The tournament will provide a competitive platform for players who are looking to create more value for their investments made through in-game activities and gain rewards like additional cryptocurrency, or Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), in addition to being connected with new people and having fun.

Stephanie Kuan, Chief Operating Officer of ESPL stated, “There’s a booming interest in the ecosystem surrounding P2E. This includes players who treat it as a full-time job, investors looking to finance technologies, communities looking to grow or pivot, and the excitement of discovering what viable cryptocurrency technologies can do for esports.”
