Event Structure

This year’s World Championship will use the same format as last year’s championship: participants will compete in all three Eternal formats (Draft, Throne, and Expedition) over two days.

The event will begin with nine Swiss style rounds of best-of-three matches, with three matches in each format. After these rounds are completed, the players with the top four records* will advance to a single-elimination bracket where they will play best-of-five matches in the Expedition format.

* In the event of a tie for the top four spots, a single-elimination best-of-three playoff round will be held to determine the top four.
