if you are spending money in this tournament, I highly recommend not doing that.

I've been playing in these all start tournament for several years and I have yet to spend a single penny.

This entire tournament is a cash grab, elite players like myself are fully aware and we still participate.

Don't put your anger on @christinewupp

Your explanation does not match what I experienced during the tournament.

Since the beginning of the tournament, I have consistently been in first place on my leaderboard. Because of that, I paid very close attention to how other scores were changing, and what I observed was not normal.

Each time I increased my score, the same player would increase theirs almost immediately. This happened repeatedly and consistently. It felt directly reactive, not like independent gameplay.

I became concerned and started intentionally observing and testing the pattern. At one point, I waited and watched carefully, then increased my score multiple times in a short period

and the same player responded right away. When I stopped, they stopped. When I resumed, they resumed.

I also began to notice that players ranked behind me (such as those in third and fourth place) appeared to follow similar patterns, almost as if their activity was connected or moving together. From the very start of the tournament, I observed how these movements happened, and it did not feel like normal, independent competition.

Because of how unusual this was, I began documenting everything. I have screenshots and videos showing these patterns, and I will be sharing some of them. The images I am attaching here are part of that documentation.

I also noticed this issue earlier in the tournament and reported it, but did not receive any response. What I experienced afterward only confirmed my concerns.

This situation is extremely frustrating and disappointing. Players are investing real time, effort, and money expecting a fair and transparent competition. I personally spent significant time observing this closely, even adjusting my schedule to participate seriously, only to feel that the competition was not operating fairly.

At this point, I stopped putting more money into the game because it became clear that I could not compete under these conditions.

I’m not making this statement lightly I carefully observed, tested, and documented what I experienced. Based on that, I genuinely believe something is not functioning as it should, and it raises serious concerns about fairness in the All Stars tournament.

I strongly believe this needs to be properly reviewed and investigated, and I would appreciate this being escalated.

I'm currently at the top of my leaderboard with 250K blue candies.

The second place is around 130K.

But I noticed the second place person stops playing the moment I stop playing.

-I went to shower, they stopped play.

-I want to eat some breakfast, they stopped playing.

-I did 30 minute work conference call, they stopped playing.

-I take a nap, stopped playing.

The timing of their playings kinda weird. With real players, they will play continuously for long stretches or stop for long stretches. They rarely align with my play period.

Anyone else think there are bots in the tournament?

I suppose the bots could be use to inspire me to use my boosters or buy boosters to keep the distance.

Thoughts?
