The Sui Smackdown has officially kicked off in Panzerdogs, giving players two weeks to battle it out for a share of the $200,000 prize pool. With the action already underway, now’s the perfect time to jump in.
What’s the Sui Smackdown All About?
Sui Smackdown is a community-focused event designed to unite gamers and DeFi fans under one exciting tournament. Hosted in Panzerdogs, a popular PvP tank brawler game, the event brings together 11 projects from the Sui Network to compete for glory. Players earn points for their chosen team while climbing individual leaderboards for personal rewards. This means you’re not just battling for your crew—you’re also in it for yourself.
The stakes? A prize pool of $200K. The community leaderboard determines how $100K gets split among the top three teams, with $50K for the first-place team, $35K for the second, and $15K for the third. The remaining $100K is reserved for individual players ranked #1 to #1,000, with the top spot bagging $10K.
Key Dates and Gameplay Mechanics
The Sui Smackdown runs from November 20th to December 4th, with two rest days—November 25th and December 2nd—where no points can be earned. The tournament’s daily reset happens at 15:00 UTC, so you’ve got up to 20 matches each day to score points. Want to play more? Owning your team’s NFT or completing social quests gets you an extra five matches daily. Equip your team’s dNFT jersey, and you’ll earn double points for every game.
Panzerdogs is free to enter, and you can play across all devices (PC, mobile) and game modes. To compete, you’ll need to link your Sui Wallet to your Panzerdogs account. From there, the Smackdown menu lets you vote for your favorite team, track your progress, and keep tabs on your bonuses.
