MAG1 Season 4
For Season 4, another 32 pros queued up for 2 days on the private ladder with the goal of finishing in the top 8. With the [201] region stacked to the brim and bringing in new talent, it proved difficult for players from other regions to distinguish themselves. Thus, the top 8 ended up with 6 representatives from [201] and 2 from [501]. Still, long-time players n_sacco and cast managed to make semis alongside powerhouses Shark Hunter and Flower Fairy. In the end, Shark Hunter and Flower Fairy punched their ticket to the finals, ending the run of the remaining region this season. In the finals, Fairy showed exceptional mastery of the meta, besting Shark Hunter and winning his second MAG1 title. Crawlers heavily defined the meta during this season, with Tarantulas being most prevalent as their best counter. Compositions such as Tarantula/Phoenix were abundant throughout all stages of the tournament, often paired with a titan ‘gutshot’ such as an armored level 2 War Factory on the line.
