Teamfight Tactics Set 2 is all live for PBE players to test and explore! Here are all of the new champs, Elements, Traits, mechanics, and items so far! Which is your favorite addition? What else do you hope they add?
Riot Mort (@Mortdog on Twitter) has posted a long, in-depth update on all the changes made to Teamfight Tactics on the PBE for today's launch of the TFT Set 2 testing. Check out the change log here!
The time has come. Just a little later than some (many) would have liked. On Tuesday afternoon, the Heroes of the Storm social media team dropped, arguably, one of the most anticipated tweets in the game's history. The time has come. Just a little later than some (many) would have liked. On Tuesday afternoon, the Heroes of the Storm social media team dropped, arguably, one of the most anticipated tweets in the game's history. However, as the years went by, there was one name that kept appearing in posts on Reddit, social media, and in the conversation surrounding the game...Deathwing. Fans held out hope that the next hero would be The Destroyer but, patch after patch, year after year, he was passed by.
Ever since Riot Games released Teamfight Tactics over three months ago, the development team has been learning, growing, and listening to the community for feedback. It hasn't always been seamless and mistakes have been made along the way. But they're willing to acknowledge that and work towards improving the game that countless fans enjoy around the world. On Tuesday morning, Stephen Mortimer, the title's Principal Game Designer, released a blog post on League of Legend's official site titled "/DEV: TFT SET 1 LEARNINGS" that outlined just that: What the team has learned in the first few months since the game went live.
The first Seasonal Set of Teamfight Tactics begins tomorrow, Oct. 22nd! And streamers and personalities have begun releasing new champions and mechanics for the mode's big launch. here is what we know!
Bucharest Masters Tour took place this weekend with a prize pool just shy of $100,000. Canadian player Eddie "Eddie" Lui emerged victorious, but his trophy did not make it one piece. It made it in two.
Each Quarterfinals match will be a best-of-five series in which the losers will go home, while the winners will remain in Madrid for the Semifinals in the first week of November.
The last match of Groups spelled either the death of NA or the death of the previous World Champions. And the reaper just happened to show up on North American soil, as IG dominated in the final match, and sends TL back home.
The last day of Group Stage launches DWG into the first seed for Group D, where they join SKT and GRF who finished first in their respective groups earlier on the week. All three teams finished 5-1! Is this another year of LCK Worlds victory.
Starting the day in a three way tie with TL and IG at 2-1, DWG won their first two games and become the first to advance out of Group D. Sitting at 4-1, they only have AHQ left, and defeating them will guarantee first seed.
Coming out of the first Round Robin, AHQ sat at 0-3 and needed to go 3-0 on elimination day to qualify to the Worlds 2019 Knockout Stage. Invictus Gaming shut out that possibility in just the first game, read about it here:
In an announcement this evening, LoL Esports Latinoamérica issued a statement on Twitter saying that tomorrow's League of Legends Worlds Championship broadcast is cancelled due to protests in Santiago de Chile.
The first game in the final day of the 2019 League of Legends World Championship Group Stage will be the the IG veteran's first start since August 23rd in the 2019 LPL Summer Playoffs.
With SKT qualifying right out of the gate, FNC and RNG were going to have to fight for the last spot! And after an exciting game, the home crowd favorites, FNC, take the win and advance to Madrid!
After a near hour of game-play (and a lot of Infinity Edges), Clutch's Nexus fell. While it was an incredibly difficult road they needed to travel to make it to Madrid, it would've been a beautiful one if they did. Alas, they join their fellow NA reps, Cloud9, on the trip back to LA instead.
SKT came in to the second Round Robin with a 3-0 record, needing only to beat either RNG or FNC to secure a place in the Knockout Stage. As fate would have it, they beat RNG in their first game!
Let's dive in to everything that's happened in the OWL off-season this week.
