eSports Move To Guild Of Guardians
The developers interpret this move as a landmark partnership for the entire gaming industry. The plan is to incentivize a win-win, symbiotic cycle of success between sports teams, their fans, and, in turn, Guild of Guardians, creating long-term collaboration rather than extraction.
Their Web3 approach involves partnering on co-marketing and activations by aligning team incentives with outcomes. Rather than spending billions on traditional marketing, rewards are proportional to a team’s contribution to Guild of Guardian’s success.
How Will It Work?
Guild of Guardians plans to implement the integration in three phases:
Phase 1: IP Integration
Integrate the eSport brands into the universe of Guild of Guardians. Playable characters are either exclusively sold or will be made exclusively available to players in the game.
Phase 2: Leaderboard Competitions
Guild of Guardians will not stream live gameplay or Esport hosted in stadiums (at least not for a while!). Instead, there will be a democratized eSport system. Anyone can participate and compete as part of global leaderboard systems. Players and guilds can compete for leaderboard rewards. There is also talk of “factions” where players align themselves to an eSport IP a faction). These eight factions will compete and either win or lose.
Phase 3: New Content / Modes
They plan to add new content and modes that incorporate social cooperation and competition between players and guilds through Guilds. These will tie into the Esport factions and tournament-like systems.
