Day 1 of the Arena Open begins at 9 AM ET/6 AM PT on July 31 with the signup period ending at 6 AM ET/3 AM PT August 1. Entry to the July Arena Open costs 20,000 gold or 4,500 gems and comes with a Lair of the Hydra card sleeve.
Players competing in the Best-of-One flight need to reach seven wins before three losses to reach Day 2, while players in Best-of-Three need to hit four wins before one loss to move on to the second day of competition. All prizes will be awarded as gems until reaching six or seven wins on Day 2, with cash prizes of $1,000 and $2,000 going to the top players.
