Nielsen took the Qualifier Weekends seriously and "put in an amount of preparation like I would for a Regional Championship.
This made it feel a lot more achievable."
Also I realized that you only need 5-6 wins on Day 2 to get there because of the leaderboard. With just 32 players and a huge prize pool, it certainly feels like it. Not only is it a way to qualify directly for the Pro Tour, it also gives an invite to the Arena Championship, a tournament that's almost like a mini Worlds. Simon Nielsen, who reached seven wins at the November Qualifier Weekend, explained that despite the difficulty of spiking a top performance at a Qualifier Weekend, the effort is worth it: "The payoff is through the roof. This will be high-level Magic featuring some of the best players in the world, tackling a fresh Constructed format! Given the whole list of invited players, available on MTG Melee, I'm hyped to watch the event.
World Champion and Faerie Mastermind Yuta Takahashi. 2020-21 Magic Pro League competitor Ondřej Stráský. Two-time Grand Prix champion Simon Nielsen. Kaldheim Championship Top 8 competitor Noriyuki Mori. Pro Tour champion Jan-Moritz "JMM" Merkel. Zendikar Rising Championship Top 8 competitor Luca Magni. Pro Tour Phyrexia finalist Benton Madsen. Former Rivals league member Matti Kuisma. Innistrad Championship winner Yuuki Ichikawa. An invitation to the Arena Championship is a big achievement, and the payoff is worth it.ĭrawn in by a prize pool of well over $6,000 per player, which is more than a Pro Tour, the list of qualified players for Arena Championship 2 is stacked with talent, featuring numerous Magic superstars. To subsequently qualify for the Arena Championship, they need to reach seven wins on Day One of a Qualifier Weekend, followed by a good performance on Day Two. To earn a spot in these monthly Qualifier Weekends, as described in more detail on the MTG Arena Premier Play page, a player first needs to show their skills by placing highly at Qualifier Play-In events, an Arena Open, or the Mythic ladder.
