The MAGFest 2019 SiIvaGunner panel was a panel hosted by members of the SiIvaGunner team at MAGFest 2019. It was first announced with the video "A MAGnificent Leak!". The panel is available on MAGFest's YouTube account as "MAGFest 2019: SiIvaGunner Presents - High Quality Ripping", and the online Q&A is on SiIvaGunner2 as "SiIvaGunner MAGFest 2019 Q&A Live Stream".

This is the second time SiIvaGunner has appeared at MAGFest as a guest. The first was MAGFest 2018. The team appeared again at MAGFest 2020.

Summary

On December 7, 2018, during the beginning of the Grinch Takeover, The Grinch uploads "A MAGnificent Leak!", a "leak" of SiIvaGunner's already-announced appearance at MAGFest 2019.

On January 2, Wood Man announced the schedule for the team's appearance. There are two autograph sessions and a panel:

And yes, we're well aware of the situation with our channel right now. We will be discussing it as well as our plans for the future on the panel and the online Q&A. The online Q&A will be at GMT-5 so it is important that you tune in.			Around 11:50 EST (GMT-5) that morning, the channel was terminated due to reports of copyright infringement. Time was clarified to 9:00 PM GMT-5 (see below).
In the meantime, here is the link to our backup channel. http://tinyurl.com/siivagunnernice We'll have more details in the future! #highqualityRIP			#HighQualityRIP was the Twitter hashtag used by fans of the original GiIvaSunner channel when it was taken down.
