The Sumo Arena

***Sumo Arena History***

The Sumo Arena was originally created on the 1.15 server by Offtomitry as a fun minigame to play when he was bored, it was a small platform out in the middle of nowhere and he would ask people to play with him, the first testers of the game were MillieStopsHate, more commonly known as Eleven and Tortle05, who still sometimes plays sumo to this day.

But after a DDOS vulnerability was found in the server, the server went down for a couple days, and after it came back up, Offtomitry's sumo home was gone, so he stopped thinking about sumo for a while and focused on building a chunk error, and after 4 weeks of on and off digging (2 of which he was banned for) Offtomitry had finished the pit and had an idea, he was going to bring sumo back.

He started construction on a new platform above the chunk error, slightly bigger but this time with a beacon underneath it, which he hoped would stop players from dying if he put resistance and regeneration on it, which worked, kind of...

After few days of playing sumo on a dinky platform with nothing around it, Offtomitry decided to finish his original vision of the sumo arena and build the viewing area, so he stayed up late at night watching game theory, working out the dimensions and design of the platform, and the next day with the help of \_MCVince\_ and Chirpe he finished off the viewing platform and the Japanese style ultra VIP viewing area with a bell and Japanese archway.

Within the next week The Sumo Arena as a whole was refined, and the glass viewing area was replaced with barrier blocks courtesy of the almighty KayzMayz.

Today The Sumo Arena is a place where debates can be settled with your fists and tournaments can be held in vc 1 (Mango you dumb\*ss)

***The Tournament(s)***

***The First Tournament***

The first Sumo tournament was held on the first iteration of the second platform, which did not have a beacon, but was the same platform as the newest version on the 1.15 server, the prize was 2 diamond blocks, and was very messy, people weren't in vc, there wasn't a proper viewing area, and the board was ugly af, the winner was Laura (AKA Ieuw) and although it wasn't great, it paved the way for the future of the Sumo Arena, and without it there would have never been a Second Tournament.

***The Second Tournament***

The Second Tournament was held on the most recent iteration of the arena,the prize was about 40 diamond blocks and a whole bunch of other valuables and had around 20 people participate, it also almost didn't happen as Offtomitry's family decided to have a BBQ on the day, and didn't tell him until an hour before the event, then there was a rocky start as Mango was telling people to join vc 1, which could only fit 4 people in, what a dumb\*ss, but after 10 minutes of stupidity, the event was finally ready to start, and then it turned out about a quarter of the people that signed up didn't arrived, thanks guys :) but the show must go on, so with the people he had Offtomitry mustered up a tournament, people fought, Mackers got DDOSed, people died, and salmon people fought, the favourites of the tournament were:

* Wolf
* Laura
* Aqua
* Mango

* Offtomitry

Laura eliminated wolf

Aqua was eliminated

and the two favourites left were Offtomitry and Mango, the two muskateers, the GODS of sumo, it came down to 1 final duel, no one was in the vc, they were all alone, staring at eachother , 1 with a whole lot to win, won with a whole lot to give away, as Offtomitry counted he switch his pointer finger with his pinky, and started clicking about 2cps, and alas, although Offtomitry won 90% of their previous duels, Mango won it all, what a stunning defeat to Offtomitry, better luck next time.
