Today, Wizards of the Coast has announced the Magic: The Gathering formats of the upcoming rounds of Players Tours, and the formats for Series 2 will be Modern and Standard Constructed. As you can see below in the chart shared by WotC below, Players Tour: Charlotte, Players Tour: Kitakyushu, and the Players Tour Finals in Minneapolis will feature two Constructed formats instead of one Booster Draft/ one Constructed format.
However, Series 3 will bring back Booster Draft with the Zendikar Rising, the new Magic set coming this fall. It should be interesting to see two Constructed formats used in Players Tour events, and I don't mind watching players play them in major tournaments
Here are ways you can qualify for Players Tour events:
> All players from the previous Players Tour Finals (details on how top finishers from tabletop Mythic Championships in 2019 will qualify for the Players Tour will be announced prior to Mythic Championship VII)
> Top finishers by record from the previous Players Tour
> All MPL players
> All Rivals players
> Players who finish in the Top 8 or with at least 39 match points at individual Grand Prix
> Top 4 teams and all other teams with at least 36 match points at team Grand Prix
> Last Chance Qualifier winners held the day before Players Tour events
> WPN Qualifiers
> Players Tour Qualifiers
> Premier Series events
> MTGO Qualifiers
> Hall of Fame status
> Discretionary invitations
Players Tour and Players Tour Finals events will take place alongside MagicFests. I'm planning to attend Grand Prix Charlotte this May, and probably Grand Prix Washington DC.
