This new project is great for the future of NFT gaming. Professional sports leagues carry a lot of influence and millions of dollars to pump into advertisement, merchandise, video games and so on. The fact that the MLS recognizes the Splinterlands team as the "worldwide leading blockchain gaming developer" will give the team a lot of "cred" in the industry, and if they can put forward a good product for the MLS, this will help motivate future projects.

This new game is also a huge opportunity for Splinterlands players. How much do you wish you had been here to buy Alpha cards back when they were cheap? Well, you are here now, so why not pick up some Alpha GLS assets instead? They might be worth a bit more in 5 years...
