The WePlay Collectibles non-fungible tokens hit the OpenSea marketplace.

The first NFT collection from WePlay Collectibles on the OpenSea NFT marketplace, “Shooter: from A to Z,” will drop in November. 50% of the collection’s token sales and the additional NFT Trophy token will go as Runner-up Award to the team that will take second place in the WePlay Academy League Season 2.

OpenSea is the world’s first and one of the largest digital marketplaces where people buy and sell exclusive crypto assets. It is in this NFT marketplace that WePlay Collectibles will release the first tokens — A and B — from the alphabet NFT collection “Shooter: from A to Z” on November 1. Between November 1 and 13, WePlay Collectibles will auction two more tokens daily on the platform.

“Shooter: from A to Z” will include 26 unique tokens, one for each letter of the alphabet. The things that are near and dear to shooter fans have been minted to become one-of-a-kind NFT items — the collection consists of notable words and phrases associated with popular first-person shooter games. Fans may try to get them all or choose a special one they like the most. All released tokens of the collection can be found on the official WePlay Collectibles website.

Participation in the auction is a chance to snatch a unique digital item and support esports in general. WePlay Collectibles endorses budding esports teams, so half of the total token sales of the “Shooter: from A to Z” collection and additional NFT Trophy token will go towards cheering up the team that lost in the finals as the Runner-up Award within the WePlay Academy League Season 2.

The WePlay Academy League is a training ground for academies of the world’s leading CS:GO organizations. The league provides up-and-coming players a real tournament setting to help the participants grow and hopefully find themselves on the main roster of the team one day.

The Runner-up Award was created to reflect the main vision of the WePlay Academy League project. There’s no rise without a fall on the professional esports scene. The WePlay Academy League youngsters should get through this, and WePlay Collectibles will help to cushion the first fall.

Once a token is released, collectors will have 24 hours to place their bids, so stay tuned for upcoming news.

“When creating our collection, we focused on designing an entertaining collection based on memes from the heart of the esports community and helping novice fans get to know esports better. Besides, we’re certain that “Shooter: from A to Z” fits the WePlay Academy League philosophy.

The goal of the WePlay Academy League is to nurture and train up-and-coming CS:GO players, while the collection intends to teach or remind the audience about the unusual and amusing terminology of this discipline. Buyers purchase tokens and boost the development of the WePlay Academy League project and novice teams.

Plus, the very idea of ​​the Runner-up Award matches the WePlay Academy League approach. A never-give-up attitude is the main message that we are sending via this collection because it’s also a challenge for us,” says Alena Dalskaya-Latosiewicz, chief communications officer at WePlay Holding and project lead at WePlay Collectibles.

1 November 2024 – Esports has experienced explosive growth in Q3 2024, doubling turnover compared to the previous quarter. The average bet on cybersports increased by 17.6% quarter-on-quarter. SOFTSWISS, a global tech expert with over 15 years of experience providing innovative iGaming solutions, shares the SOFTSWISS Sportsbook Q3 2024 report.

The top five sports by Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) remain consistent: Football, Tennis, Basketball, Table Tennis, and eFootball. For the second consecutive quarter, eFootball has outperformed Counter-Strike 2, indicating a shifting interest within the esports sector. Nevertheless, football continues to dominate, contributing nearly half of the total GGR.

The average live bet grew by 10% quarter-on-quarter, a positive development for operators as live bets hold 78.6% of turnover. The SOFTSWISS Sportsbook team is actively enhancing the live betting experience, aiming to capitalise on this trend and provide operators with even greater revenue opportunities.

The average bet grew by 9.7% quarter-on-quarter in Q3 2024, and the number of bets increased by 18.7%. GGR saw a modest growth of 1.5% quarter-on-quarter.

Despite the large number of projects launched for the UEFA Euro 2024, month-on-month statistics show that with the right promotional strategies, projects continue to operate successfully even after such massive events. 

 

Alexander Kamenetskyi, Head of SOFTSWISS Sportsbook, adds: “Aligning a launch with a major sporting event can be a successful strategy, but football is not the only sport that can be leveraged in this way. The growth of cybersports presents new opportunities; for specialised projects targeting specific audiences, esports events can also serve as an effective starting point. 

We continuously focus on product growth and development, enhancing features and user experience to drive further engagement and profitability for our partners.”
