There are very few projects in cryptosphere that has managed to make mainstream partnerships. This fact is doubly true in the case of blockchain games. On the account of being the #1 DAPP in the entire world (at the time), @splinterlands managed to get a partnership with Major League Soccer Players Association (MLSPA). It is nowhere as big as FIFA. That is taken by EA and they might even add some cash grab Web 3 features that are not very useful or decentralized. What we have at hand is a good start and there could be more projects joining Genesis League Sports.
Genesis League Goals Training Grounds
If you have not taken a look at the game in some time, there are some changes in the UI. Notice the "Club" section of the game. That is what is going to be important for today's tutorial. If you have created any Teams, they should appear here. Scroll below and the following section will appear.
This is where the new gameplay features are going to be at. Training grounds launched more than 2 months ago. Many investors (including myself) did not pay enough attention to the announcement. There are bigger projects that are live at the moment with better earning potential. What we have with Genesis League Goals is what could be the next @splinterlands, developed by the creators behind @splinterlands.
79.4% Discount When Using GLUSD
Those who are familiar with @splinterlands will have an easier time understanding the concepts and elements at play within Genesis League Sports and Arcade Colony. GLUSD we have being traded on HIVE-Engine is analogous to Dark Energy Crystals.
I was getting some of the best deals in cryptosphere during the time DEC was below the soft peg of $0.001 and GLUSD could bring the same advantages in the future. An influx of players can create drastic change in these blockchain games. We have witnessed this first hand during the previous bull market.
Purchasing Training Slots
This step is very straightforward and most players and investors will have an easy time. Those who are new to using cryptocurrency will have to learn about bridging assets. Install Keychain to make your life easier and enjoy the feeless transactions on HIVE. The worst that could happen to you having to wait a little longer to have your Resource Credits recharged.
GLGT is similar to VOUCHERs and they can be acquired by staking GLX (which is extremely cheap at the moment). Please not that despite the similarities and shared team members of the projects, GLX has far higher risk than SPS.
Delegate GLX (5,000 Per Slot)
I could easily sell some $HIVE and get myself to 6 Training Slots. I am taking things slow as I am greatly dried of investment capital due to the bear market. Do not make my mistake of HODLing too much for too long. Learn to take some profits and get your stablecoins ready to buy while the blood is on the streets.
Experiments in Filling The Slots
Genesis League Goals and Moon Karts have a serious lack of tutorials. I had to figure out these things either through trial and error or through digging through various parts of the internet. The problem I faced was only being able to add one Card to the Training Grounds.
Cards Cannot Be in Teams or Market
Cards on the Market being unavailable is obvious. I did not see any hint about checking the Teams and editing theme as necessary. These are things that affect the new players. Partnerships or improved game design can only pull so much weight without a clear communication and education of the users.
All Teams need a Coach and a mix of other positions. Since I am not a soccer fan, I ended up learning more about soccer from the game. I suspect there will be more individuals like me who come to explore blockchain gaming and learn about the sport through their gameplay efforts.
The Team creation UI is not the simplest UI; but can be managed with a few trial and errors for a gamer and finally click on "CONFIRM" to finish the job. After that, there will be enough Cards for Training Grounds where you will earn GLX.
Selections for Training
Add your best Cards to earn the highest amount of Rewards. The price of a Slot or the GLX delegation needed does not change. This setup should remind players of Praetoria Land and Rebellion Conflicts. Genesis League Goals is replicating many systems that worked out for @splinterlands during better times.
History Does Not Repeat
It would be unwise to expect the same frenzy we witnessed few years ago that broke the peg of DEC to upside and made established professionals earn more from the game than their careers. I was making over $200 in a day and I do rely on the same thing happening again. At the same time, I consider it unwise to bet on the opposite. Cryptosphere can give rise to many miracles. Be cautiously optimistic!
