Riot Games has announced the UK, Ireland and Nordics qualifiers for the TFT Superbrawl, a regional competition which forms part of the new Teamfight Tactics (TFT) Rising Legends Circuit.
Qualifier events for players in the UK, Ireland and Nordics will take place this month, and signups are already open TFT Superbrawl sign-ups are open now at Challonge. Challenger players are being prioritised, but players of all abilities are welcome to join.
TFT is the League of Legends autobattler game that first launched two years ago.
There will be two separate qualifier weekends – giving players an opportunity to sign up for either or both – taking place on January 18-19th and January 25th-26th 2022.
The top 16 players from each qualifier weekend will be entered into the qualifier finals taking place on January 29th, which will be broadcast live on Twitch.
The top two from the qualifier finals will secure the regional slot in the TFT Superbrawl, and go head-to-head with teams from France, Italy, Poland, Spain and Turkey, as well as the CIS, DACH, and Eastern Europe regions.
TFT Superbrawl will take place from February 4th to 6th 2022 and will see nine teams of two players battle it out for a spot at the TFT Rising Legends Finals, alongside their share of the €5,000 cash prize.
TFT Rising Legends is the new tournament circuit serving players in the EMEA region, starting last year.
Riot says Rising Legends is a “significant level-up for the TFT esports ecosystem in EMEA, and allows the most strategic players to battle for a spot to represent the region at the Set 6 TFT World Championship”.
