North American esports organisation Cloud9 and software development tool creator JetBrains have joined forces to launch an esports hackathon event.
Using League of Legends and VALORANT data from GRID, the official esports data partner of the VALORANT Champions Tour and LoL Esports, participants can pick one of four categories to create tools to ‘push competitive gaming forward.’
Categories range from creating an assistant coach to developing a minigame that fans can play as part of Cloud9 or JetBrains event activations. In addition to the main prizes, participants can earn awards for the best video submission, most valuable JetBrains software or Junie feedback, and the best written blog post.
