This is big news due to both giving the new users (like me) who have wished they were playing the game, but as you mention in the scholarship part, are unable to pay the big amount to start playing, but also to give the dedicated community a solid platform to blog on and earn while sharing the game and all of HIVE's aspects with everyone else.
So count me in, going to subscribe and hope to someday get into the scholarship program and join the Axie Infinity fun!
Glad you like the concept.
We hope we'll be able to get you a team to play with in the coming weeks.
Have your eyes peeled on our future posts not to miss out, because we feel that the competition to get into the scholarship is going to be crazy, as people have already shown a lot of interest in joining.
