Immutable Masters Illuvium Pro League Marks Illuvium's First Big Esports Push

— Immutable, a prominent player in the Web3 gaming sector, in collaboration with Illuvium, renowned for its innovative autobattler game, has unveiled an exciting event that marks a significant milestone outside the World Event of the Illuvium Pro League (IPL). This event, dubbed the Immutable Masters IPL 1000, will feature three competitive tiers: IPL 250, IPL 500, and IPL 1000. The competition kicks off with open qualifiers on October 3rd, leading to the Main Event on October 4th, where participants will vie for a total prize pool of $20,000.

Illuvium Arena: A New Era in Competitive Gaming

In Illuvium Arena, players are tasked with drafting unique creatures known as Illuvials, each possessing special abilities. The game demands not only strategic thinking but also clever positioning and psychological tactics. Aimed at both participants and viewers, Illuvium Arena sets a benchmark for competitive esports within the Web3 sphere. Throughout this IPL season, Illuvium has allocated $250,000 in prize funds, with opportunities for further expansion as the event progresses. “Our approach is to start with a solid foundation. We have over $14 million designated for prize pools, enabling us to scale up quickly when the moment is right,” stated Kieran Warwick, Co-Founder and CEO of Illuvium. “The IPL 1000 represents more than just a $20,000 tournament; it is a pivotal move towards validating that Web3 games can compete alongside the most prestigious esports franchises globally.”
