Magic: The Gathering, the game that put Wizards of the Coast on the map, is establishing a brand new competitive league for ********* players. After a trial in Italy, PG Esports is partnering up with Wizards of the Coast and local partners like FACEIT to launch a new Magic: The Gathering Europe league. As our sister site The Loadout reports, registration is now closed for the several ********* countries that FACEIT is handling. The first qualifier round is being held today, and players in England, France, Germany, Italy, and four of the Nordic countries each have their own qualifying rounds. The league will use the standard format, with matches held each Sunday for five weeks. Each victory is worth three points, and the eight players with the most points at the end of the five-week regular season will advance to a final. That will then be streamed live via FACEIT's Twitch channel. The league will also be using the latest digital iteration of the game, Magic: The Gathering Arena, which we reviewed last month and found to be a rather good version of the game, if not quite a replacement for playing with physical cards.

Magic: The Gathering is a notoriously complex game, filled with innumerable cards that have unique properties, effects, and strategic uses. As such, it's become a target for AI and computational research - just as everything from chess to StarCraft II has in the past. Now, researchers have determined that Magic is just too complicated for computers to solve. A recent research paper "establishes that Magic: The Gathering is the most computationally complex real-world game known in the literature." The researchers include board game designer Alex Churchill, Georgia Institute of Technology researcher Stella Biderman, and senior analyst of the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton Budget Model Austin Herrick. The results conclude that "finding the best move in a game of Magic, in the worst case, cannot be computed," as Churchill tells Kotaku. "There are certain circumstances, even though they're very contrived, where it's proven that no algorithm can find whether there exists a winning move." Instead, there are certain circumstances in which a computer algorithm would never be able to complete its calculation about which move would be the optimal next play. Read the rest of the story...
