You are an organizer, and would like us to showcase one of your upcoming tournaments? Feel free to contact us on Twitter or Facebook, and come advertise it yourself on our Discord Server!

This week, we meet with Area52, Toornament Partners who are getting close to having a 4-digits number of tournaments on the platform!

To start, please introduce yourself and your project

Our organization is called “Area52”. We are an Austrian eSports and Gaming Lounge based in Vienna. Each weekend dozens of kids and young adults visit our facility and spend their day playing games with friends and attending competitions. Each weekend we host several tournaments, some of them are small and community-based and some of them are big international qualifiers.
Our daily business is eSports and Gaming – and we love it!

How did you discover Toornament?

We tried several tournament platforms but sticked to Toornament.com after a while. For us this tool provides a lot of flexibility and a lot of features. We never host tournaments without it now.

What feature(s) do you like the most on Toornament?

Hard question. For 80 % of our tournaments we just need basic features (add competitors, define structure and validate results). But for the other 20 % we enjoy using the full range: Toornament TV, Online Signup, different Tournament stages, ….

Anything you want to add?

Together with our national eSports federation we started a course / training for online eSports referees. This course provides basic knowledge for future tournament admins. Attendees can sign up for free and receive a certificate afterwards. We are happy to feature Toornament there!

We want to thank our partners from Area52 for the time taken to answer our questions, and can’t wait to see what other amazing tournaments they have in store!

As teased in our Partner Program, it is time to start shining light on our Partner Organizers with this new article series “Meet the Partner”.

First in line is Naim, a Moroccan organizer passionate about flight combat simulation, that created and manages a great community dedicated to his favorite games, because we believe, just like he does, that there’s more to esports than just MOBA, Card Games and FPS!

To start, please introduce yourself and your project

My name is Naim Bouyahya, 40 years of age from Morocco. I have been stoked about military jets and the art of air combat for as long as I can remember. When I stumbled upon my first simulator, it was an instant buy. A few years later, I decided to launch my website (SA-SIM.COM) to organize online PvP competitions for the acclaimed Digital Combat Simulator (DCS).
I’m an avid competitor and truly passionate about e-sports so I wanted to contribute to introducing DCS to a wider audience. I really believe it holds tremendous potential to be as successful as current mainstream titles such as Battle Grounds and Overwatch.

How did you discover Toornament?

I tried many brackets providers and had not been really satisfied until I came across Toornament, which intuitive interface and handy features make it stand out from the competition.
Discovering Toornament was through watching events on Twitch where I noticed it being used in many major professional leagues.

What feature(s) do you like the most on Toornament?

All the feature are great, really. It’s straightforward to set up a tourney and all the widgets make it very easy to share the brackets wherever needed. It also looks neat as you can add country flags, team logos…etc – tiny details like that are really important to those who want their tournaments to have that extra touch and professional feel.
Check one of their tournaments!

Anything you want to add?

I hope Toornament will feature DCS one day, I’m a big believer in e-sports and quality games like DCS deserve to be in the spotlight.

We want to thank Naim for the time he has taken to answer our questions, and have the pleasure to announce that DCS will very soon be a discipline available on Toornament!
