To accompany this journey into esports, we plan on integrating the game with Toornament, to make the lives of organizers and participants easier by facilitating the experience of managing and playing in Legends of Runeterra tournaments.
The game will be available as soon as 19:00 (CEST), so get ready to build your best Demacia or Noxus decks, and you can start organizing your Legends of Runeterra tournaments right away!
Happy New Year in 4 new languages!

🇪🇸 Feliz año nuevo !
🇩🇪 Frohes neues Jahr !
We kick the new year with four new languages for the platform, which are 🇧🇷 Portuguese (Brazil), 🇵🇱 Polish, 🇪🇸 Spanish and 🇩🇪 German. We are confident this will help organizers advertise their competitions in countries with these languages, and plan on adding more as time goes, to make Toornament even more accessible to the crowds.
We have spent a lot of time refining and discussing the translations, but do not hesitate contacting us if you spot mistakes or have comments or feedback about texts or translations!
And also, let us know what language you would like to see next on the platform!
May 2020 bring you great things and healthy competitions!
What was up on Toornament in 2019?
2019 was quite a year for Toornament. For us, it was all about leveraging our B2B technology to create the best esports platforms. And we succeeded big time, by working with some of the biggest names in the industry, to offer players and organizers all around the world the tools and environment they need for their esports journey.
Business
First off, there were quite a few large scale tournament operations held on the platform, with Red Bull Player One 2019, the Mastercard Nexus Tournament and the Burger King by x6tence tournaments among others.
We have also worked directly with game publishers to create their esports platforms, such as the Splatoon 2 Tournaments platform for Nintendo, a complete national environment for Riot Games with the Grosse Ligue, targeted at students, and the two divisions of the LOL French League to find the pro players that will play in the LEC and the Rainbow 6 French League for Ubisoft.
Last, but not least, we have been working hands in hands with the teams from The Coalition, Xbox and PGL to develop, maintain and improve the Gears Esports Platform, a complete ecosystem for the Gears community, to play competitively, get to the top rank of your region and become a Pro Gears player.
Updates
To make all of these projects possible, and make the experience of everyone using our technology the best possible, we kept updating and improving it all year long.
Among the major changes, we have added new bracket structures: Gauntlet and Free-for-All. We also made visual optimizations to better display all brackets on the website.
The API, upon which are built all the business projects, also received plenty of love with the addition of Webhooks and the Open-Api Specification. This makes it easier than ever to build entire websites based on our technology, and allows for even more customization and automation.
2019 has been a great year for Toornament, and we already have plans to top that in 2020! Thank you for staying with us, and get ready for another exciting year in esports!
