2018 MAGIC ONLINE CHAMPIONSHIP

The Magic Online Championship will be a 24-player Magic Online tournament held in person and will have a total prize pool of $200,000.00 USD. Full event details, including the location and formats, will be released by Wizards of the Coast later in 2018. The following players are invited to the Magic Online Championship:

The defending Magic Online Champion

The top two finishers from each of the four MOCS Playoff Events

The winner of each of the eight MOCS Open Events

The top players in the MOCS Leaderboard will fill remaining slots until 24 invitations have been issued. Players receiving invitations in this way will also receive an invite to the first Pro Tour London, and the Pro Tour Challenge event at that Pro Tour.

After 24 invitations have been issued, if a player holds multiple invitations, becomes ineligible, or is otherwise unable to attend the Magic Online Championship, then players will continue to be invited to the Magic Online Championship from the top of the MOCS Leaderboard until 24 unique players have been invited. Players invited in this way will not receive invites to a Pro Tour or Pro Tour Challenge.

In the event of a tie in the MOCS Leaderboard to qualify for the Magic Online Championship, the following tiebreakers will be used:

Most MOCS Playoff Events in which the player finished in 1st–8th place Most match wins in a single MOCS Playoff Event Most MOCS Playoff Events in which the player competed Most MOCS Monthly Events in which the player had 6 or more match wins Most match wins in a single MOCS Monthly Event Most MOCS Monthly Events in which the player competed Most Qualifier Points earned during 2018 season.

The winner of the Magic Online Championship becomes the Magic Online Champion and receives Platinum status in the Pro Player Club (as if that player had reached the minimum number of Professional Points at the Magic Online Championship to be promoted to Platinum level).
