Online games have always been a great way to relax and have a good time with friends at home or in a computer club. Just a decade ago, small local tournaments with scarce prize funds were the only battlegrounds for the especially passionate contenders. Over the years, with the advent of online streaming services such as Twitch.tv and YouTube, cybersport industry has changed drastically. In 2018, the projected total eSports market revenue are close to 1 billion U.S. dollars with an audience of about 380 million people.
For example, let's consider the main annual Dota 2 event — The International. In 2017, with the help of the community, the total prize fund of the event was $24.78 million. During TI7 Grand Final all Dota 2 Twitch.tv streams combined reached 845,000 viewers, beating last year's TI6 record of 588,000 by 44%. It was the highest Dota 2 viewership on Twitch.tv in history.
The Asura World Platform
With the rapid growth of the eSports, there was a need to create a central hub for the gaming community, a more supportive and incentivizing environment for everyone, which will include all the necessary functions. The Asura Team intends to build a self-sustainable gaming platform that will create a new era for the cybersport industry.
The Asura World platform will include five major sections:
- eSports Betting & Tournament Live Stream — unique eSports-focused betting rules and community-voted bets.
- Professional Guides — learn from the best players to increase your gaming skills.
- Community Matchmaking — host your own 1v1 or 5v5 matches.
- Tournament Hosting — inbuilt community tournament platform will simplify the organization of small tournaments.
- Community Center — an entire community hub section for users to socialize, share ideas, and have a good time.
Initially, the platform will focus on 4 major games: CS:GO, Dota 2, King of Glory (the most-played MOBA mobile app in China) and League of Legends. In the future, the Asura community will decide what games should be added by voting. A more detailed overview of each section you can found in the official Asura Coin Whitepaper.
At this point you may asking: "What is the role of cryptocurrency in all this?". The Asura World will be built on the NEO network and fueled by the ASA Coin, an NEP-5 token. It will provide a range of functions within the platform and used as a coin for payments, bets and stakes. The platform is designed to incentivize and reward users for their contributions wherever possible. Asura World members can earn ASA Coins by winning said bets, matchmaking and hosted tournaments, creating quality coaching content, participating in monthly Asura World events in the Community Center.
The choise of NEO as main blockchain platform isn't accidental. It is suited to respect both privacy and regulatory concerns and also supported by great community that actively improving platform. NEO blockchain technology provide a much quicker transactions and greater scalability than competitors can offer at the moment.

Yes, it really is. By the way, so far the news on International 2021 is not good, they cancelled it again and it's not clear when it will start again. It's getting annoying, since we are again without this event because of the pandemic, which does not want to retreat. It didn't happen before and we wasted our time. By the way, details about it are written here https://www.getinproleague.com/blog/post/postponed-again-the-international-2021s-date-and-location-are-unknown-va3tqrggh , I was shocked when I found out, as I was already counting on attending it and was even planning on taking tickets. But so far there is no positive news about it.
