Description

Decentraland's transformation into a Web3 esports hub is sought by Chain Challenger, with the goal of hosting 12 Web3 gaming tournaments within six months. We have estimated that each event will have at least 2,000 people in attendance, resulting in a total of 24,000 unique attendees across the 12 events scheduled over 6 months.

These tournaments will feature live streams of popular Web3 competitive games, ensuring a diverse range of game genres to cater to different interests and preferences within the gaming community. External Web3 gaming projects, guilds, KOLs, and gamers will be onboarded through the facilitation of regular AMA sessions and the live-streaming of tournaments.

A predict-to-earn model will be introduced, allowing users to predict tournament outcomes with $MANA, with prizes from a jackpot pool being potentially won, sponsored in part by gaming projects.

Further activities, such as raffle events and Q&A sessions, are considered for participation and sentiment enhancement. Successful execution necessitates a dedicated team, infrastructure, sponsorships, and effective promotion within the specified timeframe.
