Fandom Legends

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 that powers essential parts of the Magic community, including the MTG Wiki you are reading right now. When they purchased Curse Media in December 2018, Fandom also acquired Curse Trials, a tournament series that featured PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, Hearthstone, and Overwatch. It was renamed Fandom Legends and now hosts 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.
