TFT Study Hall TFT Academy

In this episode special, Dishsoap and Frodan are joined by special guest Kurumx, two-time TFT Worlds finalist the morning after Dishsoap's 2nd place finals run at the Tactician Cup #2. We recap the tournament meta with fresh insight from the two competitors while looking forward to the next patch. This week's fundamental discussion covers Itemization 101! When should you be slamming (or not slamming) your early-game items? How do you evaluate item augment? Is taking Spatulas from carousels bait? When should you be taking items for yourself or denying your opponents? We probably yapped a little too long on this one....and we still barely scratched the surface.

This episode comes in hot as Frodan and Dishsoap discuss the new 14.10b Patch 1 hour before it launches.

We dive into the meta and ask the hard questions -- are the 1-cost Garen and Kobuko really the strongest Hero Augments?

This week's fundamental discussion attempts to answer "How to Play Strongest Board", a subject that even top players struggle to execute (and explain).

How do you evaluate when 1 unit is better than the other? Are there heuristics or rules that top players like Dishsoap follow? And how do you identify ways to cap your board higher?

Our fundamental topic this week, Frodan and Dishsoap dive into how to manage your economy in TFT. When should you sell vs hold units? When can you push levels and sacrifice interest? How do you evaluate econ augments? And do you always make gold Stage 1? Plus, we start with meta changes since the last episode, cover some of our favorite new items, and answer some common questions like whether backline Sage Sylas is fake.

In our very first episode of TFT Study Hall, Frodan and Dishsoap catchup on the tournament meta that happened this past weekend at the Americas Tactician Cup #1 where Dishsoap placed top 4. We preview the upcoming 14.9 patch with some light predictions. And we dive into the core fundamental skill of how we approach picking augments.
