# GQ Battlegrounds

Inside the game, GQ will be used, as it could not be otherwise in the **Arena Battlegrounds**. How to access these it is very simple.  Just act as if you were to join a normal battleground and then just click on the new option that opens the door to a whole new experience in our universe!

Each player will contribute a certain amount of GQ to participate, only the top performers will earn a share of the prize. Show what you're made of!

### **How does GQ Battlegrounds work?**

GQ Battlegrounds work by allowing participants to engage in **player versus player (PvP)** battles. To enter, each participant must deposit a predetermined amount of GQ tokens. The GQ pool is formed by the collective deposits. At the end of the battleground, the top three placed players will receive a portion of the GQ pool as their reward.

### **Entering the battle**

* To enter the user must pay $3 in GQ (*Might change*).
* The **tokens must be holded in the Blink Galaxy account**, transferring them from the [dApp](https://dapp.outerringmmo.com/profile) or from [Blink Galaxy](https://blinkgalaxy.com/). The registration costs cannot be deducted directly from your wallet.
* Once a player joins the game, the reserved/blocked GQ is moved from the player’s account to a pool.

### Rewards distribution

Once all players have joined and the tournament game started, the total GQ pool is split in the following way:

* 4% comission and 2% equity: These GQs are sent to a corporative account.
* 2% GQ burning. These GQs are deleted from the database.
* 2% pull rewards. These GQs are stored in another Blink Galaxy account for special tournaments.
* 90% prize distribution, the ***Prize Pool.***
  * [x] 🥇1st place = **60%**
  * [x] 🥈2nd place = **30%**
  * [x] 🥉3rd place = **10%**

> ℹ️ In the event of a tie for any place, all players in that slot receive an equal share of that place’s prize money. If 2 or more people finish in 2nd place then no prize money is awarded to players in 3rd, and the 10% split is added to 2nd place, and split between all 2nd placed players.
