OVAL3, a fantasy card game that blends the love for rugby with the opportunities provided by NFTs, has set its sights on increasing visibility. The company has recently announced that it will launch a portion of its exclusive NFT collection on Binance NFT. The collection’s release is timed a few months ahead of the much-anticipated Rugby World Cup 2023 in France and has the potential to become the rugby equivalent of Sorare. OVAL3 has set an ambitious target to bring professional rugby into the heart of Web3, offering players and supporters an immersive fantasy league game intertwined with NFTs.
OVAL3 has become a significant player in the industry through several exclusive partnerships with the French Ligue Nationale de Rugby (LNR) and the American Major League Rugby (MLR). The official license from the LNR, valid for nine years, has given OVAL3 the rights to the renowned TOP14 and its second division PROD2. This agreement has enabled OVAL3 to associate more than 1500 players and 30 professional clubs with the project. The partnership with Major League Rugby has also provided OVAL3 with a significant foothold in the transatlantic sports market.
OVAL3’s Fantasy Game Using NFTs
OVAL3’s Marketplace launched on April 7, 2023, and has already facilitated the purchase of player cards through auction-style bidding on Polygon. The company has assembled more than 1500 players and 30 professional clubs with the project. Select OVAL3 NFTs will be available on Binance NFT for a period of two months. The platform will feature exceptional cards representing players from TOP14, PRO D2, and MLR clubs. Each week, one club from each championship will be highlighted, and different cards will be auctioned off for 24 hours each day.
Like Sorare, OVAL3’s cards depict players and provide real-life performance information about them. They come in five rarity levels: common, limited, rare, super rare, and unique. To play OVAL3’s fantasy game, users follow three simple steps: collecting “player” cards on the Oval3 marketplace or Binance NFT, forming a team of 5 players, participating in competitions against other managers, and winning rewards based on their leaderboard ranking. These rewards include cards, OVL3 tokens, merchandise, match tickets, and real-life fan experiences.
In its quest to become the global platform for digital assets in rugby, OVAL3 is paving the way for an immersive fan experience by combining Web3 technologies and traditional game modes. OVAL3 believes that the future of rugby is digital, immersive, and deeply engaging. By amalgamating NFTs and fantasy leagues, the company has given rugby fans a new digital experience.
