The data from below shows that the number of global gamers has consistently increased each year since 2015. The large population of gamers, with 55% coming from the Asia-Pacific region, indicates a huge market opportunity. The main drivers for an ever-increasing user base remain an expanding internet population, better networking infrastructure, and easier accessibility to smartphones.
What is MOBA?
MOBA is the abbreviation of Multiplayer Online Battle Arena Games. In this type of games, players are divided into two pairs. Players choose their game characters to control, familiarize themselves with the character's damage, and purchase equipment to increase the character’s attack power. The best-known MOBA games are League of Legends, Honor of Kings, DOTA2 etc., all of which boast a large user base[ https://games.sina.cn/cyfw/cyxw/2020-03-11/detail-iimxyqvz9626655.d.html?from=wap]. In 2015, DOTA2 gained a total of 42.9 million users. In 2018, LOL had 800 million registered users, with DAU at 16 million. In 2019, Honor of Kings registered DAU of more than 50 million and MAU of over 100 million.
If we add up all the users who play MOBA games, these numbers will be exaggerated. These numbers vividly tell us that on average one out of 10 people around us is playing MOBA, and if we look at users who play games, one out of five users is playing MOBA. So there’s a huge opportunity. Especially when MOBA marches into the blockchain game field, it will disrupt the entire blockchain gaming industry.
Why MOBA games fit the current market?
[ https://www.zhihu.com/question/33498711/answer/56636454]
Traditional MMORPGs (massively multiplayer online role-playing game) require a lot of time. Players need to spend certain amount of time and money every day in the early stage before they can gain a sense of achievement. The more you invest, the happier you will feel.
MOBA, on the other hand, is quite different.
First, MOBA is very competitive, which is a far cry from MMORPG. The perfect PVP system and the fierce battle are not the core content of MMORPG. On the contrary, MOBA was born for "competition".
Second, among the factors that affect the “sense of achievement”, MOBA has a third dimension of “talent” in addition to the two dimensions of time and money. That is to say, even if they spend just a little time and money on game, talented MOBA players will achieve more than those who spend much time and money yet are not talented. That is because every MOBA game starts from a balanced state, and the level of personal skills remains the only influencing factor.
Finally, in MMO, you need to spend hundreds or thousands of hours before you can really enjoy the game. But due to the trend of time fragmentation, most players find it difficult to spend three or more hours on a game every day.
Worldspark Studios (Edenbrawl)
Worldspark Studios is a blockchain gaming startup that has veteran developers including several former Riot Games(League of Legends) developers and others from Bungie(Halo/Destiny) and Blizzard(Warcraft).
And Edenbrawl is the first AAA game developed by Worldspark Studios. "Edenbrawl" builds on and modernizes existing genres, focusing on the idea of "unique situation generators" to ensure each match is a thrilling new experience. It is an animation of multiplayer online battle arena(MOBA) games like League of Legends and Dota2, albeit with a more streamlined focus on combat. The game adopts MOBA 5v5 model, and players need real-time operation and skill release.
World of Eden--a larger Eden IP push, with World of Eden at its core.
World of Eden will serve as both a launcher into games—such as a planned action role-playing game, Trials of Eden—and an NFT-driven hub world, letting players buy and customize NFT land that can be used for houses, guild halls, social clubs, and more. 
We believe that high-quality image and playable games will attract more players and drive the development of blockchain entertainment. Thus, we see the great potential in Worldspark Studios and believe that Edenbrawl will become the first AAA blcokchain game.
Guilds to play
Players select a champion to play before a match begins, and then use that hero inside an Arena to bring victory to their team. Champions are members from multiple races, all brought (or were already there) into the Avos realm to compete in various objective based Arenas in hopes of receiving their reward.
There will be a Free Rotation of 10 champions that changes every week on Tuesdays. Because this resets each week, you'll be able to try out multiple new champions each week. Once you find one you like, you can use your honor gained from matches to permanently unlock that champion from the marketplace.
When you're ready to fight, you'll need to attack your enemy as hard as possible, even as a spell casting champion. Along with basic attacks, you can use your abilities to deal damage. There are multiple types and functions of abilities, so be sure to understand your champion's abilities before joining a battle.
