Since releasing the beta version of FirstBlood.io late last year, we have been steadily adding features, squashing bugs, and gathering feedback from players and tournament organizers (and just about anyone else with an opinion). The end goal is to provide the Dota 2, and esport community as a whole, something really special.

Today, we would like to announce that we are finally ready to share!

What we built

At its core, the FirstBlood platform seeks to lower the barriers to entry for both participating in and running online esports events.

The platform that we have built achieves just that.

On FirstBlood, tournaments are fully automated; from registration and bracket management to scoring and prize fulfillment.

What that means for us, and for any tournament organizers using our platform (more on that later), is that we drastically reduce the administration overhead involved with running a tournament; meaning we can run more tournaments, more frequently, with fewer resources.

For tournament organizers of any scale, that is a huge win!

On the community scale, that means that if you and your buddies, a local meetup, or an online community, want to run a Dota 2 tournament, it can be up and running in a matter of minutes with no need for anyone to do anything but play and enjoy the action.

For large scale tournament organizers, it means hundreds of man-hours saved and unparalleled scalability; no longer is the scope of your tournament limited by the ability of your scale of your admin team.

For players, it means less time waiting in lobbies, no need to submit screenshots to prove you won, and no questions about whether or not your prize will be paid out.

We want to share!

Over the past few weeks we gave an extremely limited number of tournament organizers the opportunity to use our platform, the feedback so far has been overwhelming delight at the simplicity and ease of use.

We are so thrilled with the response that we have decided it is time to open our awesome automated Dota 2 tournaments to everyone!

Whether you are a group of buddies wanting to test your skills, a world-class tournament organizer, or somewhere in between, you can learn more and apply to have your tournament hosted on FirstBlood over at tournaments.firstblood.io.

Once you have applied, a member of our tournament concierge team will reach out to get your event up and running.

Priority Access

Way back when we started FirstBlood, we made a commitment to give our presale participants priority access to our tournament features.

Today we would like to fulfill that promise.

As demand for use of our automated tournament feature continues to grow, our presale participants can rest easy knowing they will have priority access.

That means we will roll out the red carpet to publish your tournaments faster and hold your hand through the whole process.

Apply now!

What are you waiting for? Head over to tournaments.firstblood.io and apply to host your own automated tournament today!
