Dota 2, Rocket League pros ‘want to explore’ Web3 and blockchain gaming

While game developers seem to

Walter Lee, partner growth and GameFi leader at BNB Chain — which started to penetrate the competitive gaming landscape through a partnership with Gaimin Gladiators, said that Web3 and blockchain technology has the capacity to empower traditional gaming ecosystems.

From the tokenization of in-game assets to other use cases such as an on-chain verifiable random number generation (RNG) mechanism, Lee believes that “the potential is huge.” In addition, the executive also believes that because of the speed of the growth of “Web3 gaming,” it will one day just simply be called “gaming.”

The executive also highlighted that Web3 offers many opportunities for professional gamers as well. He explained:

“There is a surge of many interesting upcoming games from various new studios, some of these titles may potentially gain massive popularity and generate new exciting eSports leagues for the industry.”

Lee believes that gamers can also build their brand and revenue streams in Web3. “Players will be able to sustain and build in the industry with lesser reliance on an eSports firm, this balances the demand between eSports firms and players,” Lee added.
