Exeedme, a DeFi and NFT powered gaming platform that allows gamers to monetise their passion, will be hosting the first Blockchain CS:GO Live Tournament. 
Following the recent success of their beta testers competition in January, Exeedme have announced that they’ll be rolling out the real thing this Sunday, 28th of February. 

What is the Exeedme CS:Go Tournament?

Eight different Blockchain projects will go head-to-head in a 3-week tournament in front of a live audience on Exeedme’s Twitch and Discord.
The teams will be made up of five project and/or community members, and each team will pledge $200 worth of their native token to add to the $2000 prize pool. 
The event will serve as a springboard for each project – giving them exposure to different communities in the blockchain space, while building synergies with other projects, teams and communities.
The audience will also be given the chance to participate by asking questions to the founders of each project in an open mic live AMA session.

What’s up for grabs?

The winning team will take home a grand prize of $2,000 worth of mixed tokens and 5 exclusive pieces of NFT gaming artwork. 
The live audience will also get the chance to win tokens and other freebies – just by showing up and watching the matches.
