The Matching Battle awards prizes based on the number of wins. Participants receive 1 Participation Promotion Pack Vol.8, 1 win awards 1 Promotional DON!!

The application period may change depending on the number of participants.

What to Check Before Participating

Players cannot participate in any of the three events without the PLAYGO app. The event will only be visible if the game title inside the app is set to ONE PIECE CARD GAME. For the 3on3 CUP and Flagship Battle EX, decklists must be registered in PLAYGO before check-in, and deck submission is mandatory even for on-site registration. Decks cannot be changed during the event, and players may face penalties if their deck differs from the submitted list during random deck checks.

Except for DON!! Cards, players may only use official Korean-version products of the ONE PIECE CARD GAME. This means decks constructed with Japanese, English, or Asian-version cards cannot be used in these events. Registration closes 10 minutes before the start time, and players must bring identification for identity verification. Duplicate applications, proxy applications, and transferring participation rights are strictly prohibited. Parking is available, but parking support is not provided, so the organizers recommend using public transportation.

Schedule for Korean Players

Korean-version players need to keep track of three dates: November 23 at 12:00 PM for the application deadline and winner announcement for the 3on3 CUP and Flagship Battle EX, and December 12 for the tournament day. Matching Battle applications will be accepted until 17:00 on the tournament day. The official website stated that the venue and schedule are subject to change depending on the organizers' circumstances.
