From Pixels to Prizes: The Evolution of Online Gaming Tournaments
The internet’s increasing connectivity allowed for faster computer hardware, and as such people started to compete against each other over a range of games. The fighting games Street Fighter II and Mortal Kombat helped establish the foundation of player versus player (PvP) gameplay. But it was id Software’s John Romero’s 1993 first-person shooter Doom that really set the stage for esports (electronic sports) with its deathmatch mode.
From there the esports scene exploded. By 2002 Major League Gaming was founded and televised, and more online competitions started to emerge as the games became more advanced.
The most recent example is the Pixels game, which aims to create a social world that takes inspiration from Stardew Valley and other idle games. Players can collect PIXEL NFTs, build their REPUTATION in-game through various activities, own FARM LAND NFTs and even Pixel Pet NFTs for trading. On 29 November 2023, Pixels released Version 1 of its Guild system which enables players to work together within Guilds to complete bigger QUESTS and achieve rewards. BERRY, the in-game cryptocurrency, can be earned from playing and participating in the community.
