NEW YORK, Nov. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Community Gaming, the all-in-one global earnings platform and tournament organizer, announced a partnership with game studio Sky Mavis and Okcoin, one of the world's fastest-growing cryptocurrency platforms, to produce the Axie Infinity Fall Showcase. On November 5-7, North American players will compete for a prize pool of 250 AXS (~$30,000 USD).

"Axie Infinity has cemented its place as play-to-earn forerunner, and as Community Gaming continues its evolution into both tournament organizer and earnings platform, we expect to collaborate further with Sky Mavis."

All weekend matches of the Axie Infinity Fall Showcase will be streamed live on Community Gaming's Twitch channel.The Top 8 portion of the tournament will be featured on Twitch's front page. This is the first time a blockchain game has received front page placement on the streaming giant's site.

"The Okcoin community has expressed tremendous excitement about Axie Infinity, and we're thrilled to sponsor the Fall Showcase hosted by Community Gaming," said Alex Chizhik, Head of Listings at Okcoin. "The metaverse is here and we are excited to continue bringing exciting, innovative, and first-to-list projects to our customers."

To celebrate a new milestone in blockchain gaming, Okcoin and Community Gaming will give away 1 AXS every 30 minutes during the tournament's stream. Additionally, Okcoin will offer $30 for users who trade in $10 in any coin within the event time frame*. This promotion underscores Okcoin's commitment to bolstering adoption of play-to-earn networks, having also been the first US-licensed exchange to list both AXS and Axie Infinity's Smooth Love Potion (SLP) token.

"We've been impressed with Community Gaming's connective platform and its embrace of Axie Infinity,"said Jeffrey Zirlin, Co-Founder of Sky Mavis. "As NFT gaming rapidly ascends into the mainstream gaming consciousness, we're excited to continue exploring and expanding its esports footprint with innovative partners like Community Gaming."
