About this event

Celebrate the release of Paradox Drive! Queue up through TopDex Match Play, battle other players, and climb the leaderboard by gaining ELO during the event window. No brackets. No scheduled rounds. No waiting on tournament pairings. Every match counts. Play as much as you want, whenever you want. Your final placement is decided by your net ELO gain when the event ends. Top players win prizes, and full event analysis including decks, win rates, trends, and more will be featured on TopDex after the cup.

Note from the host

Play honestly. No-shows and missed check-ins drag your reputation down. Drop below 40% and matchmaking locks you out, even mid-event. See <a href="/match-play/how-it-works#reputation" class="underline" style="color: #7592ff;">how reputation works</a> for the details. <br><br> If your opponent no-shows, brings the wrong deck, or disputes a clean result, use the 'report opponent' feature and let us know. Every report will get reviewed by a real person.
