Blockchain game companies are working into esports
Blockchain gaming is getting more interested in the world of esports.
Recently, BUFF, a cryptocurrency-based loyalty program for gamers, announced that it will be sponsoring the esports team, Digital Devils in the upcoming Mobile Legends competition taking place in Jakarta, Indonesia.
The event, which takes place from July 27th to 29th consists of 10 teams competing over three days for the MSC ML Southeast Asia Cup, and a cash prize of $100,000.
Originating from the Philippines and established in 2003, the Digital Devils have grown from being an esports team, to become a major development and media franchise in its own right, including digital marketing, esports coaching, and streamers.
