AD: What was winning your first TFT Fight Night like? How did you prepare?

Jinxed: Winning my first TFT Fight Night was amazing. I felt really happy and proud. It was such good exposure for myself, while at the same time giving me confidence that I can compete with the best. I did nothing special to prepare, outside of my normal playing as much as I can, followed by studying good streamers and what the top compositions to play are.

AD: Going into this upcoming Fight Night as the champ, what has changed in preparation for this event?

Jinxed: Again I haven't changed much to prepare. I'm just staying focused on playing as much as I can play, and keeping up to date with the meta as it can evolve from day to day.

AD: What got you into TFT in the first place? What games were you playing before?

Jinxed: What got me into TFT was Dota Auto Chess. When I first touched DAC I got hooked right away. I was a League of Legends player previously so the transition to TFT made sense.

AD: How comfortable do you feel with the latest changes (Neeko’s Help, loot system rework, buffs/nerfs)?

Jinxed: I feel pretty comfortable overall with the changes, but there has been a small shift in meta with a new composition arising that includes Twisted Fate, so I'm practicing to be comfortable with all variations of it.

AD: What aspect about yourself would you say is your greatest strength in regards to your success in TFT?

Jinxed: I think my greatest aspect is the will to study, and patience. I love studying things in detail so watching other people stream and how they play has a great impact on my performance. My patience allows me to keep practicing day after day, even when having bad days.

AD: For aspiring newcomers to competitive play, what advice can you give them?

Jinxed: I would say that competitive TFT play is a little difference from regular grinding the ladder. In ladder games you just want to place top 4 consistently, where as for competitive play, in the final lobbies you have to sometimes go for 1st place finishes, and that requires you to play, almost force, the best composition for the meta. So knowing which composition is currently the strongest, and all the different ways you can transition into it would be the biggest help going into competitive TFT.
