Competing in MTG Arena, Mythic Championship V is being streamed from Oct. 18 at 11am CT to Oct. 20 on Magic’s Twitch channel. 

This is the fifth largest tournament of the year, with only three more Mythic Championships on the schedule before Worlds. There’s a lot on the line for the 32 Magic Pro League (MPL) players competing this weekend.

After the season is over, the MPL will be cut to 24 players with only the top 16 (ranked by Mythic Points) having a secure seat. In addition, whoever wins MCV gets an automatic invite to the Magic Worlds Championship. 

For the 36 Challengers competing at MCV, earning Mythic Points could provide a chance to get into the Rivals League—giving them a shot of earning a seat in the MPL next season.

  • First place: 50 Mythic Points
  • Second place: 42 Mythic Points
  • Third to fourth: 37 Mythic Points
  • Fifth to eight: 32 Mythic Points
  • Nine to 16: 24 Mythic Points
  • 17 to 28: 17 Mythic Points
  • 29 to 68: 11 Mythic Points

In addition to Mythic Points, every player at MCV has a chance to earn a piece of the $750,000 prize pool.

  • First place: $100,000
  • Second place: $50,000
  • Third place: $30,000
