Magic: The Gathering

Following the recent announcement of the return of the Pro Tour, Wizards of the Coast, in partnership with renowned esports company ESL Australia, is providing even more local opportunities to play competitive Magic: The Gathering (MTG) in the ANZ region, with the return of the MTG Arena ESL ANZ Champs tournament, announced today.

The Winter season of MTG Arena ESL ANZ Champs is the second series of local MTG Arena esports, beginning 7 May with four Qualifier weekends and culminating in the Season Finals on 26 June. As with the previous season, the tournament will feature a range of monetary, and physical prizes. There will also be opportunities to win TCG prizes through engaging with social content and live streams.

Each Qualifier will have up to seven rounds of Swiss Stage on the Saturday followed by a cut to the Top 8. The Top 2 players at the end of a single-elimination bracket on Sunday will qualify for the Season Finals. If a player has already qualified for the Season Finals, their place will be passed down to the next eligible player. TCG prizes are up for grabs at each round and already qualified players are encouraged to play in multiple events! 

  • 1st Open Qualifier – 7 and 8 May
  • 2nd Open Qualifier – 21 and 22 May
  • 3rd Open Qualifier – 4 and 5 June
  • 4th Open Qualifier – 18 and 19 June
  • Season Finals – 26 June
