Genesis League Soccer in the Sooniverse
Sports lovers on Hive and within the Splinterlands game ecosystem are positioned for a big revolution as @Splinterlands lead partners with Major League Soccer Players Association (MLSPA) to develop an epic Genesis League Soccer (GSL).
Genesis League Sports would be a Play-to-earn blockchain soccer-based gaming platform, which will augment a new paradigm for sports fans, blockchain enthusiasts, and gamers around the world. The collaboration of Splinterlands and MLSPA would help to to incorporate MLSPA players into a new Web 3.0 opportunity. The MLSPA and Splinterlands teams will work together to create a gaming platform that allows MLSPA players to connect with their fans in new ways across both desktop and mobile devices.
This collaboration is announced today via the MLSPA blog and Splinterlands blog. This is a super amazing development for Hive blockchain. This is because Splinterlands being a lead Play-to-earn community on Hive would attract value to Hive blockchain. I have always advocated that soccer is one sports that can change the narrative about Hive if enrolled and we hope this would be a major entrance.
Aggroed, speaking for Splinterlands in this juicy collaboration already mentions Play2earn game, DeFi, NFTs among us the possible outcomes of their collaboration with MLSPA.
Dr. Jesse “Aggroed” Reich, Splinterlands Co-Founder and CEO said, “This is an incredible innovation in the sports industry, and MLSPA is one of its biggest players. Web 3.0 offers new standards and development possibilities set by its community members, and these form a new pathway to massive opportunity for all involved: for those within the industry as well as for fans and sports enthusiasts. We're thrilled to be partnering with them in this groundbreaking model, and I look forward to these exciting ways of connecting sports, gaming, crypto, NFTs, DeFi, and blockchain technology.”
This development is opening doors for more collaborations within Hive for other communities that are prepared. I can say that communities like @Leofinance and @Sportstalksocial among others can benefit hugely if we'll positioned. I hope @Patrickulrich sees this and works out some strategies that would make Sportstalk an appealing social frontend for MSLPA as GSL kick-starts in the sooniverse.
Truth be told that Hive cannot be ignored for long. All that lies with us is to improve our technology and infrastructure for sustainable scalability, security and stability. It's time for communities to unify resources to build products that lasts, then, more of similar partnerships as this would come.
Thanks to the Splinterlands teams for all the efforts they've put into the game so far.
