The Magic: the Gathering 2022 World Championship, or Magic World Championship XXVIII, is the 28th Magic World Championship and will be held October 28-30, 2022 in Las Vegas, USA and concludes the 2021–22 Players Tour Season. It will feature a prize pool of $250,000.[1]
Description
The 2022 World Championship will be part of Magic 30, a convention celebrating three decades of Magic: The Gathering.[2]
It will be a 32-player event, up from 16 players in previous years.
The Top 4 finishers receive invites to all three Pro Tours in the 2022–23 Pro Tour Season.[3]
Qualification
- The 2021 Magic: The Gathering World Champion
- Finishing in the Top 6 of any 2021-22 Championship event—the Innistrad Championship, Neon Dynasty Championship, or New Capenna Championship.
- Becoming one of five (5) MPL or Rivals players with the most World Championship Qualifying Points during the 2021-22 Season.
- Becoming one of eight (8) non-MPL and non-Rivals players (Challengers) with the most World Championship Qualifying Points during the 2021-22 Season.
- Receiving an at-large invitation, eligible to all players within and outside of the leagues, through earning the most World Championship Qualifying Points during the 2021-22 Season to ensure a total of thirty-two (32) competitors for Magic World Championship XXVIII.[4][5]
Players that earned invitation through a Top 6 finish in a Championship did not create pass-down invitations by finishing in the Top 6 in multiple events, and did not factor into at-large invitations based on WQCPs. Any player with multiple qualifications for the World Championship would create an at-large invitation.
