1. Game Presentation
MagicCraft is a real-time strategy (RTS) game set in a fantasy world populated by heroes, magical creatures, and rival factions. Players must combine tactical management with resource deployment to defeat their opponents and conquer territories. Thanks to well-thought-out game mechanics, MagicCraft offers great strategic depth, encouraging high-level battles, particularly suited for e-sports tournaments. The game also incorporates a crucial team dynamic, where coordination and synergy between players can make all the difference.

2. Arena League Presentation
The MagicCraft Arena League, powered by Ultra, marks a new milestone in the evolution of e-sports competitions. Ultra designed this league to address major issues in the industry, such as the lack of recognition for new talent and the excessive influence of large organizations on the tournament economy. The Arena League uses blockchain technology and Uniq digital assets, allowing for greater transparency and autonomy in managing teams and rewards. Every player, even beginners, has the chance to participate in open rankings and climb the ranks to the Pro League, where the top competitors reside.
3. Tournament Type and Playoff Stages
The MagicCraft Arena League was organized into several levels of difficulty, starting with amateur tournaments up to professional ones. This structure allows beginner players to be scouted and qualify for more prestigious tournaments, culminating in the Pro League, the elite of the competition. The playoff stages are the highlight of each season, where only the top-ranked teams face off to reach the grand finals. These stages showcase intense rivalry, with each team striving to prove their worth through sophisticated strategies and highly technical gameplay.

4. Final Stages with Blast Royale, La Covacha Guild, and Ultra Times
The final stages of the season offered thrilling action, with spectacular showdowns between the best teams. After a fierce competition, the Blast Royale team claimed victory, defeating the powerful La Covacha Guild in the final. La Covacha Guild was known for their tactical expertise and team cohesion throughout the competition, finishing first in the group stage before the final.
UltraTimes, despite their efforts, finished in third place after displaying excellent gameplay throughout the tournament. The finals were a key moment, with emotions running high among the players. Fans could follow the events via live streams, especially on Ultra, where the intensity of the matches and the community's engagement were palpable, as you can see here !
5. Rewards
One of the most innovative aspects of the Arena League is its rewards system based on blockchain technology. For this first edition, the prize pool reached 3,000 dollars, but the most groundbreaking aspect lies in the ability for players and teams to generate additional income through digital assets created during the tournaments. These assets can increase in value over time, offering a new economic dimension for participants. This model, focused on fair distribution of earnings, revolutionizes the way players can be rewarded in e-sports.
6. Event Organization
The organization of the Arena League was praised for its smoothness and professionalism. JxTol, a player from the Ultra Times team in the Pro League, shared his thoughts: "The MagicCraft competition was an incredible experience. The organization was top-notch – a smooth registration process, clear communication, and well-structured events. I appreciated that everything was on time and that the staff support was always present. This really strengthened the competitive spirit and made the experience enjoyable for all participants."
We also received a glowing testimonial from Pepsik, a member of the Blast Royale team : "It is very difficult to tell about the ultra tournament in a nutshell! The tournament was held at a high level, it was the first time I played magic craft at such a good level. This game had everything the players needed. Each team has a manager, a lot of new acquaintances and a lot of emotions throughout the month. We won this tournament, but there were also defeats while we were going to the finals. We know many players, and each team has prepared differently. Our team was assembled randomly. I want to say a big thank you to the ultra team, I hope they will hold similar tournaments often. I would also like to note that this tournament had the largest prize pool".
This commitment to providing a quality experience was reflected in the enthusiasm of the participants. The technical support and team management ensured a competitive atmosphere while taking care of every logistical detail.
7. Future Prospects for Ashes Of Mankind
With the success of the Arena League and its impact on the competitive MagicCraft scene, Ultra is certainly considering expanding this structure to other games. Ashes Of Mankind, the exclusive FPS developed by Black Ice Studios for Ultra, could be the next to benefit from this innovative approach. Blockchain and Ultra Arena could also be used to create revenue opportunities for Ashes Of Mankind players, while integrating a new layer of strategy into the e-sports ecosystem. This could pave the way for even more diverse and attractive competitions, solidifying Ultra's inclusive and fair approach in the competitive gaming industry.
