INTRODUCTION
If this is your first time reading, welcome to the Hyper Roll. 👋

Normally, this is a newsletter dedicated to giving you all the TFT resources you’ll need to improve your game, climb the ladder, and stay up to date on all things competitive TFT.

However, this email is celebrating the World Championship, and we’re breaking down all 32 competitors to give you the best possible primer you could ask for.

In this tournament…

•  🇺🇸 The Perfect Player

• 🇫🇷 The 4 time World’s Veteran

• 🇨🇳 The New Moon Rising

The Championship kicks off on March 1 at 4AM Pacific / 7AM Eastern / 1PM CET on Twitch and Youtube.

REGION SPOTLIGHT
🇺🇸 North America - Dishsoap

Dishsoap has been ranked top 5 in every single DTIYDKshow Power Ranking since the start of set 8. He is jokingly referred to as the PP (Perfect Player). He is top 5 in career AVP among players with >100 games played in Final Weekend. He has finally qualified for the World Championship and is a favorite to win it all.

Going into Set 10, Dishsoap’s studygroup was disbanded. People joked for a long time that NA was just “copying Dishsoap’s homework.” For Regionals, Dishsoap opted to not join a studygroup and instead study alone. If there is a single player in North America who can find an edge without the help of others, Dishsoap is certainly that player.

🇺🇸 Milala

Set 10 AVP: 3.76 | Set 10 Top 4: 67.5% | Set 10 1st Rate: 20%

Milala is collecting the Set 10 infinity stones and is only one away from having an untouchable title of greatest competitive set preformance in NA TFT history.

Let’s get a sense for his Set 10 thus far. After winning The Vegas Open, Milala earned a two-peat with his win at the K/DA Cup. He then followed it up with another final day finish at the Heartsteel Cup, and 2nd at Regionals.

Before TVO, Milala was known by many as a choker. A player who had qualified for multiple final lobbies, but was never actually able to close it out. Whether it was a mental shift, or a skill gap, Milala is now in an exclusive club of players with multiple event wins under their belt. Let’s see if he can secure another checkmate victory.

🇨🇦 Weird

Set 10 AVP: 4.17 | Set 10 Top 4: 52.78% | Set 10 1st/8th: 27.78%

A few weeks before the K/DA Cup, the rise of Open Fort and Econ focused play led to a contest for Rank 1 between various open forters - one of which was Weird. He made himself known in Set 7 as an open fort Astral player, opting for high risk, high reward play.

With a 1st/8th rate of 27.78% in Set 10, Weird has dodged enough 8ths to find himself in the World Championship. He may be the most fearless player in North America and will be a blast to watch, especially if he can make the checkmate finals.

🇺🇸 Degree

Set 10 AVP: 3.91 | Set 10 Top 4: 57.45% | Set 10 1st/8th: 19.15%

Degree broke out in Set 7 with a 2nd place finish at the Dragon Cup. Since then, he failed to qualify for Regionals in Sets 8 and 9, despite a handful of decent results.

For Set 10 Regionals, Degree joined the studygroup of Wasianiverson, Milala, Rippleoverdrive and Rereplay. At NA Regional Finals, he shocked the region with a deep run to nab the AVP slot. He may not be the most prestigious player at Champs, but if you sleep on Degree, you’ll find him outplacing you.

REGION SPOTLIGHT
🇩🇪 EMEA - Salvyyy

Salvyy has FINALLY made it to worlds by finishing 1st place in EMEA Regional Finals with a 3 point gap. He has never felt so confident going into a competition in his life. Salvyy has attended 5 Regional Finals. Each time barely missing out on making worlds. It felt like making worlds was never going to happen for the German Veteran. He has never grinded and wanted something so much in his life and it was all worth it.

