Riot Games and Bayes Esports have teamed up to develop a first-of-its-kind centralised hub that will deliver competitive esports data.
The League of Legends Esports Data Portal will provide access to a wide variety of data to power teams, partners and fan experiences and will enable long-term growth for the wider esports community.
Bayes said that as industry leaders, both Riot Games and Bayes Esports share a common goal: to build a sustainable ecosystem of secure and scalable solutions aiming to benefit all those involved with the esports industry, from tournament organisers to the fans watching from home.
The LDP has allowed more than 150 teams and partners worldwide access to LoL data easily through both UI and API. The data, the company said, will allow teams to improve their pre-match preparations and post-match analysis, powering up the overall level of play all over the world. It added that professional LoL teams across the globe are already seeing the value of the LDP across Riot-ran regions.
“We are excited to be laying the foundation and starting to share our vision for the future of esports data,” said John Knauss, lead of competitive data programs for esports at Riot Games. “From the beginning, our mission has been to enable our professional teams, partners, and community to revolutionise esport. Working with Bayes to develop the underlying tech to bring this vision to life has been a fantastic opportunity, and we are looking forward to continuing to push and differentiate esports in the space.”
“We are always looking for opportunities to develop innovations that are beneficial to the entire esports industry,” said Martin Dachselt, CEO and managing director of Bayes Esports. “Being able to work with Riot Games has given us a great opportunity to tailor technologies to fit the needs of teams, players, and individuals. We believe that the LDP will be the next of many steps to continue to professionalise the esports industry.”
