First Teamfight Tactics LAN tournament to be held in Las Vegas

Despite being a competitive title for many years, Teamfight Tactics has not held a physical LAN event... yet. Riot Games has announced that later this year, it will be hosting the first ever LAN TFT tournament, which will see the best players from around the world heading to Las Vegas for a chance to be crowned champion.

Set to be held between December 8-10 at the MGM Grand on the Las Vegas Strip, we're told that this tournament will be played on Set 10, and will feature an open bracket format that will allow 512 contenders the chance to land a spot at this physical event.

"We want the future of TFT esports to embody approachability and diversity of skill. To achieve this, we are expanding our esports events and opening more of them to anyone who wants to compete," says Michael Sherman, global head of TFT. "Recognizing the incredible potential of competitive TFT, we are thrilled to announce our first-ever global LAN event, which will take place this December in Las Vegas."

The finer details about the event's format, prize pool, and so forth have yet to be revealed by Riot Games, but we are told that this will be the first step towards the future of TFT esports.
