Whether you’re bringing an unconventional off-meta deck or testing your ladder-honed instincts, you’ll face six rounds of Swiss-style matches. The top 16 players advance to a single-elimination bracket, and anyone finishing with a 5-1 record or better earns qualification for the Golden Gauntlet World Championship in November.
Registration for the first event opens on July 31st and operates on a first-come, first-served basis. Additional qualifiers for the Americas and EU/Eastern US regions will follow in September and October, with the grand finale set for November 8th. Over 300 competitors will participate in the global championship, featuring a 9-round Swiss stage followed by a top 16 playoff bracket to determine the ultimate winner.
Second Dinner has teamed up with Game On Events to host the series, treating it as a celebration of community-driven competition. Even if you’re not participating, you can catch the action live on Twitch and YouTube.
