English version below

Premodern není nostalgie pro nostalgii. Je to formát, který odměňuje znalost hry, správné rozhodování a dlouhodobou práci s balíčkem. A právě proto vznikl European Premodern Masters, nová každoroční evropská invitational série, která od roku 2026 spojí nejlepší Premodern hráče napříč Evropou.

Náš turnaj je oficiální kvalifikací na European Premodern Masters 2026, jehož finále proběhne 10.-11. října 2026 ve Valencii ve Španělsku. O účast na hlavním eventu se hraje přes národní šampionáty a kvalifikační turnaje, a tenhle je jedním z nich.

https://www.premodernmasters.org/

Hraje se poctivý kompetitivní Premodern: minimálně 5 kol swiss, cut do TOP4 (při naplnění kapacity klidně víc). Pokud chceš pozvánku, musíš si ji skutečně vybojovat u stolu. Turnaj je otevřený všem, kteří chtějí poměřit síly a posunout se o úroveň výš.

A teď to podstatné: Vítěz turnaje získá kvalifikaci na finálový turnaj ve Španělsku, a my mu k tomu zaplatíme letenku. Žádné „možná někdy“. Vyhraješ, letíš.

Kromě samotné kvalifikace čekají na TOP8 premodern staple karty, takže se nehraje jen o jednu pozvánku, ale o reálné ceny, které dávají v tomhle formátu smysl. Cíl je jasný: silná konkurence, férový turnaj a jasná cesta na evropské finále.

Základní informace: Kdy: 28. března 2026 Check-in: od 10:00 Start: 10:30 Kapacita: 80 hráčů Vstupné: 500 Kč / 20 € Registrace: zakoupením vstupenky Decklist: nahráním přes games-hub.gg

Pokud Premodern hraješ vážně a láká tě poměřit se s evropskou špičkou, tohle je přesně ten turnaj, kde to celé může začít. Ne proto, že je „hezký“, ale proto, že něco skutečně znamená.

====

Premodern is not nostalgia for nostalgia’s sake. It’s a format that rewards deep game knowledge, correct decision-making, and long-term work with a deck. And that is exactly why the European Premodern Masters was created, a brand-new annual European invitational series that, starting in 2026, will bring together the best Premodern players from across the continent.

Our tournament is an official qualifier for the European Premodern Masters 2026, whose finals will take place on October 10-11, 2026 in Valencia, Spain. Entry to the main event is earned through national championships and qualifying tournaments, and this is one of them.

https://www.premodernmasters.org/

Expect proper, competitive Premodern: at least 5 rounds of Swiss, with a cut to Top 4 (or more if the capacity is filled). If you want an invitation, you’ll have to earn it at the table. The tournament is open to everyone who wants to test themselves and take the next step up.

And now the important part: The winner qualifies for the final event in Spain, and we will pay for their flight. No “maybe someday.” You win, you fly.

On top of the qualification itself, Premodern staple cards await the Top 8, so you’re not just playing for a single invitation, but for meaningful prizes that actually matter in this format. The goal is clear: strong competition, a fair tournament, and a direct path to the European finals.

Basic information: Date: March 28, 2026 Check-in: from 10:00 Start: 10:30 Capacity: 80 players Entry fee: 500 CZK / 20 € Registration: by purchasing a ticket Decklist: by uploading via games-hub.gg

If you take Premodern seriously and want to measure yourself against Europe’s best, this is exactly the kind of tournament where it can all begin. Not because it’s “nice,” but because it actually means something.
