12 Teams have been competing in one of the biggest DotA 2 tournaments of the year for 2 weeks, and it has now come to an end. First, here is the breakdown of the origin of those teams:

Invited	China Qualifier	America Qualifier	Europe Qualifier	SEA Qualifier	CIS Qualifier
		Click on an icon to see the matches from that team in the Group Stage. All matches have detailed results, statistics and replays available !

The Group Stage has been quite a fight, with 60 games played, and it is time to take a look at some statistics, all obtained via the Toornament API during the coverage of the competition, a process available to all organizers.

• 41 Minutes per game
• 47.8 Kills per game
• 49 Deaths per game
• 113 Assists per game

Even though the fights were tense, a trend in Win Rates could be seen, as seen in the Side comparison, and the extremes for teams:

Group Stage – Win Rate
	55% – 45%
	90% – 20%

OG‘s Win Rate of course reflects on their Income, as they earned around 13,2k Gold per player and per game, but they are far from the best farmers there is, ranking 6th, with the Top place going to Newbee with 1,136 Last Hits per game, which translates to a staggering 227 Last Hits per player on their team. But this had an other effect, in that Newbee was also the team with the longest duration for Won Games, with an average of 49 Minutes per game.

And before we move on to the Main Event, let’s take a look at some champion statistics:

Champion	Games played	Win Rate (>5games)	Pick/Ban Rate
	26	58%	43% / 17%
	26	58%	43% / 28%
	22	77%	37% / 10%
	19	69%	32% / 62%

Now, on to even more serious matters with the Main Event! All 12 teams qualified at the end of the Group Stage, but got seeded into the Double-Elimination Bracket depending on their results (best two teams from each group started in the Winners’ Bracket, all others in the Losers’ Bracket).

Before we get into some more statistics, here is the final Bracket with detailed results, statistics and replays, once again. The first round of the Losers’ Bracket pitting teams that ranked 3rd-6th in the groups is in a separate group accessible through the menu (Matches > Losers’ Round 1):

And now, the statistics! 30 games were played, in 14 matches:

• 45 Minutes per game
• 46.3 Kills per game
• 47.4 Deaths per game
• 113 Assists per game

Games were a bit longer, with a bit less kills and deaths, but still as many assists, revealing an even more teamplay-oriented strategy from the teams. Let’s delve a bit deeper into numbers from the teams of the Top-8 during the Main Event (once again, logos link to the matches of said team, where you will be able to find detailed match results and statistics, along with replays):

Team	Rank	Team Kills Avg.	Team Deaths Avg.	Team Assists Avg.	Team K/D/A Avg.	Player Gold Avg.
	1st	25.6	18.4	61	4.72	12,424
	2nd	22.4	26.4	59.4	3.1	14,210
	3rd	20.7	23.4	47.8	2.9	10,926
	4th	20.1	23	55.6	3.29	10,885
	5-6th	19.2	22	46	2.96	10,177
		30.7	23.8	65.5	4.04	12,728
	7-8th	27	22.8	71.8	4.33	9,728
		26	31	57.8	2.70	11,482

And to conclude, a quick Champion overview, with the record holder of each category during the Main Event:

Champion	Games played	Win Rate (>5games)	Pick/Ban Rate
	18	44%	57% / 27%
	8	75%	27% / 23%
	7	71%	23% / 67%

We hope you enjoyed this tournament as much as we did, and if you couldn’t follow it live, you have all you need to catch up now!

When talking about Esport shooters, Halo 5 Guardians sure is an outsider, but it would be an error to underestimate or mock the title, or its achievements.

After an astonishing 2016 year, that started with a $2.500.000 World Championship, culminating point of a season that span over 4 monthes, Halo 5 is back for its second annual World Championship, one year precisely after its first iteration.

12 teams have qualified through various tournaments to secure their spot in the World Finals, after several seeding tournaments where cash prizes and ranking points were available.

