Welcome to the first of the kind cybersports tournament with cryptocurrency rewards!

This Tournament was created for the popularization of cryptocurrency in the field of cybersports and opposite.


We believe that in the nearest future cybersports and cryptocurrency will be closely connected. The ideology of cryptocurrencies is decentralization and total freedom in terms of operation of personal assets, simple and fast transactions of money to any point in the world in seconds with minimal commissions. Thus, we can attract players from all over the world and reward them at once without any bureaucracy.

CRYPTO CUP TOURNAMENT is performed in two stages:

1 - Open qualification
2 - Main Tournament

Open qualification is available for any player from any country and any league.

TOP 16 players from qualification will pass to the main stage. And 16 more players will be directly invited to the main stage of the tournament. We decided to go this way in order to increase the quantity of strong and interesting players in the main stage of the tournament thus providing more exciting games.

Awful idea, don't try to link Starcraft to cryptos that were designed for criminal organisations.

These crypto maniacs are trying real hard to bump the market again - now trying to invade TL.

This is a pretty ridiculous post... While there is a small subset of people who are using cryptos for criminal activity the number is much smaller than people using fiat currencies for criminal activity. Major crypto's like bitcoin and ethereum are actually more transparent about transactions than any other form of payment as anyone can audit all transactions that have occurred on the blockchain.

It's also safer for the competitors to participate in a tourney with a crypto prize pool because as long as the organizers provide there public wallet address (they should) all competitors can be sure the tournament can actually pay the prize pool they are offering.

As far as the tournament is concerned I hope it goes well and good luck to the participants!

Hello, the prize pool is only worth $200 anyway so I don't think there is any concern of not paying it but there is concern that:
1) the prize will be worth less
2) it will be hard to extract the value in real terms from many countries
3) that the prize could be supporting criminal activity

Fake money fake prizes - shoo. This is a stunt.

Agreed, it is quite unlikely that non-payment is an issue but the point remains a possibility.

#1 You have no way of knowing if the price will be worth more or less in fiat so that isn't even a point.
#2 Their are a plethora of options in almost every developed country to exchange crypto for fiat, the OP gives 2 options.
#3 A prize pool of USD or euro's could just as easily be supporting criminal activity, this is irrelevant.

ETH is currently the second biggest crypto in terms of value if you personally don't see it as a valuable asset that is your decision but their are hundreds of thousands people that see it as a completely legitimate form of payment. Implying that the prize is not real is simply your biased opinion.

In my opinion tournaments like these are adding value to e-sports and I don't see any reason we should shun them.

It's incredible how misinformed you are.

Fiat (mainly USD) is still the largest (by billions and billions) being used for criminal activity. Using your logic: oh noes, let's not have SC2 tournaments where people can win USD, it supports criminal activity!

Where did you get your information, the main stream media and/or facebook?

Fiat will never be as transparent as crypto's already are.

The Big Apple is also home to some of the leading innovators in the blockchain space, from Blockstack and the Winklevosses’s Gemini to ConsenSys and L03 in distributed energy grids. uPort is working on one of blockchain’s most important applications: the self-sovereign digital identity, owned by an individual, not by a digital conglomerate or social media company. In this way, the city is reinventing media, advertising, and the creative industries through blockchain technology 8 Ball Pool Google Hangouts Omegle

In such a nascent, rapidly growing industry, we can safely say that this list will look different in a year or even a month—nonetheless the next time the World Cup rolls around in 2022. We therefore welcome your views.
