Candy Crush All Stars Tournament returns for its fifth iteration this year

Get ready to sweeten your gaming experience, Candy Crush fans! The beloved Candy Crush All Stars tournament is back for its fifth thrilling edition, and this time, it's bigger and sweeter than ever. With a jaw-dropping $1 million prize pool up for grabs, the stakes are higher, and the competition is fiercer. The tournament kicks off today, and with over 15 million players from last year's event, you're in for a challenge like no other!

For those new to the tournament or needing a refresher, here's how it works: Over the next two months, all players are invited to participate in a series of rounds starting with qualifiers, moving on to knockouts, and culminating in an electrifying live final in Los Angeles. The lucky finalists will battle it out for the lion's share of that massive prize pool. It's an opportunity you won't want to miss!

Adding an extra layer of excitement to this year's tournament is the official theme song, performed by none other than the iconic late '90s band Smash Mouth with their hit "All Star." It's the perfect anthem to pump up the participants and get everyone in the competitive spirit.

Crushing it: If you're eager to dive into the Candy Crush Saga and aim for that incredible $1 million prize, mark your calendars. You have until March 27th to compete in the qualifiers, which will lead you to the knockout rounds and ultimately the finals.