Salvyyy is one of our GSC winners back in Dragonlands and he nearly did it again in GSC#2 in Remix Rumble. At Regionals Salvyy barely made Day 3 making it through on tiebreaker with a clutch preformance finish off the day. That momentum went into Day 3 starting off the finals with 2 1st's and 2 2nd's giving him a 10 POINT gap at the top. He was also able to close out the EMEA Finals by winning the whole thing giving him the prize of the best EMEA player this set.

🇫🇷 Voltariux

Set 10 AVP: 4.26 | Set 10 Top 4: 53.7% | Set 10 1st Rate: 18.52%

Voltariux is one of the most historic TFT players in EMEA. He's been competing ever since Set 3 Galaxies which was where he played in his first World Championship. He will be playing in his 4th World Championship, the most of any other player in TFT EMEA HISTORY.

Getting 7th at a World Championship last set was no easy task. This set he has proven that it wasn't all luck and he is one of the best talents EMEA has to offer. During this Set, Volta set a high bar for himself and he delivered. In both Golden Spatula Cups he made it to day 3. At Regionals, he had a very tough start with only 1 top 4 in his first 4 games. However, on day 2 he was able to come back and finish top 4 making it to day 3. Volta was able to cluch up a 1st in the FINAL GAME to make it to worlds.

🇨🇿 Skipaeus

Set 10 AVP: 3.75 | Set 10 Top 4: 69.09% | Set 10 1st Rate: 20%

Skipaeus is one of the most creative players in EMEA. He will cook up boards that no one would even think about and somehow someway make it work. This will be Skipaeus's 2nd World Championship appearance after coming 14th overall in Reckoning. In GSC#1, Skipaeus finished 3rd with his fellow country companion Petikk winning the GSC. Skipaeus also won a GSC back in set 7.

In the Regional Finals Skipaeus got the most 1st places (5) out of all the players that made it to day 3 but also got 2 8ths and a 7th. A very hit of miss player that on his day can be incredible. Skip is built for checkmate.

🇫🇷 Jedusor

Set 10 AVP: 4.4 | Set 10 Top 4: 50% | Set 10 1st Rate: 13.33%

Over the course of Set 10 Jedusor was Rank 1 on the EUW ladder. Unfortunately that didn't continue through the competitive scene not even making it to Day 2 in both Golden Spatula Cups. He was able to make Regional Finals through Ranked Ladder points but with the previous performaces not alot of people expected him to do well.

However, when it mattered most, at Jedusor was sitting right at the top of regionals Days 1 & 2. This was the Jedusor everyone was expecting to see. This set was Jedusor's first Regional Finals and this will be his first World Championship. Even though he's been the player at the top of the ladder grinding most of this set he will still be an underdog going into Regionals but don't count him out.

REGION SPOTLIGHT
🇳🇿 Oceania - Yush

Yush has reached rank #1 in both the OCE and NA regions. He consistently dominates the OCE ladder and allocates a significant portion of his time to challenging the top players in NA. Notably, he has earned the distinction of appearing on k3Soju's "int list" twice—an acknowledgment of his competitive nature. Yush's mission extends beyond personal accomplishments; he seeks to showcase that OCE can compete alongside the world's best, silencing skeptics along the journey.

In preparation for his upcoming challenges, Yush collaborates with some of the finest players from OCE and SEA, including world representatives Kahdei and Kjaos, along with other top-ranked players such as Angora and Josepalo.

Thank you to Tamura for his help with the OCE Worlds representatives. Follow them on X!

REGION SPOTLIGHT
🇻🇪 Latin America - Relic

Relic is a former League of Legends pro and esports manager who also was consistently hitting Challenger on TFT on the side until he pivoted to TFT fully in Set 9. His success in both games is unparalleled, as he is the only player who has been to both League and TFT World Championships.

