Popular streamer Ludwig is diving headfirst into the world of *Umamusume: Pretty Derby*, a gacha game centered around anthropomorphic racehorses that's been rapidly gaining traction. According to a recent report from Game Rant, Ludwig is planning a tournament for the game on July 8th, collaborating with fellow content creator Northernlion. This move highlights the growing popularity of *Umamusume* since its global release and could signal wider interest from the Web3 gaming community.
While details about the tournament format are scarce, it's likely to be a closed event featuring prominent streamers. Some fans have raised concerns about the potential advantage for players who have already heavily invested time into the game. The game's success is undeniable, previously being one of the highest-grossing mobile games in Japan.
Given the unique collectibility aspect of *Umamusume* characters and the potential for in-game asset ownership, it's interesting to see whether this trend catches the attention of the Web3 gaming community.
