With GP London being at 1970 players making it the 4th largest GP, will GP Charlotte eclipse the 2500 player mark since its the same format (GTC Limited)? StarCity and Wizards are promoting it extremely hard, not to mention it is on the east coast. I assume other than the Modern Masters GP in Vegas, this GP will be the largest.

What is everyone's opinion on GP Charlotte, Biggest Ever or no?
European GPs are quite different from US GPs, the biggest benefit is that it is pretty economical to travel via Eurorail. On the flip side, it would cost me around 350 dollars (at minimum) to fly from the West Coast. Not to mention a lot of players would not travel a long distance for a high variance format. I have a hard time believing the GP will top 1500 players.

Boston last year had 1800+ people, Philadelphia limited had just shy of 2000 people. Charlotte has Gold Rush, which will incentivize more people to play that normally wouldn't. I do believe that it will break the North American record.

What exactly is the gold rush? I tried figuring it out on their website and I got lost and confused.

It ends up about 3000 cards that they will give out to anyone who enters a main event or large side event, and any side event win.

I think a total of 3,000 cards from the early sets of magic, placed as singles in envelopes and used to give away as part of the prizes/entry prize, etc. If I remember right, they range from random old cards with little value to a small number of power/duals/library/etc.

If your deck is 60 cards then you're playing with the best possible odds. 61? Probably won't alter your odds too much but we all know that 96% pure meth won't cut it next to Heisenberg's 99%.
I think Charlotte does have the potential to break the record.

There is also another North American GP going on this weekend I fear. So I highly doubt it can break the Madrid record. 1500 seems likely.
You have to remember that there is a massive storm going on in the North East Region at the moment as well, which will impact those who can make it to and from events this weekend.

Tantarus: It didn't make the gaka greifer level, so it should be fine

Charlotte is still 2 weeks away, probably will have less impact than you think.
W may only be paid with white mana. U may only be paid with blue mana. B may only be paid with black mana. R may only be paid with red mana. G may only be paid with green mana. C may only be paid with colorless mana. 1 may be paid with white, blue, black, red, green, or clolorless mana.

I meant the weekend of Charlotte. Somehow North America is so spoiled we get two gps the weekend right after the PT.
I think GP Vegas will be even bigger. It's easy to get there, cheap flights, and the only GP to be able to play MM format... could be MASSIVE.
Totally agree with this, I'm in Toronto and know many people are talking about Vegas.
With regards to Charlotte, I'm hoping it's huge as I am going to Quebec that weekend, the smaller it is, the better my chances
Just saw a picture on SCG's Facebook page with part of the caption being "Over 2600 registered so far!". Looks like a record to me, if their facts are all in check.

Nice call! I'm surprised this happened with people having local gamedays going on that usually draw a good amount of people.
2693 players? Whoever wins this has huuuuge bragging rights to go through 18 rounds of magic and come out sane.
