Partnerships & Sponsors

Both events will also be sponsored by external partners other than Axie Infinity. As mentioned by the Founder of Blytz Esports, Nas, “These sponsors help contribute to our prize pool and we would like to expand our network and name alongside with our partners as we live in an up and coming era of Web 3.0 and we as Blytz Esports intend to pave the way”.
