March - Update
We’d like to start this update by thanking you all for your patience. We have received so many messages of encouragement since we announced we are running the RCs, as well as many questions on when and where the first one will be. Understandably so, but we wanted to wait to announce the venue and date when we were 100% sure we had the right venue for the event booked.
We appreciate your enthusiasm and we are incredibly excited to see you all in Lille, at the Grand Palais, on the weekend of 8-10 November 2024.
Lille is a venue close to our heart, where we have hosted many successful events in the past and one that we consider home. What better place to kick off the European Magic Series Regional Championships with?!
In the weeks and months to come, we will share with you the plans we have for side events and other fun activities we have in mind for that weekend. We are in touch with several vendors and partners, so we will start announcing them, as soon as we finalize those agreements.
More info on Friday- Sunday side events and more will come as we get closer to the event.
Our next update will be an event locator for the RCQs.
To participate in the Regional Championships, you need to qualify and we’ve had an amazing response from WPN stores. We are keen on sharing where the RCQs will be taking place and are planning on having that ready for you! This update will come sometime in April.
We are also planning on announcing Destination Qualifiers very soon.
We are working with several tournament organizers and are excited to share that information with you and invite you to their events!
We here at tournamentcenter would like to thank you again, for making our return to the Magic: the Gathering scene so special and exciting. We cannot wait to see you all in Lille, November 8th-10th!
