The industry just announced a major collaboration: top esports club Team Secret officially partners with the Checkmate ecosystem.

What signals does this reveal? Simply put— the huge traffic and complete competitive system framework of traditional esports are beginning to actively lean towards the Web3 gaming ecosystem.

Specifically, Team Secret's involvement is not just a simple brand partnership, but rather integrating the organizational capabilities of esports tournaments, fan base, and professional player resources into the Checkmate gaming ecosystem centered around the $CHECK token. What does this mean? It means that millions of esports viewers and participants will have the opportunity to engage with on-chain competitive games, and the Checkmate ecosystem also gains the trust endorsement of traditional esports.

From the perspective of industry evolution, this is a landmark moment marking the true bridging and integration of traditional competitive gaming and Web3 games, as they each explore their paths. The professional operational system of esports meets the incentive mechanisms of blockchain, and the path between them is truly being paved.

To be honest, Team Secret's move this time is really impressive, but I still want to see how the $CHECK token will perform in the future. Millions of viewers flooding into on-chain games—how many can actually be retained? Just traffic isn't enough. Wait, are their professional players also participating? If they really start competing, on-chain competitive gaming might truly take off. Traditional esports giants are all in on Web3 now. Is anyone still calling it a bubble? But honestly, how is the game quality in the Checkmate ecosystem? Just backing without good products is pointless.

Team Secret finally stepped into the arena, now the traffic in the esports world will be directed onto the chain. --- By the way, the Check ecosystem's move is good, but whether $CHECK can ride this wave of popularity depends on luck. --- Millions of esports viewers? Sounds impressive, but the key is still the conversion rate. --- The combination of traditional esports and Web3—I'm just wondering if professional players will really go to play. --- This is called integration in a nice way, but frankly, it's just esports looking for a new way out—everyone's short of money. --- Secret's move was smart, but can the Checkmate ecosystem hold up? I'm a bit worried. --- On-chain competitions aiming to rival traditional esports—still lacking the right infrastructure. --- For this $CHECK token, do holders benefit from it? I'm a bit curious. --- At the end of the day, it's just traffic exchanged for tokens—an old trick, everyone. --- True integration is still far off, don't be too optimistic.

Haha, it's another new trick to cut leeks. Pumping esports popularity just to harvest profits.

It's just another new way to scam retail investors, that's all. Do esports players really play blockchain games? Nonsense. Wait, did Team Secret really drop out? Then I need to check out how this coin is doing. Traditional esports is really starting to embrace blockchain games, and this time it seems a bit different. Talking up a storm, but what will be the fate of $CHECK in the end? Let's wait and see. Integrating esports traffic into Web3 sounds great, but only a few can actually make money from it. Oh wow, another "revolutionary" partnership, looks just like marketing tricks. No way, is it true? Did Team Secret really go all-in on Checkmate? If you can succeed just by leveraging traffic and trust, then it should have happened long ago. Maybe they’re overhyping it a bit.

Hah, did Team Secret really step into the arena? This time, Web3 gaming finally has some credibility. --- Millions of esports fans flooding into blockchain games? Is $CHECK ready to catch this wave? --- Basically, the money from traditional esports is finally flowing into on-chain projects, which is the real deal. --- Professional systems combined with blockchain incentives... sounds good, but do esports fans really care about tokens? --- No hype, no blackening. If this partnership can produce some real results, it’s worth it. But I’m worried it might just be another rug pull scheme. --- Millions of fans entering? Has $CHECK prepared to rug pull? Haha. --- Is this path finally paved? I guess we’ll see. Although esports has traffic, it doesn’t necessarily mean they’re buying into Web3. --- Secret has stepped in. Now the blockchain gaming community is going to get lively.
