It went at "Ufa Arena", the main ice hockey arena in Ufa. Also, for the first time in a history of KHL, All Star Game had a new format. Instead of traditional game of Eastern Conference between Western Conference, there were the games against Divisions of KHL. In Kontinental Hockey League divisions are named after the most famous and professional Soviet Union players - Kharlamov, Tarasov, Bobrov and Chernyshev. It was like a semi-final between teams of divisions and the winners got to Final game. So, for one day they played three games at once. For this reason, the time of games was changed too. The time of each game was limited to only two 10-minute periods in format of 4x4 with no permission for body-checking.
