deeekayy

First of all, the #TFTVegasOpen was such an awesome experience, and it's been difficult to put words to it. Having the opportunity to reflect on the weekend, I wanted to share (primarily for my own sake) what the TVO has meant to me. TW: suicide

9 street demon ✅ 6 ox force ✅ did not win a single scrim in the last week ✅ W frenn ✅

We're changing our ruling from the Into The Arcane Tactician's Crown. Here's a message from @RiotSherman and a link to the updated ruling: ➡️ riot.com/CompetitiveRul…

Item stats are out for Set 14! Every PBE cycle, I'm surprised by the number of people who don't know where to find item stats, even challenger players. Here's exactly how to get items stats for Set 14 (and how a challenger player interprets them) 🧵//

peaksplosi drinks monster for the first time

Barely made it in! Played so bad game 2/3, and barely clutched it up last 2 games If my sims are accurate I think I'm guaranteed regionals

you can pull of your own nico harrison and give away a top 3 player in wasianiverson in exchange for an aging robinsongz PogBones

@kayndrew1 @dehua123 @itsDinodan @lilkahunatft thats ninja to you buddy

@dehua123 @itsDinodan @lilkahunatft Get Caspar

ive come to the conclusion that we need a tft podcast that just talks about tft drama (setsuko, xunge, carelessd, metatft) - call it T F Tea

LMAO is MetaTFT just paying for Macao sponsorships with stats instead of cash???

Augments stats (particularly through the explorer) can give a player information/experience that only 1000 games could. There's unironically no way to prevent this from happening, and this represents a serious threat to competitive integrity. Disappointing.

@DOT_tft DAILY at 2:00 p.m. and sometimes again around 8:00 p.m. I only play Bard and am sitting around 850k mastery points. Sometimes I'll play CS:GO with my friends. My Summoner Name on League is "Stunned By Bard". GG!!

61 games Masters 75% top 4 rate GG!

i win if you only look at top 4 ^-^

🇺🇸 Flamez: The Motivated Underdog Heading into Regionals The Americas Golden Spatula Cup is just around the corner, and while the TFT scene is packed with big names, there’s one rising star you should keep an eye on— @Flamesr6s. With 148 qualifier points and a spot secured through Tacticians Cup 3, Flamez is about to make waves. Hooked from Day One Flamez got into TFT in a way many of us can relate to—a friend recommendation. “My IRL friend started playing a day before me late Set 7, and I was hooked immediately,” he says. That casual start quickly turned into something more serious, especially after he realized how open the competitive scene is. Stepping into Competitive Play It didn’t take long for Flamez to start eyeing tournaments. “My first Riot-hosted event was the Mecha Cup in Set 8.5,” he recalls. He’d already been hanging out at the fringe of Challenger, but once he saw how accessible the competitive scene was, he jumped in. Like many rising players, Flamez faced his share of ladder anxiety, but a key mindset shift made all the difference. “I realized there’s no reason I can’t be better than a lot of high-elo players.” Balancing School and TFT What makes Flamez’s story even more impressive? He’s balancing TFT with being a fourth-year chemical engineering student at @UCSanDiego. "This is my hardest year of college, but also when I've been the most motivated," Flamez admits. Even though he can’t put in the same hours as full-time players, his drive and a network of top-tier players to bounce ideas off keep him competitive. A Boost in Set 12 When asked why he’s been performing better in Set 12, Flamez keeps it simple—motivation. "The last couple of months, I’ve been the most motivated since I first hit Challenger," he says. His steady improvement in fundamentals over the past few sets has also been key. Evolving Playstyle Over time, Flamez’s playstyle has grown more flexible. "I used to have a flowchart-like approach," he says, referring to committing to specific comps early in the game. Now, his mindset has shifted to focus on specific lines and opportunities instead, improving his early and mid-game. What’s the Key to Consistency? For Flamez, mastering the fundamentals is essential. “Understanding the balance of economy, tempo, item economy, and roll timings—those are the core elements of consistency,” he explains. You don’t need to be insanely flexible or memorize every patch to climb, he insists, just nail the basics. Regionals and Beyond With regionals looming, Flamez has a clear goal: make it to Worlds. “That’s everyone’s goal,” he says, but he’d be happy with any finish if he feels like he prepped well and gave it his all. Advice for New Players For anyone looking to break into the competitive scene, Flamez has some simple but important advice. "Watch a lot of VODs from top players, but avoid streams when you're trying to learn," he suggests. Understanding the decisions of top players is more important than copying their exact moves. Shoutouts and Inspirations One of the biggest influences on Flamez’s playstyle was @robinsongz. "I binge-watched Robin’s VODs for three months straight in Set 7 and 7.5, and it helped me hit Challenger in less than four months." While his playstyle has evolved since then, those early VODs laid the groundwork for his competitive mindset. Flamez’s story is a reminder that talent, motivation, and the right mindset can take you far, even if you’re juggling school and TFT at the same time. Keep an eye on him—regionals are just the beginning.
