The Esports Players League (ESPL) announced 'ESPL Arena,' a new host-to-earn platform aiming to blend web3 with the esports industry. This platform allows for User-Generated Tournaments (UGT) whereby tournament organizers can easily establish a tournament, allowing players on the platform to enter, participate in, and upload scores.
The main draw to ESPL Arena over alternative esports hosting platforms is its prize distribution. This platform offers prizes in the form of web3 assets, such as cryptocurrency tokens and NFTs, which are automatically distributed to winners following the conclusion of a tournament. Additionally, these distributions are public and transparent via the blockchain, allowing for easy moderation by Marshalls who can sort out any discrepancies.
As ESPL Arena is the first host-to-earn platform in the web3 space, tournament organizers are allowed to charge a fee for registration, which can include NFTs or tokens. With ESPL Arena, the ESPL is aiming to make competitive gaming more transparent and efficient while offering new opportunities to its community of over 280,000 active users.
