At this year’s event there will be six different game modes:
- All-Star 1v1 Tournament
- TFT Tournament
- 5v5 Summoner’s Rift
- Show Matches
- URF mode (original blind pick, not ARURF)
- Tandem mode
Most of these modes are available for players to play in-game except for tandem mode. This mode is a fan favorite where two teams of 10 players play a Summoner’s Rift match with a twist, players double up on a champion, with one player controlling the mouse and another controlling the keyboard.
Teamfight Tactics comes into the All-Star event as the newest game mode, while the 2v2 tournament and Nexus Blitz seem to not be making a return.
Last year’s All-Star show match featured a competitive NA vs EU match.Riot Games have also announced that the event may feature some surprises and even a few sneak peeks at new game content – it’s possible something entirely new may be revealed!
