Very well known contributors of steemit!

It is based on steemit's underlying technology (graphene)
That's an interesting project for sure, thanks for sharing the links. It's great to see that there's so much crowd-support for innovation like this, and I wish them the best of luck. eSports was never my cup of tea, but I might know some people who would be interested in the project.
I didn't look too deeply into the mechanics, so I may be speaking out of turn, but I think the elegance of Steem lies in not having to buy in to "play." Without those mechanics, you have the same challenges as a tipping platform; not everyone wants to buy in and risk/spend their real money. Not that it isn't a great solution for the competitive scene, but that's its limited in scale because of that hesitance.
Again, this is from a cursory review, so I may be way off base. :)
