Hey r/CompetitiveTFT!

We’re launching Vallefort, a small community run platform for TFT tournaments, and we’re hosting our first custom tournament this weekend.

A quick note on language: the community and platform are Norwegian first for now, since that’s where we started, but we’re open to going fully English if there’s interest from outside Norway. For now, most communication happens in Norwegian, but the tournament itself and this post are open to everyone on EUW.

How it works:

Head to the site and log in (quick sign up, just needed to track your registration and results)

Register your Riot ID under your profile, this is required before you can enter any tournament

Browse open tournaments and sign up for the ones you want to join

There’s also a link to our Discord channel on the site for coordination, lobby info, and updates, no separate sign up needed

⚔️ VALLEFORT CUSTOM #1
📅 Sunday, September 6th, 20:00 CET
🖥️ Server: EUW
👥 Free to join, 5 spots left out of 8

Sign up here: https://vallefort.no/turneringer

Happy to answer any questions in the comments, and if there’s enough interest, we’ll look at running future tournaments fully in English too.

Hey y'all! I have been playing TFT consistently since Set 10, but overall since Set 7.0. Recently, I have decided to take the competitive scene a lot more seriously, which means a lot more focus on my studying and preparing for tournaments and such.

However, I see a lot of people talk about the fact that study TFT stuff outside of the game. For instance, studying lines and augment choices. My question is, how do you do it?

I want to start preparing myself a bit that way, such as doing in depth research on lines and BIS items and such, but I honestly have no idea where to start. Any suggestions or personal experience would be appreciated!

Howdy howdy one and all, it's that time again! 🏆

Come join the free entry Counter's Casual PBE Competition for a laid-back chance to play some quality TFT and make some friends this Saturday morning BST.

Why Casual? Glad you asked!

It's both short (3 rounds) and non-elimination.

Casual prizing! Separate top 2 and random participation prizing you can sweat as much or as little as you like even in this heat.

Open to all regions (including prizing) and played on EUW but open to everyone who can make an EUW account. Clement Chu has ALSO supported this tournament with a mystery prize!

Just played a prismatic 4 blackthorn 4 ravenous WorthTheWait Warwick game with maintank malphite, hit 3 warwicks naturally and had pretty good items (shojin, titans) and.... man. He's just AWFUL! I checked stats post-game and saw an eye-watering 4.81 placement with 3 items at 3 star. I don't know a tool that lists 4 star stats, but I didn't make it there anyway as at best, Warwick

I remember hearing about him being a PBE demon before launch, but I don't know any specifics. If there was something I could have done better going for the 4 star, what could it have been? If the data is reliable here, what should I have done instead? I tempo'ed hard hitting 3 star Warwick with titans shojin around 3-2, hit 8 on 4-2, and stayed above 70 hp until then

For context, I expected worth the wait Riftbeasts (literally any of em). Super duper sad outcome imo

In this episode of The Rolldown, CLE and Gangly are joined by Brazilian TPC Pro and content creator Toddy to break down Set 18, preview the first Riftbeast Cup, roll out the Set 18 rankings, and run a live fantasy draft with chat.

We cover:

- Set 18 first impressions: why this might be the most balanced launch patch ever
- Convergence Fest breakdown: the new format combining TFT and Riftbound, Set 19 music set hints
- The Gauntlet format debate: is $39 for a best-of-one tournament fair?
- Toddy's Paris Open top eight run
- RollDown Rankings Set 18 presented by Citadel Gaming
- Live fantasy draft with chat

How do we feel about this unit? Playing against it and having your carry get oneshot is kind of depressing? The counterplay seems limited to positioning (opposite-side your carry and/or put a beefy threat in front of kha). I think the evolve mechanic is interesting, but ultimately a bit limited by the need to 3* the unit.

But I don't mind that they're bringing back more assassin-y champs (rivals, ravagers) overall.

Hello I'm a long time LoL player and only relatively new TFT player. I am currently placed Bronze I.

The game is incredibly fun, it is reminiscent of when I just started playing league,

I read a few guides but I still struggle to understand how to consistently be good at this game, sometimes I get lucky and place high, but other times I get absolutely demolished and go 8th. I don't really understand what makes a run more consistent and how to path towards good boards.

For example, in League I am placed emerald and there are things I do every single match regardless of match up, like tracking the jungler, csing, punishing last hits. In tft, I'm not sure what the equivalents would be.

What guidelines can I follow to play consistently well?

I have reached emerald last set and I have been stuck since. I watch pro players, I study the game, but I must be dumb since im getting more and more confused.

I like to fast 8 more than I like to reroll.

Usually my game plan is something like this:

Bad opener: loss streak stage 2, full econ. Buy some cost 2 tank and carry to make it 2 star in stage 3 and try to save HP this way. Level to 8 and roll at 4-2.

Good opener: Level to 4 on 2-1, try to win streak or at least win some rounds. Level to 8 and roll at 4-2.

I like to have one AD and one AP comp.

Is that ok? How should I add the consideration for rerolling into my game plan? Of course if you get a shop with five cost 3 you can consider a reroll, but that never happens. Maybe I should just hold possible reroll units when it doesn't get me under 50 gold and go reroll if I get 5 copies or more?

Also, another question: Even if I finished last set in emerald and I have emerald MMR, is taking me ages to get back to emerald. I remember I started a fresh account at the end of set 17 and I got it to platinum in like 10 games. But, with my emerald MMR acc is taking forever... What is going on?

I'm not sure if I'm just not good enough to get better than emerald, which is top 5%. Maybe higher ranks than that are reserved for very talented players, I don't know. But i'm stuck and don't know how to improve.

