Super Champs is one of the leading games on the Base network. The project has raised $14 million in funding from major funds such as Coinbase Ventures, Animoca Brands, Solana Venture… Currently, Super Champs is launching the Play & Earn Season 1 program, making this an excellent opportunity for you to participate, experience, and receive airdrops!
- What is Super Champs? Super Champs is a game and animation ecosystem set primarily in Super Champs, an academy where young athletes come together for training. Here, athletes hone their skills, study, and compete in various sports with the ultimate goal of becoming the best athlete.
Super Champs currently features two main games on the Mobile version for you to join: Racket Rampage and Bullet League. Additionally, they are promoting the Super Champs brand through videos on TikTok and are planning to release a comic series soon.
2. Development Team
Super Champs is developed by Joyride Games – a company specializing in mobile game development, led by veteran members with over 10 years of experience from major Web2 game companies:
- Omar Siddiqui (Founder): He was a Studio Manager at Disney and the Founder/CEO at Kiwi – the main studio for Playdom, a game production company acquired by Disney for $763 million.
- Michael Waite (Creative): He was a Senior Creative Director at Electronic Arts and Zynga – two U.S.-based video game companies.
- Maysam Sadeghi (Game Operations): He was the Chief Operating Officer at RockYou and oversaw more than 30 games with 100 million monthly active players, along with a team of over 230 global employees.
3. Investors & Partners
Joyride Games, the company behind the Super Champs game ecosystem, has raised $14 million in a Seed round with participation from renowned funds such as Coinbase Ventures, Animoca Brands, Solana Ventures, Dapper, BitKraft, and Mirana Ventures.
Many major funds have participated, and the project has only raised funds in a single round so far. In the future, they can fully raise more funds to expand the ecosystem.
This is feasible because the Super Champs ecosystem is not limited to mobile games; they have ambitions to promote the Super Champ brand through comics and physical toys. Therefore, we can expect a large airdrop to help build the community.
4. What are the products of Super Champs?
Currently, the Super Champs ecosystem includes two games where you can look for opportunities to hunt for airdrops.
4.1 Bullet League
iOS
Android
Bullet League is the flagship game of the Super Champs ecosystem, a Battle Royale genre game where multiple players fight, and the last one standing wins. The game has relatively simple gameplay: you need to fight and move into the safe zone, avoiding the red zone as it shrinks. Some features to note:
- The arrow icon helps your character jump, and you can press it twice to jump higher.
- Below the character, the number of bullets available for the gun in one shot is displayed. Depending on the gun, the number of bullets per shot will vary. When you run out of bullets, you need to tap the gun in one of the three slots below to reload. The bullets in each gun slot represent the number of bullets you can shoot. When you run out of bullets, you need to find the same type of gun to reload or pick up a new gun.
- To switch guns, tap the individual gun in the square slots below to change.
When competing, you will have 3 slots corresponding to the weapons or support items you can carry. You will have the following options:
- All 3 slots contain guns.
- Carry 2 guns and 1 slot for healing items.
- Carry 2 guns and 1 slot for grenades.
The choice depends on your personal play style. Personally, I don’t like using grenades, so I always use 2 guns and 1 slot for healing items.
In various areas on the map, you will see many places with purple diamond ore. Standing on these areas will allow you to mine them, and they will be displayed in the fourth slot (purple).
When used, diamond ore will give you bulletproof walls that you or your opponents will need a lot of time to destroy. How you use them depends on your skills as a player.
When you win, you will receive rewards such as Gold (used to upgrade weapons), Points to complete mission milestones, etc.
Each weapon has 3 levels to upgrade. To upgrade, you need:
- Gold (earned from missions)
- Materials (earned from missions)
There are many game modes for you to choose from:
- Solo: The Solo mode will have daily updates for you to choose from.
- Squad: A team of 3 players will compete against other teams.
- Special Event: Players need an NFT to participate.
- Friend Brawl: Play with friends by creating a room.
4.2 Racket Rampage
Android
iOS
Racket Rampage is the first game in the Super Champs ecosystem, set in a tennis match where you will compete 1 vs 1 with another player.
When you download the game, you will be given detailed instructions on how to play as well as introductory matches at the beginner level to familiarize yourself with the game.
A tennis match will be played in turns. When you win a round, you will earn 1 point, and the first player to reach 5 points wins the match. When you win, you will receive experience points and in-game currency.
