In the competitive scene of Teamfight Tactics, players often have to take bold risks to secure a win. DeliciousMilkGG did just that in his intense match against Amde. With only 15 HP remaining, Milk knew he had to make a move or risk being eliminated from the game.
Despite playing an astral composition with a 3-star Varus carry, Milk's chances of winning looked slim. But he made a high-risk, high-reward play by leveling up to 8 and finding a single Xayah. In a brilliant move, he sold his Ornn and transferred the Astral crest onto Xayah.

But it was Poky's daring move to level up to 9 and use his gold and champion duplicator to hit Zoe 3 that ultimately gave him the edge. After a thrilling and intense match, Poky emerged victorious over Chakki, proving that even in the most challenging situations, a smart and calculated decision can make all the difference in TFT esports.

Clear vs mD PockyGom
Just when everyone thought Pocky had the game in the bag, Clear pulled off an impressive victory with a clever strategy. Despite Pocky's 9 Ragewing composition and a 3-star Xayah carry, Clear went for a 6 Mirage 5 Cavalier comp with Daeja as his carry and made a key move by positioning his Yasuo to take out xayah early on in the fight.
This surprise move caught Pocky off-guard and secured the win for Clear. It's a great lesson in TFT that even the most dominant compositions can be taken down with the right strategy and positioning.

With just 25 HP left, Pocky knew he had to make a high-risk play to turn the game around. And boy did he deliver! Pocky managed to hit Soraka 3 at level 9, which is a legendary feat in the competitive TFT scene. Soraka's heal was enough to get Pocky back to full HP, and this gave him the time he needed to upgrade his whole board and adjust his comp.
In the final round, Pocky went all-in with Soraka as his solo front-line, and when she casted her spell, Kurumx's board was wiped out in seconds. It was a masterful display of strategy and execution by Pocky.

Tex was running a 4 Dragons comp with Ao Shin as his main carry, while My Paradise had a 7 Shimmerscale comp with Zoe as the star of the show.
