Why GRID Live Esports Data
The official live data layer powering the esports ecosystem.
01
Official, publisher-sanctioned data
Direct agreements with rights holders - including Riot Games, Ubisoft, ESL FACEIT Group, BLAST, and 70+ tournament organisers - give GRID official data feeds for the titles it covers. Where an agreement grants exclusivity, its scope is set in that agreement.
Use in regulated markets, editorial coverage and broadcast is licensed within the scope, territory and term of your agreement.
02
Straight from the game server
GRID ingests match data directly from the official game server - not from a livestream, not from a scraper. That means unmatched reliability, depth, and granularity in real time: every kill, assist, headshot, tower, gold gain, and round event.
03
One schema. Every title.
GRID's agnostic data formatting unlocks every title we cover - League of Legends, VALORANT, Counter-Strike 2, Dota 2, and Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege - through a single GRID esports data API integration.
