Teamfight Tactics (TFT) – Duplicate Teams
Duplicate Teams
Whenever there’s an odd number of remaining players (seven, five, or three) in a PvP round, a random player’s team is duplicated to ensure an even number of round participants. The duplicate team can match up against anyone except the team it copied. If it wins the round, it deals damage to its opponent as if it were a real team. If it loses, nothing happens because it vanishes at the end of the round anyway.
Once the match is down to three players, the highest-health player always faces off against a duplicate team and the other two players always fight each other. This gives the two lower-positioned players more time to build up their teams without being crushed by the player in the lead, making the eventual duel for first place more competitive.
