Blitz is providing a platform for online multiplayer gaming, with a specific focus on competitive gameplay. Founded in 2019 by a team of former eSport professionals and game developers, Blitz was created with the goal of developing a more streamlined and accessible way for gamers to compete in their favorite games.
The platform supports a range of popular games, including Apex Legends, League of Legends, and Valorant, among others. As well as offering a variety of features, including automated matchmaking, live stat tracking, and a leaderboard system that allows gamers to compete for prizes and recognition, Blitz is enhancing the competitive gaming experience.
Over the years Blitz has secured a number of partnerships with several of the world's leading gaming companies, including Riot Games and Epic Games, and most recently announced it would be partnering with Avalanche to bring its platform to the world of Web3. With Avalanche emerging as a leader in game development, this is a critical time for the acceleration of Blitz' platform.
