"I hope to win the tournament": Maxtern excited to be part of first unofficial Squid Games in Minecraft tournament in India

Squid Game and Minecraft are two of today's biggest franchises. An unofficial Squid Games tournament is set to be hosted on 28 November 2021, in which popular streamers from India will be taking part.

Since both the South Korean Netflix series and sand-box game are immensely loved by viewers, the tournament is expected to be equally enjoyable. The tournament is being conducted by TGW Gaming, an Esports & Gaming event organizer, in collaboration with Loco, an Indian streaming and Esports platform.

Squid Games in Minecraft: Format and participants

The Squid Games in Minecraft competition tournament is scheduled to be held tomorrow at 5:00 PM IST onwards. The tournament will have a massive prize pool of INR 5 lakh.

The tournament is divided into five separate games, inspired by the survival games in the Squid Game. They are as follows:

Game 1 – Red Light, Green Light

Minecraft players will have to move when the light is green and stop when it turns red.

Game 2 – Honeycomb

Gamers will be given the duty to remove extra blocks around the shape in Minecraft.

Game 3 – Marbles

Luck

At this stage, the players who were disqualified will get the chance to join the game back. Minecraft gamers will have to collect five magma stick/cream thrown one after the other.

Skill

This game mode is the 1 vs 1 game mode where disqualified players will not get a second chance.

Game 4 – Glass Stepping Stones.

Players who have qualified via Skills (Game 3) will be awarded with one extra life. Minecraft gamers who are successful in crossing the bridge will qualify for the final round.

Game 5 – The Squid Game

This game is quite similar to a battle royale mode where players get a sword and a shield that they can use to become the last one standing.

A total of 25 gaming content creators will take part in the Squid Games Minecraft tournament. Out of them, only 13/14 players will reach Game 4, the Glass Stepping Stones.
