The APAC League is an official Magic: The Gathering league exclusive to the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region played in 2022.[1]
Format[ | ]
Players could participate in five APAC League events, with three events that fed into a Championship at the end of the year.[2] The qualifiers took place during Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty, Streets of New Capenna, and Dominaria United seasons.
Participating in each qualifier throughout the year gives players the opportunity to scale the ranks — the top two players from each qualifier earn an invite to the Championship event at the end of the year.
APAC League 2022 qualifier events could be held in a variety of formats — including Standard, Booster Draft, Sealed Deck — and featured a different promotional card throughout the year
Promos[ | ]
Similar to the promos connected to the 2021 APAC Store Challenger Series, the League promos of 2022 celebrated the Chinese New Year. This time the Year of the Tiger.[3] This was done again in 2023 for the Year of the Rabbit and became a regular occurrence in 2024 for the Year of the Dragon.[4][5]
