⚔️ If you missed the action of the epic battle of the @MultiversX Team vs MvX Builders, you can rewatch the show on @YouTube! 👇 🎙️ @beniaminmincu joined to provide insights and @chessucation almost convinced him to get a tattoo of @SasuRobert's face... or something like that.

It’s time.

We're coordinating with the #MultiversX core team and we'll let you know when they're live. Thank you all!

Over the weekend, we conducted a thorough due diligence review. During this process, we received and verified information that neither we as organizers nor the MultiversX team was made aware of and issue affecting projects who were part of the profile picture selection. Due to this unexpected development involving a legal dispute between two parties, we are compelled to remove those specific entries from the PFP selection. As organizers, we take no position in the dispute and hope it will be resolved as soon as possible. This change does not intend to undermine or harm the projects' communities, nor does it reflect our own stance on any ongoing disputes between the projects involved. Our intent is solely to protect the integrity of the event, the team members, and the MultiversX community. It is not a reflection on the broader community or the other projects involved. We are very sorry for the projects affected as we know it involves some of the most active and enthusiastic community members. We understand this might elicit strong reactions, but we assure you that this action has been carefully considered. We put a lot of time and effort into creating a fun event that brings people and communities together and hope this will not diminish its overall success. We feel like the Chess Showdown was a great example of the fantastic energy we can create by focusing on positive interactions that bring value to the communities. We look forward to seeing great projects featured as the team profile pictures and are excited about the next season of the Web3Arena which will feature a new format and different stakes. We will be going live on YouTube shortly for a live redraw. We will publish the final results here right after. Thank you for your understanding and for supporting this event! @PepeVersX & @chessucation

♟️ COMMUNITY ARENA SPECIAL AWARDS 🏆 Thank you for submitting your games! Some wild battles and crazy action to go through. Here are the games and moves that stood out to us: 🧠 Best Move In a dynamic, equal-looking position, @xbam100 found the very nice move 18. ... Be6! and White was forced to resign on the next move: lichess.org/SkWcuLog#38 🤩 Best Game Although a few inaccuracies were made in this game, @cryptosky's energetic and dynamic play gave their opponent no real shot at getting back into the game after ceasing the initiative early on: lichess.org/4BqVLjAJ/black#1 🥊 Best Comeback A remarkable turnaround for Showdown Champion @kyry18's game, finding the brilliant 25. Bd5!! to force a perpetual from a dead-lost position and then capitalizing on his opponent's mistake to win the game outright: lichess.org/rLZOFMKY/white#1 😭 Worst Move In this remarkable game, @xSylla_ didn't just miss about 69 forced mate sequences in a row from move 19 onwards, but managed to first give away a free rook, only to finish the game by giving away a draw by perpetual check in a completely winning position. GG! lichess.org/5vWrXNSh#38 😹 REKT We have absolutely no clue what happened in this game between @Elpulpo_0 and @PipeMysterious but it was certainly remarkable and creative. At some point, there were five (5!) queens on the board. lichess.org/LzHMQxuA#0 🩵 BIGGEST POTENTIAL In chess, you never lose as long as you learn... or so they say. We'd have to check in with @OliurRa48786333 to verify this after losing all of his games, the last one to a beautiful checkmate! lichess.org/R7hZEfnN/black#2… Along with the trophy, you are also invited to get a private lesson in a Chess Clinic hosted by @chessucation. Let us know if we should sign you up! Thank you to everyone who played in the Community Arena and GG to all the winners! Trophies & prizes will be sent out shortly!

Join us on YouTube: youtube.com/live/lx6L3sWhwac ❓ How ❓ 1⃣ First, we'll draw 3 #MultiversX team members for the 3 winning builders that have a guaranteed PFP. 2⃣ Second, we'll draw #Builders for the remaining core team members. Good luck!

GM! We’re glad to see the @CryptoPittz were inspired to stake 10 #EGLD, even though they didn’t had to because their team won. Join us later as we’ll be hosting the NFT PFPs draw, live on stream. 🔥✊
