for second, and so on down to 1 point for eighth place. The event unfolds over three days:

Day 1 – Round 1

All 40 players are split into 5 starting lobbies via a snake draft selection process. They play 6 games total, with lobbies shuffling every 2 games. After Game 6, the top 32 players advance to Day 2, while the bottom 8 are eliminated.

Day 2 – Rounds 2-5

Lobbies shuffle every 2 games based on Total Points earned across Days 1 and 2. After Round 4, the top 4 players in Total Points advance directly to the Grand Final, while the bottom 4 are eliminated. The 5th-12th place players move on to Round 5.

Day 3 – Grand Final: Checkmate Format

The Grand Final uses the Checkmate Format. The first player to reach 20 points and then secure a first-place finish in a game will be crowned the Space Gods Champion. This high-stakes format rewards both consistency and clutch performance.
