Success in either field requires skills, focus and the&#13;<br \/>\nright state of mind. And there&#8217;s a special connection between both communities,&#13;<br \/>\nwhere real fans champion sportsmanship, respect and fairness, and the pros&#13;<br \/>\ncompete to bring out the best in each other,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p>Bybit says the partnership will be up close and personal.

Troops and solo&#13;<br \/>\nplayers will compete for a&#13;<br \/>\nprize pool of up to $7.5 million in WSOT 2021, almost five times of last year&#8217;s&#13;<br \/>\ntotal prize sum. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are off to a good start with the creative energy and friendly&#13;<br \/>\nrivalry among the esports organizations. I feel that WSOT 2021 is the perfect&#13;<br \/>\nplace in time to invite esports creators and fans to join the world of the&#13;<br \/>\nfuture of finance. Attractive prize money and NFT prizes are up for grabs in&#13;<br \/>\nWSOT 2021, but for each participant it&#8217;s about creating an experience on a&#13;<br \/>\nlevel playing field.