First off, there were the Seasonal Regional Finals (all links from here on are with results & VODs available!):

• Summer Season
  • NA Finals
  • EU Finals
• Fall Season
  • NA Finals
  • EU Finals

Then the unique LAN events started, early 2017, with the Saint Louis Qualifier, that was to offer 2 qualifying spots, but ended giving seeding points towards the next qualifiers. Next up was the London Qualifier, where FAB Games and Supremacy won their tickets. The Mexico Qualifier came afterwards, with one qualifying spot grabbed by SoaR Gaming (known as ShockTheWorld at the time).
Finally, 6 out of the 9 remaining slots were for grabs in the Las Vegas Qualifier, and there, OpTic Gaming (current champions, previously under the Counter Logic Gaming banner), Team Liquid, Team EnvyUs, TMMT Crowd Pleasers (previously Pnda Gaming), Str8 Rippin and Luminosity Gaming qualified.

3 teams were still to be selected to participate in the 7-figures World Championship, and after the representative from ANZ got selected, Last Chance Qualifiers were held online in Europe and North America with 1 slot each. The teams that qualified were:

• Team Immunity (ANZ)
• London Conspiracy (EU)
• Splyce (NA)

We now have our 12 participating teams, and the 2017 World Championship is about to begin!

The Bahamas, the sun, the sea, the beaches, Hearthstone … Wait? What ?! Yes, you read that right, this week-end will be held in Nassau, Bahamas, the HCT Winter Championship, with the 16 best players of the world, who fought their way through their regional qualifiers (Europe, North America, China & South-East Asia).

In case you missed how they fared in their respective qualifiers, we got you covered !

• Europe Qualifier (11/02/2017 – 12/02/2017)
• North America Qualifier (18/02/2017 – 19/02/2017)
• Asia-Pacific Qualifier (25/02/2017 – 26/02/2017)

At the end of the Winter Championship, the 4 best players will have their tickets to compete in the World Championship (where a king is crowned and $1.000.000 is split !), and as if that was not an incentive strong enough, there is a $250.000 cash prize to be shared, with the winner receiving $60.000 !

So don’t miss the competition, some fancy decks may surface, and high level of play will be seen for sure ! And of course, it’s all on Toornament :

From its very name, it was pretty obvious Rocket League wanted to go down the competitive road, but no one expected such a success. After a Pro Rocket League by MLG late-2015, Psyonix decided to invest in their own League, called the Rocket League Championship Series (or RLCS), starting March 2016.

This first season went through the summer, and ended in August with a $55,000 cash prize (for a total of approximately $75k for the whole season).

If you missed it, you can still see all results on Toornament :

A North American team went home with the title, and soon was announced a second season, to take place in December 2016. This time, European teams came back in force, and swiped everything. The whole podium was occupied by European rosters, who claimed the title and the lion’s share of the $125,000 cash prize allocated to the finals (part of the $200+k total cash prize of the season).

You can also find all Season 2 related results and replays of the matches on Toornament, including the MidSeason Mayhem tournaments, sort of fun separate competitions in which the teams play with several rule changes offered by the game, such as different game modes, Mutators and the likes, not unlike what is done by Riot Games during the League of Legends Championship Series with the All-Stars.

• RLCS S.2 : NA League Play
• RLCS S.2 : NA MidSeason Mayhem
• RLCS S.2 : NA Finals
• RLCS S.2 : EU League Play
• RLCS S.2 : EU MidSeason Mayhem
• RLCS S.2 : EU Finals

And after two massively successful seasons, we are back for a third season, with the European Top 3 from last season, and NA teams willing to do whatever it takes to reclaim their glory back (and probably also a fair share of the total cash prize of approximately $300k shared between the different Season tournaments).
Having started as a real outsider in Esports, Rocket League is now a contender to be taken seriously, with a huge player base (the game passed 25 Million Players earlier this year), growing numbers in every other aspect, and a will to delve deeper in this ecosystem.
The last qualifiers for Season 3 are over, and the participants and schedule are now known:

The League Play is set to start this week-end, with matches every week-end until the end of April, with the MidSeason Mayhem played in early April, the Regional Finals early May and the World Championship in June. And in the meantime, because there will only be so much you can watch, why not play in some of the Rocket League Open Tournaments currently available on Toornament?
