Two players dominate the TFT 9/9.5 events, highlighting skill impact

History was made on Oct. 8 at the Teamfight Tactics Noxus Cup, with Setsuko winning his second cup of the season, tying Team Liquid Kurumx for tournament wins during Set Nine and 9.5. 

Randomness is a key part of TFT, but winning consecutively requires skill. Critics of TFT often cite the auto battler’s RNG element as a way to discount tournament performances. While high-rolling can play a significant role, it takes skill to dominate rotating lobbies filled with the best players from the NA region during two separate tournaments. And that is exactly what Setsuko did at the NA Noxus Cup this past weekend, dominating during days three and four to earn another title win.
