G2 Esports launches NFT ‘social club’ Samurai Army

 

The popular League of Legends and Counter-Strike team will release profile picture NFTs on Solana in February.

Like many brands and celebrities, esports teams are beginning to show interest in NFT collectibles as a fan engagement tool. Following Team Vitality’s recent partnership with Tezos, which includes NFT plans, G2 Esports has now joined the fray by launching NFTs on Solana.

G2’s Samurai Army NFTs will be minted using Solana’s Metaplex protocol, and are inspired by the popular esports club’s samurai-themed logo. Each of the 6,262 total NFTs—which drop in February—features a randomly-generated profile picture, but they also provide perks to holders.

The Samurai Army NFTs are also billed as a pass into G2 Esports’ exclusive membership initiative, with access to a social club with other users, interactions with G2’s professional esports players, early access to future G2 NFT drops, and more. Additional potential benefits include chances to compete against esports pros and trips to future competitions.

Carlos Rodriguez, CEO of G2 Esports, commented: “We built this project for those that believe in G2 and our commitment to engage with our fans physically and digitally for decades to come, rather than those looking to make a quick buck.”

Samurai Army is expected to hold numerous rewards for members, such as paid trips to major events, signed jerseys and equipment, as well as access to special events for members. Holders of the Samurai Army NFT’s will also get early access to future G2 NFT’s that aim to celebrate the organisation’s achievements, expansions, player moments, and more.

This is not the first time G2 Esports has announced an NFT project. The organisation partnered with NFT and cryptocurrency company Bondly in 2021 to create a series of G2-themed NFT’s. This partnership, however, seems to have been cancelled. The original press release was deleted from G2 Esports’ website and no new updates regarding this partnership have been announced.

Although information about the project is lacking, the official website notes that there will be a ‘free airdrop’ taking place in which interested buyers will be able to get a hold of their first G2 Samurai Army NFT sometime in February 2022. Intial details about the partnership were first reported by EsportsNewsUK earlier today.

Ben Sparango, Head of Business Development at Solana Labs, added: “I’m thrilled to have G2 building in the Solana ecosystem. G2’s mission with the Samurai Army, creating more meaningful experiences through the use of digital assets, is the embodiment of our ecosystem ethos and a huge step forward for decentralized communities. G2 has chosen Solana as the viable solution for their long-term company and community ambitions in this space, and I can’t wait for everyone to experience what they’ve built.”

Esports Insider says: G2 Esports is known for bold ideas and this is perhaps one of the bolder ones we’ve seen. The organisation aims to create a club for NFT owners that will offer unique perks and also new drops. It’s all very secretive as of yet so we’ll have to wait until February to find out what the new Samurai Army project actually has to show.

Apex Legends goes directly to jail for a 2-week Unshackled event

Image
Flashpoints are back. The Apex Legends   gang has been a naughty bunch. But being a bunch of professional murderers, they’ve broken free for the game’s carceral-themed Unshackled event, kicking off next Tuesday with new looks and a returning LTM. First debuted back in season 6, Flashpoint is a limited mode that sees health and shield items removed from the map (Olympus this time) in place of, well, Flashpoints—small regions that provide constant healing to anyone inside. While you can craft Phoenix Kits for a fee, any and all healing will require locking down one of these zones, so expect to put up a fight to bandage up those skinned knees. The other half of this event, meanwhile, dolls several legends up in prison-themed getups. It’s not a theme I’m particularly huge on, though there are still some gems—Crypto’s new banner having him pull up in a car with a chirpy wee drone is certainly a highlight, as is Valk’s extremely good pastel undercut. Like previous smaller events, these c...

Sydney Sweeney , of “ Euphoria ” and “White Lotus” fame, has joined “Madame Web,” a comic book tentpole set in Sony’s Universe of Marvel Characters. Sweeney’s role has not been announced. As previously reported, Dakota Johnson has been cast as the title character. In the comics, Madame Web is a paralyzed, elderly woman with myasthenia gravis, a chronic autoimmune disorder requiring her to connect to a life support system resembling a spider web. S.J. Clarkson, known for her work on the darker Marvel series “Jessica Jones” and “The Defenders,” which moved from Netflix to Disney Plus, has been hired to direct “Madame Web.” Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless, the duo behind Jared Leto’s upcoming vampire chiller “Morbius,” will write the screenplay. Plot details have been kept under wraps. In the comics, Madame Web is introduced as a blind clairvoyant mutant whose abilities prove to be greatly beneficial to Spider-Man and his fellow arachnid allies, like Spider-Woman. Given her condition, tho...
