Meet the 93 OVR threshold
The PVP Cup Mode gate requires a minimum 93 OVR average across the 11 starting slots. Use the OVR Optimizer tool to verify your squad before entering the queue.
Chemistry over card OVR
An 88 OVR squad with 100% positional match and same-nation chemistry will outperform a 92 OVR squad with broken links. Focus on green position indicators first.
Win 5 Cups for Standouts
Cup Mode rewards unlock at 5 wins. The reward card is a 105+ OVR Cup Standout, which is the second-strongest card tier in the game (after Limitbreakers).
