WotC just released their next GP schedule for 2017, two US Legacy GPS and none in Europe. To say I'm gutted is an understatement.

Bologna Italy Bologna Fiere May 5–7, 2017 Limited Legacy ???
Is this a tournament organizing agency or is that a typo...and this is maybe supposed to be Legacy?
What a bunch of fuckers.
It is the organizer

Yeah, I feel bad for our friends in Europe and Asia.
Atleast they announced Eternal Weekend for Europe in April.
Of course, as a North American, glad to see more than one Legacy GP here. Sad that people outside the continent don't get their own.
However, SCG and CFB both put on a great event so I hope people will come and enjoy. The last SCG Legacy GP had over 4000 people playing.

Well, they're really trying to kill legacy I guess
Especially since it's on Thursday/Friday...
The seven cardinal sins of Legacy:
1. Discuss the unbanning ofLand TaxEarthcraft.
2. Argue that banning Force of Will would make the format healthier.
3. Play Brainstorm without Fetchlands.
4. Stifle Standstill.
5. Think that Gaea's Blessing will make you Solidarity-proof.
6. Pass priority after playing Infernal Tutor.
7. Fail to playtest against Nourishing Lich (coZ iT wIlL gEt U!).
GPLouisvilleBourbon is going to be rough. I might actually have to take a real deck and get some practice in just to spare my liver for a few extra rounds.
Ultra mega Voltron GP in Vegas is going to be a complete shit show. Middle of the desert in June with 10000 sweaty nerds? Yeah I'm not touching that with a 10-foot pole.
I think the biggest thing is the deep seeded emotional understanding that the right play is the right play regardless of outcomes. The ability to make a decision 5 straight times, lose 5 times because of it, and still make it the 6th time if it's the right play. - Jon Finkel

I am just mad right now....
Going to Vegas is expensive as fuck, compared to flying inside Europe.
Seems like it will be solely Eternal Weekend for me.
Is there a way to put WotC into the race of Worst Company of 2016? They have done plenty of shit to justify it by now.
I just spent 5 days in Vegas and wasn't exposed to the outside air for more than 30 seconds there's no excuse to be a sweaty piece of shit. It's the A/C capitol of the universe.

Also a Thursday-Friday Legacy GP means that it will be attended solely by adults who are using paid time off so the crowd should be mostly showered.
I am not sure I agree w/ the logic 'can go to an event Thurs+Friday = definitely has job'...
Let me set this straight:
Last GP Vegas for Modern Masters 2 they had 7700 people playing in two concurrent GPs, plus staff and vendors and side event players. Probably over 9000 people in total.
The venue was cold. Not "oh, I guess I feel the A/C" but actually "I wish I had a sweater" cold. Outside temperature: 40C.
The venue was so cold that I walked outside and across the street into the hotel without the heat doing anything because I was still chilled from the event hall!
It's not going to be a problem at all. Don't worry about it, and bring a sweater. Shockingly, LVCC has held large conferences in the summer before and they know what they're doing.

IMO, their best bet would be to cover Day 2 of each event. Maybe we'll get two days of legacy!
No Europe GP!
Legacy: Louisville, Kentucky >>> Rest of the World
MtG: USA >>> Rest of the World

First release EMA ... squeeze some money out, then ditch us the next second ... I feel so abused and slutty.
