DreamHack RCQs are WPN store Qualifiers that earn you an invitation into the Regional Championship at a DreamHack Magic .
There are several ways to qualify for the Regional Championship. The best option is, of course, playing at your local WPN store.
We’ll have fun for everyone, but if you’re main goal is playing in the $130,000 Regional Championship, we’ll have Last Chance Qualifiers all day Friday.
LCQs run from 10AM to 5PM.
They launch every 32 people.
Each LCQ is five rounds, single-elimination.
You can play either the RC format or Sealed Deck with Top 8 Draft.
For San Diego, that means Standard Constructed or Phyrexia: All Will Be One Limited.
Decklists are required.
Congratulations on Qualifying for DreamHack Regional Championship.
