Paytm First Games, the country’s leading gaming destination has today announced that it has teamed up with the globally renowned developer and publisher Riot Games to organize the region’s first Teamfight Tactics mobile tournament. The mobile gaming tournament will be held from 17th to 21st June, and 512 Indian gamers will compete to win a prize pool of Rs. 75,000/- in this first edition of the tournament. To participate in the tournament, gaming enthusiasts across the country will be able to register from 9th June onwards on Paytm First Games app. This tournament will be held online and will use multiple elimination formats depending upon the round.
Teamfight Tactics is an eight-person free-for-all strategy game where players combine League of Legends champions and items in different formations to defeat the seven other players in a match. As the leading game in the auto-battler genre, players tactically place an army of characters on a grid-shaped game board for a last-player-standing automated battle. Teamfight Tactics has emerged as the top contender in the genre, with 80 million players globally since its launch, providing a fun and deep chess-like gameplay experience for all types of players on multiple platforms.
We continue to stay committed to our mission of bringing world-class gaming experience to our users and this partnership will help us to move a step ahead in this direction. This Teamfight Tactics tournament will be the biggest one ever organized in India in terms of prize money and participation. We are going to live with it in the next 2 days and hope to expand our partnership with Riot in the near future.
