The Teamfight Tactics Paris Open 2025 saw an exhilarating showdown as top players from around the world gathered to compete for the prestigious title. Set against the vibrant backdrop of Paris, the competition brought together 768 skilled participants, marking an increase from the previous year’s 512 contenders at the TFT Macao Open. The event was not just a battleground for esports glory but also a celebration of the TFT community.
Alpha Gaming player Ge ‘Huanmie’ Wuxin has won the Teamfight Tactics Paris Open, the game’s biggest esports event of the year. His victory was solidified in the fifth game of the finals lobby, demonstrating his mastery of the ‘Checkmate’ format used in the competition. In this format, finalists aimed to achieve a total of 20 points to place the lobby in ‘check.’ Winning a subsequent game would secure their triumph. The competition was intense, with four players reaching the critical point in game four, setting up a thrilling showdown in game five.
Huanmie Tops the Table
In a nail-biting conclusion, Huanmie’s prowess emerged victorious through a strategic Void composition, earning him another international title for his collection. Huanmie, a stalwart of Alpha Gaming, has been a formidable presence in the TFT esports scene since 2021. Beyond his recent success, he boasts a win at the 2021 Reckoning Championship, where he became the first Chinese player to claim an S-tier TFT trophy. His impressive career includes top finishes in major tournaments, such as third place in both the 2022 Dragonlands Championship and the 2024 Esports World Cup.
The event was not only a competition but also an immersive experience for fans. Attendees at the Paris Expo Porte de Versailles could explore community events and try out Riot Games’ latest offerings, including the TCG Riftbound and Fighting Game 2XKO, which recently added Caitlyn as a playable character.
What is Next for TFT Esports?
With the Paris Open concluded, the focus now shifts to the future of TFT esports in 2026. Reports suggest that the next Teamfight Tactics Open will be held in Las Vegas, Nevada. This event marks a return to North America, following the 2022 Las Vegas tournament, which was the game’s inaugural large-scale Open event. Before this, the Tactician’s Crown series will continue to captivate audiences, with the Lore & Legends Tactician’s Crown competition scheduled for March 2026.
