## Event map

### Spawn Area

The Spawn Area was a chessboard with a golden trophy in the middle. It had many comedic easter eggs such as a pressure plate that kills you when you step on it, a grass block with a sign that quoted ItzIchigekai "Jak nie ma grassblocka to jest smutno" (which translates to: "If there is no grass block, It's sad") and a statue of a duck. Behind the white king on e4 was a hole in the wall that led to the Parkour competition which was set in the same theme. Multiple zone entrances were located there.

### Ice Cave

The Ice Cave was a cave with dozen of rooms with an ice theme (such as an ice floor and snow). This place had a hidden hole in the entrance and many hidden rooms including the racetrack covered by the big ice wall. Two competitions were held here: The Ice-boating Race 2 and Spleef. The entrance to this zone was on the stairs that were made to look like a snowy mountain.

### Rainbow Arena

The Rainbow Arena was a large arena with a multi-color platform in the middle where the Disappearing Colors competition was held.

### Mossy Cavern

The Mossy Cavern was a cave with a river flowing down forming a lake. The Cavern was divided into the higher part with a toilet and a portal taking the player back into the Spawn Area, the lower part where the King of Hill Competition was held. The Lower part also had a podium and an entrance to the Sumo Competition.

### Fighting Arena

The Fighting arena Was a big Hellish Castle with a magic elevator that took players to the PvP Tournament Lobby. The Castle had many traps behind paintings and a hidden place with a message written about a bonus competition that was too big of an idea that Laszek decided to save it for a different project, and a place to look at the event from behind the scene. The Tournament Lobby Had a Place to display players fighting in this round and a place to spectate ongoing round

## Competitions (Work in progress)

### Parkour

The Parkour competition was held on the side of the spawn area. It was made inside a high tube. Inside were four slime blocks in the middle and a place for making the course easier after some time. The competition was won by JRADAM who completed the course in 10 minutes and 34 seconds.

### Ice-boating Race 2

The Ice-boating Race 2 competition took place in the Ice Cave. The course had two floors: the first floor had four different paths, all leading to the next phase, while the second floor had a challenging track where players risked falling off. If they fell, they landed in a maze they had to complete before starting the race from the beginning. In the final phase, players had to drive in a long straight line to finish the course.

MegaBaNaNeK won the competition by completing the race in 13 minutes and 11 seconds. However, an unknown player (supposedly Oliczi) discovered an error in the Parkour competition and teleported every player back into it. This caused everyone to become tired and bored with the race, and they agreed that Plfkvv should finish second and ItzIchigekai third.

### Disappearing Colors

The Disappearing Colors competition was held at the Rainbow Arena. The game consisted of two rounds and included five modifiers: Beer (Nausea Effect), Sonic (Speed Effect), Pig, Fireballs, and Blindness.

During round 1, the players were on a multi-colored platform and their objective was to stay alive as long as possible while one of the colors would disappear, leaving a hole that led to the void. Mrlog15 won round 1 by staying alive for 2 minutes and 33 seconds, just one-tenth of a second longer than ydos who stayed alive for 2 minutes and 32 seconds. JRADAM came in third and stayed alive for 1 minute and 34 seconds.

In round 2, the players stood on the same platform with the same objective, but with a twist. This time, a chosen color would stay while all the others would disappear. MegaBaNaNeK won round 2 by outliving all of his opponents and not dying. Hubito112 came in second place by staying alive for 3 minutes and 2 seconds. Plfkvv was third and stayed alive for only 1 minute and 52 seconds.

### Spleef

During the first round of the Disappearing Colors competition, Oliczi discovered a bonus minigame hidden in a snowy staircase. After the round ended, players were teleported to the bonus game, which had been burned down by a thunderbolt, igniting the wood and wool. In this competition, the objective was to stay alive the longest while trying to mine the snow blocks under other players, if a player would touch the red concrete at the bottom of the competition he would die. The competition had to be restarted three times due to various issues, including players being too far apart to mine the block beneath them and another player exploiting a loophole to teleport all the players back to the lobby. In the final game, players used elytra and jump boost effects to avoid previous issues, and those who lost were teleported to a wooden box to prevent them from breaking the map. MegaBaNaNeK ultimately won the competition, with ydos coming in second and Hubito112 in third.

### King of The Hill

The king of the hill competition took place inside the mossy cavern. The objective was to reach a total of 10000 points as quickly as possible. The competition had three platforms that players could stand on to collect points. There were two Bronze platforms that awarded 1 point per tick each, one Iron platform that awarded 3 points per tick, and a Golden platform that awarded 5 points per tick. Tarantul won the competition, scoring a total of 10002 points. Mrlog15 was the runner-up with 7346 points and hubito112 came in third place with 5159 points.

### Sumo

The Sumo competition was like The King of The Hill held in the mossy cavern. The competition was divided into 8 rounds. In the first 7 rounds, 2 randomly selected players were teleported into the arena with the objective to knock another player off the platform. The final round was played between the last four remaining players - JustRightAdam, ydos, Oliczi and Wolfengor. The competition was Won by Wolfengor who managed to win a total of 5 rounds. Technically ydos won second place and Oliczi third place but due to the randomness of the competition, only first place was awarded points.
