Rise of the Elements Invitational
The 16 players will be split into two groups to participate in a qualifier match to determine finalists for day 2. Each group will play five matches starting at 9 a.m. PST, with points being awarded to players based on their placement on the leaderboard. Players can also earn points from challenges, which are described as “alternate win conditions that grant extra points.” No further information has been disclosed about what types of challenges there will be.
Only 15 players have been announced so far, consisting of content creators itsHafu, Scarra, dogdog, Disguised Toast, Reckful, Kibler, SuperJJ, and Sologesang. In addition, becca, Keane, ik4rus, sasa, Rakin, Holythoth, and Duende will participate. G2 Lothar, Phreak, Ovilee, and LeTigress will serve as on-air broadcast talent for the tournament.

The top four players with the most points on the first day will then advance to the next. In total, eight players will compete in Day 2 until one contestant has earned three wins. The tournament will feature a $150,000 prize pool, with the winner receiving $15,000. The grand winner will also be given a custom Teamfight Tactics jacket, with a special lining that features their most loyal followers in the community.
There is no 2nd or 3rd place though, with all players that have made it to Day 2 earning $10,750. The players who were eliminated on Day 1 will receive $7,500 each as well.

This can be accomplished by simply watching the entirety of one game live on the League of Legends Esports YouTube channel.
