Tags: Dreamteam Development, Game Development, Games, Esports, Blockchain

DreamTeam is excited to start the decade with the addition of a couple of new features and some major feature updates. Before we go into detail about those, which will all be covered in the next development update, we’d like to take a look at the past twelve months. 2019 was a journey that showcased the support of three new platform games, the addition of many new features, the temporary removal of a few old features, the challenge of challenges, a slight shift in our Tokenomics strategy, and much more. Come with us as we quickly summarize the 2019 evolution of DreamTeam.

Platform Games

At the beginning of 2019, DreamTeam supported two games, CS:GO and LoL. By the end of the year, the number of supported games increased to five, Apex Legends, CoD: Modern Warfare, Fotnite, CS:GO, and LoL. As DreamTeam becomes more and more game agnostic, new games will be supported at a faster and faster rate. Adding games faster is one of DreamTeam’s many goals for 2020. The faster DreamTeam can add games, the greater the impact DreamTeam will have on the gaming and esports communities.

Platform Additions

Throughout 2019, DreamTeam added feature after feature to make the platform more user-friendly. The added features are as follows:

Customizable Chat feature — allows DreamTeam to create groups and connect the chat feature with other DreamTeam features

Notification Center — keeps users up-to-date with all DreamTeam activity

DreamTeam Rating — an overall rating of a player’s skill

FACEIT and Discord integration — connects DreamTeam to other commonly used platforms

Player Profiles

By Q4 2019, it was clear that DreamTeam had to add a feature that would attract gamers no matter which games they play. To achieve this, DreamTeam created unified player profiles. The player profiles display a player’s info, gaming reputation, games, achievements, and activity. Players can also add around 55 different games to their profile and have the ability to share their thoughts on each one. This helps show a little bit of every players’ gaming background. Although still in the MVP version, the player profiles will one day be home to a player’s inner gamer and be used by gamers in a similar way business professionals use LinkedIn.

Significant CS:GO Changes

Throughout the first two quarters of 2019, DreamTeam put much focus on and used a lot of resources building, launching, and supporting numerous CS:GO features, only to have them removed from the platform altogether. Upon removal of those features, DreamTeam stated it was only temporarily, which is still true. Many users, especially CS:GO players, have begun to question whether DreamTeam understands the word temporary. We get it. And we get it. We cannot go into detail about why the features remain hidden. However, we can say that once they return, users will be quite happy.

Summary of 2019 CS:GO features:

FACEIT integration — connected FACEIT stats

DreamTeam Practice Servers — set up and hosted practice games

The Coaching Tool — helped set and reach goals

CS:GO Analytics feature — analyzed any match

The DreamTeam Journey — helped onboarding players

CS:GO Training Center — set of tasks that helped improve skills

Player Analytics Dashboard — tracked player improvements

Addition of New Games

In 2019, DreamTeam launched the support of three new platform games: Apex Legends, Fortnite, and CoD: Modern Warfare. All three games now support the following features:

Stats — check stats and follow improvements

Challenges — compete against the community to win prizes

LFG — find better players faster

Leaderboards — see who is on top in multiple categories

DreamTeam Prime and Prime Gold

In Q3, DreamTeam launched Prime and Prime Gold memberships. The DreamTeam memberships grant access to additional stats, Challenges, and LFG features.

Going Social

Another one of DreamTeam’s goals for 2020 is to add more social features. We are aware that a huge part of gaming is, well, the players you meet and the communities you become a part of. As a result, you will soon see the addition of friends and new leaderboard feature, an updated and extremely scalable new challenge feature, the DreamTeam shop, iOS and Android apps, and a few other things that will make DreamTeam the place to be for gamers and the esports community.

The DREAM Token

In 2019, the DreamTeam Token was listed on two exchanges, Liquid and Kuna. In addition to the listings, DreamTeam also updated our token strategy and released the latest version of the DreamTeam Tokenomics Paper. You can find it here. Along with the token updates, DreamTeam has developed a Delegated Transactions feature and a decentralized application. Trickle, one of the winners at the EthCapeTown hackathon, is now available. Please read about it here.
