- The structure is the exact same as the first.

How the Arena Open Works
For day 1, you'll be eliminated as soon as you lose 3 games, gem prizing starts at 3 wins, and as mentioned before you can enter as many times as you want. If you want to get to day 2 though, you're going to need to hit 7 wins during the first day to unlock the day 2 ticket. The competition will be quite a bit more fierce on day 2 as the format switches over to best-of-three with sideboard, and you'll need to make it all the way up to at least 6 wins to earn any cash. You'll also need to make it to day 2 and get a single win if you want to break even on your investment.
- Day 1 Entry fee is 20000 Gold or 4000 Gems, multiple entries allowed within the time frame.
- Day 2 Entry fee is a Qualification Token, at most 1 entry/player.
