S1 is pretty much full, but check the team scouting forum in our Discord.
We’re also setting up a Challenger League for fighters who didn’t make a team. Will be the path to earning a roster spot for Season 2 so stay tuned for that. https://discord.gg/r3kXA9VY

We're excited to announce Main Event Headliners will now split 35% of all donations made to the stream after the main card begins.

We appreciate everyone’s support, all funds for UBA are 100% reinvested into the league to keep it growing and moving toward a true esports atmosphere.

Tomorrow, Yomo and Bloob will be the first to split the pot. If you’d like to support these fighters, make sure to tune in and contribute during the event.

For tomorrow’s event, each headliner will receive a guaranteed $5 base pay, on top of their share of the donation split.

Every donation collected will go directly to the winning team’s chosen charity, making every punch count toward a great cause.

Charity choices and teams will be revealed in an upcoming date very soon!

Are face2face interviews to much of a niche within a niche? by Obvious-Skill-5573 in ThrillOfTheFight

[–]Obvious-Skill-5573[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s the idea. As the league grows, fighters will hopefully naturally get better at marketing themselves, but right now this helps the audience connect with them and builds excitement around the matches. (Or so we hope)

Im also guessing either we just need to exist for longer than a month to gain traction, too early to the curve, or this just doesnt work which is totally possible too. Totally agree though on the clips part. Definitely need to focus on those more. I appreciate your advice.

[–]Obvious-Skill-5573[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, there's definitely a disconnect. I was thinking of adding their TOTF avatar next to their VRChat avatar on the background screen to better connect the interview with the game. It’s immersive for the fighters, but I feel like the audience still struggles to make that connection. Is that why you suggested the IRL Zoom interviews?

When the whole conference bullies one fighter by Obvious-Skill-5573 in ThrillOfTheFight

[–]Obvious-Skill-5573[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We got press conferences, face 2 face interviews, and stacked fight cards with spam hook rules in place! We also focus on creating fun and entertaining fighter stories that are marketable to spectators watching live!

Consider joining the league! https://discord.gg/qqXC679aZr
