Southeast Asia Nationals

The Grand Archive TCG 2025 Nationals kicked off in Southeast Asia, hosted in the stunning city of Taipei, Taiwan! Over 250 players from around the globe gathered for a two-day Swiss-style tournament, culminating in a top 8 single-elimination bracket after both phases of Swiss rounds.

Competitors battled for a spot in the top 12 to claim their share of the $14,000 prize pool, the exclusive Eternal Magistrate CPR prize card, and qualification for The Gauntlet. The top 4 finalists not only received a larger portion of the prize pool and the prize card but were also rewarded with booster boxes from the original Dawn of Ashes Kickstarter release and our latest expansion set, Abyssal Heaven. Best of all, they secured their place at Worlds 2025, with travel and accommodations fully covered!
