Organizers and Participants, to your competitions!

A new game genre has taken over the charts recently, the Auto Battlers, with Auto Chess paving the way for Dota Underlords and Teamfight Tactics, created by Valve and Riot Games respectively.

The premises of the genre are quite simple, with a few players entering a game from which only one will emerge victorious after the others have been eliminated. To achieve victory, you will have to purchase characters (heroes, legends or champions, depending on the title), and equip items on them. Buy several copies of a single character, and see it evolve to a higher level. Combine characters with common race or class, and build a balanced team with bonuses and buffs to defeat your enemies.

At its core, it’s a new kind of death-match game, with around 10 players starting a game, and being eliminated one after the other, when their health reach zero.
And we have the perfect stages for you to organize competitions on such games on Toornament: the Free-for-All structures!
We have also devised a complete guide for you to build your first Auto Battler tournament, how to define your specific rules and match formats.

Our developer team has been hard at work to adapt the whole website for localization. We are glad to announce that Toornament is now fully ready to receive new languages, and the first ones are already available!
You can select your language from the navigation menu (located bottom of the sidebar in the Organizer Dashboard):

Toornament currently supports English (UK), English (US) and French.
The difference between UK and US English being the way the dates and times are displayed, with the AM/PM system and MM/DD/YYYY format for the US English locale.

The website is now ready to receive new languages, and the next ones to come in the upcoming weeks will be, as planned:

• Spanish
• Portuguese
• German
• Polish

Please let us know if you think some translations need improvements, or if you meet issues with texts or dates!
And tell us if you would like to have Toornament available in your language, so that we can decide on what languages to be added next!

Following feedback from our community, we improved the way our brackets are displayed on the website, to make them clearer and condensed. This will allow for more information to be visible at the same time on a page, along a better readability of a bracket stage:

These stages are the same, and as you can see, rounds are now clearly designated, with match information visible at all times, and information about players entering the stage or changing brackets.
The bracket links are shorter, and the Winner & Loser brackets are separated to make them more compact, all while gaining in readability.
These upgrades are available for all bracket-type stages (Single & Double Elimination, Bracket Groups and Gauntlets)!

This is the first of a series of improvements to come to the brackets, with more to come for the matches!
