All-Star Weekend

All-Star Weekend is a gathering of pro players on the first weekend of every year by Glory Professional Alliance. The gathering features numerous performances, and the 24 pros that compete are chosen via a fan vote. Every year, a different club hosts the event, and some parts are broadcasted on TV and the internet.

## Day 1

### **Rookie Challenge Competition**

The participants for the Rookie Challenge Competition are not chosen through the typical fan vote. As long as they have been a pro for less than two full years, they are qualified to sign up. Afterwards, they are allowed to freely choose any non-rookie player to battle one-on-one with them. The two parties typically do not use their own accounts, but rather they use two characters provided by the host to fight. Through this method, the battlefield is leveled since one person will not have a more powerful character.

## Day 2

### **Mini-Games**

In each session, players from the audience will be selected randomly to play a mini-game against a pro player. Games include Glory’s running race, climbing race, target match, and obstacle course.

### **Player vs Pro Battle**

One pro player would come out and receive challenges from the audience. This is the most traditional event of All-star Weekend

## Day 3

### **All-Star Competitions**

This is the most popular and important event during the All-star Weekend. The 24 all-star players that were chosen by the fans are split into two teams. They are to compete in an official match format—an individual competition, a group competition, and a team competition. Players can only play in one of these three games.