He had a decent showing in Set 9, finishing 16th in LATAM Regionals, but in Set 10, the efforts started paying dividends. He was invited to be one of LATAM’s representatives at TOC 7: Mid-Set Invitational and made it to the finals, silencing the doubters and putting him as a crowd favorite to make it to Worlds. He’s mostly been adhering himself to the meta, usually putting himself in spots where he can play for winstreak, preserve enough HP, and pivot to the common AD Flex routes and 2-Cost rerolls. It’s very rare to see Relic go 8th, and this consistency is what put him in the LATAM Finals in the first place.

Historically, Latin America North hasn’t had much success compared to the Southern region. That changed this Set: Relic marks the first time that LAN has qualified to Worlds since Set 5, so he has the whole region behind his back.

🇦🇷 CoccaKen

Set 10 AVP: 3.95 | Set 10 Top 4: 57.14% | Set 10 1st/8th: 16.67%

CoccaKen is the underdog story of Set 10. CoccaKen had to take the longest possible route this Set to qualify for Worlds, with a total of 84 games. He grew as a player because of it. During Day 1 and Day 2 of LATAM Regionals, he looked rather shaky, and we feared that his mental was going to go boom! However, he fixed his mental, fixed his gameplay, and ended up stomping on Day 3, and the finals afterwards.

In terms of playstyle, he likes to reroll and usually finds creative ways to get to those spots. He holds the best Riven stats of all LATAM, and it wouldn’t surprise me to see him play down those lines a lot during Worlds. Oh, and you’ll probably see his Poro dancing during Worlds. He loves doing that.

🇦🇷 Cheche

Set 10 AVP: 4.05 | Set 10 Top 4: 52.38% | Set 10 1st/8th: 28.57%

Cheche is one of the most respected players in our region, consistently making it to Challenger in both LATAM and North America’s ladder, and always being a force to be reckoned with during tourneys. 

Cheche holds the record for getting into the most Final Lobbies in LATAM. He qualified for the Grand Finals of Set 6, Set 8, Set 9, and Set 10. Unfortunately, he was never able to translate it into a Worlds appearance until now. He built a reputation as a choker, as “the best player who never made it to Worlds”, but people still believed.

Cheche started Set 10 Finals with an 8th and 7th, and people thought history would repeat itself. However, he ended up clutching the final 4 games. He needed a 1st in the final game, and he pulled it through. He’s been playing with a 1st or 8th playstyle lately, holding the second highest Win % of the entire LATAM region, and it wouldn’t surprise me to see him continue with that trend.

Thank you to PieHat for his help with the LATAM Worlds representatives. Follow them on X!

REGION SPOTLIGHT

🇸🇬 SEA - Kjaos

Kjaos has long been a supportive figure in the competitive TFT scene, despite not having the opportunity to compete until Set 8. He has been a constant presence in the background, aiding other world-reps such as Escha, Tamura77, and Rereplay in their preparations. Kjaos embodies the transition from coach to professional player.

His debut to international TFT at the Vegas Open showcased his potential, gracing the main stage twice. However, Set 10 Regionals is where Kjaos truly shined. Against formidable opponents, including the overwhelming forces of Vietnam, Kjaos defied the odds to secure a remarkable 2nd place finish. His journey is a testament to his unwavering consistency and determination. Now, Kjaos stands poised to seize victory and claim the ultimate prize.

🇻🇳 Lê Chuyên

Set 10 AVP: 3.65 | Set 10 Top 4: 66.67% | Set 10 1st/8th: 16.67%

Le Chuyen is the champion of SEA Regional, he has always been very consistent since the Vietnam qualifiers.

Le Chuyen is a very well-rounded player. He can play anything, any style whether reroll or tempo, whether playing to get 1st or playing to gain placements. Not only is he always up to date with new tech, he is also quick to respond to meta changes during the tournament. Furthermore, he not only plays according to the meta but also has his own theory of how to play. Le Chuyen has a great possibility of reaching the final top 8 and even surpassing YBY1's 3rd at Worlds set 8.5 achievement.

