The tournament playlists have been released in beta

We have released one of our latest features in beta for all of our Toornament Organizer Partners to use: the Tournament Playlist.

You may have seen some of these new things around on the blog already, after we developed it for the Quakecon 2018, especially in the Open Community Tournaments articles.
The playlists are available as public pages or via a widget:

This new feature is a step to help our Partners promote and share their tournaments with their community easily, so no participants shall ever miss a tournament by their favorite organizer!

Let’s wake you up before September ends!

We hope this new school year has been starting well for you all! Now that things have probably settled down a bit, it is time to get back to your favorite competitions, and start winning again! So check our selection of Open Community tournaments.

Evolution of esports prize money between 2015 and 2018

3 years ago, we published on this very blog an infographics on the Esports Economy, and especially the prize moneys awarded in the tournaments of the top esports titles.
It’s time to take stock of the situation, and see where we are at regarding tournament prize moneys.
Find a new interactive infographics, with the most up-to-date data available, along data compiled from 2015:

The Toornament platform is now fully responsive

Worldwide mobile usage is on the rise, and Toornament usage is no exception to this. We have recorded a huge increase in the number of users that visit the platform from their mobile device, and as such, the subject has become a priority of ours.
Yes we do have a Mobile App, but its traffic has not seen the same increase, and has been steady for a while, and we therefore opted for an all-responsive web design.

As of today, all of Toornament features are optimized for all devices you may have (just like the Organizer Dashboard has been for a while), from your desktop computer to your mobile phone, with laptops and tablets in between, directly on the website:

responsive

This will allow us to focus on what’s really important: updating the platform, and providing the best esports experience there is. Consequently, the Toornament Mobile App will be withdrawn from the stores in the upcoming weeks.

As always, your feedback and thoughts matter to us, so let us know what you think of these new designs, and how we may improve them for you!
