Just 25 days, 06 hours, and 07 minutes since we listed our Intergalactic Gaming (IGG) tokens onto Tronscan. As IGG is the first esports token on the Tron network, we thought it would rude not to provide some competitive spirit around the Tron community before our alpha release.

We are incredibly grateful of how the community has reacted to the construction of this IG rocket ship so far. Over the last three years we have worked effortlessly to ensure the foundations were laid to enable IG to scale up effectively. So why should we keep you waiting until Q1 2019 to compete in an IG Tournament, when in fact the team can conjure something up by the end of next month?

As you may of heard, we intend to launch our pre-beta platform next month, which will facilitate IG Exclusive Esports Competitions. The launch of our first esports competition will allow an exclusive number of users to participate in our IG esports ecosystem, while having a chance of winning some tasty prizes in the mean time! Following from this we will host several other competitions, supporting a variety of other popular games.

This will mark an important milestone for us as it will begin to shape the direction we wish to steer the infant esports industry towards. It will demonstrate how some of our use cases will work in action, as we add additional features to the beta platform. It is a pinnacle aspect of our platform that will enable us to immediately cater to gamer’s and teams’ needs of competing. We can then build our full platform off this.

For our first competition we want to support a game that will get the most participation from our early adopters. Would be silly to choose Hearthstone if no Galactican played it.

We ran a vote on Twitter and the results were convincing — Fortnite (43%), FIFA (29%), LoL (9%) and Other (19%). We intend to launch our first competitions on popular games within our community, as well as the current state of the individual title’s esport landscape.

Although Fortnite makes sense due to its cross platform capabilities and surging popularity, there is no feature to be enable the hosting of private matches for the public right now. A custom matchmaking key is required, which is not obtainable in public right now. Fear not Galacticans, some of the individuals we’re in discussion with have the ability to provide an opportunity for IG fortnite tournaments in the near future.

As a result, we have decided to support EA Sports’ FIFA title for our first competition. It has longevity, whilst also being accessible and relatable to all. The timing is perfect too as FIFA 19 comes out towards the end of September.

IG want to provide opportunities for everyone. So imagine the opportunity to test your skill against some FIFA pros? Well, we’ve had confirmation that a Champions League football team will have their professional esports players represent them in our tournament.

If that hasn’t motivated you enough to practice, our recent partner Mazer Gaming is looking to field a player in our next tournament. They boast over 50 players competing in a various esports titles, where you’ll have the opportunity to compete against one of them.

IGG will be utilised as the prize pool within the tournaments we facilitate, as well as being distributed based on gamer’s performance. Our first tournament will include a range of prizes, here are just a few:

5,000,000 IGG for the winner

The last 8 will receive a copy of a game title (TBC)

1,000,000 IGG will be distributed across all participants dependant on their overall standing.

They will be additional prizes to be added to the list such as sponsorships, Pro contracts, and more. This will be released over the next few weeks. If you haven’t already, signup to our website: www.iggalaxy.com to register a spot in history.

Recap

We will utilise TRX raised to support the rapid development of our ecosystem, where you’ll see features added to the site next month, however, majority will be left in the Tron Network. Once the TronScan offering is complete on October 3rd 2018, we will release a more detailed distribution plan of TRX raised. We will also release a detailed distribution plan for the frozen 40 billion.

In summary, as a result of the rather positively surprising progress — we can demonstrate how we can truly disrupt the esports ecosystem, with real world use cases — with a working product. IGG is a commodity. There is a finite number of these tokens and they will be the fundamental in disrupting the way individuals and entities interact and exchange value within the esports economy. We will begin to show you how soon. Mass adoption inbound.
