What They’re Saying:
- Dinh Khang Pham, known as DKP to the Disney Lorcana TCG community: “I still can’t believe it! My hand was amazing, of course. I beat insane odds. I couldn’t believe I won against Zach [Bivens, third place winner] for example and against Ed [Chiu] on the draw. Amazing games and so much fun!!"
- Elaine Chase, Chief Marketing Officer for TCGs at Ravensburger: “It was absolutely thrilling to witness DKP’s win with so many Disney Lorcana TCG fans watching live on Twitch. As a former competitive TCG player, it feeds my soul to see so many competitors vie for the title of World Champion and the one-of-a-kind Golden Mickey Mouse Card. We at Ravensburger can’t wait for next year’s World Championship now that the schedule is chock full of Challenges and events all over the world."
- Steven Cooper, Senior Tournament Manager for TCGs at Ravensburger: “We’re excited to support all kinds of Disney Lorcana TCG play going forward. That includes a bunch of events that Ravensburger is supporting that don’t fall into categories such as in-store play or Disney Lorcana Challenge. We want to schedule more events like this all over the world in 2026 and beyond!"
