Popular streamer and former pro player William “Scarra” Li gave us our first dose of gameplay footage from Teamfight Tactics, the highly anticipated auto-battler gamemode coming to League of Legends.













In the video, we see a full game that Scarra played when he was invited to Riot as a play-tester for TFT. He provides commentary and even breaks down some of the mechanics and champion abilities.





The game starts by loading you in along with seven others, then has you pick from a set amount of champions to build a team comp with strategic synergy that suits your preferred playstyle. From there, your army will engage the opponents in battle and perform actions automatically. You can spend gold earned after each round to strengthen your fleet, and choose your strongest fighters to participate in occasional special events. The last team standing wins.

The community is so excited for this gamemode that they've already created a ton of resources for it. The most noteworthy ones are a live info spreadsheet made by ex-pro Mike "Wickd" Petersen, a competitive community, and a stats website.





Riot plans to ship Teamfight Tactics onto the PBE on June 18 and you can even access it if you don’t have access to a PBE account. Until then, keep an eye out for more gameplay videos from other influencers or check out this AMA by the game’s UX lead, Ed “SapMagic” Altorfer to learn more.
