Alpha Gaming player Ge ‘Huanmie’ Wuxin has won the Teamfight Tactics Paris Open, the game’s biggest esports event of the year.
Featuring a total of 768 competitors, an increase over last year’s 512 tally at the TFT Macao Open, Huanmie secured the trophy in the fifth game of the finals lobby.
Utilising a ‘Checkmate’ format, the eight finalists vied to gain a total of 20 points to place the lobby in ‘check’. The player then needed to win a game in the lobby to be crowned champion. Interestingly, four players all placed the lobby in check on game four, meaning that game five could have been won by half of the lobby.
