With four teams already locking their playoff spot, eight more teams are still in contention to keep their run in the TFT Esports World Cup alive.

TFT Esports World Cup Day 3 Preview – NA and EU trying to survive

Aurora Gaming vs MOUZ

Aurora Gaming hasn’t really been able to live up to the expectations set on the team. Despite assembling a strong roster, including the man of the moment, Ge “Huanmie” Wuxin, the team dropped to Virtus.pro in the upper bracket.

Now, they will face MOUZ, who will face their third Chinese team in the tournament, following AG.AL and JD Gaming. On paper, this matchup should be in favor of Aurora Gaming but it will come down to whether the team can allow Huanmie to actually carry the lobby.

On MOUZ’s side, it will have to be a team’s effort in trying to shut Huanmie down, forcing their main opponent into difficult pivots.

Nongshim RedForce vs ZETA DIVISION

Nongshim RedForce against ZETA DIVISION is one of the most intriguing opening matchups because of how familiar the two sides are with the wider APAC scene.

Both teams should come with a strong understanding of each other’s competitions. On paper, Nongshim RedForce should have a slight edge over the Japanese team, but the latter can make it up with a good enough strategy. Be aware of the top comps like Akali Reroll, Nami Space Groove, and Xayah Stargazer.

Team Vision vs T1

Team Vision has defied the expectations as China’s third seed. Despite not having insane individual players, they were able to beat Movistar KOI and also got a game off Flash Wolves.

In the lower bracket, they will have to face T1, who have had to fight both defending champions Weibo Gaming and Fnatic, both ending with a 2-1 score record.

T1 on paper has the edge on this matchup, given the presence of star players like Kim “sCsC” Seung-chul and Seo “Ssang Yeop” Sung-won. The only way I see Team Vision manage to pull off the upset is by being smarter with their strategies and holding key units from their opponents.

GodLike Esports vs MKOI or Team Vitality

GodLike Esports face Movistar KOI in an EMEA battle in the lower bracket. The latter ended up beating k3soju’s Team Vitality in a heated series that came down to one last fight.

GodLike Esports, similar to Team Vision, doesn’t rely on the strongest individual players but have proven their worth through stronger coordination. The game with Movistar KOI could be another close one, although GodLike could have a slight edge: it will be key to shut down Marc “Safo20” Safont, who has been the key player in the series against Team Vitality.

How the 4v4 Format Changes TFT

Unlike traditional TFT tournaments, where every player competes solely for their own placement, the Esports World Cup uses a 4v4 team format in which all four results contribute to the final score. Players all face each other, meaning that the teams will also face their own teammates,

Teams will usually designate one or two players to pursue the strongest high-cap compositions and attempt to win the lobby, while the others play uncontested reroll lines, hold key units away from opponents, or deliberately contest an enemy carry.

The goal is to avoid finishing in the bottom places if you’re playing reroll or contesting comps, while the main carries should look to attempt winning the lobby.

Item Removers can be used when teammates face each other to weaken a high-health player’s board and give a low-health teammate another round to survive.
