Reading Time: 2 minutes

The collaboration will be kicked off by an auction of five super rare Anomaly NFTs on October 23, followed by a general sale of mystery boxes with NFTs on the new Traden.pro platform starting on Oct 26, 2021.

Opera, the personal browser of choice for hundreds of millions of people and the creator of the world’s first web browser with web3 support, through its subsidiary Blueboard Limited, is launching a collaboration with Anomaly, a famous CS:GO streamer with a global audience of Counter Strike: Global Offensive fans. The initiative features the minting of a set of unique Anomaly NFTs and will be kicked off with an auction of five super rare Anomaly NFTs. They will be auctioned off using WETH on the Polygon network.

This move is one that connects Opera’s efforts within the blockchain and gaming space. With Opera Gaming, the browser company has developed Opera GX, a web browser dedicated to gamers, as well as GameMaker Studio 2, a free-to-use engine for game creation. Blueboard’s NFT initiative is offered as an enjoyable means with which to engage with the digital assets created in collaboration with your favorite streamers, starting with Anomaly. It also presents a new way of interacting between influencers and their fans.

The integration of gaming and blockchain continues to grow. With the creation of a set of unique gamer and influencer-centric NFTs, Blueboard wants to explore increased scalability and lower transaction pricing, using the Polygon blockchain to offer an easy entry point for gamers who are new to NFTs.

The initial auction of the five rare NFTs will be followed by a sale of “Anomaly Cassettes”, mystery boxes including more NFTs. The Opera x Anomaly NFTs are a set of ERC-1155 tokens accompanied by stunning visuals. Users will be able to buy the “Anomaly Cassette”, a surprise box with a given NFT priced at an affordable USD 9.90. Following the purchase of the Cassette, the buyer will find out which video NFT they got. Hidden in the Cassettes are one of the five NFTs: “The Anomaly”, “Endless Loop”, “Troll Machine”, “The A Fuel” and “Take My Mask”. Among the Cassettes will also be nine, individually marked super rare NFT’s from each of the five designs. After purchase using FIAT or WETH, the NFTs will be stored on Traden.pro, Opera’s NFT marketplace.

Combinations of Opera x Anomaly NFTs will also grant additional privileges to Anomaly’s fans. Depending on the combination of NFTs acquired, users may be allowed to join a private club with Anomaly on Discord, play CS:Go with him or receive a personalized gift. The NFT can be updated and the interactions with Anomaly recorded by the blockchain.

Vladimir Nikolsky, co-founder and current Chief Executive Officer, has stepped down from his CEO role, transitioning his responsibilities to a new successor.

“A year ago, we completed a deal that significantly changed the course of the company and brought it to new heights. Despite the challenges, not only did MY.GAMES meet all the business goals of the first year after the deal, but also expanded its global footprint and has continued to delight players around the world with new immersive gaming experiences. And now, having fulfilled all the exit commitments set out a year ago, I am handing over the helm to a new captain. I’m glad to introduce Elena as the new CEO in accordance with the succession plans agreed with our shareholder when we embarked upon the company’s business restructuring. Her exceptional qualities, which encompass her management skills, deep experience in international business, strong strategic vision, creativity, and inspirational leadership make her the perfect fit for this role,” said Vladimir Nikolsky.

Elena Grigorian has been an integral part of MY.GAMES since its inception, first serving as Chief Marketing Officer. With over two decades of experience in the gaming industry, including eight years in a top position at Disney’s video games unit, Elena is widely recognized as an expert in marketing and strategic management. Under Elena’s leadership, MY.GAMES has achieved remarkable milestones. She assembled a marketing team, which was instrumental in realizing the full potential of more than 70 of the company’s games, leading to a staggering 14-fold increase in effective marketing investments and a fourfold growth in the company’s business. Elena has overseen the strategy, investments, and marketing segments within MY.GAMES and played a pivotal role in developing positioning strategies and communications to promote gaming projects in key markets, including Europe, Asia, and the United States.

Elena Grigorian, the newly appointed CEO, commented on her new role: “I am thrilled to step into my new role as CEO of MY.GAMES. Over the past year, our company has set out on a remarkable journey, marked by the opening of new offices and markets, the launch of innovative products, the execution of large-scale campaigns, and the establishment of significant partnerships. Our commitment to growth remains unwavering, and we have a host of exciting titles and announcements in store for the future. Looking ahead, 2024 is poised to be an even more monumental year for us.”

Throughout the past year and following the shareholder change and business restructuring, MY.GAMES expanded its presence by opening new offices and hubs in the UAE, Serbia, Georgia, and Armenia. The company unveiled exciting titles, including War Robots: Frontiers (early access), Little Big Robots, and HAWKED (open beta), among other captivating mobile games.
