I just reached Challenger rank for the first time this set, after being stuck in GM for a long time following my graduation from Teamfight Tactics with mentr in set 13! Through the program, I definitely improved as a player and gained invaluable insights into the game and the competitive scene, experiences I would not have had without this opportunity. It might not seem like it, but Teamfight Tactics with mentr offers incredible value, especially when you consider the cost per coaching session. It is definitely a great deal for anyone looking to level up their TFT game. I highly recommend it to anyone passionate about TFT who wants to learn more and improve. It is an even better fit for those who care about their rank and are willing to put in the time and effort. Teamfight Tactics with mentr will be the home that nurtures the next generation of NA talent!

Teamfight Tactics with mentr was the first time I have paid for coaching so I was not sure how helpful the program would be for me. Now that the program has ended, I can confidently say I have improved a lot and picked up fundamental skills that I can use through future sets. Having a top ranked player look over my games and evaluate my decisions was extremely helpful and introduced me to concepts I had never even thought of. One benefit of this program over a single coaching session was that my mentor and I met multiple times a week so we could track my growth and make sure that I had fully absorbed topics we had covered. Before Teamfight Tactics with mentr, I had barely reached Master in Set 10 and Set 12. This set, I reached Master by the 2nd patch and GM a couple patches later. I am still trying to push for Challenger before the end of the set, which is something I never imagined myself doing. I highly recommend this program to anyone interested in improving at TFT. My only recommendations to new mentees are to take notes and join the group events like VOD Reviews and Tournaments. I have met some really cool people from joining those and it has been a really fun and educational journey.

As someone who has never done any form of coaching I think this program was probably the best way I could experience it. Having several coaching sessions allowed my coach to tell what my main issues were and progressively move towards helping me remedy those mistakes. With how much I play TFT on my own, and it being my primary game, I found the price to be fair, since it was not only the sessions with my coach, but also the group VOD review sessions where I met a few of the other players, and have now formed a separate study group server. That server, as someone who has zero friends who play TFT at a high level, is a great thing to come out of the program. For anyone who really wanted to become great at the game, I would recommend the program to them. I think I personally improved and my LP shows it. I had never broken 100 LP Masters and this set I peaked 500LP. Going up 400 LP over one season is quite a leap. But you really have to put your best foot forward to see the effect these sessions can have!

Teamfight Tactics with mentr was a really interesting experience that I would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone trying to improve at TFT. However, this is a program that requires a lot out of you as the mentee. The resources you have from Teamfight Tactics with mentr are extremely helpful if you want to improve, but you need to put the time in to get better at the game and communicate with your mentor to find out what you need to be working on and what is going well. Having 14 weeks to work together with a really, really good TFT player allows you to restructure your approach to TFT by helping you improve in every aspect of the game, positioning, econ, item management, line selection, etc. For me personally, I was able to climb approximately 200 LP over my peak and definitely could have gone higher had I been a little more invested in this set. Would recommend this program to anyone that wants to get better at TFT!

If you have been thinking about getting coaching for a while and you feel like you are hard stuck at your LP, Teamfight Tactics with mentr could be a great fit. While it is not cheap, you get a lot of value for the money, and most importantly a consistent coach who can help understand your strengths, playstyle, and bad habits that need to be broken. Improvement still will not come overnight, but with your dedication and a supportive coach, you will be able to take the steps towards rewiring your brain to play stronger TFT. If you just do not know why you cannot climb, then strongly consider Teamfight Tactics with mentr. My key points: it can be hard to know what you are doing wrong, and coaching is one of the most expedient ways to get that. It is great to develop a rapport with your coach, and this program is kind of like a personal trainer at the gym. Now that you have invested the money, you are more likely to actually commit to your own improvement. Having a consistent coach adds value above and beyond the 1-2 VOD reviews you might normally do. While it is not cheap, the cost per session is on par with standard coaching, and the program adds additional value through community, tournaments, and consistent support from a dedicated coach who wants to see you improve.

Having played TFT since set 3, Teamfight Tactics with mentr reignited my competitive enjoyment for the game and Set 13 has genuinely been the most TFT I have ever played. The program succeeds at fostering a positive learning community that mimics a professional study group. In terms of results, I worked closely with my mentor fixing bad habits, studying the meta and enhancing my fundamentals. As of writing, I have already surpassed my peak rank across all my sets of playing. The mid and end of set tournaments are also tons of fun and huge competitive motivators throughout the set.
