Go Magic League is a free regular tournament where you play one game per week, communicate with other league members, review your games, compete for prizes, and most importantly gain some practical experience. This tournament completes the magic cycle:
- Take interactive courses
- Solve Skill Tree problems
- Play more games! 👈
Your rank doesn’t matter for participation. Beginners can get as many benefits from the league as seasoned dan players, if not more.
Join and learn more details on the Leago platform page. 🙌
The next season is scheduled for May 2024.
