I'm skeptical.

There are some projects that aimed to develop the blockchain to give another new way to the build the esports platform based in the blockchain. But that will depend at the end of the development.

Blockchain is the future. Every technology can be made simpler using blockchain and smart contracts.
We'll be seeing a total decentralized transaction, hosting, cloud computing,etc.

Well I definitely agree that decentralized transactions are going to completely disrupt today's business transaction processing - when, I cannot say, but it will definitely happen. History is replete with examples of how more efficient technology wins out over time - even when strong opposition is offered from those making money from legacy processes (e.g. Uber, RIAA, etc). However, I'm not sure how blockchain technology is going to disrupt hosting and cloud computing, unless you're just talking about the contracts that support these services?

I see game projects connecting games with blockchains that fail many times and their developers are not continuing their projects, deserted enthusiasts.

Not sure how it can disrupt hosting and cloud computing, but I know it will disrupt the marketplace and esports interaction. Looks like unikoingold is trying to become the universal esports token. Their platform unikrn already does skill based wagers, tournaments, match betting, raffles, lotteries, and a marketplace. UnikoinGold is a utility token but it looks like they're going to expand its capabilities.

Great article! Definitely agree.
You hear of MindSports.IO? New gaming platform for games like Chess, Poker, and GO.
They've got an ICO coming up in a couple of weeks. Great team, solid concept.
Could really change the landscape of games like that online. It supports playing, spectating, betting, and user generated content and all financial transactions live on the blockchain.

It would be lit to see such a case to be true. For all I know gaming is bae and the price that those people get is so much better as a reward when compared to another competition. Not only with esports most of the possible fields will be changed forever if block chain technology enters the specific field.

I'm looking at Dmarket, Enjin, Skrilla, and WAX Token.

The only one with a vetted team of leaders that understands esports and the future is WAX Token.

The other ones are looking to focus on the gambling or in game currency. Only WAX Token seems to be headed towards actual use of the blockchain to disrupt the video game landscape and provide safe, secure access to viritual items and create a stable utility currency to complete their mission.

Curious what ya'll think about it as well.

Maybe another 5 yrs. it would be great if they integrate blockchain in the game mechanics like its not hackable and prevents players from injecting cheats/hacks

Blockchain will be the future anyway... maybe one day we elect presidents on the blockchain
