(hereinafter referred to as "ROGREE") will release " Adictor," Japan's first e-sports tournament platform with prize money for all tournaments, on October 15, 2020 (Thursday).
The main feature of Adictor is the provision of prize money for all tournaments.
The platform also offers one-stop support for tournament management, including functions for recruiting participants, automatic tournament generation, and a chat function that leaves no logs after the tournament is over.
Features of Adictor
Adictor has three major features, all of which are designed with e-sports in mind first and foremost.
Let's take a closer look at the three features.
Japan's first platform to offer prize money for "all tournaments" held in Japan
The most important feature of Adictor is that it guarantees prize money for all tournaments in order to further revitalize the many community tournaments held by volunteers.
In order to support the activities of future professional e-sports players, the organizers and winners of the competitions will each receive prize money from the management office.
The prize money will be issued in the form of AdictorCoin, a company currency exclusive to the service, which players can exchange for iTunes gift cards, Google Play gift cards, Amazon gift certificates, etc. at any time.
Level and ranking system in Adictor
Many game titles with a versus function have a " rank " system in order to match players of the same level and compete fairly with them.
However, many players who participate in both official and unofficial tournaments are often ranked at the highest level in the game.
Adictor has introduced a common rating system for these core users to further increase the excitement at the highest levels of the game.
XP " experience is issued for each of the top scores in competitions, and levels and titles are assigned at certain thresholds.
This status will be published to all users in the form of a ranking, and is expected to serve as a catalyst for active participation in tournaments.
Specializing in solo competitions
Currently, most e-sports tournaments are team competitions.
In the " shooter " genre, which Adictor is handling this time, team competitions have been very popular in existing large-scale tournaments.
One of the reasons for this is the real thrill of teamwork with teammates and the depth of strategy.
Even in one-on-one games such as fighting games and digital card games, most of the active professional players belong to professional teams, where they deepen exchanges with teammates and other professionals, and further improve their skills by studying and practicing with each other.
On the other hand, Logley believes that some players who are not good at socializing or belonging to a community, or who play the game at their own pace, can still have very high skill levels hidden among them.
In order to spotlight such future stars who are still hiding in the shadows, Adictor has decided to eliminate all of the player interaction and community features that many platforms have in place, and focus instead on the pure enjoyment of the competition.
More functions will be added in the future.
At the time of Adictor's initial release, the management office will provide prize money, but in the future, a sponsor function will be developed that will allow users to support tournaments and players by setting support conditions and returns.
In the future, a sponsor function will be developed, which will allow users to set support conditions and returns to support competitions and athletes.
Two years after the "first year of e-sports," will Adictor be able to breathe new life into the Japanese e-sports market?
Through Adictor, LogREE aims to produce many top professionals from Japan to the world and improve the Japanese e-sports brand.
