The appearance of e-sports some years back had brought excitement to the life of many sports lovers, especially football fans. E-sports are growing rapidly by the day with a lot of people joining the sport either as audience or team owners. There are currently 196 e-sport teams of which 150 are football clubs. People are having fun and earning income at the same time, from the games they love to play most especially professional gamers. With e-sport, a user can invest into managing his own e-sport team. What was once a users’ hobby has been monetized and rewarded according to one's ability in competitive games with big earnings. One of such games is EtherCup which is integrated to the real World Cup Russia 2018.
What is EtherCup?
EtherCup is an innovative e-sport platform where cryptocurrencies lovers and/or football lovers meet to play and manage their own football team while earning in cryptocurrency. The beauty of EtherCup is that it is a crypto asset, not a collectible like CryptoKitties, CryptoCelebrities etc.
How it works
The virtual game on EtherCup is in relation to the real-life world cup 2018 taking place in Russia. 32 national teams are listed in the marketplace on the platform. A user buys a national team and follows their performance in the real-life event. The players on the teams are locked in the virtual game. 3 players are unlocked when a user buys a team at the starting price with the team becoming unavailable in the marketplace. After 24 hours, it appears in the marketplace. A user can decide to hold or sell. Other users that are interested will have to buy from a current owner at a private sale if he is willing to sell, at 20% above the starting price. Not selling will cost 5% from the current price and that will last 24 hours. A user gets to unlock a player randomly any time the team scores in real-life performance. The team can be sold at a profit or wait to complete making a football team that competes in the next stage of the game.
