Summer is slowly getting to an end, but esports and competitions are still going as strong as ever. So why not enjoy the free time before September and get yourself in a nice tournament or two?
Here’s a selection of Open Community tournaments for you:

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.
Now that summer is fully installed, you have to make sure to keep hydrated and seek the shade. And while you’re inside, waiting for the temperature to lower a bit and enjoy outside activities, why not participate in a competition or two?

Thanks to its complete API, and even more so the OpenAPI Specification, Toornament is ready for in-game integration.
That’s an opportunity GFX47, developer of the game Gladiabots (an arena game where you assemble a robot squad and construct their IA to outsmart your opponents), understood and seized to let his community organize and take part in tournaments directly in the game.
If you play Gladiabots, you will be able to find a “Tournaments” item in its main menu, that will bring you to a list of tournaments, all organized on Toornament. Register to one, and your matches will automatically be pulled from our website thanks to the API and appear in-game. In the same fashion, match results are then pushed to Toornament and new matches pulled again for the tournament to move forward with no admin interventions.
On top of the official tournaments organized by the game developer, any community member can create his own tournament, and have it appear in game for all interested players to participate in.
“Having a solution like Toornament has allowed me to offer a competitive option for the players that wanted to take part in tournaments, without having to develop the whole feature myself. It has been a great time saver, and having the community be able to create their own tournaments ensure the game stays lively and active.“
– GFX47, Gladiabots creator
