The world of esports betting is packed with fast-evolving terminology that can be intimidating to This November, Chengdu, China will become the beating heart of global esports, hosting simultaneously IEM Chengdu 2025 and League of Legends Worlds 2025, shortly followed by Dota 2 BLAST Slam V. Three titles, three major tournaments, and behind the scenes, one silent constant: the GRID Data Platform, an esports data infrastructure behind every match, stat, and insight, and the official data partner of EFG, Riot Games, and BLAST.
Our challenge? Source data directly from the game servers, manage and transform it into a standardized format, and deliver it to our network of betting and media customers, all in real time.
So how is the GRID Data Platform preparing to handle millions of live data points per second, across multiple concurrent tier-one tournaments?
Building for Scale: When Global Esports Collide
Capturing data from multiple global tournaments isn’t simply about throughput; it’s about synchronization at scale. GRID’s data infrastructure is engineered to process millions of data points at once – one game of League of Legends Esports generates more than 1.2 million events that GRID captures live, all structured and distributed within milliseconds.
The platform’s architecture is built for redundancy, high availability, and automated scaling meaning it can handle simultaneous tournament loads without latency spikes or loss of integrity.
Whether it’s a triple-overtime CS2 final or a LoL Worlds semifinal running in parallel, GRID ensures that every kill, assist, and round result is captured, validated, and broadcast as structured data in real time.
Real-Time Reliability – Integrity by Design
In the esports betting ecosystem, data accuracy is everything. Even a fraction of a second delay or a missing event can translate to incorrect odds or unfair settlements. That’s why GRID’s systems are ingestion-first and verification-driven, ensuring each event is cross-validated against multiple checkpoints before leaving the platform.
By working directly with official tournament servers and rights holders, GRID guarantees that the data powering odds, visualizations, and broadcasts originates from the authentic in-game source — not scraped feeds or spectator views. This ensures:
- Integrity – Server-level data eliminates human error and manipulation risks.
- Security – Encrypted pipelines protect every packet from capture to distribution.
- Fairness – Partners can confidently price and settle markets knowing the data is authoritative.
Speed that Shapes Experiences
GRID’s live data distribution is built for sub-second latency, allowing sportsbooks to offer micro-markets such as “First Blood,” “Next Roshan,” or “Round Winner” with complete confidence. For media and broadcast partners, it means real-time visualizations, predictive insights, and automated storytelling all synchronized with the live action.
When two major tournaments happen at once, speed isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity. GRID’s globally distributed architecture ensures data packets reach end users instantly, no matter where the match or bettor is located.
The Power of Official Data
In esports, there’s only one way to guarantee integrity, accuracy, and commercial sustainability: official data.
Unofficial or scraped data feeds often come with missing context, human latency, and no guarantee of compliance. Official data, however, is structured, verified, and rights-holder-authorized — the foundation that powers legitimate esports betting, media coverage, and fan engagement worldwide.
That’s why GRID’s partnerships with publishers and tournament organizers are critical. They ensure that every GRID-powered event in Chengdu, from LoL Worlds to IEM to BLAST is backed by data you can trust.
GRID – Bet on data.
Three events. Millions of fans. One platform ensuring every moment, stat, and signal reaches the world in real time. The GRID Data Platform strives to define what real-time means for an industry built on milliseconds.
Because in Chengdu, when the world’s top teams take the stage, the data behind the game must perform just as flawlessly.If you are interested in getting access to official esports data reach out to [email protected]
