The best Counter-Strike players, along with two million fans, will participate in a cryptocurrency esports tournament. Fans will be able to bet on the results using tokens. Cryptocurrency esports tournament E-sports stars of the popular game Counter-Strike, will participate in a tournament that will be powered by cryptocurrencies. Fans will be able to type in scores using tokens. The tournament is sponsored by Verasity, a video, gaming and entertainment platform. Match results will be bet using its native token, VRA. The tournament will feature Nathan Schmitt (NBK) and top Asian player Kevin Susanto (Xccurate), who according to press reports has two million fans worldwide. Verasity has signed a long-term agreement with the players' agents. The platform is also in the process of obtaining the necessary gambling licenses in Curaçao. VRA competes with Basic Attention Token (BAT) The concept of the VRA token is very similar to Basic Attention Token (BAT), the Brave browser token. The company's CEO - RJ Mark Hain stated that the VRA, however, has some advantages over its more well-known competitor. VRA is environmentally agnostic and 100% of the revenue goes to the content creator. "The publisher has to get on board with using BAT to monetize those rewards. What we do is very different. We have nothing to do with the browser. If you work for a big publication like Bloomberg, Bloomberg has a video player that is powered by Brightcove. [...] And Bloomberg wants the reward, whether it's crypto or whatever. They take our SDK, it takes them about half an hour to install it, and then they control the monetization of all of that, everything that happens inside that video player and the ad stack, for themselves." - Hain said. According to Hain, Verasity is trying to capitalize on the e-sports boom that occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, in the future, the company may expand into other games such as chess and even classic sports such as soccer or basketball.
