Magic Community Reacts to $750K Reduction in World Championship Prize Pool – ARCHIVE

by Trent Murray

The competitive community for Magic: The Gathering has taken to social media to express frustration over a significant reduction in the prize pool for the game’s upcoming World Championship. The event will have a total prize pool of $250K USD, down from the previous championship’s $1M. A previous article published by Wizards of the Coast did confirm a $1M prize pool for this upcoming World Championship as well.

Last month, Wizards of the Coast announced that it would be eliminating its current esports structure including the Magic Pro League. 

Wizards of the Coast has not yet revealed any details regarding the future of official, organized competition for Magic.

According to May’s announcement, the Magic Pro League will play out a final 2021-2022 season culminating in another World Championship with a $250K prize pool.