🇸🇬 Eggy

Set 10 AVP: 3.7 | Set 10 Top 4: 56.67% | Set 10 1st/8th: 16.67%

Because of the new competitive ruling that dropped on Thursday, the 4th place player from the SEA regional finals is now competing at worlds! Eggy, who is largely unknown, has no competitive history outside of Set 10. Current rank 1 on the SG server, Eggy has mastered playing around the very strong superfan package. Finishing on top of day 1 & 2 of regionals, Eggy had lost the tiebreater to go to worlds, or so they thought.

Best of luck to Eggy! We are all rooting for you!

Thank you to fenghuang (VN) and Tamura (SG) for their help with the SEA Worlds representatives. Follow them on X!

REGION SPOTLIGHT

🇰🇷 Korea - Binteum

Binteum, a 3x Worlds representitive is coming back for the top spot.

With the highest expectations of the representatives, Binteum has not dissapointed since entering the highest level of TFT competition. His consistency on the worlds stage and experince in the eastern competitions will make him one of the favorites going in to the world championship.

Binteum is known for fast apm, a methodical decision making process, playing efficiently depending on opener/itemsm, and playing for 1st when he has to.

🇰🇷 Dunizuni

Set 10 AVP: 3.8 | Set 10 Top 4: 64% | Set 10 1st/8th: 28%

Known 1st or 8th player, Dunizuni, often dues with 50+ gold trying to fast 9 or sell his entire board to hit 3 star 5 costs, the exact mindset needed to cluch out a checkmate victory.

With no real successful tournaments to this point, this popular Korean streamer finally got a tournament win on his resume, going 1st at the East Asian Finals. Dunizuni is someone who could be an underdog to win the whole thing or someone who could go 32nd. Let’s hope for the former.

🇰🇷 Elmumu

Set 10 AVP: 4.21 | Set 10 Top 4: 57.14% | Set 10 1st/8th: 14.29%

Consistent KR challenger, Elmumu, entered his first regionals this set. Suprisingly, he popped off after not going bot 4 a single game on day 1. After finishing 1st in overall points, Elmumu is hoping to continue that consistency on the worlds stage.

🇰🇷 Yugggol

Set 10 AVP: 3.83 | Set 10 Top 4: 61.9% | Set 10 1st/8th: 19.05%

This largely unknown player is also our youngest player at worlds. Born in 2006, Yugggol placed 3rd at the East Asian Finals. With an extremely low 1st place rate, this young man plays tempo top 4 style in almost every game, something good for securing final lobby, but not great for securing that checkmate win.

Thank you to Yu Bin for his help with the Korean Worlds representatives. Follow them on X!

REGION SPOTLIGHT

🇯🇵 Japan - Taro

Taro is always competing for the top of Japan's ranking and is strong enough to compete for the title (no pun intended). He is a very logical player who looks back on his play and attempts to get better each and every day.

Taro plays very flexible and understands the strong situation of the current patch. He plays various comps depending on the situation of augments and items. He is very focused on fundamentals like scouting and finding out what pieces the players around him want.

🇯🇵 Maii

Set 10 AVP: 3.84 | Set 10 Top 4: 54.84% | Set 10 1st/8th: 19.35%

A former professional Wild Rift player, Maii is new to TFT. Do not underestimate them. Maii, is a tempo player, slamming items from the beginning and leveling aggressively. They play flexibly according to the situation rather than deciding on the composition early on, maintaining board strength throughtout the game.

🇯🇵 kes

Set 10 AVP: 3.24 | Set 10 Top 4: 80% | Set 10 1st/8th: 12%

Kes is a player with a high level of understanding of the game. Flexability is the name of his game, making early 2 stars and slamming items to push tempo. His 80% top 4 rate and only 12% 1/8th rate, tells you all you should need to know. Kes plays for 4th and can get there nearly every time in a competitive setting.

Thank you to Kimi for their help with the Japaneese Worlds representatives. Follow them on X!
