Format
Floor Is Lava is all about staying on top. Once the incendiary lava rises, you'll have to fight for the elevated positions on the map! While you're running from the lava, you can fight off your enemies by throwing collected items at them. When you eliminate enemies, you draw stamina from them and heal yourself with it. In the process, the normal weapons have been replaced by harpooners with infinite shots. There are also explosive items galore! The harpooner does only 1 damage to players, but 150 damage to buildings. In addition, you can run faster with the pickaxe equipped, making it easier to escape the lava.
Participating in the Solo and Squads Tournaments
Each competition segment lasts approximately three hours. You may participate in a maximum of twelve matches during a competition segment. Both a solo and a Squads Tournament will take place tomorrow, January 14, simultaneously at 18:00. At the end of the event, according to the terms of service, the players with the most points according to the game's leaderboard of each region will be rewarded with cosmetic prizes.
Prizes
The following prizes are up for grabs in the Solo Tournament:
- Pickaxe "Controller Staff" with a controller attached to the end of it.
- Emote "Controller-Crew" (Have fun with your gamepad)
The prizes are divided among the regions as follows:
- Europe: 1st - 3,200th rank
- North America (East): 1st - 2,000th rank
- North America (West): 1st - 800th rank
- Brazil: 1st - 800th rank
- Asia: 1st - 400th rank
- Oceania: 1st - 400th rank
- Middle East: 1st - 400th rank
The prizes of the Squads Tournament seem to be a bit more interesting:
- Outfit "TheGrefg" (A reactive outfit ... Dye him red and electrocute him!).
- Back Bling "Balls of Power", which consists of floating balls.
However, it also seems like you have to try harder here, as only the following region rankings will receive the prizes:
