Play2Live Hosts Crypto Prize Tournament for Counter-Strike Teams
On February 25, a lucky Counter-Strike team will compete for a cryptocurrency reward instead of traditional cash. Play2Live, the organizers of the tournament, are offering a first place prize of $100,000 in their in-house digital currency, LUC (Level Up Coin).
Tournament Details
A total of eight Counter-Strike teams will participate in the tournament, with seven receiving invitations and one team qualifying through an open qualifier. The event will take place live at the Falcon Club in Minsk, Belarus. Play2Live is a live-streaming company that provides various crypto revenue options for the streamers they host. Payments are made in LUC, which can easily be converted into other cryptocurrencies. This provides streamers with more financial flexibility. Additionally, viewers on Play2Live have the opportunity to earn tokens by watching ads, sharing bandwidth, and completing tasks assigned by the streamers they watch.
Quotes from Play2Live CEO
According to Alexey Burdyko, the CEO and Founder of Play2Live, the company invites gamers and esports fans to become early adopters of their platform and test the new ecosystem and high-speed internet provided by peer-to-peer CDN technology. He also expressed excitement in hosting the world’s first esports tournament with a crypto prize, which he believes will be a significant milestone in integrating blockchain technology into the gaming industry.
Unique Features of Play2Live
One of the standout features of Play2Live is the ability to live-bet with Level Up Coins during esports matches, providing a unique gambling experience not found on most other streaming platforms. Users can even place prop bets, such as predicting which player will score the first headshot. The potential for betting on even smaller details, like the AWP skin a pro player chooses to use, adds further excitement.
As the tournament unfolds, the winning team will face an interesting decision. Will they immediately convert their LUC winnings back into traditional currency, or will they take a risk and invest in the potential growth of these digital coins? The outcome will be revealed on the final weekend of February.
