Building Mobile Esports in Africa with Pro PUBG Mobile Team
Acquiring the roster previously known as SLIME 4KT
DISCLAIMERS
This proposal is also performance based. Should our roster fail to reach top marks before the end of the first split, we will reassess continued support of this proposal. Should we come to terms that we cannot resolve our performance, players will receive prorated compensation and any remaining funds will be sent back to the treasury.
This proposal also acts as a working contract between Slime4KT and BLVKHVND DAO. For additional information, view our standard player agreement.
PROLOGUE
In 2022, BLVKHVND had many teams creating unique stories and experiences for our community and contributors. From traditional FPS esports to mobile, we were interested in discovering the best opportunities to build our brand and competitive dynasty. The most rewarding and successful was Pokemon Unite and Mobile Esports. Winning the North American regionals and World Championship in our first year was monumental. Not only was it the inaugural Pokemon Unite World Championship, we were also the first Esports DAO to win a major espoorts tournament and the first North American global champion in Mobile Esports history. An unforgettable experience that propelled the BLVKHVND brand into the Esports spotlight, forever etching our name into the history of Pokemon and Esports.
Through much consideration, the core team at BLVKHVND believes that with the potential of the genre, and the history of our brand, mobile esports presents a very promising opportunity of success and growth for the DAO, and our impact across the esports industry as a whole.
PROPOSAL
BLVKHVND Core Team wants to plant deeper roots in mobile esports and expand our reach in Africa with an acquisition of the top PUBG Mobile Nigerian team Slime4KT for the 2023 Season.
GOALS
- Qualify for the PUBG Mobile 2023 Global Championship in Turkey
- Qualify for the PUBG Mobile 2023 World Invitational in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
- Develop a social following in Africa
- Develop content around the competitive season (match day, highlights, interviews)
- Develop fan activations (URL & IRL) via merch, digital collectibles, and more
- Foster a crypto-native culture to onboard players into using crypto through BLVKHVND
THE ASK
We are asking for 13.5 ETH to be distributed over a 9 month period to fund the team’s 4-player roster, 1 substitute, and team manager. The DAO receives 45% of tournament winnings the team earns for the entire season, invitationals, world championship, and any other events we participate in in 2023.
Funds will be sent to a multisig composed of 3 core team members and 2 community members interested in team management. After funds are sent to the multisig, the committee will issue monthly payments to the players and relevant staff.
Multisig holders:
- sirsu.eth
- teelon

ABOUT THE LEAGUE
Competing in the PUBG Mobile Pro League: Africa during the 2023 season.
Two seasonal splits, Spring and Fall, serve as qualifier events into the MEA (Middle East and Africa) Championships, The PUBG Mobile World Invitational and the PUBG Mobile Global Championships. The PUBG MPL: Africa has a combined prize pool of $200,000 USD over the two splits. The events that feed off the regional series have a combined prize pool of $6,300,000 USD. The World Invitational and the Global Championships make up for the majority of that total prize pool ($6,000,000), This team did not qualify for those events last year however they were very close and are definitely capable of earning qualification this year.
All of the PUBG Mobile circuit has official broadcasts in English. Additionally the African region is supported with an Arabic broadcast. The major events broadcasts are accessible in many different languages.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The Slime4KT team was created in Oct 2019 and started competing in the 2021 season. The roster in the 2022 season earned a total of $31K in tournament winnings accounting for 75% of their total earnings as an unsigned team. Financially, with the 45% split of tournament earnings between our roster and the DAO, if we secure qualification to the World Invitational or Global Championship, we are net positive in our expenditure from tournament earnings alone. Combine this with active fan engagement and conversion through streams, merch, and NFTs, this team can potentially become the first BLVKHVND team to sustainably make a profit for the DAO.
