Esports for some is a familiar word, while for some others might be a word they are not so familiar with. Permit me to give you a quick breakdown
WHAT IS ESPORT?
This is an online game played by two players or more and are viewed by viewers or game fans.Most times this games being viewed are played by professional players in order to give maximum entertainment to the viewers.
HISTORY OF ESPORT
The history of esport definitely can’t be of ancient as it relates to technology, the first esport game was the game known as SPACEWAR. The event was held at the Harvard University on the 19th of October,1972 with nothing but about 1000 viewer. It was so low then because people were not accustomed to the trend. So they didn’t bother their heads about it. As time went and as technology advanced,the popularity of Esports started increasing and as at 2011, on the month of August the DOTA 2 was receiving over 1.5million viewers worldwide. This is far great improvement from the previous dats I mentioned above. And this growth continued to increase even up to this present time. This leads me to introducing you to a top Esport project known as ASURA and what its promises to the crypto verse.
WHAT IS ASURA?
Asura is an independent esport platform with a main aim to its community system at large

ESPORT BETTING
The esport betting market has seen a rapid growth to the tune of USD649million being staked for esport games in 2016. And it could be even more, because the bettings that occurin the unregulated markets are so large.
It is predicted by EILERS AND KREJCIK that by the year 2020, export betting would have about USD12.9Billion invested into it. This in turn will create huge revenue for esport programme owners and operators to the tune of USD1billion from just the esport betting market alone.
ASURA AIMS IN THE ONLINE BETTING SYSTEM.
Asura aims to help the revolution from old esports betting through cash and skin wagers, into a more transparent market using cryptocurrency. Asura plans to create a very friendly interface so gamers can easily partake in esport events. Also, so they can place the best bet on their favorite team and receive rewards if well played.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ASURA ESPORTS BETTING
AND REGULAR ESPORTS BETTING
(I)Special betting rules :- More attention will be placed on esports ,and also the bets will be more random than the usual esports betting platform.
(II)Community-voted bets :- Asura will be giving members the privilege to bring in their betting ideas/opinions . This does not happen in the regular esport platforms. All winners will be paid in Asura Coins.
PROFESSIONAL GUIDES
Most times players seek to get better by watching other experienced players play games .This is old and is not the best way to build yourself as a player. With Asura you will be provided with analysis and tips to help you learn and get better as a player . Everyone needs coaching at some point, Asura will easily be your coach.
COMMMUNITY MATCH CREATION
You cannot deny the fact that most humans love competition, wanting to know who is better than the other and stuff like that. Aside competiting, humans also love winning so competition is a must. This is why Asura platform has made provision for users to take themselves on, by hosting games on their own . This games could be 1v1 or 5v5 matches. To ensure it’s a fair and transparent game , both players make sure to agree to already laid down terms before proceeding into the game. Once the terms of agreement are met, staked funds are immediately to be transmitted to the Asura platform, the minute processing fee is chargesd, then by the help of smart contract technology, results are determined and the winner receives all he or she won.
COMMUNITY TOURNAMENT
In the current esports system, there is room for community tournaments, but there are challenges that makes it almost impossible to handle. Challenges like a team absence and sometimes , time clash factors . This above mentioned issues limit the progress of the tournament. Asura has a solution for this, with their internally built community tournament platform, with provision for round-robin and group stages games for both 1v1 and 5v5 tournament matches.
