Syracuse, NY – October 26, 2009 – Last week TCGplayer.com announced the launch of a new Magic: the Gathering tournament series. The TCGplayer.com $5k Series will be moving from city to city, with the initial launch beginning in Philadelphia on Sunday, December 13th. These events will also be featuring exciting side events, guest artists and gunslinging opportunities.

Magic: the Gathering Hall of Fame member Robert Dougherty, who is the head organizer for these events, had this to say:

“This is going to be a great tournament series. We are putting these events on with local premier tournament organizers and judges who have a proven track record of running high quality events. Gamingetc.com and StrikezoneOnline.com will be on hand to buy and sell. Each event will have Magic artists and gunslingers (including myself). It’s going to be a lot of fun!

Between my work as a store owner, premier tournament organizer and Hall of Fame pro player I’ve really gotten a lot out of Magic. It’s really nice to be able to give something back to the game and player community.”

The TCGplayer.com $5k in Philadelphia also coincides with a PTQ event on Saturday, December 12th making for an entire Magic Weekend!
