Get ready, Candy Crush enthusiasts! The much-anticipated Candy Crush All Stars tournament is back for its fifth thrilling edition, and this time, it's bigger than ever with a staggering $1 million prize pool up for grabs. The competition kicks off today and will run for two months, offering all players a chance to compete in qualifiers, knockout rounds, and ultimately, the finals.

For those new to the tournament, here's how it works: Over the course of two months, participants will navigate through various stages, starting with qualifiers and progressing to knockout rounds. The top contenders will then advance to a live event in Los Angeles, where they'll vie for the largest portion of the $1 million prize pool. With over 15 million players participating last year, the competition is set to be fiercer than ever!

Adding to the excitement this year is the introduction of an official theme song. Who better to energize the competitors than the iconic late '90s band Smash Mouth with their hit "All Star"? This anthem is sure to pump up the players as they strive for victory.

If you're eager to dive into Candy Crush Saga and aim for that incredible $1 million prize pool, mark your calendar. You have until March 27th to participate in the qualifiers, which will lead to the knockout rounds and the grand finals.
