NFT games, metaverses and esports

Metaverses and the digital assets industry as a whole tend to cross over with the world of esports more and more often. We can see how the border between these two worlds is getting thinner whereas the names of blockchain projects appear in headlines with collaboration with esports clubs.

One of the recent examples is collaboration between Cloud9 and, perhaps, the most popular NFT game — Axie Infinity. The parties decided to expand their influence in the spheres that don’t have enough of it. Therefore, players of Axie Infinity got familiar with the esports club C9 whereas Cloud9 fans got to know about the NFT project Axie Infinity. Besides, the collaborators prepared a special tournament where esports stars are going to participate in, and contestants will be fighting for a prize pool for motivation.

A similar but slightly different decision was reached by the developers of Guild of Guardians who started collaborating with other esports organizations. These developers.went further than the developers from Axie Infinity and managed to get support from many clubs. Besides, the collaboration will imply not only a brand upgrade but also monetisation of this decision.

What are the characters? How much do they cost?

In total, there will be eight types of legendary heroes available, representing each of their esports clubs. Therefore, every fan of the mentioned organizations will get a chance to buy a character that belongs to one of the esports organizations.

The cost of the characters will be around $100. The exact price was not stated because of the rate of Ethereum.

The blockchain is essentially a solution of the second level that is implemented on Ethereum, however, unlike the latter, it has numerous advantages that are perfect for NFT projects. It can boast its high speed of transactions and, which is more important — absence of commission for a money transfer. Overall, Immutable X was created as a special collusion for NFT game and Web3 technologies, so the choice of developers is surely successful.
