# Carnival Clash: Hot Streak

Carnival Clash is launching its brand-new Hot Streak challenge. Players will join 8-player matchmaking sessions of casual mini-games and accumulate win streaks to claim corresponding rewards.

## 1. Carnival Clash Gameplay

The Carnival consists of 20 casual mini-games. It utilizes an 8-player matchmaking system, with each single match lasting roughly 1 to 3 minutes. Please find the updated Carnival Clash game library [here](/wiki/gameplay/carnival-clash/carnival-clash-game-library.md).

#### Daily Session Schedule

The Hot Streak challenge features 12 rolling sessions daily, split across three regions:

* Asia: UTC 08:00 – 16:00 (4 sessions open)
* Europe: UTC 12:00 – 20:00 (4 sessions open)
* Americas: UTC 20:00 – 04:00 \[Next Day] (4 sessions open)

*\*Note: Registration is open during the first hour of each session. The tournament will only kick off if at least 64 players register within this hour.*

## 3. Rules

* Hot Streak Launch: The hot streak tournament will begin as long as the minimum registration requirement is met. If the requirement is not met, the tournament will be canceled, spent tickets will be refunded, and players can re-register for the next session.
* Absence Policy: Players who fail to participate during the Hot Streak tournament will be considered as forfeiting their eligibility; spent tickets will not be refunded.
* Win/Loss Determination: Players ranking in the top 4 of each match secure a victory, while those ranking 5th to 8th receive a defeat. Win streaks are tracked individually per player. Under special circumstances (such as voluntarily quitting), the match is counted as a defeat.
* Win Streak Mechanism: A victory grants a Win Streak. A defeat resets the Win Streak to 0.

## 4. Prize Pool Rules & Examples

The system generates a Total Prize Pool based on the number of registered players. The Total Prize Pool is divided into three distinct win-streak tiers, with the quantity of winning slots allocated proportionally:

* ### **3-Win Streak Pool:**

Winning Slots = Total Registered Players × 40%

Fixed Reward per Slot = 20,000 Mirble + 3-Use Backpack Booster

* ### **5-Win Streak Pool:**

Winning Slots = Total Registered Players × 8%

Fixed Reward per Slot = 100,000 Mirble + 5-Use Backpack Booster

* ### **7-Win Streak Pool:**

Winning Slot = Fixed at 1

Dynamic Reward Formula:&#x20;

Grand Reward = Total Reward Pool - (3-Win Streak Pool) - (5-Win Streak Pool)

*\*Total Reward Pool = Total Registration Fees \* 95%*

#### Example 1: 500 Registered Players

<table data-header-hidden><thead><tr><th width="122.2540283203125"></th><th></th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Win Streak</td><td>Reward per Slot</td><td>Slots / Proportion</td></tr><tr><td>3 Wins</td><td>20,000 Mirble + 3-Use Backpack Booster</td><td>200 slots (40%)</td></tr><tr><td>5 Wins</td><td>100,000 Mirble + 5-Use Backpack Booster</td><td>40 slots (8%)</td></tr><tr><td>7 Wins</td><td>1,500,000 Mirble + 20-Use Backpack Booster</td><td>1 slot</td></tr></tbody></table>

#### Example 2: 1,000 Registered Players

<table data-header-hidden><thead><tr><th width="116.96044921875"></th><th width="247.345703125"></th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Win Streak</td><td>Reward per Slot</td><td>Slots / Proportion</td></tr><tr><td>3 Wins</td><td>20,000 Mirble + 3-Use Backpack Booster</td><td>400 slots (40%)</td></tr><tr><td>5 Wins</td><td>100,000 Mirble + 5-Use Backpack Booster</td><td>80 slots (8%)</td></tr><tr><td>7 Wins</td><td>3,000,000 Mirble + 20-Use Backpack Booster</td><td>1 slot</td></tr></tbody></table>

* Claiming Rewards: Players can interrupt their win streak at any time to claim the rewards available to their current tier. (e.g., claiming the 3-win streak reward while currently at a 4-win streak). Once rewards are claimed, the win streak resets to 0, and the player can start a new challenge.
* Challenge & Claim Limits: Within the tournament duration, there are no limits on the number of challenges or reward claims, continuing until the prize pool is completely depleted.
* **Reward Cap:** Rewards are distributed on a FCFS basis. No further rewards will be issued once the prize pool hits zero.
* **Prize Rollover**: Any unclaimed rewards left in the prize pool will be rolled over and injected into the 7 Win Prize Pool of the next tournament session.

## 5. FAQ

#### Hot Streak Tickets & Registration

**Q1: What is the price of a ticket, and how do I buy it?**

A: Tickets can be purchased in the in-game Store for 200 Diamonds each. You also have chances to obtain tickets through official events.

**Q2: What happens to my ticket if the registration fails to reach the 64-player threshold?**

A: If a tournament is canceled, refunds are processed based on your status. For online players: the ticket will be refunded directly to your Inventory, accompanied by an in-game mail notification; for offline players: the ticket will be sent as an email attachment. Players must manually claim it from their Mailbox.

**Q3: Can I register for multiple sessions at the same time?**

A: No. You can only register for the next session after your current session has concluded and registration for the upcoming one opens.

#### Gameplay

**Q4: How are the games chosen? Can I select them manually?**

A: The games are randomly selected by the matchmaking system and cannot be chosen manually. All games in the Carnival Game Library have an equal chance to appear.

**Q5: How many matches can I play in a single Hot Streak session (1 hour active match phase)?**

A: Each match lasts about 3 minutes, meaning you can theoretically participate in up to 20 matches. The actual number depends on the actual matchmaking.

**Q6: What happens if I disconnect during a match?**

A: The system will not automatically hand you a loss for disconnecting. Please reconnect to the match as quickly as possible.

**Q7: How is a win/loss determined in the event of a tie (e.g., multiple players finishing with the same rank)?**

A: In the event of a tie, the system will execute a random dice roll. The final rankings will be determined by the dice values, which will then dictate the win/loss outcome.

#### Win Streaks & Claiming

**Q8: If a high-tier prize pool is empty (e.g., the 7-win streak pool), can I still downgrade to claim lower-tier rewards?**

A: Yes. If your target tier's prize pool is fully depleted, you can downgrade to claim rewards from other tiers that still have remaining stock.

#### Rewards & Strategy

**Q9: Since rewards are FCFS, is it better to participate early?**

A: Yes, entering the tournament early gives you a distinct time advantage. We highly recommend jumping into the challenge as soon as the session starts.

**Q10: What are the rewards used for?**

A: Mirble: Please refer to the [Mirble introduction](https://partyicons.gitbook.io/wiki/open-beta-preseason-test/preseason-phase-2/pages/84L3QOojILQgr53O0yOW#id-3.-mirble) for specific use cases.

Backpack Booster: Can be equipped and used during Party Heist matches, granting 5 more backpack slots.

#### Matchmaking & Schedule

**Q11: Can I team up with my friends to participate?**

A: No, teaming up is not permitted. The Hot Streak challenge is a strictly solo matchmaking mode.

Please stay tuned to official announcements for any updates to event timing, rewards, or rules. The team reserves the right of final interpretation for the Hot Streak event.
