For the second year in a row, we’ve powered ESWC’s famous COD tournament, making extensive use of our features and testing a few new ones. Here’s the breakdown!
1 Paid Registration
The Online Qualifiers for each region all went through our Paid Registration system to collect the participants’ fees coming from all-over the world.
2 Structure
The tournament organizers picked a “Bracket Groups + Single Elimination Playoffs” structure, and manually modified the Playoff seeding to even the rest time for all the teams.
3 Overlays
A premiere. Tapping into our API, the production crew was able to generate real-time overlays with all the results, scores and maps. The regular method is to manually check a match result and then create a graphic through Photoshop, before sending it over the screen. We all know this is a hassle which lacks reactivity and can lead to typos and errors.
These automated overlays are one of the numerous uses you can make from our API.
4 Toornament TV
The Toornament TV was the Gaming Zone welcome screen, so that every participant, journalist or admin could be up-to-date in the blink of an eye. It was also put to good use on the main stage and streams. Information is key!
5 Widgets
Most media such as Dexerto, Millenium and aAa used our widgets to display the latest results in real-time, allowing their reporters to focus on interviews, photos and analysis.
6 Mobile app
We advertised our mobile app to everyone from the audience to the players so that everyone could know everything from anywhere!
