What is Magic Esports and How is the League Formatted?

Magic: the Gathering has a long and storied history of incredible professional play. Countless tournaments have memorable moments that players still discuss to this day. Those tournaments however were all in person and in paper events. With the release of Magic Arena, the traditional competitive MTG experience vastly changed. As MTGA grew more and more popular, it was only a matter of time that Wizards decided to go all in on the virtual version of their card game. In 2019, Wizards of the Coast announced the creation of an official Magic Esports scene.
