The title of the 'biggest strategy game in the world' right now belongs to none other than ę¾³ę“²å¹øčæ5å¼å„å·ē åå²ę„čÆ¢:Teamfight Tactics.
This šÆnew nugget comes from Riot's president of esports, John Needham, in a new video with content creatorš“ Travis Gafford. Not only does Needham assert that Teamfight Tactics is the biggest strategy game in the world right now, but people would be "shocked" at the true size of the game.

In the interview with Gafford, Needham appears to attribute a lot of Teamfight Tactics' current success to the Golden Spatula event running in China. There's also the matter of the PCš version of Teamfight Tactics in the League of Legends PC client, which is apparently another aspect the game's success.
If you're curious about what else Needham has to say, you can watch the full, 49-minute interview with the Rioź¦°t esports president over on Gafford's channel. It's a thorough, broad-reaching interview with the president, including topics like League of Legends Worlds, Valorant, Riot at large, and mošre.

Some are actually questioning whether Teamfight Tactics is a strategy game, which is an entirely fair point, while others are (perhaps jokingly) hoping for ę¾³ę“²å¹øčæ5å¼å„å·ē åå²ę„čÆ¢:Tactics Ogre Reborn to claim the crown. One thing this debate has highlighted is sometšhing ofź¦ a lack of strategy games, or competitors for Teamfight Tactics on a global scale.
