North American Championship

September 27th and 28th at Hilton Los Angeles Airport, Los Angeles, CA.

On Day 1, 128 players will be participating in eight (8) best of 1 Swiss Rounds, where Deck A will be used for Rounds 1 - 4 and Deck B will be used for Rounds 5 - 8. The Top 16 players will move onto Day 2, where the format will be 2 Deck Double Elimination. 

There will be 88 players from Local Qualifiers, 32 players from Materia Cups, and 4 players from the from the Last Chance Qualifier on the first day of the event.

We will continue to extend an invitation to the winner of the North American Championship to the following year’s event. This year, we’d like to additionally invite our top three North American players from the 2024 World Championship.

This year's invited players are:
2024 North American Champion - Torrey K. 

Top 3 NA Players from 2024 World Championship - KP, Chris L., and Johnathan G.

These players may play throughout the Competitive Season; however, their North American Championship qualification will pass down at Materia Cups and Local Qualifiers.
