Europe postponing events as well for public safety.
Every year, we at KONAMI take great pleasure in providing Premier Events to bring together fans from all over the world to share their passion for the Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG. However, we also place the health and safety of our players, fans and staff as our highest priority. In light of the developing situation relating to COVID-19 (previously known as “2019 novel coronavirus”), we have decided to postpone WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP QUALIFIER REGIONAL 2020 Events taking place before 15th April 2020. On top of this, all WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP QUALIFIER NATIONAL 2020 Events taking place before 1st May 2020 are now postponed. These events include:
Austrian Nationals – April 11-12th 2020
German Nationals – April 18-19th 2020
New dates will be shared later.
We apologise if this has caused any inconvenience for our players who were intending to attend, judges who were preparing for the event, fans who were looking to keep an eye on the coverage, and everyone else who may be affected as a result. We continue to closely monitor the situation that is developing daily, and will provide updates on future events as soon as we are able to. These updates will be found here on www.yugioh-card.com
