Rivals League
The Rivals League is an ongoing Magic Esports competition that will be introduced in 2020.[1] It is a stepping stone to the Magic Pro League (MPL).
Competitors, called Rivals, will make it into the MPL either through sustained success over the course of a season or through an new tournament called the MPL Gauntlet.
The Rivals League will consist of 46 players as follows:
- 1st–12th ranked digital players (not previously in the MPL)
- 1st–12th ranked tabletop players (not previously in the MPL)
- Bottom 12 players from the MPL Gauntlet
- The bottom 4 players from the previous MPL season
- 6 discretionary invites
Throughout the season, Rivals will receive invites to events, including Players Tour events and their own Rivals Mythic Qualifier and can earn up to $20,000 in appearance fees in addition to prizes earned at tournaments.
