For more details, the post linked to a Community Clash Cup page on Parallel’s blog. It did not give a date for the event.
One trophy, two editions
The prize has two tiers. Only the champion receives the 1/1 NFT. Everyone else in the field gets an AP version of the trophy.
The announcement did not say how many players will be in the Cup. It also did not mention any other prizes for the winner.
The road to the Cup
In July 2026, Parallel started Community Clash, a series of grassroots tournaments run by the community that all lead to one final event. Players who place well at these tournaments earn bids, or qualifications, for a spot in the Cup.
At the same time, the studio added an in-game event panel that makes it easier for players to find tournaments and sign up for them.
Parallel is a free-to-play sci-fi trading card game that players can download from the Epic Games Store.
