The Arena × MagicPath The Gauntlet

​The finale of the MagicPath series. And the wildest format we've ever run.

​This is Match 3: The Gauntlet

​Thursday, June 4 at 10 AM PT.

​The rules of head-to-head go out the window. Four designers, one team, against a brief that's deliberately too big for any standard match. Bigger scope, more deliverables, less time per piece. It's a stress test for collaboration, scope management, and creative endurance. How far can a team of four get in one match? June 4, we find out. The brief stays locked until match day. The pressure starts the moment we go live.

​THE FORMAT
