List of Magic: The Gathering Grand Prix Events - Grand Prix By Country

Grand Prix By Country

By default, the detailed table below is sorted in descending order, first by number of GPs won, then by number of winning players, then by number of GPs hosted, and finally by alphabetical order of the country.

The totals for each of the three columns will be different from each other, for several reasons:

  • Team Grand Prix have multiple winners, possibly from different countries.
  • The same individual may win multiple Grand Prix.
  • Future Grand Prix will already have been scheduled at a host city but not yet have a winner.
Country Number of GPs won GPs Won, in chronological order Number of winning players Winning players, in chronological order (multiple wins in parentheses) Number of GPs hosted GPs hosted, in chronological order

Famous quotes containing the words grand and/or country:

    The allurement that women hold out to men is precisely the allurement that Cape Hatteras holds out to sailors: they are enormously dangerous and hence enormously fascinating. To the average man, doomed to some banal drudgery all his life long, they offer the only grand hazard that he ever encounters. Take them away, and his existence would be as flat and secure as that of a moo-cow.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    The country is fed up with children and their problems. For the first time in history, the differences in outlook between people raising children and those who are not are beginning to assume some political significance. This difference is already a part of the conflicts in local school politics. It may spread to other levels of government. Society has less time for the concerns of those who raise the young or try to teach them.
    Joseph Featherstone (20th century)
