Riot Games just announced Convergence Fest, a three-day event running December 11-13 in Las Vegas that combines two of its competitive circuits under one roof. The event will feature the TFT Vegas Open alongside the Riftbound North American Regional Championship, marking the first time Riot has bundled a digital auto-battler tournament with a physical trading card game competition at the same venue.
What Convergence Fest actually is
The event pairs two very different competitive formats. Teamfight Tactics, Riot’s popular auto-chess spinoff, has held Vegas Opens before. Previous editions attracted substantial player turnout with prize pools in the $300K to $308K range.
Riftbound is the newer piece of the puzzle. It’s a physical trading card game featuring champions and lore from the League of Legends universe, published in English by UVS Games. Recent qualifying events for Riftbound have drawn over 1,600 competitors, which is a strong signal for a relatively young competitive circuit.
The agenda reportedly includes gameplay, panels, and tournaments centered around both titles. Fan First tickets are available through Riot’s official site, though the exact venue within Las Vegas hasn’t been confirmed yet.
