Esports One's signature Fantasy platform, exclusive to Metarenas

Like fantasy football, soccer, basketball, and baseball, fantasy esports is a stats-based game that makes watching esports more exciting and engaging. As a team manager, you will create a lineup of real-life professional esports players; when your selected players compete in their matches, your fantasy lineup will score points based on each player's performance. The first available esports title will be the globally popular game, League of Legends, where two teams of five real-life professional players compete to be the first team to destroy the opposing team's nexus or home base.
The beauty of fantasy esports is the ease of onboarding new game titles since all that's needed is access to the developers' third-party API and slight adjustments to the ruleset and scoring. This means we can add popular esports titles and exciting new blockchain games, as approved by OneDAO.
Staking will grant access to more arenas and fantasy contests across the esports metaverse. Staked Managers are rewarded with $ARNA & $xARNA, in addition to rare cards based on contest performance, and passively rewarded with $BYTE.
Unstaked will still grant access to a select range of contests, with rewards distributed in $BYTE.
The first step is going through the onboarding experience; this will be where fantasy managers will learn the basics of playing esports fantasy on the metaverse and receive their first collection of cards. We will initially launch with support for League of Legends, with more game titles to come soon.
Fantasy lineups are created by selecting the Player Cards you want to use in each contest. This means that the better the cards you collect, the better your lineup will potentially score. Common and uncommon cards can be earned through engaging on the platform or in packs paid for using $BYTE. Rare and higher cards can be bought, traded, and sold on the marketplace using $ARNA.
Playing fantasy starts by choosing an arena with a contest you want to join. Provided you meet the entry criteria, you will be able to enter! Metarenas can host competitions across global regions and tournaments, with various scoring types and varying rules - this ensures contests are always fresh and exciting!
Once you have entered a contest, you will need to build a lineup based on the requirements specified in that Arena's contest rules. The traditional League of Legends fantasy lineup consists of one player from each role; Top lane, jungler, mid lane, bot lane, and support. The idea is to pick the player cards based on the pro-players you think will perform the best that day/week.
After you've submitted your lineup and all corresponding pro-players have finished their matches, your team will receive the points the assigned pro-player earned based on their real-life performance. The higher your team score, the greater your chance of earning rewards.
To create a system that reasonably drives competition and rewards, specific contests will restrict the player card rarities that can be used. For example, a user that has only collected common and uncommon cards can choose to compete against only users with similar cards. However, the managers who want to earn more significant amounts of $ARNA and rare player cards will have to enter the higher rarity or open contests!
Arenas are only half of the esports fantasy experience. The other half belongs to you, the managers. Our fantasy experience puts the power to succeed in your hands. Building the best lineup of player cards not only gives glory but also rewards you in $ARNA tokens!
Player cards are the foundation for creating your fantasy lineup and entering contests. Each player card is assigned to a real esports professional; when that player competes in actual matches, your fantasy player card scores points. As a manager, it's important to keep collecting, trading, and selling player cards so you can build the best possible lineups - just like a professional team!
Common and uncommon cards are obtained by purchasing packs using tokens, either earned passively or won from contests. Staked managers can earn rare player cards by winning contests. All managers can purchase higher rarity cards from 3rd party exchanges, auctions, and our marketplace.
Cards will have different rarities based on quality, value, and bonuses. The higher the rarity, the better the percentage bonus it provides. A rare player card will consistently score more than the lower rarity version. It's in the managers' best interest to collect the higher rarities as it will increase the likeliness of winning contests and earning $ARNA.
Each season and card will have unique metadata that determines everything from characteristics to rarity.
