Sorare is a unique concept of Fantasy Football that runs on the Ethereum blockchain network. Thanks to the blockchain technology fans can now collect their favourite players with the benefit of provable scarcity because of the fixed supply.
These cards are freely tradeable and usable in an open world of different applications and games plus they have the benefits of any blockchain asset: cannot be coppied or taken away from you. For the 2020-21 season there are three levels of scarcity for each Sorare Card: Unique, Super Rare (10 copies) and Rare (100 copies)
On top of the collectible aspect (non-fungible tokens or NFT), the value of the card is dictated by their utility in the SO5 Tournaments. These tournaments are run by Sorare two times per week, every week, and the prizes on offer are amazing.
SO5 Tournaments or Sorare 5-a-side fantasy football are the tournaments where you can assemble your team of 5 Sorare Cards and earn points depending on the performance of your players in real life football matches. You will be ranked based on the total number of points your team obtains. Good performances are rewarded with real prizes in ETH and player cards.
Before you start buying players it’s better to know more about tournaments and prizes, as each tournament has it’s own restriction and a different prize and reward structure.
