Gm, and welcome to The WASD Weekly!

It was another whirlwind week in the onchain gaming.

We had several games playtest and ship new updates, including Aether Sands, Gaul, and of course, Primodium.

The past few days have also been exciting for WASD itself.

On Thursday, we completed the inaugural season of World Sky League, the first-ever onchain esports league for Sky Strife.

Congratulations to Orden on winning the championship in an epic finals matchup against Force Prime!

I’ll be breaking down what happened on Monday in Onchain Lore VIII.

If you didn’t get the chance to play, don’t worry - World Sky League will return in Sky Strife Season 0.1 (which begins January 7)!

Anyways, without further ado, here’s:
