Community organized tournaments have been a cornerstone of our flourishing global esports scene since Vainglory's inception. That's why we're excited to unveil a brand-new, revamped community tournament structure for all organizers! Check out the new changes below:

OPEN FORMAT: FREEDOM TO RUN TOURNAMENTS YOUR WAY

Previously, we supported global tournament organizers who followed limited format guidelines. Moving forward, we have expanded this list to include more options like Double Elimination, Round Robin, King of the Hill and any other cool structures you can conjure up.

TIERED REWARDS: GET BETTER LOOT WITH MORE EXPERIENCE

In addition to format changes, we've updated our rewards system to feature more enticing loot like ICE, keys, heroes and skins. The new support structure is tiered, meaning that after you get in touch with us, we'll place you in one of four tiers based on a number of factors including organizing experience, production capability, stream quality, number of tournaments previously hosted and more.

Placed in a lower tier? Don't worry! There's always a chance to level-up after you become a more experienced organizer. Inquire about promotion to a higher tier by shooting us an email; one of our regional community managers will review and respond to your request.
