These NFTs will become part of the WePlay Esports ecosystem. WePlay Collectibles will consist of digital memorabilia that represent specific tournaments.
The Storyline collection will offer three kinds of tokens:
Logo token: a static or animated logo of the tournament.
Trophy token: Image of the keepsake in a static or animated format.
Story token: Depicting the most ‘memorable parts of our unique stories’, collected over the years that WePlay has organised tournaments.
The Logo and Trophy tokens within the collection will come in Common, Rare, and Ultimate versions.
Yura Lazebnikov, Managing Partner of WePlay Esports commented on the announcement: “We recognize NFTs as a cutting-edge way to bring the esports community together while providing a new level of interaction that is unique and valuable. We believe esports is booming not just because it’s entertaining and spectacular in and of itself, but also because it resonates with the digital trends.
“WePlay Collectibles are a fun way for fans to connect with their favorite players and obtain one-of-a-kind esports memorabilia to capture and immortalize our tournaments.”
