EPTMaestros of the Game is coming back with a second edition, we know you guys loved the 1st one and we're super excited to confirm we're going through with the second edition, all throughout June !
This time around we upgraded to a "proper" show venue in Paris called La Bellevilloise, with 320 seats all sold at the time i'm writing this post !
As with the 1st one, MoG2 will be a hybrid Online/Offline event but this time instead of inviting the whole field of players, we're hosting qualifiers to add 8 players to the top 16 of the previous season.
