The first Teamfight Tactics world champion was crowned today, much to the delight of fans in France. KC Double61 won three-straight rounds to become the best tactician in the world.
After finishing first in the TFT European Qualifier Finals several weeks ago, Double61 went from obscurity to a household name. The pressure was on at the Galaxies Championship, though, after making it to the finals with veteran French player Voltariux and the other EU qualifier, Lev D Trotski. But the pressure never got to Double61. He won three rounds in a row to claim the first TFT Worlds title.Â
Lev D started off day two at the Galaxies Championship hot, winning round one while Double61 finished in sixth place. The 16-year-old quickly rebounded in round two, though, beating out Lev D and Bobae for first. And then he continued his win streak through rounds three and four, with his victory in game four earning him the title. Â
That final win was close, though. The rest of the players in the lobby let Double61 grab a Spear of Shojin during the final carousel, allowing his three-star Syndra to overtake the rest of the lobby. Â
The second day of TFT Worlds featured the top eight players from the semifinals fighting for the $40,000 grand prize and a Galaxies Championship title. There was also a different format in the finals with players needing to reach a total of 18 points before they had a chance to win TFT Worlds. Once hitting that 18-point mark, those players needed a first-place finish to claim the title.Â
Pulling off three lobby wins in a row during competitive play is rare in TFT. But for KC Double61, a three-game win streak became a reality today, earning the young French player the first Teamfight Tactics Worlds title.Â
