Among the co-founders and investors of Fantazzie, a game based on the fact that users collect points according to the performance of the players in the teams they establish every week; Sporttz, NewGen Agency, WePlay Ventures, Maçkolik, Alpaslan Ensari, Turgay Ozaner, Tufan Deriner, Barış Hocaoğlu, Yiğit Arslan, Acun Ilıcalı and İsmail Oygur.
Speaking at the introductory meeting, Fantazzie Oyun Teknolojileri AŞ General Manager Özgür Gündoğan gave detailed information about Fantazzi:
“Following the decision of Sporttz Spor Yatırımları AŞ, which was established under the leadership of Istanbul Portföy and makes investments in sports and media, to enter the gaming sector, Fantazzie Oyun Teknolojileri AŞ came to life in the first half of 2022 with the participation of important investors in the sector as founders in this project. Our game idea was formed at this point. Those who experience a match are in a wide range, from those who only know the result of the match to experiencing the excitement of this match all week.
Those of us who want to expand the sports industry want this spectrum to grow and for those in this spectrum to feel this experience more intensely as much as possible. We want them not to learn the match score, to watch the match, to watch the programs afterwards, to go to the match if possible, to support their teams by buying jerseys, and to live this experience much more intensely by dealing with the match news in the pre-match days, only in this way can we grow the sector and create a sustainable strong sports economy.
By developing this experience with the fantasy football game, or rather by gamifying a significant part of the experience, we can ensure that sports fans are more engaged in the match experience. Sports fans who play this game will follow both players and teams more closely. Ultimately, in this game, players talk about their football knowledge, the more information means the more success. Therefore, we set out on this path with the idea that “a successful fantasy football game will contribute significantly to the sports sector in Turkey”.
We have designed our game especially considering the conditions that are likely to occur today and in the near future. Instead of a game that includes a season, we made sure it was a game that started and ended in just one match week. We’ve created a fantasy football game that starts all over again every Monday and concludes every Sunday or Monday evening. We have not neglected to add features that differentiate this game and make it more enjoyable for those who play. For example, when creating a team in classic games, we ensure that a user can create up to 3 teams. Thus, those who want to establish surprise or alternative staff will be able to do so easily. In addition, we have created boosters to make squad engineering more fine, for example, when you add the goal booster to a footballer, we have created a mechanism that will only increase goal points.One of the things we paid the most attention to was that the points flowed live and the rankings changed dynamically. Seeing your team’s score updated live as the matches are played, and following its place in the rankings live, I am sure it will give the players great pleasure.
Apart from a league where there is only an overall ranking, that is, all users are ranked in a single list, we also create separate leagues. We’ll have a Friends League where you compete with friends or followers, a Division League where you skip (or fall) a league every week, a Clans League where you compete collectively with your points, and a Supporters’ League where only fans who are committed to the same team will compete. By forming a single team, you will be competing in all these leagues separately. Our goal is to reach large masses by adding different usage features to the same game.
Apart from match days, we will have a Trivia game where you will have a fun time and have the chance to win FanGold. With over a hundred thousand football questions, I think he has broken the world record now. With the wheel of fortune, the chance to win a gift every day will also be offered to game lovers. All these features will be added from this week until the World Cup break, and the first version of the game will be completed.
Of course, we will not stay here, in fact this will be another launch topic, a live fantasy football game that will be played live over a single match will soon come to life. We will launch this game based abroad and put it into the global gaming market.”
Machlic League
Speaking after Özgür Gündoğan’s speech, Istanbul Portfolio Managing Partner Alpaslan Ensari and Maçkolik CEO Emre Uğurlu Fantazzie announced that the main sponsor of the game would be “Maçkolik”. The main game in the application will be available to game lovers under the name of “Macholic League” from this week.
Three Team Building Opportunities
In Fantazzie, which is a candidate to enter the Guinness Book of Records with its 100,000-question Trivia game, football fans will earn Fangold as they answer the questions and will be able to buy boosters that will contribute to team engineering in the game with the Fangolds they earn.
The opportunity to form three teams in the same week and increase the budgets of the teams they have established will increase the chances of users to win. All competitors will take their place in the rankings with the teams that get the most points among the teams they have established. Among the users who get the same score, the one who builds his team early will stand out.
In addition to additional team building and budget boosting boosters, users will also be able to apply boosters to players they have chosen to increase their team’s fantasy points, and share the race to the top by doubling the points earned by players on a statistical basis.
Equal Chances of Winning Every Week
In the game, which offers the chance to win every week, not at the end of the season, a Samsung xxx model phone will be gifted to the user who has earned the most points. The grand prize at the end of the season will be xxx. Players will be able to see where they are in the rankings at any time. As they level up in the game, they will earn ‘badges’. In the coming weeks, new features will be unlocked in the game.
Fantazzie, which plans to launch content beyond the Turkish Super League in a very short time and to be among the important actors of the global market, also offers opportunities for foreign investors.
