This week, all we care to talk about is Esports- the E in GEMS! Esports are multiplayer video games that are played competitively for spectators. Usually, professional gamers are the ones to compete in these events/ competitions. Over the years, Esports has changed, bringing us all the way to the present days of the Metaverse. And now, ultimately, GEMS is bringing about Esports 3.0 and we are going to explain exactly why in this article. But in order to do so, we need to first have a look at the past…
⟲ ’90s and Early 2000's Throwback!
Esports 1.0 was between the years 1990–1999. This was when video game competitions were first brought to the Esports level. 90s kids may even remember these competitions being broadcasted on the same channels as traditional sports. These were the fetus days of Esports, which was then followed by…
Esports 2.0. This was between 2000–2010. A bit more recognizable to various parts of the globe, Esports expanded with the birth of streaming platforms. This was the time of real-time strategy games, major gains in viewership, prize money (and partnerships), dedicated tournaments, and professional leagues. Some huge expansion went on here.
🤖 Welcome to the New Age…
This brings us to Esports 3.0. This period is from 2011- The Metaverse. Blockchain and play-to-earn games have gained a massive following and are blowing up the internet during this period. Now, GEMS plans to bring blockchain gaming to the Esports level! This will be done through lower entry effort and larger rewards (i.e. renting NFTs), as well as increasing offline touchpoints in the ASEAN region through hotels, GameFi tournaments, and events.
With the support of Arena Esports Hotel, a global leader franchise for Esports hotels, hostels & serviced residences, GEMS is taking Esports hotels from Online to Offline. They are our resident Esports experts and will aid in implementing our O2O ecosystem. GEMS is Online to Offline. Offline refers to our offline hotel touchpoints, online refers to our GEMS online ecosystem. With our unique advantage of having an Esports offline touchpoints expansion plan, focusing in Southeast Asia, GEMS leverages its online and offline presences and creates new portals for Esports and blockchain/crypto lovers to immerse themselves in the Esports/GameFi metaverse. This is the ultimate collab!
Its clear times are changing, which is why GEMS maintains its down-for-whatever attitude and innovative mindset. After all, that’s what it takes to be the pioneers and leaders of Esports 3.0!
