Project Details

A mid-tier Asian eSports organizer managing tournaments for titles like Valorant, Dota 2, and BGMI needed a centralized platform to handle registrations, scheduling, leaderboards, and live streaming integration. They previously relied on Google Sheets, Discord bots, and manual scoring, leading to delays, errors, and limited scalability. Our goal: build an end-to-end eSports management platform enabling organizers to handle multiple leagues, real-time scoring, and audience engagement from a single dashboard.

Scoping Out the Project

The goal was to deliver a modular, end-to-end eSports platform. The client aimed to:

  • Automate registrations and scheduling with email/Discord alerts.
  • Enable real-time scoring and dynamic leaderboards.
  • Integrate Twitch/YouTube streams with sponsor overlays.
  • Use AI scheduling to avoid time-zone conflicts.
