Breaking News: Another Name for the Banzuke?!

Not a hoax! Not a dream! Not an imaginary story!

The Great Arena was stunned just five days ago when m0s achieved the remarkable feat of completing all seven layers of Daruma 7 to become the games first champion in over five thousand games. Expectations were quickly dashed when, just yesterday, a second champion was crowned when Genku achieved victory!

If you doubted that m0s was worthy of the title of "Mr. Daruma," you spoke too soon! The first ever winner of the event managed to do it all again, scoring another victory with his 281st attempt at victory!

  • 1. m0s August 22, 2011 (158th)
  • 2. Genku August 26, 2011 (172nd)
  • 3. m0s August 27, 2011 (281st)

The shocking turn of events is such a departure from normal proceedings, the wins have left many speculating about the legitimacy of the wins. It has been estimated that there is a 1 in 1371 probability of successfully completing all seven layers of the Daruma 7, making the crowning of these recent champions statistically overdue based on the 5000+ games that have been played.

In fact, with the total number of games being tallied at 5452 upon Genku's win, a fourth champion seems statistically probable (after 5484 games). This, of course, does not mean a champion will be crowned tomorrow, or even in the next nine months. It will be very exciting waiting to see who and when it is, though.
