"Are you ready for the first PVP event of Survival 4?" William278, announcing the event

May Mayhem was a player-organised PvP tournament style event held on the 24^th of May, 2020. The event was structured as an elimination tournament, in which players partook in a series of one versus one PvP games. Challengers were provided with a standard kit of equipment which they had to use in battle and were restricted from using any other items. May Mayhem was organised by UnspeakableAl, Doblocks and ProTuberDC (now known as Idk_Fam), with Events Team member William278 streaming and coordinating the event live.

The Event

The event was well received when announced, garnering a good number of registrants. In all, 21 players signed up for the event, with 19 showing up on the day. Battles were efficiently held and the fast pace of the event helped keep players interested throughout. For the event, a special area was built containing six arenas as well as a special sky island arena for the final set and third place "bronze" match. All games aside from the finals, which were a best of three, were single knockout.

Arenas

Iskallium Ravine - A rocky arena featuring a central ravine, the bottom of which was lined with lime glass to imitate Iskallium. If players were knocked or fell into the ravine, they automatically lost.
The Dojo - An arena replicating part of ReNDoG's Japanese-style "Tomato Yoshi-sensei" Dojo base from Hermitcraft Season 6.
Desert - An oval-shaped sandy arena featuring sandstone structures providing cover from arrow fire.
Airfield - A muddy, flat arena representing an airfield. The arena featured an airplane at one end.
End City - An arena replicating the base building of an end city. Chorus flowers littered the surroundings.
Forest - A forested arena featuring large coniferous trees and tall grass.
Sky Island - The final arena, only used for the finals and third place "bronze" match. It was comprised of a single floating island with a tree and pond.
