ChannelFireball Events Exclusive Global Partnership for Grand Prix

“As our goal is to increase the consistency and quality of the player experience at Grand Prix events globally, last year we invited various companies to submit proposals on delivering high-quality Grand Prix in various regions across the world.

The outcome of this process is that, starting in 2018, ChannelFireball Events (CFBE) will be Wizards of the Coast’s exclusive global partner to run all Grand Prix. CFBE is a company newly formed by ChannelFireball and Siteline Productions.
