  Industry estimate

  A private estimate, not an official statistic. It is here because organizers get quoted it. Read it as a sense of scale, nothing more.

Demand is not what made your last event hard work. The admin around it was.

1. 1

   A Google Form

   Names arrive as text. You retype them.

2. 2

   WhatsApp receipts

   Match every screenshot to a person before you can seed.

3. 3

   A spreadsheet roster

   Chase duplicates, no-shows, and the team that changed its name.

4. 4

   A bracket elsewhere

   Rebuild it by hand when a team pulls out at 9am.

5. 5

   Screenshot each result

   Crop, post, repeat. Every match.

6. 6

   "When do I play?"

   Fifty times in the group. Then again after one delay.

The event ends and the record is a chat log nobody can search. Next month you start again from nothing.

1. 1

   Create the event

   Game, format, dates, roster rules, entry fee.

2. 2

   Players register

   Using accounts and teams they already have.

3. 3

   Fees collected

   Online, or into your own bank by receipt.

4. 4

   Seed the bracket

   From confirmed, paid entries.

5. 5

   Enter scores

   Bracket and standings move on their own.

6. 6

   Results stay up

   A public page you can send a sponsor a year from now.

You still run the tournament. You stop running the paperwork around it.

• Listed, not shouted about

  It appears in the tournament directory for its title the moment you publish.

• Nobody signs up twice

  Players arrive with an account, a team and a match history. A squad that entered someone else's event last month enters yours in a few taps.

• Reminders you do not have to send

  A schedule change reaches every confirmed player as a push notification and an inbox item.

• Eleven interface languages

  Bahasa Malaysia and English side by side, plus nine more, so a Klang Valley open and a cross-border invitational run on the same page.

Straight answer: the player base here is still growing, and the counts on the cover are live rather than rounded up. What you get on day one is a findable page and a sign-up flow players recognise.

1. 1

   Player picks a method

   FPX, Touch 'n Go, GrabPay, ShopeePay, DuitNow QR, card.

2. 2

   Payment goes through

   Every fee is itemised before they confirm.

3. 3

   Roster marks them paid

   You seed from confirmed entries, not promises.

4. 4

   Money settles to you

   The entry fee, in full.

• The player carries the fees

  A gateway fee and a 1% platform service charge, minimum RM0.15 and capped at RM2.00, both shown at checkout.

• Or keep your own bank

  Turn on receipt upload and players attach their transfer proof to the registration. You approve it from the roster instead of a chat thread.

• Free events cost nothing

  No entry fee, no charge, no catch.

An RM50 entry by FPX costs the player RM51.50 and pays you RM50.00. Those figures come from the checkout code, not from this slide.

• Four formats

  Single elimination, double elimination, round robin and Swiss, with group stages that feed a playoff.

• Best-of, game by game

  Record each game in a series. Set a format for the stage and override it for the final.

• Tie-breaks you decide

  Choose the order per stage. Standings name the rule that settled each position, so the argument ends on the page.

• Your crew can actually work

  Owners, admins and members all run brackets and enter scores. Staff never need your login.

• Two rooms per tournament

  One open to anyone signed in, one only for registered players. Staff can reach everybody at once.

• Fan votes

  For players, casters or hosts. You decide whether results show while voting is open, and you can check whether a vote is being rigged.

• Dream Team and predictions

  A fantasy squad for your event, plus match predictions that pay out in platform coins.

• Highlights carry your name

  Players posting to the feed and reels tag your tournament and your organizer page.

People who voted, predicted or picked a squad come back for the next one. People who sat through a quiet stream do not.

1. 1

   Set your tiers

   Early bird, general, VIP. Each with a price, a quantity and a sales window.

2. 2

   Buyer pays

   Or claims a free seat, or uploads a transfer receipt.

3. 3

   A QR is issued

   Signed, one per ticket, nothing to print.

4. 4

   Scanned at the door

   Volunteers check people in from a phone.

• Two people cannot buy the last seat

  Stock is held the moment a purchase starts, so the final ticket goes to exactly one buyer.

• Door staff, for the day only

  Give a volunteer scanner access with an expiry on it. Their access lapses without you remembering to remove it.

• espodium.com/org/your-handle

  Your logo, description, socials and every tournament, with results that stay public.

• Roles for your people

  Owner, admin and member. Invite staff, approve join requests, remove people when they move on.

• Credit your casters and crew

  Named on the event and on their own profiles. It is why the good ones say yes to the next one.

• Players keep something

  Placements feed profiles, rankings and a downloadable esports resume, so entering your event is worth something after it ends.

• Hosting a tournament

  RM0. Run as many as you like.

• Registration, brackets, schedules, standings, chat, ticketing

  RM0. Everything on the last six slides.

• Online entry fees

  The player pays the gateway fee and a 1% service charge, RM0.15 to RM2.00. You receive the entry fee in full.

• Receipt-upload payments

  RM0 to us. The money goes straight into your bank.

We only earn when a player pays online. Free event, free platform.

A public page with a registration count, a bracket and final standings is that proof. Running here produces it while you work, instead of you assembling it afterwards.
