The Gauntlet - Minecraft Gaming Event
Welcome to the PC Minecraft server's
The Gauntlet event! I have been tinkering away at a secretive challenge project for the last few weeks, enlisting the help of several members as my guinea pigs, but the time has come to open the event up to everyone else! I'm really excited about this event and you all should be too because you can win some extremely awesome prizes!
What is the Gauntlet?
The Gauntlet consists of ten extremely difficult levels of challenging battles against the mobs of Minecraft. Anything goes in this intense arena-style bloodbath and the difficulty is steep. Why is it so difficult? Because the prize pool is one of the best you'll ever see on the server and you can expect to win some impossibly good gear and loot.
When you enter the first arena, you will be asked to place your gear into chests for safekeeping. Avoid bringing anything and make sure you empty your inventory because if you die, you won't get anything back from the Gauntlet. You'll be given your fighting equipment, a weapon, and even some food to sustain your life to the end. Once you're suited up and ready, standing on the quartz block unleashes the Director of Chaos with their bag of tricks.
The Director of Chaos has one goal: Make sure you don't make it to the end. The Director has access to Minecraft's mobs and can unleash swarms of silverfish, hordes of zombies, or schools of Guardians against you to prevent you from reaching the next level. Be prepared for anything and expect to die.
Fabulous prizes
The prizes are really great and you will have earned every prize if you're able to get to the end of the Gauntlet.
The prizes are tiered and become exponentially better as you compete in additional Gauntlets.
