## Arenas

There are various battle arenas during the championship, some pretty standard, while many having unique functionalities to them. The arena will be listed under each Round.

## Round 1

**Arena:**

In Round 1, it was a battle royal between all the fighters. It was so that all 128 players will be cut in half to 64. The general win is to last until there are only 64 players left. So avoding fights is permitted. The arena location is the cruise ship that they join as they departed from the Incheon docks.

**Matches:**

Below is a list of all the victors, but since there are 64 fighters to passed to the next round, the list of all the fighters that are mentioned by name. Some of the fighters are do not appear until later on, but it can be assumed that if they fight in the later rounds, they would have been a victor in this round. Furthermore, it is implied that quite a few of the fighters sponsored by Unknown also proceeded to the next round, but since they are never named, they are not listed below.

There were also players that briefly appeared in round 1 but is unclear if they won or intentionally loss as they don't appear in further rounds..

Below are the 27 fighters that are listed by name and mentioned to have passed Round 1:

## Round 2 (Round of 64)

**Arena:**

In this round, it is pretty much the same as regular PVP matches. A one one one battle with spectators betting who will win. The arena is an eastern style stadium.

**Matches**
Below is the list of matches that were mentioned or made an appearance. Given that there were 64 contestants remaining after Round 1, presummably there were at least 32 matches.

Not all matches were shown on screen. Thus, those that won or lost off screen will be shown by the use of (✩). We know that these fighers in specific won as they appear later in the rounds. That said, there were around 14 other fighters that won & 25 other fighters that lost.

## Round 3 (Round of 32)

**Arenas:**

Unlike Round 2 where all the fights were done in the traditional fighting arena ring. Many of the fights in Round 3 were set up in special locations around the island, each with their own characteristics (note: it is unclear if this was true of every fight, as only 2 fights were shown for this round). Below are the two arenas mentioned:

As it is named, is located at the top of the Chamma Island.

**Gimmicks:**

* Flickering - In Hade's Cave, the arena's lights will peroidically shuts off and on. Players won't able to see each other and can be blinded as well. However, when the round is nearly ending, the lights will turn on indefinitely due to "fever time."
* Whirlwind - At Chamma Peak, there will be intermittent gust of winds blowing over the stadium. It is very strong and will mess with the concentration and rythm of the players.

**Matches**

As mentioned above, starting in Round 3, more of the fights are set up in special locations rather than the traditional arena, each with special characteristics, thus the chart below also will list that out.

 19-22

Technically it is not specifically clear when certain players were eliminated, whether it was in Round 2 or Round 3 (i.e. Loser, Blue Rose, Sihwan Eun), but by Round 4, it is more clear who the remaining players. There are only 3 players in Round 4 that are never mentioned by name or implied, thus it could be possible that some of the earlier victors in Round 1 could have made it to Round 4, but that cannot be fully confirmed or denied. Thus the players that are unclear are marked with an asterisk (\*) as there is a possiblity that they may have passed on to Round 4 but is defeated at that point.

Also, not all matches were shown on screen. Thus, those that won or lost off screen will be shown by the use of (✩). With Sihwan, considering that he is an odd case (whether he particpated) will be shown with (✦). That said, there were 2 other fighters that won & around 14 other fighters that lost.

## Round 4 (Round of 16)

**Arenas:**

There is a final arena as it is named "Athens Stadium." It has the best auditorium, relay room, optimal enviroment for players, and having the advanced facilties. There is am event where a single player can choose their opponents based on who is the fastest to knock down Charles. Charles wears blurry goggles and cannot use his hands as handicap. There are only two results depicted in the story: Yeongha - 32 seconds and Lucky Guy - 2 **seconds .**

**Gimmicks:**

Tiger: DeadlineMonkey: Bamboo GroveSheep: ???In the stadium, there are there are about 12 special devices called 12 zodiac signs in this stadium that affect the game. Only 3 are used.

* Tiger: Deadline - A square laser that acts as a border. It shrinks graduadly and when touched, it counts as a failure. Players has 2 chances otherwise they will lose by default.
* Monkey: Bamboo Grove - Bunch of bamboo shoots up to the ground and acts as part of the setting to the stadium.
* Sheep: ??? - Fog comes from the sheep statue and pours into the arena. It blocks all visions and limits movability.

**Matches**

Although the matches gets thinner and thinner; showing more of who won and lost, there are a little bit that was held off-screen. Thus, those that won or lost off screen will be shown by the use of (✩). That said, there were 2 other fighters that lost.

The arena is the same as the previous round but with a new gimmick.
