Monday, May 21, 2007

The biggest Malaysian Magic: The Gathering tournament held every year is coming soon, and this year's edition will be held on the 1st and 2nd of September 2007. This is a very big thing, because there is no better avenue to step into the professional play arena.

This year's cash payouts for the nationals is USD 7,000. That's a whopping roughly RM23,000! There's products for consololation prizes, but that's not important. Here's a table for the cash payout.

Place	Payout
1st	USD 2,100
2nd	USD 1,600
3rd	USD 1,100
4th	USD 800
5th-6th	USD 400
7th-8th	USD 300
TOTAL	USD 7,000

But, the most important thing is, getting on the top 4 gets you an invitation to the World Championships 2007 and the chance to represent the country as the national team on the team event during the championship! Each National Team will receive the minimum prize of $3000 USD. However, since teams consist of 4 players, each player will receive $750. Minimum.
