WISP GAME - THE FUTURE OF CYBER SPORTS WITH A UNIQUE TOURNAMENT GRID (FAQ)
WISP GAME is a new and unique eSports platform for the competitive games Counter-Strike: Global offensive and Dota 2. The base is also adapted for competitions in other equally large and popular games. Our distinctive feature is the tournament grid, where teams never know their opponent. This determines the outcome of matches and proves that the strongest wins. Here perseverance prevails over experience and fame!
Our main goal is to develop cyber sport in Belarus and other countries. It is fast-growing and accessible to all the sport, because all a gamer needs is just a room and computers. Plus connection to the WISP GAME platform with its intuitive interface, easy controls and accessibility will help make the process twice as enjoyable.
- HOW DID THE IDEA FOR THE PROJECT COME ABOUT?
Artem, a business owner in Brest, approached the team of K&K IT company to promote his idea to the team. He had always been interested in eSports and loved playing in local tournaments in his hometown. His plans were to create a unique platform where people from all over the world could compete with each other... Even earlier we began to develop opportunities to enter the Web3 market and we saw in Artem's proposal an opportunity to develop a large and successful project out of that. This is how the idea of the WISP GAME with a unique grid was born.
With the concept ready we set to work. Developers, designers, managers, testers and analysts began to work through all the possible outcomes in search of the best version of MVP. The concept went through several tests. And already in September 2022 the platform was launched, but the project at that time was still in development and improving all the features. And since January 2023 we are starting the way to enter new markets, we are working on adding crypto features and we are developing our first NFT tournament. In addition, our tournaments will be scheduled monthly/weekly/every day. Now is the best opportunity to start playing with WISP GAME. And walk this path of excellence with us.
Our unique tournament grid is a level playing field! The opposing team is randomly selected and even if you're eliminated, you have one more chance to make it to the finals. The best team will win!
You can see what our tournament grid looks like below.
Let's take the 8-team tournament as an example. Four teams are eliminated in the first round, two in the second round, and one in the third round. This is how we determine the first winner (first round).
Fortunately for you, all those who lost in the first round get a chance to win on the second try. All six eliminated teams from the first round participate in a new competition. And a second winner (second round) is chosen from among them.
It turns out that at the end, the team of the winner of the first and second chance competes. Here we'll see if another chance will help the obvious winner from the first round. And with the WISP GAME, the impossible is possible, so you can become champion even after the first elimination.
1 STEP. Register on the platform. You can log in with your Google account. https://wisp.game
2 STEP. Bind your Steam account in the upper right corner. You can add any account, even if you just created it.
3 STEP. Next, you need to create a team or join someone else's team.
If you create a team, go to the tab "My teams" and invite 4 more participants. Click on the empty circle and start entering the email of another player you want to invite to the team. The player receives a message to his email and must accept the invitation.
If you want to join the team, you have to wait for the captain to add you, the email will come, click on the link and confirm your participation in the team. Very soon we will add a confirmation of invites feature right on the platform.
4 STEP. The captain should go to the tournaments tab and register for the tournament.
One hour before the start of the tournament check-in opens, the captain should confirm your participation.
One minute before the start, voting for cards opens, all team members participate. Voting lasts 30 seconds. If the number of votes for a card is equal, the choice is made at random.
Immediately after voting, the tournament begins, and the Play button appears on the site. Clicking on it, you start the game and the match begins.
Now you're in the game with the WISP GAME!
- HOW IS THE WINNER DETERMINED IF BOTH TEAMS DON'T SHOW UP FOR THE MATCH?
We know that there can be controversial situations, but we have also provided for them. In case of no-show of two teams at the game, the winner is chosen according to the highest rank of the Steam account. The team with the total highest rank wins with a score of 0-0. If both teams have the same rank, the winner is chosen randomly. There are cases when one of the teams logged into the match and the other did not, then the winner is automatically the one that logged in.
Each side has the right to take two pauses of 45 seconds by saying the command !pause in the chat. But be cautious and approach them thoughtfully, there will be no third attempt!
- CAN I WATCH THE BROADCAST AFTER THE MATCH?
Yes, all matches are recorded on the server and you can watch them after the game and even learn from your strategic mistakes.
- HOW MUCH DO I HAVE TO PAY TO TAKE PART IN THE TOURNAMENT?
None! Participation is absolutely free in honor of the launch of "WISP", of course, this will not always be the case, so take your time. In the future we plan to introduce bonuses for the first platform players who have been with us from the beginning. It will be something interesting, but we haven't decided what, so we are waiting for your suggestions!
We realized that for big tournaments we still lack the trust of users, as many are skeptical about such a big prize pool. For this reason we decided to change our strategy: We will run a series of fast tournaments, two and four teams, for small prizes ($5-$10), but they will run constantly. For two teams every day, and for four on weekends, as we get more people at the site, the number of tournaments will increase. We hope you like this format and WISP starts to get some life. After some time, we will add payments, there will be more tournaments and even more prizes.
- WHAT COUNTRIES MAY I PLAY FROM?
There is no limit, you can play from anywhere in the world! It's perfect to travel with us and keep growing in eSports.
- WHAT SERVER SETTINGS ARE USED?
As a game server we use the Dathost platform https://dathost.net/for-platforms, but in the future we plan to create our own. Popular platforms such as Challergemord, Leetify, 121GameOn, Refrag, PopFhash.site, Epulze also use it.
The platform has a built-in tickrate of 128. Tickrate is the frequency at which the server updates the game data. Adequate registration of hits on players, smoothness of movement - the main indicators that gamers notice when switching from tickrate 64 to 128. It is the tournament standard for CS for a reason. This is an advantage of the WISP GAME over the usual competitive mode.
At Dathost there is also Anti-Cheat - an automated system designed to detect cheats that are installed on users' computers. That is why cheaters on our platform - a rarity. But even if someone manages to cheat the system, we resolve bugs during tournaments in a timely manner.
- WHAT SHOULD I DO IF THERE IS AN ERROR?
If you noticed a bug or bug in the program, you can email us at support@wisp.game or in our bot on the Telegram https://t.me/wisp_platform_bot. We will advise you on everything and help you fix the problem
- CAN YOU TAKE RESPONSIBILITY THAT THE DATA IS PROTECTED?
We know how every player is worried about his Steam account, as we - the creators of the platform, gamers like you, took this issue as seriously as possible. Our company is registered in Belarus, the hosting provider is our partner Active Cloud. On our part, we take all measures to ensure the safety of your personal data.
Connecting Steam account is required to participate in tournaments, from which we get data about the player and statistics, which we display for you. Connection is made through the API Steam. When you log into your account, you do this on Steam, and then you return to the platform. We don't have access to your account; we only get the information that Steam itself gives you, which is public. If the account is closed, we can't even get statistics from it. This connection method is used on all platforms
- WHY SHOULD WE CHOOSE YOU OVER THE COMPETITORS?
1 reason. Free participation in honor of the launch of the project and the possibility of a big win.
2 reason. Our unique tournament grid allows you to compete only in WAY, not by reputation. The opposing team is determined randomly, and you never know your opponent directly.
3 reason. You always get a second try! Even if you're eliminated, you have one more chance to make it to the finals.
4 reason. Also our platform will be adjusted to crypto opportunities soon, there will be NFT tournaments. We are going for innovation and we support our players in this. So stay tuned for our updates!
But we can't stop... It's better to try once than read a thousand, so…
The WISP GAME eSports platform for Counter-Strike: Global offensive and Dota 2 invites you to participate in a series of mini tournaments in which we are giving away prizes every day to celebrate the launch of the platform.
