Blockchain gaming fans are in for a treat as ZED Champions teams up with Fantasy Top for a one-of-a-kind tournament that blends competitive gameplay with social media engagement. Starting Monday, August 18, players can compete for a share of $15,000 in $ZED tokens — not just by playing, but by creating content on X (formerly Twitter).
This fresh take on competitive events puts SocialFi front and center, making it as much about your community presence as your in-game skill.
A Tournament With Two Paths to Victory
This “mindshare tournament” is designed to reward both strategic play and social impact. The prize pool is split into two key parts:
$10,000 in $ZED tokens for the top five players across Fantasy Top’s Elite, Gold, Silver, and Bronze leagues.
$5,000 in Clout Boost rewards for participants who engage with ZED Champions on X by posting relevant, high-quality content.
While the spotlight is on ZED Champions, the action takes place entirely inside Fantasy Top, so you won’t need to race or breed horses to participate. However, having access to ZED Champions gameplay can help when creating meaningful, engaging content.
How the Mindshare Tournament Works
At its core, the event follows Fantasy Top’s regular competitive format. Players:
Build decks of Heroes.
Level them up through consistent play.
Compete across four league tiers.
League rankings determine the base share of the $10,000 prize pool.
But that’s just one side of the equation. Alongside gameplay, players can boost their earnings by posting about ZED Champions on X, tagging @zed_champions. Each post earns Clout, which represents your influence and engagement. The higher your Clout score, the bigger your share of rewards.
A live leaderboard will track both league placement and Clout status, giving participants the chance to adjust their strategies in real time.
Why This Partnership Stands Out
This is the first collaboration between ZED Champions and Fantasy Top, and it introduces a hybrid competition format that rewards creativity as much as gameplay skill.
It’s an exciting shift for fans of blockchain games, because:
It’s accessible — no need to own or race a horse to win.
It’s versatile — players can focus on competition, content creation, or both.
It’s engaging — social media presence directly influences your standing.
The Clout system essentially transforms your X account into part of your game loadout, where posting consistently, staying on-topic, and delivering quality content can give you a competitive edge.
What Is ZED Champions?
For newcomers, ZED Champions is a blockchain-based horse racing game from Virtually Human Studio, the team behind ZED RUN. But unlike its predecessor, it leans toward a strategic, automated racing system rather than pure speculation.
Key gameplay elements include:
Structured Racing Pool – Limited to 4,320 horses, ensuring a competitive ecosystem.
Dynamic $ZED Balances – A horse’s internal token balance changes with breeding costs and race results.
Skill-Based Matchmaking – Horses are matched by performance for fair competition.
Performance Augments – Boosts tailored for specific race conditions.
Built on Base Network – Low fees and fast transactions.
In races, each horse stakes up to 10% of its $ZED balance. Winning boosts both your tokens and your ranking, while poor performance can lead to forced retirement.
Quick Start Guide to ZED Champions
Even though owning a horse isn’t required for the tournament, diving into ZED Champions can make your social content more authentic — and potentially more Clout-worthy. Here’s how to get started:
Name Your Stable – Pick something memorable; it’s your in-game brand.
Fund Your Wallet – Add $ZED to participate in auctions or make purchases.
Stake a Horse – Back a horse in the Racing Pool to earn a share of its retirement balance.
Own a Racehorse – Breed one via Stud Auction or buy directly from the Marketplace.
Pro tip: Gameplay clips, racing highlights, and breeding updates make great Clout-generating posts during the tournament.
Why Social Media Matters This Time
In traditional gaming tournaments, your success hinges solely on in-game performance. But here, your social media engagement can be just as important.
To maximize Clout Boost rewards:
Post consistently throughout the tournament.
Use @zed_champions and relevant hashtags.
Focus on clear, relevant, and high-quality content.
Mix formats — screenshots, videos, race recaps, and strategy tips.
With $5,000 in $ZED tokens dedicated to Clout alone, content creators have a genuine path to victory.
Final Thoughts
The ZED Champions x Fantasy Top Mindshare Tournament represents a fresh chapter in competitive blockchain gaming. By blending SocialFi mechanics with high-level competition, it rewards both strategic gameplay and community influence.
The event kicks off August 18 inside Fantasy Top, but to claim your share of rewards, you’ll need a ZED Champions account. Whether you’re a strategist, a content creator, or a bit of both, this tournament offers multiple ways to win — and $15,000 worth of reasons to get involved.