Experience points help your character level up, increasing their performance stats. The in-game currency can be used for activities such as upgrading your character.
4.3 NFT Super Champ
The project also features a collection of NFTs named Genesis Racket Rampage with a total supply of 3,333 NFTs, each with unique characteristics and varying rarity, including play styles, tennis rackets, and visual designs.
These NFTs play a core role in the Super Champs ecosystem and provide significant benefits to holders, such as opportunities to receive CHAMP token airdrops and participate in other community programs.
The floor price of the NFTs is around 0.12 ETH, equivalent to 420 USD at the time of writing (July 2), which is quite high. The price of the NFTs has already tripled from its lowest point, so careful consideration is needed before making a purchase decision.
5. How to Hunt for Super Champs Airdrops
5.1 Preparations Before Participating in Airdrop Hunting
Currently, the project has launched the Season 1 airdrop hunting campaign on June 25th. Game projects typically offer generous rewards to users in Season 1 to attract more players for subsequent seasons, so make sure to participate as the event only lasts for 6-8 weeks.
You will participate in completing tasks on the project platform to hunt for Points. These points will be converted into CHAMP tokens when the campaign ends.
Step 2: Connect your Metamask wallet to create an account, then enter your Gmail to verify the account. Gmail will be used as the login account for the two games mentioned above, serving the purpose of airdrop hunting.
5.2 Instructions for Participating in Super Champs Airdrop Hunting
On the homepage of Super Champs, there are 4 types of quests to earn points:
- Kickoff Quest: These are familiar interaction tasks such as Like, Follow, Retweet, and logging into the two games using the Super Champ account created in section 5.1.
- Seasonal Quest: These are in-game tasks such as using a shotgun in 3 solo matches or getting 5 kills in Sniper mode. You should check the Super Champs Website for the specific requirements of each task, complete them, and earn points.
- Daily Quest: Daily tasks such as check-ins and logging into the game.
- Genesis NFT Quest: This section is for those who own the project’s NFTs. You can buy NFTs on Opensea to enjoy greater benefits than free players.
To optimize the airdrop hunting process, you should check the Super Champs Website for any tasks related to the game to develop an optimal strategy.
For example: In the Daily Quest section, there is a task to play 3 games in Genesis Arena mode to earn 200 points. The maximum points you can earn are 1000 points, equivalent to playing 15 times.
Clearly understanding the task requirements will help you optimize the points earned relative to the time spent.
6. Tokenomics
6.1 Token Information
The CHAMP token has a total supply of 1 billion and will be launched on the Base network.
6.2 Token Allocation & Token Vesting
With 30% of the tokens allocated for the community and 30% for ecosystem development, the project demonstrates a systematic approach to building:
- 30% Community: This can be used for airdrops. The larger, fairer, and more transparent the airdrop based on points, the greater the satisfaction among all users. This will create a strong community that is always ready to support the project.
- 30% Ecosystem Development: This can be used to connect with KOLs, collaborate with other projects, produce comics, physical toys, and create content to promote the image of the NFTs.

6.3 Token Use Case
The CHAMP token plays a pivotal role in the Super Champs ecosystem with three main uses:
- Purchases: CHAMP is used to buy in-game assets, items, and services related to the Super Champ ecosystem.
- Community Programs: There will be two campaigns for this purpose. It will be used as rewards for high-contributing users through the Growth Programs. Additionally, CHAMP will be used to reward loyal ecosystem participants through on-chain interactions in Metagames.
- Governance: Users holding CHAMP will participate in voting on activities related to the ecosystem.
7. Development Roadmap
- Q1/2024: Launch of two games, Racket Rampage and Bullet League, for the community.
- Q2/2024: Launch of the Community Growth Rewards Program and On-chain Metagames. Users participating in these campaigns will receive CHAMP tokens.
- Q3/2024: Launch of the CHAMP token and deployment of the game on the mainnet.
- Q4/2024: Users will receive benefits when using CHAMP tokens within the Super Champs ecosystem.
- 2025: The project will launch additional Web 3 games within the ecosystem.
As of now (July 2), the project’s development roadmap is on schedule, which is a positive sign.
In the future, we will look forward to more games from Super Champs, as well as products like comics and NFT-related content, to evaluate the effectiveness of their strategy.
