Esports Tournament Platform

Aspiring Esports Tournament platform, identified significant challenges for casual gamers venturing into competitive esports. These challenges included limited access to organized tournaments, a lack of visibility into skill progression, and difficulties in finding suitable scrimmage opportunities. To tackle these issues effectively, Leagues.gg collaborated with Phaedra Solutions to develop a user-friendly platform.

Phaedra developed a platform that not only enabled regular esports tournaments but also included essential features like skill assessment tools and team-building capabilities. With Phaedra's expertise, our client was able to create a structured pathway and supportive ecosystem that empowers casual gamers to transition seamlessly into the competitive esports arena.

Problem

In the world of esports, organizing gaming events can be a hassle. Existing available platforms are often incomplete, thereby forcing users to switch between multiple sites. Team management is another challenge, as players struggle to find one place to handle everything. Hosting events is no walk in the park either with complicated tasks. The gameplay can also get boring as many platforms lack exciting features. Finding and playing against a team of the same rank is also a hassle for some players.

Solutions

To tackle the above challenges, we designed Leagues.gg - an all-in-one esports gaming tournaments platform. It serves as a one-stop for players to organize events, manage teams, and compete hassle-free. We integrated robust team management tools to make it easy for players to recruit, communicate, and strategize effectively. We’ve also simplified the event hosting process by providing intuitive tools for creating, scheduling, and managing tournaments. Furthermore, we have also incorporated the scrim feature to help similar ranked/rated teams compete against each other.
