Fandom Legends
- For other uses, see Legends (disambiguation).
Fandom Legends was a sponsored weekly Magic tournament series that was played on MTG Arena in 2019.[1]
Fandom, formerly Wikia, is a for-profit wiki hosting service. After purchasing Curse Media in December 2018, they also acquired Curse Trials, a tournament series that featured PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, Hearthstone, and Overwatch. It was renamed Fandom Legends and hosted weekly Smash Ultimate and MTG Arena tournaments on Twitch at twitch.tv/fandom.
Fandom started their weekly $4,000 MTG Arena tournaments in April 2019, to further engage the communities of the game that the company had properties in.[1] Their goal was to host these tournaments weekly, every Thursday, and potentially support qualifier tournaments so anyone could qualify to play in them. The tournament series would initially remain invite-only because of the lack of a spectator mode in MTG Arena. Fandom had to rely on players’ streams to provide coverage of the events. The 16 players invited to each event were a mix of Magic Pro League members and streamers.
The last Fandom Legends tournament was held on October 17, 2019.
