BERLIN, Germany, July 17, 2025 — GRID, an esports data and technology platform, has partnered with Clavision, one of the top Chinese tournament organizers, to manage live data capture for the DOTA2 Masters 2025: Snow-Ruyi—one of the largest Dota 2 esports tournaments in Asia, taking place July 28 – August 3 at the Bao’an Indoor Stadium in Zhangjiakou.
The agreement names GRID the exclusive data distribution partner for the Snow-Ruyi event, supplying official in-game data in real time for live broadcasts, media coverage, and other fan-facing destinations.
“Clavision hosts one of the boldest and most imaginative expressions of competitive Dota 2 esports in Asia—the largest esports market in the world,” said Charles Hanley-Nickolls, Chief Procurement Officer at GRID. “Our partnership puts technology at the center of Snow-Ruyi to deepen the way fans experience, share, and interact with this can’t-miss event.”
“GRID ensures that every moment of Snow-Ruyi is captured, shared, and elevated—from the live competition to the content, stats, and stories surrounding the tournament,” said Cloud Guo, CEO and Founder at Clavision. “Data plays a crucial role in how fans watch and experience esports today, and GRID is continuously innovating and setting that standard across the industry.”
The partnership creates a range of ancillary content opportunities for Dota 2 esports fans around the world, meeting audience demand for one of the most-viewed games globally. In 2024, Dota 2 was ranked the fifth most-watched esport, recording 320M hours watched—and Clavision’s Snow-Ruyi event promises to be one of the most-anticipated events of the year.
