Crypto Games Conference Minsk OCT 2018 Highlights by Crypto Hulk

Crypto Games Conference @ Minsk Belarus,

CGC started their journey in May 18 with a the first edition of the conference in Kiev,
For the 2nd Edition CGC headed to Minsk - Belarus within the Soviet Union.
As for now CGC is the biggest Crypto Games Conference attracting more then 600 Professionals developers, investors, gamers, distributors from more then 100 different Brands from 25+ Countries.

First of all we would like to say thanks to the amazing team that pulled this up again especially to Maria Aliexieieva for making our community be part of the conference.

Will start with the hospitality :)

Arrived at Minsk straight to the Pre-Party & Badge pick-up to collect my badge. The pre-part was held at MRTA lounge bar and judging by the atmosphere at the venue I’d say many of them found new gaming groups, had a chance to have some snacks & free drinks, here i would like to thank Slav from Highcore labs always good to have a local friend :) specially when the taxi driver don't speak a word in English :)

The second night of the conference was one of the best :) The team rented a club in the city for the whole conference as we arrived we got offered free drinks & snacks on the bar, and as you can imagine when you start to drink with 90% around you Russian speakers.. was a good night to remember.

Anyway back to our Crypto Games Conference, Conference was located at the a really amazing venue at the 1st floor of the Marriott hotel with stunning view of the river next to it.

The venue was divided nicely into different sections from Pith & Meeting room, Business Lounge, Meeting Room, Expo Zone and 2 Panels Halls Yellow and Blue, as you can see on the map below

With over 65+ Speakers over the panels, unfortunately it was impossible to attend them all.
One of the highlights of the day was the Conventional Game Developer’s Perspective on Blockchain Gaming Experts Opinion panel Moderated by Vladimir Tomko.

Mostly had amazing chats outside the panels over the showroom about the industry, I can say that from my point of view, The industry needs a bridge to get crypto gaming into mass adoption, Sirin labs for example are creating the first blockchain wallet with a Cold/Warm Slide wallet included inside the phone, Finney will definitely help the mass get into the crypto world easier and more friendly.

From games we need to see more playable games & fully working games on the browser & mobile.
In order to reach the Esports industry the games need to have a sort of interaction with them, If it's a collectible token game instead of building a Justin Sun character aim to a Ninja "Egamer Twitcher Celeb" or a egamers teams collectable cards, or at least stop trying to copy one each other so much with so many animals collectible tokens some of them i don't even call games..

When the 2018 top played Video Games are shooting games like Fortnite, Pubg, GTA, i look forward to see more of this type of games, This can bring the egamers into our industry, As for now a few games are working on that such as Warfield, Decimated, FUBG..

From the Platforms section we see a good progress with the interaction between esports & blockchain, platforms such as PLay2live the first streaming platform for gamers and esports fans - presents an exclusive broadcast of the СryptØmasters Dota 2 championship on P2L.TV

Soon Crypto Games Conference will share all the panels videos over their Youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZmuISk65eYEzROEwVtDvZw
