They are All Stars because they are the highest ranking players.

Almost made it to the merge in TDA

Made it to the finale in TDWT

Duncan -

Made it to the finale in TDA

Made it to the final 5 again in TDWT

Alejandro -

Sierra -

Courtney -

The 2nd gen All Stars is basically the final 7 of TDROTI [if you replace Dakota with Sam that is].
