No Controllers, Just Code: Animoca and AWS Launch a $50,000 AI Football League

Minds by Animoca Brands has teamed up with Amazon Web Services to launch the "AWS Agentic Football Cup – Virtual League," a revolutionary browser-based football competition where managers ditch the controller for text prompts. Kicking off its Alpha Season on September 11, the free-to-play 5v5 game allows players to coach AI agents by writing tactical playbooks in plain English. During matches, AI players independently evaluate the game state every two seconds and execute their own decisions based on your coaching instructions. With a $50,000 total prize pool on the line, the top 10 finalists will win an all-expenses-paid trip to compete live on stage at AWS re:Invent in Las Vegas this winter.
