MAG1 Season 2.5
Like Season 2, the MAG1 Open Season invited the top 16 players to compete across several weeks. The tournament was characterised by a host of new players entering the scene whilst some existing pros took a small break from the game. For the first time, the top 4 did not feature any [ 501] players, whilst rivalling region [201] qualified Flower Fairy, Agrypnocoma and Scion. Representing [401], Steelsane made a hero run for his region to compete in the semifinals for the first time. In the end, Scion and Agrypnocoma were strongest on the day, making their way to this season’s finals. Characteristic of the season, the finals broke another record, as all 7 games were needed to declare a winner. After a grueling match, Scion took the crown, joining Flower Fairy and n_sacco as a MAG1 champion. Though the Open Season saw a variety of gameplay and strategies during the group stages, Melters, Arclights and Factories were the most popular and defined the Finals.
