Asura World aims to provide in-depth game analyses to guide players through the intricate details of professional gameplay. This will include teaching professional decision-making processes, winning strategies, item-builds, skill-builds, situational advice, and so on. Asura Coins used within the ecosystem flow within it, fueling other parts of the ecosystem where necessary. Asura Coin holders can bet, stake, be rewarded, pay, and earn within the platform.

The Asura World Platform

Introduction

Asura World is a self-sustainable eSports platform, which focuses on the community ecosystem as a whole, this in tune creates an ecosystem that will be self-regulated & self-evolving.

The Asura World platform can be broken down into five major sections:

1. eSports Betting & Tournament Live Stream

2. Professional Guides

3. Community Match making

4. Tournament Hosting

5. Community Center

Fueling Asura World is the ASA Coin, an NEP-5 token which provides a range of functions and utility across the platform.

This will be used as a Coin for payments, bets and stakes, and to incentivize the sharing of quality content, professional guides, forum contributions and more.

Asura World will provide both free-to-use and paid content. The platform will also offer multiple avenues for members to earn tokens, by hosting tournaments and/or contributing content which provides value to the community.

Online eSports betting

As the popularity of eSports continues to increase, so does the market for online betting and wagering. Through recent years, we’ve observed a rapid surge in this market, with reported figures showing a whopping USD $649 million of cash bets being wagered on eSports games in 2016. This “official” figure does not account for betting in unregulated markets, which Eilers & Krejcik Gaming estimate to raise the total to USD $5.5 billion dollars in both cash and digital asset (e.g. skin) wagers.

Eilers & Krejcik Gaming go on to predict that global eSport betting will reach USD $12.9 billion by the year 2020. It is estimated that this turnover will generate over USD $1 billion in revenue for eSports platforms and operators, from the betting and wager market alone.

The Asura World platform looks to assist the transition from traditional eSports betting through cash and skin wagers, into a more fair and ethical market using digital currency. The platform will create a friendly environment for gamers to follow and participate in eSports events, as well as make bets and wagers on their favorite teams and outcomes.

Community Matchmaking

Professional Guides

Like any discipline, there is a large market in the gaming community for coaching and guidance, both for competitive and casual players.

Instead of having ambitious gamers settle for outdated learning methods such as observing professional players on YouTube, Asura World aims to provide in-depth game analysis to walk players through the intricate details of professional gameplay. This will include teaching professional decision-making processes, winning strategies, item-builds, skill-builds, situational advice, and so on.

We understand that behind every successful student, there must be an experienced coach. To provide the finest guidance possible, we will recruit top professional gamers and guide them through the teaching process, so that all shared knowledge can be effectively understood and absorbed by the community.

Professional guides will be available in videos along with commentary and annotated images, as research has demonstrated the clear superiority of the use of motion, sound and visual cues for learning, over plain-text material.

Community Matchmaking

One of the primary reasons that the eSport market is one of the fastest growing markets of the 21st century, is simply that people around the world are competitive by nature.

Everyone has an innate desire for competing, winning, and standing out amongst their peers. Rather than just watching and betting on the professionals, we recognize the demand for regular players and teams to exercise and showcase their own skills.

Asura World’s Community Matchmaking, platform users can take the stage and host their own 1v1 or 5v5 matches. To maintain fairness, both parties will agree on prearranged match terms (game, match conditions and amount staked). Upon completion of the term selection, staked funds will go into the Asura World Escrow where a processing fee is charged. Results are automatically determined by our Smart Contract, and the winnings will be released to the winner.

Much like the betting component of our service, having our open source Smart Contract match players and control the gathering and the release of the stake, we can reduce operations cost and unnecessary audits, and guarantee transparency, authenticity, integrity, and fairness.

Community Tournaments

At Asura World, some of us have experience in both organizing and participating in their own local eSports tournaments, and understand the difficulties behind it. Issues often arise such as team absences and time clashes, and overlooked details can result in significant issues later in the tournament. It’s difficult to run a small tournament smoothly through a LAN, however doing it digitally is different.

Asura World will eliminate the stress and obstacles for small tournament organizers, with an inbuilt community tournament platform. This will offer users the ability to host round-robin and group stages for both 1v1 and 5v5 matches.

Organizers simply log-in to Asura World, click the “Community Matchmaking” button, and select “Community Tournament”. The organizer will then get to choose their tournament style, number of teams participating in the tournament, total prize pool, winning distribution, commencement times, and few other small details, to ensure a smoothlyoperating tournament.

To ensure Asura World Community Tournaments run both quickly and smoothly, organizers are required to pay a small hosting fee in ASA Coins for each tournament. Each tournament will be allocated a maximum runtime of 48 hours.

Asura World Tournaments

Each month, the community will be given the chance to vote for their favorite game. Asura World will host an internal tournament at the end of the month for the game with the most votes, with participating teams paying a small entry fee in ASA Coins. The game style will be decided by Asura World. These Asura World Tournaments will be free to view, and streamed live on both Twitch.tv and the official Asura World website, for everyone to enjoy. The Prizepool is month’s accumulation of ASA Coins from the Betting commission
