Mythic Championship III is the first Mythic Championship to be played on MTG Arena, instead of on tabletop. It takes place on June 21-23, 2019 in Mandalay Bay Convention Center at Las Vegas, Nevada, United States.[1][2]
Contestants
The tournament is made up of 32 members of the MPL and 36 Challengers. Magic MPL Spark Split Division winners Brad Nelson, Rei Sato, Brian Braun-Duin, and Ken Yukuhiro earned automatic advancement to Day Two.
Challengers
Four challenger positions were awarded to the three winners of Pro Tour 25th Anniversary —Allen Wu, Ben Hull, and Gregory Orange— and the winner of Pro Tour Guilds of Ravnica — Andrew Elenbogen. Sixteen challengers were selected in the Mythic Championship Qualifier Weekend on May 25–26. The last sixteen slots were discretionary slots, selected with a greater emphasis on diversity.[3][4] The invites were given to players that spanned many different categories. They included three Hall of Famers (Luis Scott-Vargas, Kai Budde, Raphael Levy), successful Magic pros (Wyatt Darby, Ondrej Strasky, Noah Walker), prominent community members, streamers, and popular Hearthstone streamers that had made the jump to MTG Arena.[5]
Format
The format across all three days is Traditional Standard Best-of-Three Constructed.
Day One
Players battle it out in Modified Swiss in up to eight rounds. Players who earned six wins automatically advanced to Day Two. Players who lost four matches were eliminated.
