@Gangly_ can you do an irelia version next please 🫶🏽

In order to make room in my brain for Set 17, I have to expel my Riftbound Sett knowledge somewhere... So I made a 50 min guide on everything I've learned about my favorite deck. Includes: - Ban Impact - Gameplan - Matchups - Mulligan Quizzes - Puzzles & more! ⬇️ WATCH NOW ⬇️

@mein_tft give me your phone.

SETT 17 PLAYERS TO WATCH OUT FOR to REPRESETT NA IN WORLDS, a thread🧵⬇️

@CLE_TFT @CompeteTFT further tier lists are invalid. Already made the objectively correct one @CitadelCTG on top.

It is time for the pinnacle of @CompeteTFT. The Tactician's Crown 👑 is a few days away and there is no better way to get ready than a fancy tierlist. Create yours now! tiermaker.com/create/set-16-… Drop them below and I will rate them from a scale of 1-10

@harmonyamity queen

4 digits!! 🥹 still far from where i want to be as a player, but between competing in paris, my first ever set of tac trials, and my ladder climb, i am so happy with this set progress wise

“game changers drama” It feels a little weird to be writing about this right now; I mean, trans people are seemingly always dealing with needlessly vicious persecution but given the fact that the unironic genocidal dictator currently running a certain country has literally just decided to officially allow his extrajudicial secret police to target anyone that “looks trans” – days after the supreme court ruled that adult trans healthcare bans are legal – it just feels a little frivolous to be talking about my funny little scene in my funny little video game. Nonetheless, if I’m being honest, I don’t know what the fuck to do about that and the more I think about it the more scared I get that we are all wasting our time here and that, maybe, just maybe, that is one of the most evil things we could be doing at the moment. Anyway I was also lowkey thinking a lot about the recent YFP incident and really just the discourse around gender identity in GC in general. I feel like we have basically been having the same discussions for years and more often than not they seem to only really make the scene look bad, be horribly misconstrued by people on the outside looking in, and actually accomplish very little in terms of advancing GC as a program in val/evolving the concept for the future. I truly think that a majority of you have the scene’s best interests in mind, but these are incredibly complicated discussions to be having, and we should be really careful about our intentions when we talk about this stuff. I really do think GC in val has actually been incredibly successful. If the goal was to develop talent of marginalized genders due to the discrimination they face in esports, maybe even to inspire certain young people that would’ve never had an interest in competing to give it a try, I think these have undeniably been accomplished and if you really want to see more women competing at the highest level of gaming these things probably do scale. One of the problems we seem to run into, in NA at least, is that you probably don’t want to invest into a scene that seems to be constantly involved in witch hunts debating the legitimacy of players’ identities. Every single time you do this, you make me scared that one day these types of programs might simply decide that the only solution is to determine eligibility by “birth sex” or gender markers on ID or some shit, I mean some regions already do to my understanding. Obviously this is a horrible solution, we’ve had this debate for years. There are countless gender identities that, even if you don’t necessarily present outwardly queer, if you were to ask your random tier 3 team to simply show you basic respect and acknowledge your identity, you would experience a good chance of just getting dropped or perma misgendered or ridiculed and dehumanized. Maybe all of the above. On top of all that, there are numerous reasons that trans people might be struggling to get official documents or healthcare (like the highkey genocide) and gating their access to this environment in the most critical years of their careers effectively defeats the purpose for them. Personally I fucking love trans people. I am a trans person. This scene changed my life and I am eternally grateful. I want to keep seeing more and more people of all different kinds under those bright lights standing up and yelling across the stage. I don’t think anyone has a perfect solution, maybe there isn’t one. AnyKey isn’t perfect but honestly man they do a pretty decent job, and I’m just at a point where I feel like we are beyond this. Who are you to say that someone isn’t trans enough to play in GC? Obviously if people are outwardly misogynistic, hateful, dangerous, etc. they have no place in the scene and every gaming community kind of has a responsibility to deal with bad actors, but vagueposting and debating people’s identity is legit gross. Surely if we are truly sure that someone in the scene is disingenuous in their identity, we have actual compelling evidence that can be shared through official channels so that these people can’t just rebrand? I’m sure that a few people have done these things you allege and it sucks, but the beauty of GC is that a few shitty noobs larping cannot defeat the purpose of the program. Is it really worth forcing more trans people to debate the validity of their entire existence – especially now – as, for many of us, our lifesaving healthcare is being taken away, and we legitimately have to worry about being kidnapped with no legal recourse in the “world’s greatest power,” all the while you are effectively shooting your own scene in the foot?

i haven’t played magic in so long i wanna get back into it

I think one of the coolest things about the tft scene is how the educational content that’s made around it comes from world-class players. @rippletft and his content on youtube is just another example of high-quality educational content that my algorithm has brought to me

me and who (6 foot 3 btw)

@JustRemikun you might be the worst tierlist maker ever GG

Since everyone likes tierlists, here's a tierlist of all 64 of the great players that are in the NA and EU TFT TPC prior to the Bilgewater Cup! By popular demand, I have added an F tier. I'll see you guys on costream this weekend! A G

@TristateTFT @Gangly_ @harmonyamity Susge

TRISTATE'S TO'S??? RIGGED??? 🤯 Tournament organizers Gangly and Harmony have stolen away enough qualifier points to secure their own slots at the Tristate Invitational! Tune in starting January 24th @ /tristatetft

@JustRemikun you will underestimate spencer tft for the last time old man

With The Americas Set 16 Pro Circuit starting, here is my new Tierlist prior to TPC1! I may be rooting for half the roster... This might be the highest I've rated Setsuko and can @robinsongz start playing please? It's hard being a glazer out here when he's at 83 games on the set.

happy holidays to everyone celebrating. One thing I am grateful for is the incredible TFT community I have gotten to be a part of this year. Very thankful for all of the friends and acquaintances I have gotten to enjoy the company of this year <3

@BepoCarrot elo slingshot primed and ready

Run-it-down Sunday is back! Had a great day yesterday but a struggle day today. The bot 4's don't feel too bad tbh. There's a lot you can control in each game 676767

@JustRemikun W run more ads and farm the noobs for money deal

Thank you so much everyone!!!! After 4 years of streaming and nearly 2000 hours of streaming, I can proudly say I've made enough money to graduate from laptop streaming and build my own desktop pc.

@Artixtft eat some good food and queen out…

In Barcelona for 3 days, someone pls tell me what to do as someone that doesn’t leave the house and plays tft all day.

@bossoskills1 another classic bosso W

1/x Copied Wasianiverson's homework: Volibear/Ryze duo guide. 1. Play around invokers or ahri/ionia early game 2. Hold unlock units for kobuko/kennen when possible, look to unlock on wolves if not earlier 3. Prio belts on carousel, comp needs belts to unlock Volibear.
