Permanent All-Star

Throughout January, every Game Week will feature a permanent All-Star competition with two entries allowed, giving you the freedom to mix and match your favorite cards as you like.

This new approach is part of a test to simplify Special Events, allowing us to focus on highlighting one main Special Event per important Game Week on top of the permanent All-Star competition.

For example, in January, in addition to Global All-Star competitions, you can look forward to fan-favorite competitions like:

• Anti-Stack
• Underdog
• Cap 260

To keep things clear, the calendar below focuses on the highlighted competitions, and the All-Star competitions will not be listed—but rest assured, they’ll take place every Game Week throughout January!
