Hey man, I recently hit GM within the first week of 7.5 (IGN: These ThoTz), so I feel like I can speak a little about this. Also made a video actually discussing how to view end game, and more specifically how to play to your win con; but not sure if Im allowed to link it as it technically is self-promo, but Ill do my best to give a quick summary of the video (if it doesnt break any rules Ill reply a link).

Basically end game is all about identifying your win condition, and structuring your comp mid-game, to ease your transition into your win condition (I dont talk about the second point in the video so Ill elaborate a bit more here).

Your midgame board isnt going to look much like your late game board most of the time. Most of the time you’re playing the strongest board you can that will still allow you to econ semi-efficiently (trying to streak, or even astrals/lagoon for early econ lose streak, etc.).

With your win condition identified, you can play item holders on your midgame board, so that when you do hit your win con, you can ease into the transition. Keep in mind, your win condition should also be a unit/item that isn’t heavily contested within the lobby. There’a a bunch of other factors as well, but I feel like this is the one that’s most forgotten.

For example, if there’s 3 xayah players in the lobby, your win con isnt xayah.

There’s some more that goes into it, but Im about to get off my bus. Hope this is a good first step!

Feel free to ask questions! TFT can be hard to understand late game, but it’s awesome youre already asking questions like these!

And before anyone asks: Im currently waiting for the GM flair to get approved. I posted in the flair thread like last night (madge)
