[Unreal Tournament] Is the tournament held in real life or is it virtual reality?

In the original intro for Unreal Tournament they show 2 dudes in a tiny arena while telling you that you have been selected to fight. 

Does the Unreal Tournament actually happen? As in there are actual giant arenas where people fight with their real bodies and people die or do great fighters meet in a virtual arena to fight?

Yes iirc unreal Championship explained that most of the competitors are prisoners with extremely long life sentences that use teleportation and advanced technology to pull competitors out of a fight the instant they die and upload them into an entirely new body. Every death takes a day off their sentence and every victory takes a month with select volunteers that choose to join getting cash prizes for victories instead.  Unreal championship 2 had them taking part in a regional bloodsport where the victor would become ruler of the planet they were on but used corporate sponsors to help bring in money and competitors. Unreal tournament 3 was the military incorporated a smaller scale version of the teleport / cloning technology to utilize it for warfare and had brought in former competitors to act as trainers for the rank and file soldiers that were unfamiliar with how to cope with the technology.
