In the first season of Organized Play for Eternal, thousands of players competed in a series of qualifier tournaments that culminated in crowning Adreus as the first ever Eternal World Champion. With the release of The Flame of Xulta, the road to the 2020 Eternal World Championship begins, with a $100,000+ prize pool up for grabs!

There are some important format and structural changes coming in the second season of Eternal Organized Play. Here’s what you need to know:

Eternal Championship Qualifiers (ECQs) return in a series of nine tournaments that qualify players for the Eternal World Championship!

Like last season, each ECQ consists of two stages: the Qualifiers (open to all players) and the Finals (the Top 64 players emerging from the Qualifiers).

The winner of the Finals receives an invitation to the 2020 Eternal World Championship.

The first ECQ of the 2020 season will take place November 16-17 and use the updated Expedition format: The Flame of Xulta and cards found in Draft Packs will be legal for play.

Our second ECQ will take place December 14-15 and use the Throne format, as played in Ranked.
