Esports superstars of the popular outset-person-shooter game Counter-Strike will participate in a crypto-powered tournament where fans will be able to bet with crypto tokens.

The tournament is sponsored by Verasity — an attending based platform for video, gaming and entertainment rewards with a native VRA token.

The tournament will feature Nathan Schmitt (NBK) and Asia's best actor Kevin Susanto (Xccurate), who according to the press release, take 2 meg fans worldwide. Verasity has signed a long-term bargain with the players agents. The company is also in the procedure of obtaining a gambling license in Curaçao.

VRA aims to take on the Basic Attention Token

The concept of the VRA token sounds a lot similar the Brave browser's Bones Attending Token (BAT), however, the company CEO RJ Marker Hain told Cointelegraph that VRA has some major advantages over its meliorate-known competitor — it is environment agnostic and 100% of the revenue goes to the content creator.

Hain said, "The publisher has to get on board with using BAT for getting monetization past those rewards. What nosotros do is entirely different. We don't have anything to practise with a browser. If you piece of work for a large publication like Bloomberg, Bloomberg has a video player which is powered by Brightcove. [...] And Bloomberg wants to have a reward, whether it be Crypto or anything else. They take our SDK, it takes them virtually a one-half hr to install it, and and so they command the monetization of all of that, of everything that goes on inside of that video player and ad stack for themselves."

According to Hain, Verasity is trying to capitalize on the COVID-nineteen induced e-gaming smash. Still, in the hereafter, they may expand to other games like chess and even globally popular sports like soccer and basketball.
