Next week, the release of “Teamfight Tactics” is coming for League of Legends. The new mode LoL Auto Chess arrives with the fresh patch for LoL 9.13. When does it start and what can players look forward to?
What time is the release of Teamfight Tactics?
Update 25.6. 14:07: As GameStar reports, the release of LoL 9.13 and Teamfight Tactics is expected to happen overnight from June 25 to June 26.
However, Riot Games seems to want to start with smaller regions first and if that goes well, add larger ones like EU West, the region that includes Germany.
The exact time when Teamfight Tactics will arrive is still unclear.
Update 26.6. 8:42 AM: In the LoL client, the patch 9.13 is now available, along with a note on Teamfight Tactics, and the homepage for it is also up. But no game can be started yet.
According to new reports, EU West is set to start Wednesday afternoon or night according to US West Coast time (via lol-forum).
This means for us: Either overnight from Wednesday to Thursday, June 27 – or Thursday morning.
Original announcement:
When does Teamfight Tactics release? The new mode “Teamfight Tactics” comes with patch 9.13. It is expected on Wednesday, June 26.
Officially, it is stated that the update will come next week, and Wednesday is the patch day for League of Legends – so it is assumed that the new mode will go live then.
Currently, this is the problem: At the moment, some players can already start downloading and playing Teamfight Tactics, but it brings several problems:
- You need access to the LoL test server, which comes with conditions that only active LoL players fulfill.
- Moreover, the LoL server is simply not designed for such a rush, and the queues are extremely long.
Players are excited about LoL Patch 9.13
This is why Teamfight Tactics is currently so popular: There are 4 reasons:
- Players have been waiting for years for a new game from Riot Games, and Teamfight Tactics seems to address this need now.
- League of Legends is a huge brand, and many hundreds of thousands of players have a close relationship with the champs and associate many positive things with LoL and Riot Games.
- Additionally, the game follows the current trend of “Auto Chess”, and Valve’s rival has just launched such a mode with Dota Underlords. People are curious and want to see it.
- Through Twitch streamers, the anticipation is particularly high. They have already shown a lot of the game in the first few days and made their fans excited.
