Is Upland Racing going to be a form of eSports League? What does that mean for Upland? For its players? In my continued quest to produce long-form in-depth content about Upland, I deep dive into the nascent eSports Leagues of Upland and make some predictions about what will come next.

Episode 5 takes a deep dive into the EOS Blockchain and Interplanetary File System (IPFS) to see what makes it work for Upland and what is coming down the line. I joined Block.one's courses to learn how to code my own node on the blockchain, culminating in the (temporary) creation of the Andia Coin. 10 Billion ANDIAs existed for about 45 minutes, but are now gone.

Episode 7 of the Real Deal (an Upland-related show hosted by Andia2) deep dives into the future of Morningside Park (Inglewood, CA). I propose reimagining MP as a form of micro-city in the metaverse, where artists, entrepreneurs, and Upland enthusiasts come together to create value. With governance coming directly to the game, the resulting MP DAGG (DAO + Gaming Guild) can drive value for all community members. Our sponsor, MJC Sports NFTs (the premier NFLPA legit metaventure on the West Coast) gives away a 1-of-1 Memento with fire stat at the end of the episode.
The discussion:
- highlights how voting on the Upland blockchain to shape a unique future for MP micro-city
- showcasing our standard build model plus new innovations like Mansion Row and a potential business zone for the city.
- creating User Generated Architecture to better represent local styles, solve for small plots, and add a unique look to larger ones.
- MP's upcoming racing team is being formed with four racetracks coming to Morningside (3 planned, and 1 to be determined by the community itself through its building activity before September 1st)
- layering services including games on top of our micro-city
- our micro-city will have its own NFTs that provide special access to services and events in MP micro-city
NB: This week's special Spark giveaway is recorded separately because of a technical malfunction with the Wheel of Names.

My thoughts on Rio de Janiero:
The main streets of Centro (stress test) are Avenida Presidente Vargas and Avenida Rio Branco. Otherwise, buy near where you want to mint in the full release.
37k Non-FSA will mint out 90% in 2 days with Centro almost completely gone. If there is anything left, I will wait in Rio for Collection Reveal to snap up unminted collection properties.
The Samba Partnership will not come into full expression immediately, so I am waiting in Rio even after the free flights end (Wednesday) to see what special tours and events are happening in Rio.
The Starter City (Cidada de Deus) is one of my dark horse tips for a node in Rio, as it will be heavily Portuguese community who will build together.
Check in for other potential nodes after Collection release because Players typically don't build nodes in collection areas.

Rio Tips:
1/ If you miss the 48 hours of free flights, then NYC is the cheapest ticket back home.
2/ Mint "wiggly streets" in places like Santa Teresa and Botafogo.
3/ Once property boundaries are released, check which neighborhoods have the most labelled properties, as those will be potential collection areas.
4/ If you are minting in a neighborhood, go for the main or famous streets to have a double chance of a collection.
5/ Ask a Portuguese player if you want help with Rio.

Episode 5 details the strengths and weaknesses of Ethereum and EOS as blockchains. I breakdown some of the primary features of EOS Mainnet and some of the features that might emerge from recent and upcoming upgrades to EOS in the next three months. Some regularly requested features may be in the works, as EOS seeks to solve for cross-chain collaborations, for social recovery of accounts (which may be extended to named beneficiaries), and a faster, more efficient chain.
