manto19 Crypto: YAMZU = Making eSports competitions available to gamers at every location on Earth.

What is Yamzu?

Chance

Not only is the eSports market in the middle of an economic boom, but new revenue streaming opportunities also appear every day in this wider market. New technologies such as smart contracts, decentralized applications, and Blockchain represent unprecedented opportunities for company success to determine its niche in the evolving game world. We believe that companies in particular are trying to get the most out of the application of new emerging technologies for online games.

Solution

eSports has evolved from simple simple entertainment to full Entertainment phenomenon is equivalent to many traditional sports. Professional ESports teams now hold multi-million dollar sponsors, compete in tournaments around the world, and fill the entire arena with supporters (and soon, they will take over

television ranks). The new generation is now growing inspired by adults who can

make a living by playing video games and more eSports fans want

to pursue this newly formed career path. The next frontier in competitive games will be creating opportunities for gamers to play eSports directly from the comfort of their own homes, without having to find sponsors to support them financially.

All this will not be possible without the introduction of a platform that allows players to monetize their wins. Yamzu wants to provide players on the basis of activating the platform for eSports that will specifically meet this need.

Platform Yamzu

adjusted to include every type of player, amateur and professional. Yamzu

has successfully integrated Countererstrike Global Offensive ("CS: GO") and League of Legends ("LoL") on its platform, and now both titles are straightforward, other computer-based games have entered the pipeline and are scheduled to be implemented in the near future.

Company

Yamzu is a Swedish Game Company that is successful with the current user base ending 10,000 players. We get income, and we have worked to put forward things that the brand can recognize . These two characteristics make our organization benefit both from the full advantage of the opportunities for new revenue streams generated by Blockchain-related technologies. Yamzu is different from newly formed competitors since then active and real businesses that have been operating since 2016 and have since achieved surprising results from a 300% growth rate in revenue. Yamzu

The team has collected direct experience in the field that cannot be replicated by newly formed competitors. This means that Yamzu can implement his breakthrough

idea much faster than the rest of the market. Because gamers recognize our brand, they will quickly adapt to our platform. Yamzu has gained and allocated a significant amount of revenue into the business therefore we are ideally positioned to reuse the potential funds available through Sales Tokens to pursue our business expansion worldwide thanks to the application of Blockchain technology

Yamzu Overview

Yamzu is designed as a fully operational, browser-based eSports tournament platform. The Yamzu platform makes eSports competitions available to any gamer in any location on Earth.

The platform is the only one of its kind, being entirely browser-based. Rival companies

face constant struggles due to users’ privacy concerns, and several other entry barriers such as the need to download a user interface. Meanwhile, our internal user research shows that a browser-based platform does indeed show more growth potential. These factors instill confidence, especially considering Yamzu’s preexisting user base (10,000) and irrefutable track record of 300% annual growth in just two years of activity.

Platform
The platform is tailored to suit the needs of:

Players and teams battling for prizes and rewards.
Brands, influencers, and organizations that wish to set up tournaments.
Advertisers and sponsors targeting eSports audiences.

Currently Yamzu supports CS:GO and LoL, two of the most popular eSports games in the world. The platform is ready to integrate many more popular games such as DOTA2, Call of Duty, Battlefield, and PUBG.

Earnings income
Yamzu generates revenue through the following three outlets:

1. Yamzu maintains the cost of each entry fee paid by the user to gain access to the tour or to organize matches between peers. The cost structure is designed in the following ways:

12.5% for games / tournaments where there are fewer than two participating teams;
15% for games / tournaments where there are more than two teams participating;
Of the costs described above, 2.5% is the current VAT (Value Added Tax) and paid directly by Yamzu to the relevant government.

2. Yamzu licenses the machine to the company that wants to hold the event.
3. Yamzu holds sponsored events for brands that want exclusive rights to hold events on line.

Vision

As a brand, Yamzu plans to develop a number of niches in the gaming industry - including but not limited to entertainment hubs, talent agencies that support Twitch Ribbon, and niche-oriented clothing lines.

In the long run, Yamzu imagined the platform as the real home name

ESports competition from all skill levels. At the same time, we developed several Blockchain-based Projects on the platform, some of which were almost ready to be implemented.

Yamzu is determined to become a leading eSports tournament host and host,

both are affiliated with P2P (Peer to Peer) gaming and with significant regional and global tournaments. The fact that Yamzu has supported the active platform gives strength to our projections. In the future, we will work with game developers to form a symbiotic relationship that surrounds the creation of new games. By doing so, both Yamzu and value creators (eg developers) will collaborate to encourage more gamers to participate in the intersection of paid games and cryptocurrency.

Problem

Unfair working conditions have plagued value creators in the gaming industry since eSports began generating income for professional players.

The reason behind this scenario is that the industry has developed so rapidly, the rules and regulations governing working conditions are still in a constant state. As a result, eSports has seen many cases where players have no right to compensation, contracts are violated and the professional team's reputation is tarnished.

Solution

Yamzu's fully automated system is based on events that users create

effectively eliminating all forms of uncertainty.

Gamers will be paid automatically at the end of each match / tournament through an automatic pool prize allocation system supported by Blockchain Technology;

there is practically no room for error. Thanks to the introduction of the Smart Contract each transaction will be executed automatically, both sponsors and users send and receive funds to and from their wallets in a much safer and more efficient way. Smart contracts cannot be damaged by external sources, which means that beneficiaries will be 100% sure to receive appropriate compensation for their efforts.

In addition, the application of virtual currency as a payment tool will generate several other options for monetization that our users can use.
