ZERO LATENCY CELEBRATES THREE MILLION PLAYS ACROSS THE GLOBE BY LAUNCHING FIRST-EVER WORLDWIDE VR COMPETITION
Champions of the Undead is a global competition running from August 10 – September 6. The Grand Final will take place in Las Vegas, with the winner receiving $15,000 USD in cold-blooded cash.
MELBOURNE, Australia, Aug. 9, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Zero Latency, the global leader in immersive entertainment and creator of the largest free-roam VR network in the world, is celebrating three million global plays by launching its first-ever worldwide VR competition, Champions of the Undead. The competition is being run in partnership with VIVE, that delivers on the promise of VR with game-changing technology and best-in-class content.
Champions of the Undead will be an epic battle across the Zero Latency community, where players will need to shoot zombies and score big in one of its most popular games, Undead Arena. Players can simply go to one of the 70+ Zero Latency venues worldwide, play a round of Undead Arena, and they’ll be able to compete to win. The top player from each region will be flown to Las Vegas for the Grand Final, where the highest-scoring zombie slayer will be crowned, receiving $15,000 USD prize money.
Zero Latency opened its first venue in 2015, in Melbourne, Australia. Since then, the milestone of three million plays has enabled players to explore the vastness of new worlds and destinations in the largest VR spaces available. During that time, Zero Latency has continued to innovate, bringing players new adventures to escape from the pressures of the real world, while players themselves have killed over 200 million zombies, with Champions of the Undead set to increase that tally even further.
“This is the first time in our history that we’re bringing our global community together in this exciting way, and giving back to the players that have supported us,” said Tim Ruse, CEO at Zero Latency. “We’re thrilled that we’ve now seen three million plays across the globe since we started this journey ten years ago, with people continually looking for experiences that allow them to connect with others. We can’t think of a better way to celebrate than with this competition, on a scale that we’ve never done before. We’re continuing to innovate and grow, and are looking forward to the next 3 million plays from our dedicated, passionate players worldwide.”
The Champions of the Undead competition will run from Thursday 10th August 2023 to Wednesday 6th September 2023. The Grand Final will take place on Thursday 5th October 2023 in Las Vegas. Up to 8 players can play together at a time, and players can try as many times as they want to perfect their skills and reach their best score.
The highest score from each Regional Leaderboard will be flown to Las Vegas for the Grand Final with a more challenging bespoke version of Undead Arena filled with even more zombies. The winner of this epic Grand Final will receive $15,000 USD.
Runners up will score a VIVE XR Elite worth $1,099 USD to continue exploring new possibilities at home. VIVE XR Elite is a powerful, convertible, and lightweight XR headset that conforms to you. Offering both the untethered freedom of all-in-one XR and the power of PC VR through wireless streaming.

Crypto Markets Lukewarm on Trump’s Inauguration: Bybit and Block Scholes Report
DUBAI, UAE, Jan. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, released the latest weekly crypto derivatives report in collaboration with Block Scholes, recognizing crypto markets’ subdued bullish sentiment in an almost anti-climatic turn of events after Trump’s inauguration.
The 2025 presidential inauguration triggered a wild weekend of speculation with Trump family meme coins TRUMP and MELANIA, tilting derivative markets toward a bullish shift. However, the anticipated BTC-related executive orders failed to materialize, causing implied volatility to drop although realized volatility rose. Perpetual and options markets maintained high funding rates and a persistent bullish tilt, reflecting the complex speculative environment as crypto’s sunny expectations met political uncertainty.
Key Insights:
SOL’s Spotlight Moment: Trump’s issuance of “husband and wife” coins sparked an all-time high in Solana perpetual swaps, driven by traders anticipating crypto-friendly policies. The TRUMP meme coin’s launch on Solana DEXs elevated the network’s fee generation, symbolically positioning it above Ethereum competitors.
Derivatives Market Resilience: Perpetual swap funding rates remained neutral-to-bullish despite minimal crypto-positive inauguration announcements, with open interest showing stable positions. Derivatives markets viewed the event as just one of many potential catalyst opportunities.
BTC Options Speculation: Earlier anticipation of a potential strategic BTC reserve triggered significant short-tenor options positioning, resulting in robust call buying and the strongest at-the-money term structure inversion since the November 2024 election. While front-end volatility pricing has moderated, the strong skew toward out-of-the-money calls persists.
Access the full report, including detailed analysis of volatility trends, funding rates, and options market dynamics.
