DeFi Legends Gaming Tournament
Group stages
The tournament will begin with group stages with the 8 teams divided into two groups – A + B.
The groups are arranged as follows.
- The games will take place over eight weeks, with the group stages taking up the first six weeks.
- Every team will play every other team in their group twice, with winners awarded two points and losers one point. Failure to attend the game results in zero points.
- When the group stage is complete, the top two teams in each group will be chosen to play in the semi-finals.
Semi-finals and finals
- Teams in the semi-finals will play a best-of-three series. The winners will progress to the final while the losers will be left to fight for third place.
- Again, the final and third-place play-off will be best-of-three.
The prize pools
At the start of the tournament, all participating teams will contribute $5000 in their own project’s tokens, creating a total prize pool of $40,000. The prize pool will be held in the DeversiFi Labs MultiSig wallet.
The team that comes in first place will be awarded 30% of the prize pool, second place will be awarded 15% of the prize pool, and third place will be awarded 5% of the prize pool.
The remaining 50% will be distributed in raffles to community members that get involved from the sidelines by watching and voting on the teams that they believe will win, as explained below.
Taking part in the tournament
Whether you are an Esports fanatic and love playing LoL, or just want to support your team from the sidelines, we have made it exciting for all communities to get involved!
There are 3 key ways you can be involved:
Join a team – Play LoL, represent your project, and take part in the tournament. But how can you sign up to join a team?
- First, make sure you join the DeversiFi discord.
- You will then have access to the “DeFi Legends” Discord channel where you will be able to speak to the team captains of all the projects involved and voice your interest in participating for their team.
- You can express interest in joining a team by filling out this form.
- Team captains will be hosting internal trials in order to pick team members and will message you if you are successful.
- Teams will be made up of five players and up to five substitutes.
Watch the tournament
The games will be hosted on DeversiFis Twitch channel. which you can watch here. The main conversation of the tournament will be taking place within our discord channels, so this is THE place you will want to be.
Vote and win prizes
A portion of the prize pool will be allocated to community members who are actively watching from the sidelines. So what do you need to do to be in with a chance of winning?
- At the start of every game, all viewers will be given the chance to vote on who they think will be victorious in the DeversiFi Discord. The viewers that guess correctly will be automatically entered into a raffle to win a portion of the prize pool, which will be distributed at the end of every week within the DeversiFi app.
- We understand that people may try to game the system by deploying hundreds of bots to vote, and so we will incorporate collab.land to ensure only real community members are eligible for the raffles.
- In order to vote for your team, you will need to hold $50 in your team’s equivalent tokens in your wallet and connect this to your Discord account.
- You can do this by typing “ !join ” in the “connect wallet” channel within the discord. Follow the instructions on the screen and you will automatically be assigned roles depending on which particular coins you are holding in your wallet.
- For example, user A is holding 100 DVF & SUSHI tokens within their Metamask wallet. After typing ” !join ” in the connect wallet channel and following the instructions, they will be given the roles:
- DVF HODLer
- SUSHI HODLer
- Winners from each game will be picked at random by the DeversiFi team. If picked as a winner, you will be notified via Discord and will be able to claim your tokens from within the DeversiFi app, completely gas-free!
Don’t worry, if you are unsure how to connect your wallet to DeversiFi’s Discord, we will shortly publish a walkthrough video here.

- At the time of creation, all partaking projects will be contributing the equivalent amount of $5,000 of their token. All prizes and rewards will be distributed as a fixed % of the total number of tokens contributed and not the dollar equivalent.
- For example, Team X donates 10,000 of their token. Prizes that will be distributed for raffle winners will be a fixed amount of tokens (e.g. 100 tokens per person) irrespective of the $ value equivalent of the token.
