BLAST Open Season 2 Nova shots: How to play
BLAST.tv is full of exciting games for you to play, and a new one is coming for BLAST Open Season 2.
In partnership with Nova Wallet, BLAST Open Season 2 will allow fans to play Nova Shots, a live prediction game that allows players to "invest" in their favourite teams for a chance to win a share of a $25,000 USDT prize pool.
Unsure what that means?
Don't worry, we've got you covered, and we've also got Counter-Strike legend dupreeh here to help you figure out how maximise your chances of getting your hands on some of the prize pool.
What is Nova Shots?
Although Nova Shots may sound like gambling, we need to make on thing clear: it really isn't. Nova Shots simulates a stock market experience for players, allowing them to buy and sell Team Tokens in order to manipulate said stock market.
The winning players will be those that hold hold as many tokens as possible of the team who ends up winning the event.
Completely free to play by downloading the app at Novashots.io, you can't even invest real money into it to try and gain an advantage over the other competitors.
How to play Nova Shots
You'll first need to download the app and create an account, and from there, the steps are pretty simple:
- When users create an account, they all start with 1,000 BLAST Tokens.
- BLAST tokens are used to buy and sell Team Tokens as the tournament unfolds. Trade anytime. Buy, sell, switch between teams.
- Team prices move based on what other players are doing - it works just like a stock market, but instead of companies, players are trading CS teams.
- If the player is holding Team Tokens in a team when they win their map, they’ll get a 5% bonus added to their Team Token balance within a few minutes of the match ending.
- Sell Team Tokens back into BLAST Tokens whenever the player decides to move into something else. The more players buy a team, the higher its price goes. The more they sell, the more the price drops.
- Users can win a share of the $25,000 USDT prize pool by holding as many tokens as possible of the winning team.
All that means is that you'll need to keep an eye on the value of your Team Tokens as the tournament progresses, and look to sell them if it means you can profit and stack Tokens for whoever you think might win the event.
If you're lucky - or smart - enough to be one of the players that gets a portion of the prize pool, it will be sent to your Nova Wallet after the tournament concludes.
dupreeh's tips
"I would go with Vitality, Spirit, and MOUZ to make some easy tokens and to hopefully play a bit safe.
Maybe spread it out 3/4 and put the last part of my tokens on Legacy. I want to make sure I don't lose everything from the get go, but hope to make some profit from my favourites, and spice it up a bit, hoping for an upset from Legacy early on!
If I make a good profit, I would then reconsider my options depending on how the teams has been playing at the event, and maybe even go all-in on a team I strongly believe could win it all."
