The Sixth Umbral Calamity - was Blitzball the reason?

We all know the Sixth Umbral Calamity was a great flood that emerged as a consequence of the War of the Magi between Mhach and Amdapor.

So I thought about what might have happened to the respective reflection to have tilted it hard enough in the direction of water to allow for a Rejoining.

Then it hit me: Blitzball!

Think about it - Blitzball in FFX was a worldwide phenomenon, everybody loved Blitzball. What does Blitzball require? That's right, an arena full of water.

So what if the Ascians convinced the inhabitants of whichever reflection they sought to rejoin to transform their entire world into a giant Blitzball arena?

I hope that's not the case, because I want one of the remaining reflections to be the Blitzball world, but unfortunately I think it would have been the smartest for the Ascians to use such a world for a rejoining. Maybe the Ascians actually invented Blitzball for their own twisted purposes...

Blitzball was definitely a calamity.

This is amazing effort for the thirst of the game to be added to FFXIV. 10/10.

What if Blitzball was actually an ancient sport and just like with creation Magic the ascians then twisted it and gave it to the sundered people for their nefarious Plans.

Thus when the inevitable blitz ball side content comes we will once again go to elpis bc the only players able to Challenge the WoL otherwise are the Mandervilles.

Not saying this means anything at all in relation to this thread, but incidentally the shard sacrificed to produce the Great Flood was the Tenth, according to

the simulation in the Occular when Crystal Exarch explains the shards and calamities to WoL.

This is hilarious, I didn't even know! Thank you for the info! :D

So the War of the Magi was started when two different blitzball team fans had a disagreement in pub...
