Winners will be rewarded with Go Magic courses and memberships. Register at https://online-go.com/tournament/108614 and enjoy your games, magicians!

3. Open call for artists! We're looking for people who wish to draw emojis for the Go Magic Discord server. We have some ideas in mind, but we'll be open to yours!
