Star Wars CCG major tournaments in 2026 are continuing strong, with a return to sunny San Diego, CA for the 2026 San Diego Super Open on April 10-12. The weekend event concluded with Joe Olson defeating Daniel Amor in the final confrontation match to take the trophy. This is Team 5 member Joe’s first Major Event victory in 2026, although as a 3-time World Champion, he is no stranger to finishing as a top 8 qualifier at Major Events (including a top 8 in the 2026 Boston Winter Classic event).
