**The Heart Cup**, also known as the **Finale** or the **Final Fight** for Season 2, was a PvP event hosted by **JackaL** and **Bottyde**.

The event initially was a way for the winner to gain an extra heart during the season, however, this advantage was moved to Season 3, as the events of the tournament would result in a very abrupt end to the server.

## Planning

**Bottyde** and **JackaL** initially began work on the event after **JackaL** pitched the idea in an effort to revive the server. This piqued **Bot's** interest, who would agree and the two would immediately begin planning.

The two initially planned to allow betting, which they would steal the funds from and run. However, the pair pondered the practicality of such, and decided against it.

## The Event

The beginning of the event saw multiple bracket clashes. The favorites to win were clearly **TR1CK, Vampsy, JackaL** or **Jupiter.** However, these players were place in separate brackets and would not clash for a fair amount of time.

The brackets were organized so that players with the most hearts would go up against the better PvPers, as most of the PvP players had already lost some hearts due to other circumstances.

Additionally, **Bottyde** would not participate in the event for fairness and also to ensure that he could make it clear that this was "his" event (not in an egotistical way, it was just necessary to have a showrunner). This meant that **TR1CK** would not have an event in the first bracket, and would face up against the winner of the first and second battles in his Bracket (**StitchTheBlue, Pontastics and Mayonnaiseguy** were not present, which also meant **Jupiter** would fight the winner of **Azalyx vs Vampsy**).

### First Round Results

* TR1CK immediately passes two rounds. (7)
* Vampsy beats Azalyx. (6)
* Jupiter loses to WintersGem (5)
* Boofy makes it to next round. (4)
* JackaL beats electral0k (Sword + Totem) (3)
* R14g beats Bitter\_nymph (despite his 400ms) (2)
* LarryKoopa beats BlueCyanide (1)

These results were largely expected due to the differences in PvP skills. The favorites all made it out of the first round as expected.

### Second Round Results

* TR1CK does not fight anyone this round
* Vampsy beats WintersGem
* In the most unexpected result in the entire event, Boofy beats JackaL (due to JackaL's lack of skill in Axe & Shield)
* Larry beats R14g as expected.

JackaL losing his round against Boofy sent shockwaves across the tournament. However, this proved to be advantageous for JackaL, as his plan would brew and ultimately be taken out after the event...

### Third Round Results

* Larry expectedly beats Boofy with a relatively indisputable win
* In a turn of events, despite his skills, TR1CK loses to Vampsy.

This leaves the final fight down to LarryKoopa vs Vampsy, which was an unexpected match-up for the tournament.

### The Lead Up

JackaL and Bot pull the two finalists into the meeting room, where they decide on Sword & Totem PvP as their fight. With a speech from both of the event runners, the two take a small break before the event.

Meanwhile, JackaL and Bot discuss what will occur once the event concludes, deciding that they will enact **their plan.**

### The Final Round

The crowd ran wild. The server was muted for the duration of the fight to ensure focus was maintained for the participants. With JackaL commentating, the doors lowered for the fight to begin.

The first initial hits were trades. However, Larry quickly got the upper hand. He popped Vampsy, and the latter retaliated by also popping Larry. This resulted in a flurry of traded hits, until finally, Larry emerged as the victor. With fireworks going off, and the announcement being made that Larry had won, everyone ran wild.

The server migrated across the valley to the Government Building. Speeches were given on the stage about the event. However, midway through Larry's speech...

## The Attack

### The Government Building Attack

The Government Building suddenly exploded in front of the stage, with an achievement also appearing in chat. **"NotJackaL has achieved [Withering Heights]".** Everyone shouted and announced they would be hunting JackaL immediately. JackaL pearled away, waiting for the players to target the Wither.

With this, JackaL began quickdropping R14g, with TR1CK attempting to get involved but Jupiter interfering. JackaL continued to attack R14g, with Vampsy jumping in to attack JackaL. JackaL severely out-geared the two, and was doing significant damage. Larry jumped in to stop the assailant, but Vampsy had to combat log to save himself, and JackaL made a swift exit by splashing himself with invisibility and removing his armour after gaining distance.

### The Distractions

Meanwhile, Jupiter and TR1CK fought back and forth, with Jupiter swooping in and out of battle using Elytra. This significantly disadvantaged those who attempted to run away or defend the monuments which had already been partially destroyed by JackaL's rampant destruction using TNT.

JackaL would continue to spawn withers in the Spawn area as to keep the server occupied. However, this would lead in to more sneak attacks.

### The Jumpings

JackaL ran into Azalyx and ThePrecious8 at the former arena. This gave him the opportunity to chase and kill them. After this, JackaL would begin to make his way back to 0,0. However, he also spotted Vampsy, Larry, R14g and MrBot. JackaL would quickdrop MrBot and damage the other three players present.
