In addition, the tournament will be in free-to-play mode for everyone to join and is now live on the ESL site. With the ecosystem of industry leaders and a unique concept, Runiverse's premiere run-to-earn tournament is set to be a highly anticipated event for the gaming community as gamers now can experience a fully immersive and interconnected world where gaming, crypto, and esports converge.

"We believe the tournament's social competition aspect will present a significant development in bridging the gap in the gaming world by bringing the strongest communities together and experiencing a combined showcase of skillful players from different communities," said Gip Cutrino, COO, Runiverse.

通过integrating blockchain technology and social competition, Runiverse has developed a unique 'run-to-earn' concept that provides an immersive and secure environment for players to participate in racing. Participants' speed in the 30-second game is determined by the performance of the various tokens on the crypto market. Additionally, the game offers a range of unique tracks to keep players engaged and foster a sense of community among competitors. Players can also earn rewards by participating in rallies and holding Runiverse's player's NFTs, which offer a 6% reward from the prize pool, it noted.
