Masters Tour Online: Madrid is over! It was the sixth Masters Tour event of 2020. Just like the last couple of Masters Tours, this was also online-only because of the current global pandemic situation.
Over 300 skilled players from around the world, who qualified through tournaments or high ladder finishes, fought for their share of $500,000 prize pool ($250,000 base, which was doubled thanks to the sales of the Dragon Masters Bundle), and a chance to qualify for the next Grandmasters season, but only 8 of them qualified to the final day of play-offs. You can find all of their deck lists and some statistics below!
