Case Break
Also known as: Full case break
A case break is a large-scale group break where an entire sealed case of product — typically 12 to 20 boxes, depending on the product — is opened. Case breaks offer better odds at case hits (the rarest cards in a product that statistically appear once per case) and are popular for high-end products where individual hobby boxes are very expensive. Case breaks are often streamed live, with participants watching in real time as their team or player slot is hit.
