==How Can I Participate in the Soccer Event?==

We're borrowing the playbook from the Anniversary Event and introducing the merge mechanic into the game plan. So, gear up, get your team in shape, play your hearts out, and remember - there are amazing rewards waiting for you at the final whistle!


[[File:Soc2023Eventwindow.png|700px|center|link=]]

=== Spawn and merge the players ===

When the event kicks off, follow the markers to complete the training section. This will introduce you to the mechanics of this year's event! Once the tutorial is complete, you will gain access to a pitch full of players. Most of these players will be locked in place by netting. To activate the player, you need to spawn another player of the same type and merge them.


{| style="width: 85%; margin: auto;"
|[[File:warmup.png|link=|75px]]  
|!style="text-align: center; background-color:#003366;"|
Click on the Warm-Up button to pay 10 footballs and call a new player to the field. You can then use this player to activate and free a locked player of the same type. Merging players will level them up and increase their star rating. Every new merge with a locked player will also get you a small reward and Grand Prize progress. The higher the star rating of the player, the bigger the reward!
|}

=== Convert players into badges ===

There are three types of player: Attacker, Midfielder and Defender. Each locked player will also come with a badge part: either an inner or outer part. 

{| style="width: 85%; margin: auto;"
|!style="text-align: center; background-color:#003366;"|
'''Attacker'''
|!style="text-align: center; background-color:#003366;"|
'''Midfielder'''
|!style="text-align: center; background-color:#003366;"|
'''Defender'''

|!style="text-align: center; background-color:#003366;"|[[File:DefenderBadges.png|200px|Link=]]
|}

Pay close attention to these when you are choosing which players to merge! If you merge two players with badge parts, those parts will be combined into a full badge. 


[[File:MergeBadgeA.png|150px||center|Link=]]

<big>'''But remember - to make a full badge you need to merge an inner part and an outer part, as well as matching the type of player and amount of stars.'''</big>

=== Open chests for rewards ===

Now send the players with a full badge into your Cool Down box to remove them from the pitch and free up the badge.

[[File:CoolDown.png|75px||center|Link=]]

Badges can be created on all players, but the higher the star rating of the player, the more badges you will get for converting them! Merging your players will increase their star rating.

|[[File:reward_icon_soccer_trophies.png|link=|100px]]  
|!style="text-align: center; background-color:#003366;"|
Badges can be used to unlock chests to give you a chance to win the Daily Special, among a variety of other useful resources! Your first chest of each day will also have a bonus doubling the prizes you gain from that chest, so pick your first chest of the day carefully!

=== Finishing a board and starting a new  ===


The objective is to clear all the player combinations on the pitch and collect all of the badges required to open the reward chests on the right. 
If you have removed all of the players on the pitch, you can reset the board for free to populate it with new players and keep matching. But most importantly, you get a board completion reward for the finished board! If you have a lot of players left on the board, you'll gain some bonus badges when you progress to a new board!

[[File:BoardFinished.png|300px||center|Link=]]

Feeling stuck? Don't worry, you can also reset the board with locked players still on it. One refresh a day is free, but you will have to spend Footballs to do the reset afterwards.

=== The Soccer 2023 League ===


For those with a competitive edge, the Event League is just the ticket. Think of it as your very own World Cup, where you pit your progress against others in your world. The farther you advance in the event, the higher you climb up the league table. 

[[File:leaguesSoc23.png|600px|center|link=]]

Remember, in this game of high stakes, the higher your rank, the better the bonus goodies waiting for you at the final whistle. It's all to play for, folks! Keep your eyes on the prize and give it your best shot!

==Rewards==

=== Daily Specials ===

Keep an eye out for the Daily specials. To win the Daily Specials, you need to open Reward Chests on the right side on the Event window. Every Chest has a different chance to win the Daily Special. Please click on the Chest you want to open to see the details about its rewards.
