Asura World’s goal is to create a utopian community for eSPorts. With their unique approach to the gaming world, they are on their way to achieve their goal.
The growth of live streaming competitive and non-competitive eSPorts, and their audiences, has increased exponentially the last several years. The way we watch content in both offline and online gaming continues evolve and viewership continues to grow.
eSPort tournaments have been around for decades – Harvard University hosted one of the first tournaments on October 19, 1972. Viewership at that tournament was just under 1000 people. Compare that to the first live-streamed eSPorts event, Dota 2 game in August 2011, that had a viewership of more than 1.5 million people. This kind of growth has no end in sight.
The increase of online viewership has supported the status of online streaming sites like Twitch TV, which has over 15 million daily viewers. Experts have estimated that each of these views spends at least 100 minutes viewing content. One market research report, released by Newzoo, found that competitive eSPorts alone generated 323 million viewers in the 2016. Of those, 161 million were considered casual viewers and 162 million viewers considered themselves eSPorts enthusiasts.
In a separate 2017 report, Newzoo reported that there were over 2 billion gamers worldwide that generated $101.1 billion USD in 2016. This astronomic growth in revenue has attracted huge deals from all over the gaming industry. Hardware manufacturers like NVIDIA and AMD and software developers like Microsoft are all clamoring to get on board. Even digital media giants like YouTube and Facebook are getting on the gaming band wagon with big sponsorship deals.
And now Asura World is ushering a new era with the world’s first self-sustainable eSPorts platform. Asura World can be broken down into four areas: eSPorts betting, professional guides, community matchmaking and tournament hosting, as well as forums and discussion. Asura Coin, an NEP-5 token which provides a range of functions and utility across the platform, will be the backbone of the world Asura is creating.
Asura Coin will used for payments, bets and stakes, and to incentivize the sharing of quality content, professional guides, forum contributions and more. Asura will also give members numerous opportunities to earn tokens hosting tournaments, contributing content, and providing value to the relevant community. The platform will also offer both free-to-use and paid content to its members.
Initially, Asura World will be focusing on four games:Global Operations, Counter Strike, King of Glory Dota 2, and League of Legends. Additional games will be added in the future as the platform continues to grow and gain users.
Asura Coin’s ICO, or Initial Coin Offering, is currently underway with one Asura Coin equaling $0.02 USD. Opportunities to purchase and earn coins begin in second quarter of 2018 when MVP ver 2.0 Alpha Launch/UI/Betting, Professional Guides, Streaming, Tournaments, Community Matchmaking, Community Centre, and Forums are expected to move live.
One of the unique aspects of the Asura’s platform is synergistic nature of its design. Coin holders can wager, stake, earn, pay, and reward others all within the system. One of Asura World’s greatest goals is to unite the global eSPort community by incentivizing users to helpful and kind to other users.
Asura World plans to offer in-depth gaming analysis by walking players through and educating them on professional gameplay's intricate detail, including teaching professional decision-making processes. They’ll also be educating members on winning strategies, situational advice, skill-builds, item-builds, and more. Asura is encouraging their content makers to develop guides and will be rewarded with ASA coins. Surprisingly, they don’t take any anything from content them. They’re doing this to encourage them to stay within Asura World to develop high quality guides.
The true difference between Asura and other platforms is the ability to use ASA coins to interact with, and encourage, users in their community. Users are able to earn rewards of ASA Coins, or “Community Points,” in a wide variety way. While coins are won through wagers, betting or as payment for content, Community Points are primarily provided user-to-user. Community points can be given for entertaining content as well as contributions to the overall community. Members will be able to exchange Community Points to ASA coins as they get to some thresholds.
A number of the Asura World team has experienced in both participating and organizing in local eSPorts tournaments. Often issues like time clashes and team absences and overlooked details may result in significant problems in the tournament. Asura World plans to eliminate the stress and obstacles for small tournament organizers, by utilizing an inbuilt community tournament platform. This will offer members the capability to host round-robin and group stages for both 1v1 and 5v5 matches.
The Community Centre at Asura World offers an entire forum section for users to share ideas and have a good time. Asura world is encouraging users to stay and socialize within the community, which in turn will build a stronger community and a more united platform. The forum is divided into sections including: general, match discussions, humorous content, stories, Gameplay Discussions, Tips and Tricks and others.
Everything in Asura World is focused on improving experience and maintaining an interactive community. They plan aim to involve the community in the decision-making process for as many facets of the platform as possible, gradually taking it forward into a self-sustainable platform for eSports.
With popularity of eSPorts growing with no end in sight, the market for online betting grows too. Estimates suggest about $649 million worth of bets were placed on eSPorts in 2016 alone. Some experts believe that by 2024 the sector could be worth $12.9 billion. The innovative ecosystem being developed by Asua is sure to be in the forefront of the eSPorts sector. Now is the time for gaming enthusiasts, professional and amateur alike, to become part of Asura World.
