You know the drill: “Harness the power of Toornament to produce great competition!”

But do you know that you can also benefit from our social channels to put the spotlight on your tournament. Here’s how:

The annual FIWC is happening right now in New York and the cream of the crop of FIFA 16 players from around the world are gathered to decide who’s going to get the title, $20,000 and a paid trip to the “Ballon d’Or” ceremony!

Our team is covering this major eSport tournament bringing you everything you need to follow the competition: schedules, participants, archived scores and streams links.

The final matches will be played later today, make sure to keep our widget open. Happy cheering!

Saying that video games professionals are video games lovers is an understatement and Ubisoft employees won’t say otherwise…

Esport enthusiasts from Ubisoft Montréal started an in-house gaming league. It’s a common thing nowadays. But when most people will simply play during lunch time in the leisure area, the Ubisoft people went further.

The UGL (Ubisoft Gaming League) engages hundreds of former-colleagues-now-rivals over a wide array of Esport games – and not just the Ubisoft ones :

• Rainbow Six Siege
• Fifa
• Rocket League
• Just Dance
• Mortal Kombat
• Super Smash Bros
• Street Fighter
• Hearthstone
• Heroes of the Storm
• Starcraft
• Dota 2
• League of Legends

Growing through 3 seasons already, the UGL has now its dedicated stage, trophies, admins and casters. That’s what we call some serious dedication to competition! Maybe it has to do with the presence of several progamers among the Ubisoft workforce?

Anyway, we’re thrilled that the UGL picked Toornament to run all their competitions. They used every tools they could and came back to us with great feedback and requests specific to running toornaments for active people dealing with other schedules and agendas (yes, full time workers may have a job to deal with).

We love to see commited organizers on both pro and amateurs levels. Or in the case of UGL, “amateur level in a pro environment”. If you run an office league, we’ll be happy to help!

As we continuously add new games in our supported disciplines pool, some stand out more than others, like this week’s two latest additions: Super Senso and Street Fighter V.

Super Senso

Poised to be one of the stars in mobile competitive gaming this year, Super Senso mixes the beloved Advance War flavor with lovely low-poly graphics aiming to bring the established turned-based strategy genre to the mobile and eSport era.

The team behind Super Senso seems to follow Vainglory’s eSport-focused footpath and we’re confident in the fact that it’ll also become a popular discipline on Toornament.

The “Senso Brawl”, the first competition with popular streamers, is already being held this week and you can check all the action tonight at 7PM EST.

Street Fighter V

We’ve talked at length about Street Fighter V and the fighting hype is finally upon us as the game is now available. Boasting a unique PC / PS4 crossplay feature and ditching the “Super Turbo Arcade Edition” outdated business model, SFV looks like it’s equipped for the task of bringing Fighting Games to the next eSport level.

While the big tournaments are coming over the next weeks (Stunfest, Kumite, Canada Cup, EVO…) we’re already seeing SFV tournaments hours after the game has been released.

From sleepless night double brackets to monthly leagues at the office, we have you covered with every kind of Street Fighter brawl you’d like to set up. Can’t wait to see more V-Trigger action!
