The infamous Teamfight Tactics Mortdog Madness four-vs-four tournament returns in Neon Nights during the “for fun” patch, showcasing four European teams against four North American teams.
Taking place on May 14 and 15, the Neon Nights Mortdog Madness tournament contained a total of 32 EMEA and NA players. Each region brought four teams, led by a team captain, for a total of eight teams. All games were played on Patch 12.9, the Neon Nights “for fun” patch, showcasing dragon eggs on each player’s bench at the start of every game.
Every NA team battled against every EMEA team at least once during the first day of competition, with the top four teams picking their game five opponent. Only the top team from each region advanced to the second day of the TFT Mortdog Madness tournament.
