FAQ

What regions does Sparkball support?

Sparkball has servers located in NA West, NA East, Europe, LATAM, and Southeast Asia. Matchmaking is both skill-based and regional-based so most matches you play should take place to your closest region.

Note, Sparkball plays relatively well on 200+ ping so even if you are far from these spots, don't give up! In fact, the player who is widely considered the top Sparkball Athlete right now plays on 180 ping!

In terms of localization and text, the game will only officially be available in English (for now! More languages coming soon!). We will make best effort to provide translation guides and resources for non-English speakers and we'd love your help creating and providing those to your community.

What are the minimum requirements to run Sparkball?

Sparkball is currently PC only and requires a download through Steam to play.

While Sparkball does not require a heavy gaming PC to run, your PC/Laptop must have at least a dedicated graphics card equal or greater than a GTX970.

I don't have a PC to play Sparkball, can I still participate?

Yes! Sparkadia is made up of more than just Sparkball athletes!

We host multiple events that dive into all things Sparkball - including Superstar design sessions, Art streams, Vibe Game Nights, and coming soon - Fantasy Sparkball .

Will there be bots available to play against?

Yes! Finally!

While they aren't going pro anytime soon, you can add bots via hosting your own custom game. We recommend them exclusively for 2v2 to practice your mechanics!

How are you handling bots/AFKers/toxicity?

We have one simple rule - Never ruin another player's gameplay experience or make them waste time for your own gain.

Competitive games have a tendency sometimes to bring out the worst in us. We all have bad games, tempers flare, disappointment is immeasurable, and days can be ruined.

But Sparkball can and should be different. You are always one play away from turning the tide of a match and with such short matches, there's never a reason to quit. We are all human beings, remember to be kind and be OPTI! Don't believe us?! Check out the famed Sylphy vs Synergy match from our Paladins DAO tournament where Sylphy was down 16 to 2 in KOs in Round One yet never gave up! (When all else fails - There's also a manual report system at the end of the match where repeat offenders will be dealt with via the full force of Sparkadian Law Enforcement!)

Is Sparkball a Web3 Game?

No. There are zero NFT or blockchain components in Sparkball.

However our future plans for Sparkadia do include minor Web3 integrations. You can think about this where Sparkball is the activity of playing soccer; Sparkadia is watching, wagering, creating leagues, forming teams, monetizing, and more for soccer. This includes features like like:

• Player Rewards - Users will receive a share of the value they create within our ecosystem

• Expanding Fantasy Sparkball - Wagering and 'Ultimate Team'-style modes

• Economic Metagame - A compelling crafting and resource management loop geared around who you are and what you do in Sparkadia.

This separation between Sparkball and Sparkadia allows us to focus Sparkball entirely on Player retention (aka a ton more free content), while Sparkadia owns the more necessary commercial aspects like monetization and keeping the lights on!
