Monster League Studios, creators of Mokens League, the game platform for winning and earning, announced the launch of its “play to win,” NFT-based gaming platform. Bridging eSports and NFTs, Mokens League games, which include soccer, tennis, basketball, hockey, and beach volleyball, work in a sustainable “play to win” environment that puts the focus back on gameplay, quality, skill and fun. This opposes the trend of a purely time-based reward system in most P2E games.

Players at all levels of competition, from novice to expert, will be able to earn the Mokens League in-game currency by playing and winning games, leagues, and tournaments. In-game currency can be used to purchase NFTs that can then be used on your team, traded, lent, or sold in the Mokens League marketplace, the in-game currency also has several use cases for upgrading NFTs, purchasing consumable items and in a not so distant future, customizing the Mokens League metaverse. The Mokens League NFTs are randomly generated, unique, and can be upgraded to perform better in the game which would increase their market value.

Mokens League was founded by Martin Repetto and Maximo Radice, gaming industry pioneers who have decades of experience in building gaming startups that have entertained millions, all while building user-generated content and real-time transactional business models from the ground up. Among those startups was foundational crypto gaming company Voxelus and Atmosphir, a game creation tool.

“While we are thrilled and excited about the massive growth of crypto-based gaming, we can’t help but notice that there is a fundamental problem right now. The problem is in the current state of ‘play to earn’, people getting rewarded for just spending time on a game does not work. This is not fun or challenging and definitely not sustainable,” commented Martin Repetto, CEO of Monsters League Studios LLC. “NFTs and tokens can be enticing for players to play our games, but as always, what will retain gamers is fantastic gameplay and eSports mechanics. The longest played games in the world right now are competitive eSports. That’s why our main priority right now is to make a game that is fun to play, easy to get going but hard to master. Like chess or Poker, there will be different levels where people can compete without getting overrun by pros or hardcore players. These games should also be as fun to play as they are to watch because the streaming community is the number one driver of game adoption at the moment”

Mokens League will be conducting private and public sales of its token, $MOKA, in the coming months. Mokens League will also be launching its in-game NFTs through its marketplace.

Thunderpick, the leading esports betting platform delivering fans cutting-edge tools and experiences, announced that FURIA has emerged victorious at the Thunderpick World Championship 2025 — one of the tournament’s most competitive editions yet, featuring four of the world’s top 10 ranked teams. FURIA takes home the $500,000 first-place prize, with KSCERATO earning his first Grand Final MVP.

FURIA’s steady performance and relentless focus were on full display throughout the tournament, culminating in a Finals victory over Natus Vincere. After NAVI went up two maps to zero, FURIA did what many thought was impossible and completed a dominant reverse sweep with a 13:1 on the decisive map.

Natus Vincere finished second place, earning $150,000. The MongolZ, who won the Thunderpick World Championship last year, finished third after defeating Aurora earlier in the day, receiving $70,000 and $50,000, respectively. Venom, 9z, Imperial and OG all placed fifth through eighth, taking home $20,000 each.

“It is a privilege to congratulate FURIA as the Thunderpick World Champions! This tournament was thrilling, featuring exceptional gameplay. The success of our World Championship is thanks to the incredible teams, streamers, partners, staff, and everyone behind the scenes who made it possible, as well as the passionate fans who make this event so special,” said Kelly Sanders, Head of Strategy at Thunderpick.

This year marks the third consecutive Thunderpick World Championship. Last year, The MongolZ stunned HEROIC to claim their third international title of the season, cementing their status on the global CS2 stage. In 2023, FaZe Clan took the crown after defeating Virtus.pro, with Robin “ropz” Kool earning the MVP title. The TWC 2025 Finals are presented in collaboration with Hotspawn, a leading hub for esports news and analysis.
