A total of 32 Teamfight Tactics players from nine regions around the world competed for the coveted Monsters’ Attack Worlds title and a share of the $456,000 overall prize pool.
Over three days, May 26-28, 32 of TFT’s top players battled it out for the world title in a balanced set of eight/8.5 meta. Five tacticians won worlds, three from China, one from France and one from Korea. Regions at the Monsters’ Attack World Championship included, for the first time, the SEA region with three regional slots.
All players have secured a place in the World Championship either by placing top in the regional finals or by winning the Western and Eastern Last Chance qualifiers. Including the LCQ winners, EMEA has the most representatives at the Monsters’ Attack World Championship.
