The Race is set! AZMagicPlayers.com 2015 Legacy Summer Champs Preview

With the final Spotlight Event in the books, we are now looking at the last open Legacy event of the year – Summer Champs at Desert Sky Games!

For many players, this is the last shot to earn their berth for the Legacy Series Masters. So at the conclusion at Summer Champs, the following will earn their qualification for the Legacy Series Masters:

  • The Winner of the 2015 Legacy Spring Championship
  • The Winner of the 2015 Legacy Summer Championship
  • Players with three or more 2015 Legacy Series Top 8s (Classics and/or Championships)
  • The Top 16 Players in the Points Leaderboard who are not already qualified
If the cut were made today, here is who you would see competing:
  • Alex Tamblyn
  • Bryan Kinsman
  • Bryan Rockenbach
  • Devin Jones
  • Donald Kastner
  • Gary Wong
  • Kyle Fader
  • Kyle Henriksen
  • Matthew Beverly
  • Matthew Shaffer
  • Nathan Cardinell
  • Nohea Slocum
  • Paul Cuillier
  • Phimus Pan
  • Sam Wolloch
  • Tony Murata
  • William Leach
  • Zach McKeown

Throughout 2015, these players have put in a lot of time to learn and master the Legacy format, so the Legacy Series Masters, despite it being a relatively small field, should be a tough one. No free wins here!

These two players have earned two Top 8s but fall outside of the Top 16. With a Top 8 at the Summer Championships, they can earn their slot in September!

  • Justin Wertz
  • Raymond Maglunog

These players all have 10 or more Legacy Series Points. With a strong finish at the Summer Championships, they too can earn a slot for our September event!

  • Eddie Caudill
  • Josh Granado
  • PJ Melies
  • Raymond Maglunog
  • Justin Wertz
  • Jeff Everett
  • Truett Kueck
  • Joseph Horen
  • Nick Gil

Lastly – with a win, anybody can earn their spot for Legacy Series Masters! Our other champion this year, Kyle Fader, played in exactly one event – the one he won. So don’t doubt yourself if you haven’t played Legacy all year. This is your chance.

We’ll see you there!
