Play2Live Cryptomasters with $100,000 prize pool

Held at the Falcon Club in Minsk on February 24-25, the Play2live Cryptomasters will see eight teams - seven invited and one qualified - face off for the first prize of $50,000.

The most intriguing aspect of the tournament is that the prizes will not be paid in cash but through Play2Live's own cryptocurrency, called Level Up Coin (LUC), which can be used to place bets on the livestreaming platform or to be converted to fiat currencies or a variety of other cryptocurrencies.
