BIG3 announced that members of the Axie Infinity community – the
token-based online video game– have purchased the majority of the
Fire-Tier editions of Trilogy, receiving ownership-like value and
utility in the 2021 BIG3 defending champions. This purchase is part
of the BIG3's new model of ownership announced in April 2022, which leverages blockchain technology
to sell NFTs offering ownership-like benefits. Other BIG3 FEAT
owners include DeGods, Gary
Vaynerchuk and VeeFriends, Bill
Lee and MyDoge/DogeCoin, Krause

Coco Bear, RCTech, Aur, freak and AxieDAO on board with Trilogy,"
said BIG3 co-founder, Ice Cube. "Partnering with the largest
NFT-based game in the world demonstrates BIG3's commitment to
meaningful Web3. Hopefully, with the Axie community behind the
team, Trilogy can pull out a win this weekend and go for the
Championship 3-peat."
The BIG3 playoffs tip off at 4pm
ET on August 14th at Amalie
Arena and will see Trilogy take on Rick
Mahorn's Aliens for a spot in the 2022 Championship Game in
Atlanta, GA, on August 21. 3-Headed Monsters and Power will go
head to head for the second Championship spot. The league will
conclude the season with its first-ever Celebrity Game and
Inaugural All-Star Game on August 21.
"We are coming together as a collective group of Axie community
members to usher in a new era of fan engagement through the BIG3,"
said cloudwhite. "The culture and passion that has been curated
around the BIG3 is something we believe in along with unlocking new
opportunities for players and fans. We look forward to competing
against the other Web3 community owned teams and bringing home some
hardware."

Ethereum blockchain with the help of Ronin, a sidechain that
minimizes fees and transaction delays. It's primarily focused on
turn-based battles, either against computer-controlled Axie teams
or live opponents over the Internet.
