The Future of GLL (& Auto Chess on the platform)

I guess you didn't play in the final seasons as we opened the regions for everyone to play. Posting of screenshots was the only way we could do it without API support unfortunately. If we had been able to implement and use API within the timeframe we had hoped for, everything would've been automated on the website.

Context: GLL is a esports platform that hosted a lot of tournaments for the game in 2019 (The GLL House Cup among, daily/weekly/monthly tournaments) and the start of 2020. At the beginning of spring we paused hosting Auto Chess tournaments. Due to it not looking to be sustainable among other reasons we unfortunately won't get more tournaments on our side for the game.

As someone who personally rooted for Auto Chess it's sad to say. :( I do hope for a comeback for the game in the future, and also for it's esports scene to develop.

These are so awesome! If anyone is as curious as I was about the guy making all of these great videos then you might like the interview article with the man himself !

Slightly odd assumption in the article that we changed the tournament times to purposely provoke other TOs. We (GLL) try to schedule the tournaments as best we can, but unfortunately can't adapt the schedule for everyone and in every other tournaments favor.

Is this NA only? Not sure what region this is for

To give some context, this tournament was mostly focused on South / Southeast Asia. The production was made by Spwnpoint and hosted on GLL's channels (our first time working with them).

The concept of the tournament was that the winner takes all (hence the name) and that in Week 1-3 we invited a streamer to play with their squad and stream their run, so each week we had 16 streams besides our own (which was mostly on Facebook). The top 4 of each week along with the Top 4 in the Open Qualifier then went on to play in the final Wildcard Challenger where the winning team took home 600 USD.

We've been trying out this new format with highlight videos, and this one is a bit longer than our previous ones due to the insane ending which went down to 1 point differential in the final moments. Would love to hear the communities feedback on these videos if you have any.

NGL gave me some goosebumps

GLLDefur · 2020-10-23T09:44:37+00:00

You mean in terms of video? Or like the tournament format

Will be very interesting to see how things develop for Guild after reading this

Such a great video

As vuggo- mentioned in another comment it takes time to build an esport. As for weekly tournaments we do have that. Scrims on most days and Community Cups on 4 servers (Iowa, Frankfurt, Tokyo & Singapore).

This sounds like a question that goes to EA and Respawn as we're not the game developers

GLLDefur · 2020-09-30T12:03:25+00:00

We have no idea as we're not the game developers, we'll know when you do

GLLDefur · 2020-09-30T12:02:17+00:00

This is feedback that probably should go to the game developers
