Fishtimal Gaming · The Arena

PC Gaming Competitions With Real Prizes.

The Arena is where the house runs ladders, brackets, and squad nights for the games you actually play, with prizes paid through the same public ledger as everything else.

Three Formats

Compete the Way Your Game Is Played.

Ranked ladders, brackets, and squad nights are the three shapes an Arena season can take. A season announces its game and format before entry opens.

  1. Ranked Ladders

    Climb over a season. Every match counts, and the top of the ladder at the close takes the prize.

    For games with a ranked mode and a long tail of regulars.
  2. Brackets

    A single event with a start and a crown. Enter, get seeded, and play until one name is left.

    For fighting games, shooters, and anything with a clean one-versus-one or team round.
  3. Squad Nights

    A standing night for a game the house plays together. Declare the game on your profile and get called when it runs.

    Casual by design, with prizes on the nights the house sponsors.

How a Season Runs

Announce. Enter. Play. Crown.

Every Arena season follows the same four beats the house already uses for its competitions. The game and the format are announced, entry opens to members, matches are played and reported, and the standings are ruled.

The ruling is what pays. A season's standings become awards on the ledger, and the ledger is public.

One Identity Everywhere

Declare Your Games Once. Get Called When They Run.

Your Fishtimal profile carries the games you play, and the house reads it. A squad night for a game you declared pings you; a bracket for it seats you.

The web, Discord, and the record are one identity. Your standing, rank, and history follow you into the Arena and back out.

Prizes

Paid Through the Public Ledger.

Arena prizes are paid the way every Fishtimal prize is paid: recorded on the generosity ledger with proof, sent to the winner, and counted in the house total.

A prize pool is announced with its season. Nothing is promised before that.
