Blockchain NFT RPG game Crypto Raiders has announced its upcoming esports tournament, marking the first $1 million tournament in crypto gaming’s short history.
Crypto Raiders is a utility-based NFT MMORPG game built on the Polygon network, in which players use NFT characters to loot dungeons, defeat bosses, and earn tokens.
Each of the 750 different Raiders have various traits and abilities, with the more expensive characters being those with more attributes and characteristics that affect their ability.
Since release in the summer of 2021, Crypto Raiders has enjoyed decent growth in the blockchain gaming community, and they’re looking to celebrate by putting on the first-ever seven-figure tournament in a crypto game. Here’s the details.
