Sozai Games

The Sozai Games are an annual event taking place in Sozai. The competitors are members of three countries: Sozai, Kydoy, and Aegalos. Though there are multiple events, the signature event that is the most viewed and cared about, is the battle royale. Similar to gladiator fights in Ancient Rome, the battle royale features 3 rounds of 1 v 1 v 1 fights between members of each country to the death. The winner of each round receives one point for his country. If there is a tie after the three rounds, the winners of each round will face off to determine the winner in a tie-breaking fourth round.

If a competitor wins their battle royale three years in a row, the become known as a Grand Champion and are exempt from fighting in future fights. Instead they receive great fame, fortune, and become personal bodyguards of the king.

History
The Sozai Games have been going on for hundreds of years. Winners are revered and praised by millions. It is extremely difficult to win three years in a row, but it has been done before. The most infamous fighter was Zero’o, a man from Sozai who easily won three battles in a row. Because of his lust for battle, he refused to be promoted to Grand Champion. He won three more years in a row, but went on a rampage, killing audience members. After finally being restrained, Zero’o was put in prison and shunned from the Games and the country.
