On July 26, 2018, DeStream, the first blockchain ecosystem for streamers, and Elements Pro Gaming, one of the largest Russian cybersports organizations have announced a partnership agreement.

Elements Pro Gaming is a multi-league organization, which includes professional teams on Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, DOTA2 and League of Legends. Since 2015, many well-known players have performed under the EPG banners, for many of which the organization became the first professional team in their lives. For example, for the current captain of the Dota2-team Nikolay “LeBronDota” Popovich, who recently returned to the EPG after completing cooperation with Natus Vincere.

DeStream is the first decentralized global ecosystem for streamers, which seeks to build a multi-functional financial platform using decentralization and blockchain technologies. As its basis, the project has selected the fork of the Stratis blockchain platform, modified specifically for DeStream’s purposes. One of the goals of the project is to significantly reduce commissions on transactions in the field of streaming (up to 0.77% per transaction). An important bonus of the platform is the integration into its functionality of a trading platform equipped with devices for gamers, as well as digital and non-digital goods that can be purchased without removing tokens from the system.

“We are pleased to find Elements Pro Gaming as a promising and reliable partner. DeStream is ready to support EPG in each of their disciplines. We will be happy to involve EPG team players to participate in joint events (now we are considering a trip to Korea, the motherland of e-sports), as well as show-matches and other joint media activities. This cooperation will help the development of both projects” says Anar Mekhtiev, co-founder and CEO of the DeStream project.

“I am sure that our cooperation has great potential, because our projects are similar in their dynamics, aspiration to new technologies and, of course, a common passion for e-sports! We are especially glad to have partners who understand our market well and create new tools for its development,” said Dmitry Belyaev, CEO of Elements Pro Gaming.

The DeStream project, whose mission is to improve financial relationships in the online content streaming industry, is launching its ICO to attract funding for the creation of its own multifunctional platform. With the help of smart contracts and Big Data analysis, the DeStream platform will allow advertisers to gain convenient access to streamer services, provide viewers with the opportunity to request more varied entertainment options, and streamers to receive revenue with minimal commissions for transactions.
