Axie Infinity’s Elite 8 Tournament Set for April 21st Showdown

MANILA, Philippines — Axie Infinity has announced its Elite 8 tournament, scheduled for April 21, continuing the Origins Season 12 postseason. This event will gather the top eight competitors in the game, featuring a total prize pool of 10,000 AXS tokens.

The Elite 8 tournament is the pinnacle of competitive gameplay within Axie Infinity, a blockchain game developed by Sky Mavis. Players will battle for not just bragging rights but also a share of 3,000 AXS specifically allocated for the tournament’s winners. This format promises thrilling matchups as competitors vie for the coveted title.

<p“All finalists will receive Morph Tickets to optimize their team setups,” a spokesperson for Axie Infinity stated. The tournament will employ a double-elimination bracket, requiring players to register three teams of three Axies while adhering to strict rules to ensure a level playing field.

To maintain fairness, players are prohibited from reusing a winning team during the same match, and a tool will assist in verifying team eligibility before matches commence. The Grand Finals will offer a significant advantage to players who progress without incurring a loss, termed the “twice-to-beat” format.

“With the growing popularity of Axie Infinity, the Elite 8 tournament encapsulates our commitment to competitive integrity and community engagement,” added the spokesperson. Players must submit Morph Parts if their teams include collectible Axies. It’s important to note that after registration, Axies and their configurations cannot be altered.

In addition to the tournament, the postseason seeks to reward collectors. For Season 12, players who earned Collectible Chests will automatically receive AXS based on their Collectible Tickets. The overall collectible reward pool amounts to 7,000 AXS, and with over 18 million Collectible Tickets distributed, each ticket currently valued at approximately 0.371523 mAXS will enhance the excitement.

“We are excited to see how players strategize during the Elite 8 tournament,” said another representative from the Axie team. Rewards will be directly deposited into players’ Ronin wallets, ensuring a seamless experience as they prepare for the competitive matches ahead.
