Riot Games announced that it will host the 'Into the Arcane Tactician's Crown' (hereinafter 'Tactician's Crown'), the premier tournament for its strategy game Teamfight Tactics (TFT), from Friday the 10th to Sunday the 12nd.

The Tactician's Crown is the most prestigious official TFT esports event. Forty elite players, who earned their spots through the 'Pro Circuit' and 'Regional Finals,' will compete over three days for a total prize pool of approximately $470k. Players will compete for a spot in the final round on Friday the 10th and Saturday the 11st. In the finals on Sunday the 12nd, the first of the eight remaining players to reach 20 points and then secure a 1st-place finish will be crowned the champion.

Representing South Korea are Park 'Seoil' Chan-seo, known as the 'hope of Korean TFT,' and Kim 'Stillo of Bora' Ju-han, who placed 5th in the final round of the 'Regional Finals.' Seoil, a 20-year-old prodigy in his second year as a pro, made headlines last May by becoming the first Korean to win a 'Pro Circuit' event. Attention is focused on whether Korea can secure its second-ever championship title since a Korean player last won the 'TFT Championship'—the predecessor to the Tactician's Crown—in 2021.

Other top-tier players scheduled to participate include China's powerhouse 'Huanmie' Gou Xin, who won the 'TFT Paris Open' in December 2025, and the U.S.'s 'Dishsoap' Carson Hu, the champion of the 'Mythic & Legend Tactician's Crown' held last March.

The Tactician's Crown will be broadcast live from 8:00 PM each day from Friday the 10th to Sunday the 12nd via the official TFT YouTube channel, SOOP, and Chzzk. Players can participate in the Pick'em event on the official TFT esports website; after the tournament, the top 50 players based on their successful predictions will receive various cosmetic items, including 'Treasure Tokens.'

Detailed information about the tournament can be found on the official Riot Games website and social media channels.
