In the world of blockchain games, more than 40% of the champion prize pool of each season quietly flows into YGG's pockets. They are not the top players in the game, but they are the 'behind-the-scenes coaching team' who understand the rules best and are the most skilled at planning, using precise strategies and vast resources to lock in victory in advance.
The competition of the season began six months before it started. YGG's intelligence SubDAO will form a professional team to repeatedly deconstruct and analyze the new game's code, digging for the optimal NFT combinations, hidden economic loopholes, and the distribution logic of seasonal rewards like detectives. Subsequently, the treasury will decisively open positions based on the analysis results, massively accumulating core NFT assets of the game; once the voting by the stakers passes, thousands of scholarship players will be dispatched to the game like well-trained mercenaries, crazily gathering data and impacting the leaderboard.
In the middle of the season, YGG often monopolizes most of the top 100 positions on the game leaderboard. At this point, the season's prize pool will be automatically distributed by the system to several wallets controlled by YGG. According to the agreement, players participating in score boosting will receive 70% of the prize distribution, while YGG will take a 30% management fee. However, this is not YGG's main source of profit—the real gains lie in the appreciation of NFTs: after the season ends, those cards and equipment that have been 'worn out' by players will be repurchased by the treasury at a reasonable price, and after being sorted, will be rented out to new players in the next season, creating a perpetual rental cash flow. In one extreme case, YGG secured 87% of the top rewards in the first season of a new game, and outsiders accused them of 'disrupting game balance', but on-chain data ruthlessly proved: they simply played the game rules to the extreme.
Today, an unwritten convention has formed in the industry: before a new chain game goes live, the first thing developers do is not to rush to promote it, but to privately message YGG, cautiously asking, 'How much do you plan to take this season?' Because they know well that YGG holds a vast amount of NFT assets, a large player base, and precise strategic layouts. If they do not gain YGG's recognition, it will be difficult for the game to gain sufficient liquidity and attention, and it may not even survive three months. YGG has long become the invisible operator of the chain game season.
