2020 Partial Season Schedule

The first two Mythic Point Challenges will take place on:

All Mythic Qualifiers above are Standard Constructed format best-of-three.

Players qualify based on being in the Top 1,200 in Mythic Ranking at the conclusion of the prior month's ranked season. Mythic Point Challenges will mirror the structure of Mythic Qualifiers, except players compete until they achieve 10 wins or 3 losses. 200 gems will be awarded to each player for each match win they earn in the event by the time their event ends.

Just like a Mythic Qualifier, Mythic Point Challenges will provide Mythic Points to players based on their match wins, with points being awarded starting at their fifth win.

These are new events and their specifics may change—such as how many players are qualified to compete, or how many wins or losses a player needs before their event ends. We'll be keeping a close eye on how this fits into our competitive system and make any changes we need to.
