Professional esports leader TSM and competitive gaming app Blitz will leverage Avalanche’s industry leading blockchain technology.

LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–TSM, the global esports, video game, and creator-focused company, and Blitz, the company’s competitive gaming platform, will be leveraging Avalanche, the cutting-edge blockchain platform, to revolutionize the gaming industry.
