What Is the TFT Paris Open?
The TFT Paris Open is a large‑scale, open‑bracket LAN event held in Paris, France. Players qualify through regional ladders and open sign‑ups, then compete across multiple days of lobby‑based play. The top 2 players of each lobby advance until the round of 64 where a checkmate format is employed.
The event attracts top players from EMEA, Americas, China, and APAC making it one of the most competitive TFT tournaments outside of the World Championship.
