IndiGG Web3 Championship Overview

The championship in Bengaluru was hosted and managed by the community itself with the IndiGG clan chiefs managing the entire execution end to end. Games ‘EV.io’ and ‘Thetan Arena’ were the games chosen by the community for the championship with ‘Venture X Gaming’ as the title sponsor for the event. 

The first leg of the $200,000 USD championship saw intra-college tournaments in 64 colleges for each of the games. The top 64 teams for each game then engaged in a journey to the top 8, followed by quarterfinals, semifinals and the grand finals. The championship was capped off with an exhibition match amongst the top gaming influencers in the country.

During the championship, the members had an opportunity to build their on-chain reputation as they were awarded badges. The badges are digital tokens that recognize and reward an individual's involvement and contribution to an online community. The participating gamers were rewarded with ‘Proof-of-Participation’ badges, similarly, the winners received ‘Proof-of-Victory’ badges and the first-time viewers were able to mint a ‘Proof-of-Watch’ badge during the livestream of the event.

Apart from the tournament, IndiGG also commenced the reputation program which will help build a public record of an athlete's performance. The data will help the evaluation of an athlete’s reliability and sportsmanship in the esports space. The records will also establish credibility and trustworthiness around esports athletes that can be leveraged by teams, coaches and sponsors while onboarding an athlete.
