Announcements

Next week, Riftbound heads to the Netherlands for Regional Qualifier Utrecht at Kinepolis Jaarbeurs Utrecht.

From June 12-14, competitors from across Europe will battle for Regional Championship invites, cash prizing, and their place in Riftbound Organized Play history. Alongside the Main Event, attendees can look forward to side events, community activities, vendors, Prize Wall rewards, and a full weekend of Riftbound competition.

Whether you’re competing in the Main Event or attending your first Regional Qualifier, here’s everything you need to know before arriving in Utrecht. 

TL;DR - What’s New?

  • Improved Main Event Prizing
  • Unleashed Legends Added into Best-Of Prizing

What’s on the Line?

Utrecht will continue the updated Season 3 Regional Qualifier prizing structure, expanding rewards for players competing deep into Day 2 of the Main Event.

Competitors will battle for a share of the $25,000 prize pool, with $6,000 awarded to the Regional Qualifier Champion. Alongside cash prizing, players can earn event rewards including playmats, Prize Wall Tickets, future RQ Competitor Passes, invitations to upcoming Regional Championships, and additional cash prizing as they continue their path toward the first-ever Riftbound World Championship.
