Valhalla, a blockchain-based MMORPG designed as Floki’s flagship metaverse game, has announced the commencement of its first major tournament.
The tournament will mark a major milestone for the gaming platform while further enhancing its features as a player-driven economy and a hexagonal battlefield designed for dynamic combat.
While it invites players from all over the world, aiming to spotlight the best players in the blockchain gaming ecosystem, the tournament offers a $75,000 prize pool for its top 64 contenders.
According to the announcement, the game has been designed as a competitive battleground for players worldwide. Valhalla blends strategy, skill, and blockchain-powered gameplay in a Norse-inspired metaverse.
 
With the game, players control powerful creatures called Veras and battle in fast-paced, 3v3 turn-based combat, and now, the stakes are higher than ever.
Notably, the tournament format consists of three concurrent single-elimination bracket tournaments that run simultaneously every two months.
While each tournament begins with a qualification phase, where players compete in up to three matches, earning one point for every win, the top 64 scorers from each tournament advance to the Main Event. However, ELO rankings determine who advances in situations when players are tied.
The Main Event, on the other hand, is a six-round, 64-player single-elimination bracket, where only one winner will rise to the top. As such, players are encouraged to choose their tournament wisely as they can only enter one per cycle. Each match is 3v3 only, and special rules apply, including shorter turn times and no draws.
According to the announcement, Valhalla’s first major tournament boasts a massive prize pool totaling over $75,000, all paid out in $FLOKI.
The grand winner will walk away with $25,000, while the runner-up earns $10,000. Semi-finalists (3rd and 4th place) will each receive $5,000, while those who place 5th through 8th will receive $2,000 each, followed by $1,000 prizes for 9th through 16th place.
Players ranking from 17th to 32nd will be rewarded with $500 each, and even those finishing between 33rd and 64th won’t go home empty-handed; they’ll receive $200 each for making it into the bracket.