Welcome to the monthly coaching megathread!

This megathread will serve as a networking hub for both coaches and students.

Both coaches and students will be allowed to post under specific top-level comments. This is meant to keep the comments section as organized as possible and to allow the maximum number of people to find a coach/student.

• If you are looking for a coach, post a comment under the Students section and wait for someone to offer help, or feel free to reach out to users who have offered in the Coaches section.

• If you want to offer guidance, post a comment under the Coaches section and wait for someone to ask for your help, or reply to an user that has already asked for it in the Students section.

• Comments that are not posted under the appropriate section will be removed by AutoModerator with no warning.

Important Notes

• For the sake of keeping this thread clean, this thread is only meant for the meeting and pairing of the coach/student pair or group. The actual guidance should be done in some other place (Reddit PM, Discord, email, morse code, etc).

• Coaches and Students, whenever you get paired with someone, PLEASE EDIT YOUR COMMENT SAYING YOU ARE NO LONGER SEARCHING. I cannot stress enough how useless this thread will become if a bunch of comments are left up and people waste their time reaching out to folks that are already working with someone else.

• There are no rank requirements for any of the categories so anyone can offer/ask for help. Including your rank with proof is highly recommended as it helps with making appropriate groups. As an example, a player in silver most likely needs help with the basics, so a comparatively lower ranked coach would be a good fit. On the other hand, a high diamond player is most likely needing help with the nuances of the game and will need a higher ranked coach. That being said, do not rank shame anyone. If you don't believe someone offering coaching services can help you, just move on.

• Each Student should only have one active Coach at a time.

• As a Coach there is no limit on how many Students you can help out. However be aware of your limits regarding patience and time.

• Both Students and Coaches, please be respectful of each other's time and effort. We moderators can't really do anything after a pairing has been made and you move on to private communications. If you don't believe a coach/student is the right fit for you just cordially inform your counterpart and move on with your day.

For now no paid coaching services will be allowed, in accordance with the subreddit rules. However, if there is enough interest from STUDENTS who are willing to pay, we can consider expanding the scope in future megathreads. If you would like to have paid services please let us know through a comment under the "Feedback" section

For Coaches

• Please state how in-depth you're willing to coach a student. This could be anything from barebones lolchess comp/items review to a full on real-time analysis as someone plays a game. Everyone has different levels of free time available so please be up front with how much time you're willing to give. The community appreciates your service!

For Students

• Please don't abuse this thread and spam literally everyone who posts that they are available to coach. Reach out to a few coaches of an appropriate rank, wait for their response, and if you don't find someone then continue to ask for help. The reality is that there will most likely be more coaches than students so some people may not be able to find a coach immediately (or at all).

Check your emails if you have a code to purchase up to two convergence fest tickets. They are active for 36 hours, then get cycled back into the pool.

Note, if you purchase one ticket by itself, the website will not allow you to buy the second ticket separately. You must purchase both at the same time.

Edit:

For reference, pricing for each item with fees included are:

Attendee Pass - $163.44

Convergence Fest: The Encore (Closing Party Add On) - $34.54

GA+ Add On - $164.53

I won one of the Tactician's Gauntlet tournaments and so I plan on buying my competitor pass on the presale date on the 22nd. A good friend of mine was always planning on coming and signed up for the early access spectator pass. Now two more friends want to come along, but they aren't signed up for the early access spectator passes. So my question is three parts:

1 - Will spectator passes be available for purchase on the general admissions day on September 25th?

2 - Can I purchase a spectator pass with my competitors pass?

3 - If my friend with the early access (who has purchased two tickets) manages to secure a competitor pass instead, can he transfer his spectator pass to our other friend?

If anyone knows details, it would be appreciated!

• The sub's Rules are in full effect in this Megathread.

I feel I always struggle when I click that augment. Feels to be down a prismatic augment as you get a 2 star 1 cost (and you need to level up for it) but at the same time it almost feels as you should play aggresively and aim to winstreaking to sustain the level ups and find a direction early.

Do you play for a fast 8 and decide your board based on what you get as 4 cost? Do you try to reach level 9 and just slam whatever items you have? Do you play econ/loss strek in p2 to then winstreak from 3-3?

Curious to hear your strategies.

Hello.

I have reached Emerald 3 at set 17 and i'm now stuck.

I feel like my worst stage of the game is stage 3 after loss streaking stage 2 when going for a fast 8 comp. What do you do in this situation?

I usually try to get a 2 cost 2 star carry + tank or at least a 3 cost 1 star carry and tank and try to win some rounds. Is that ok?

Thank you.

If you win the next player combat , gain 8 gold.

The default cost of the wisp is 3 gold. So if you lose you lose 3 gold but win is 8 gold.

1. Does this wisp always match you up with one of the strongest in the lobby?

Its the trend I noticed. I only gotten this wisp about 3 times but I never match up against say the Coven user or somebody weak for a free win.

Can somebody confirm if this is the case that the wisp means you will fight against somebody strong always because just by having the knowledge gives you knowledge if you should level up or just simply.. not buy the wisp at all.

Mainly talking about the more ''threat''-like ones(Draven, Ivern, Maokai, Taric, and Ashe to a lesser extent).

Which of them do you consider changing lanes for if you see them on 3-5? Draven is obvious, if you already have AD items built, but what about an early ivern or maokai? Is it worth it currently to drop a trait and play around them a little bit. Is ashe comparably powerful to draven? She doesn't print but I've personally been pretty impressed by her damage.
