The Alt Events Centre: Hurstville's TCG Hub
The Alt Events Centre at 2 Crofts Avenue in Hurstville is becoming one of the most used TCG event venues in NSW. The DBS Sydney Regional on 9 August shares the address with the ANZ MTG Super Series Regional Championships running there in October. Hurstville in the St George area of Sydney is accessible by train from Central Station on the Illawarra Line, approximately 30 minutes.
Parking is available in the Hurstville area. The venue is a short walk from Hurstville Station for players travelling by public transport.
The DBS MASTERS Oceania Series in 2026
The Sydney Regional on 9 August is one event in a broader DBS MASTERS Oceania series running throughout 2026. The confirmed MASTERS events are:
Perth Regional (6 June, completed). Brisbane Regional (19 July). Sydney/Hurstville Regional (9 August). Auckland Regional (29 August). Melbourne September Regional (12 September). Online September Regional (19 September).
For players accumulating ranking points across the Oceania series, the August window covers both Sydney on 9 August and Auckland on 29 August within the same month. Players willing to travel can attend both within a three-week window.
Format and Meta Preparation
The Sydney Regional runs DBS MASTERS Constructed format with the current legal card pool. MASTERS meta preparation follows the same logic as all Bandai competitive events.
Study Japanese tournament results first. Japan has the deepest DBS MASTERS competitive scene globally, and Japanese results from June and July will preview what arrives in Sydney in August.
Understand the Leader tier list heading into August. DBS MASTERS competitive play is strongly leader-dependent. The 2 to 3 dominant Leaders in the current format will represent the majority of top-finishing decks in Hurstville.
Build your Side Deck with those dominant Leaders specifically in mind. In DBS MASTERS, side deck preparation for specific matchups is as important as your main deck construction.
Check current DBS Card Game prices in AUD on C3 before purchasing any cards for your Regional list. Prices move in the weeks before major events.
Sydney Regional deck preparation: buy cards before July prices move
Players preparing for the Brisbane DBS Regional on 19 July and the Sydney Regional on 9 August will drive up prices on MASTERS meta staples in July. Cards that are reasonable now will cost more the week of the Sydney Regional.
Check current Dragon Ball Super prices on C3 and identify what you still need while prices are stable.
Connecting the Sydney Regional to the Full Oceania Picture
The Sydney Regional on 9 August falls between the Brisbane Regional on 19 July and the Auckland Regional on 29 August. Players who attend Brisbane in July, Sydney in August, and Auckland later in August have three Regional Championship opportunities within a six-week window.
For players specifically targeting the DBS MASTERS ranking ladder, this three-event window in July and August is the most concentrated opportunity in the 2026 Oceania season.
The Melbourne September Regional on 12 September and the Online September Regional on 19 September provide further opportunities for players who want additional events or need to make up ranking points later in the year.
What to Bring
A legal 50-card DBS MASTERS Leader Deck and Battle Cards meeting the current format requirements. Side Deck prepared for the dominant Leaders you expect to face. Confirm decklist submission requirements with LPG as the event approaches.
