The Legends of Runeterra Open Beta is out!
As you might have heard already, Legends of Runeterra, the Trading Card Game by Riot Games is releasing in Open Beta today, with accounts wiped for the last time.
This new game follows Teamfight Tactics in the will of Riot Games to develop their catalog around their IP, and the game seems really promising, with mechanics that come from the best Card Games, and mixed in a new and interesting gameplay.
The game also looks like it’s going to be a great competitive game, with a thriving esports scene, with its depth and complexity allowing for interesting match-ups and an evolving meta. 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!
A new LOL official league happening on Toornament!
On this day last year, we announced our partnership with Riot Games for the French League, entirely managed via Toornament, and with a custom website we built for them.
This partnership is carrying on, and it gets better, as it has been extended to the 2nd Division of the French League. This means that Toornament is now the go-to platform for the whole circuit in France, from the LOL students league to the pro players that have a shot at the LEC.
This new website dedicated to the 2nd Division comes with a brand new design, but retains the features and navigation of its 1st Division counterpart, to create a coherent environment for players and spectators alike.
We are pleased and proud to be the official solution chosen by Riot Games for the entire French esports ecosystem, and we have other exciting things to come working closely with them!

Happy New Year in 4 new languages!
🇧🇷 Feliz Ano Novo !
🇵🇱 Szczęśliwego Nowego Roku !
🇪🇸 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!
Use Case: LANA France
Today we want to introduce one of our first ever professional organizers, LANA France, a nonprofitable association that has been created in 2000, organizing events around video games. They made a name for themselves during the great era of LAN Parties (with the MaxLan), and now accompany communities in creating their events and exhibitions, by bringing them expertise and skills relevant to esports tournaments.
Here to talk more in depth about their experience is Cyril Grosjean, VP of LANA France:
We have been using Toornament since 2013 to manage our competitions (around a hundred now). It made the whole management, registration and communication process way easier for us.
On our latest project, Moselle Gaming Network, we needed a new feature to let participants choose their city of participation from a list of allowed cities. Indeed, this League of Legends competition was held simultaneously across 5 cities, and only participants from these cities were allowed to take part.
We then used the Toornament API to build a custom registration form directly on our website.
The advantages of this solution were numerous:
– We could build the feature in a few hours, tailored to our needs
– We now have the players only using our website, and do not need to have them go to and from Toornament and our own website, which prevented confusion sometimes felt by some of our younger players
– We could communicate entirely on our own media and networks, controlling the entire process and user experience
In the future, we plan on integrating Toornament even further in our websites, to allow for a fully white-label experience, with all tournament information being directly available on our website, which we know is possible thanks to Toornament.
Thank you Cyril for your time and insight on the work of an organizer, and congratulations the great environment you provide to your players!
