Many of you have been waiting for this, the Chicago Challenge is opening for registration soon!
After a long wait, the Chicago Lorcana Challenge event registration is finally commencing tomorrow! Event details appear to be the same as before, where the event will be held at the Hyatt Regency O’Hare.
Date: June 8-9, 2024
Venue: Hyatt Regency O’Hare
Address: 9300 W Bryn Mawr Ave Rosemont, IL 60018
Registration starts: Friday, April 19, 2024 at 12pm ET / 9am PT
Registration for the event will continue to be held on Eventbrite for now, instead of the previously announced Melee while the Lorcana team sorts out the change in platform. This will allow everyone who is hoping to attend the Chicago Challenge event be able to confirm their slot and be able to make hotel and travel arrangements.
With that in mind, the Eventbrite site states clearly that “players caught selling or buying scalped tickets may lead to further disciplinary actions”. Previously when announcing the switch to Melee, the Lorcana team announced that the Atlanta Lorcana Challenge event registrations would be cross referenced with player Melee accounts to remove scalpers. We expect the same will be done for this upcoming registration of the Chicago Lorcana Challenge event.
For anyone wondering about the player cap, Richelle from the Lorcana team has confirmed that the cap is currently set at 1024 players, double of the initial player cap. With that said, we expect tickets to still sell fast, so we suggest everyone to prepare early to register for the event.
