Since it was first released in 2019, Teamfight Tactics, the League of Legends spin-off, has gone from strength to strength. From the moment it launched, Teamfight Tactics was an instant hit, emerging from the shadow of the esports epic title, League of Legends. This ‘autobattler’ effectively introduced millions of gamers to a new genre, and in no time at all, it had spawned an esports scene. Now, Riot Games has revealed Rising Legends, the Teamfight Tactics tournament circuit built specifically for the EMEA region.
For this circuit, anybody can register as a competitor and begin qualification matches. According to RisingLegends.gg, TFT Rising Legends “will allow the most strategic players to battle for a spot to represent the EMEA region at the Set 7 TFT World Championship“.
How Will The Rising Legends Circuit Work?
Reportedly, the Rising Legends circuit was built around feedback provided by the community. It’s a massive win for the player base at large, and it’s a credit to Riot Games, the developer, who has truly stepped up and listened to what the fans want. In a statement, Max Wischow, Product Lead of EMEA TFT Esports, said:
I am thankful for the positive and constructive feedback we received during and after Gizmos & Gadgets and have accordingly implemented a few tweaks to our Rising Legends Circuit. With Set 7 we would like to focus and support our regional competitions driving maturity with the implementation of TRCs (TFT Regional Competitions).
This is a relatively complex circuit, with the competition being spread out across four main stages. It all begins with the Open Qualifiers, with 512 players attempting to secure one of just thirty-two places leading into the next stage. There’s a minimum rank requirement for breaking into the Open Qualifiers, and from there, it’s a tense battle with regular reseeding to ensure fairness. Following the Open Qualifiers, the successful players pass into the Golden Spatula Cups.
At the end of each Golden Spatula Cup, one player will qualify for the Set 7 E
