The weak have lost. The wise have fled. The champions remain. The world has a new religion, with its own deities: the live-streamers. Today’s internet celebrities have a hundred times as many followers as most historical pantheons, and the heroes of this new religion do battle in their own arena: online gaming.

Unicorn Games, infamous inventor of such now-banned titles as “Dueling Death Cards,” “Kaiju Collector,” and “Monetized Apocalypse,” has done it again: this summer’s hottest new trend is Deadly Dice Battles. Part collectible card game, part digital board game, part phone app, it’s taking the world by force, and has become a truly global phenomenon.

The Universe Cup will be history’s most expensive tournament, live-streamed across the whole world at once, with almost $300 million in prizes. In what is predicted to be the most-watched event of the year, new heroes and gods will be created… or defeated. These days, gaming isn’t just about having fun: it’s a battle for the hearts and minds, the praise and worship, of a whole generation.

And oh, do you have plans.
