Come to Frodan's stream at 12pm PDT to hear from the new Global Head of TFT Esports Bryce Blum!! #TFT #S18

twitch.tv/frodan

Bryce is a long time TFT afficionado and he took a break after the birth of his twin boys. He's now back with a vengeance!!

I’m going on stream with @Frodan in 1.5 hours (noon PT) to discuss my new role as the Global Head of @TFT Esports. Will cover my career, this new role, and all things TFT esports. Excited to dive in. Hope you can tune in!

M BACK BABY!!! As of last week, I’m the new Global Head of
@TFT
Esports at
@riotgames
. Words can’t properly express how excited I am to return to this game and community I love so much, with the opportunity to make things even bigger and better.

I took this job because I believe in the future of TFT. I know we’re going through a rough chapter, but TFT is still the best strategy game ever made. Our best days are undoubtedly ahead of us.

I want to hear from you.

I’ve already met with a bunch of community members throughout the world to hear their feedback, but I’m eager to cover as much ground as I can. If you’re a pro, streamer, organizer, etc please reach out.

I’m eager to incentivize TPC players to stay invested, create more opportunities in tier 2, invest in co-streams, make the competetft site epic & more.

It’s going to take me a beat to implement changes, but know I’ll be grinding to make it happen for you all asap. Stay tuned!

Last but not least, huge shout out to @RiotSherman. He’s been an incredible advocate for and steward of TFT Esports for the past 4 years. We wouldn’t be where we are today without him. Everyone in the scene, please give him some love!

Patch 18.4 Micro Patch #TFT #S18

@laurenwu.bsky.social Oct 7, 2026, 11:34 PM

I agree with Jonathon: Giving more color on what's going on behind the scenes doesn't mean the dev team is okay with Set 18 issues at all. I personally appreciate the candor. #TFT #S18

Definitely not going to minimize the experience, the patch is in a bad state. I do want to at least clarify that the intent here is not to say the team is *okay* with these issues, we aren't, just that we should do what we can to set expectations while things are still unstable.

@laurenwu.bsky.social Oct 7, 2026, 10:42 PM

I deleted a previous message about 18.4 B-Patch because Riot didn't update status.riotgames.com about it #TFT #S18

Ranked queues are currently down for 18.4 B-Patch and there's no public ETA for when queues will be back up

Why 18.4 was so buggy by Riot BlueVelvet #TFT #S18

tl;dr Patch 18.4 was shipped from the latest shared version of the game ("main") whereas previously they were creating each patch from the one before it. e.g., 18.2 was built from 18.1.

Multiple versions of the patch were floating around.

We’re disabling ranked while we clean up the current issues.

For some context on what happened... 18.4 was the first patch since Set 18 launched where we shipped from the latest shared version of the game (what we call main) whereas for the first few patches of the set we were creating each patch from the one before it, so 18.2 was built from 18.1. While that live line of release was happening everything after 18.4 (patches, Set 19, modes etc) were being built in main. That meant devs had to work twice as hard and ensure they were making the same fixes in multiple versions, which was a messy process and made it harder to keep everything in sync.

This sucks and we should have told you ahead of time that this patch had a higher chance of being unstable. Not communicating this risk is on us and this patch experience is on us. This was a big hump to get over for our release process and we should have shared what was going on.

Patches going forward will be deployed from main again like it was for years. This should ensure we get back to the consistent patch-to-patch experience you expect and we need to deliver.

There many bugs in the latest TFT Patch 18.4 so you may want to wait for B-Patch before playing #TFT #S18

I'm usually forgiving of mistakes but it's inexcusable they haven't fixed the process that leads to accidental reversions. This is the 2nd time it's happened this set.

DemacianRaptor : This patch launched with accidental reverts to 18.2B + INFINITE crashes, and lags. People are playing for snapshots and losing LP to crashing games. What the fuck are we even doing? how can every patch just get worse and worse?
@TFT

augments that supposed to be exclusive arent anymore, ahri randomally does 0 dmg, various lags and crashes, khazix and gromp reverted, wisps costing more than intended, min max from destiny no golden remover and more and more and more
