Events & Tournaments

Finding events

• Events (/events) — every published event, filterable by game and date.
• Tournaments (/tournaments and per-game pages) — tournament hubs for the major esports titles.
• Games — each game hub lists its upcoming events and ladders.
• Discover — personalized suggestions based on the games you play and your match history.
• Play Tonight (/play) — an open seat for tonight, separate from the tournament schedule. See Play Tonight.

Every event page shows the game, format, team size, capacity, schedule, rules, prizes, sponsors, and — once live — the bracket, scoreboard, and stream.

Event formats

Registering

Registration is open while an event is published and not yet started (and not full — events can have a capacity).

• Solo events (team size 1): click Register on the event page.
• Team events (team size 2+): the team captain registers the team. You must be on a team and be its captain. Your registration covers the roster.

You can withdraw any time before the event starts from the same page.

Rank-gated events

Some events set a minimum and/or maximum rank score — for example "Gold and below" or "Diamond+". To register for a gated event you need a linked Riot account with a verified rank inside the allowed range. If you're blocked, the error will tell you whether your rank is unverified (link/re-sync your account) or outside the gate.

Entry is free

Every event on GamerHosts is free to enter today. Players are never asked for a card.

Events for Riot Games titles (League of Legends, Valorant, Teamfight Tactics, Legends of Runeterra) are always free to enter. That is a platform commitment, not a per-event choice, and prize pools for those events are funded by GamerHosts and sponsors, never by players.

Paid entry for other titles is not available. If that ever changes, the fee will be shown on the event page before you register.

Check-in

Events can require check-in in a window before the start time (the event page shows the window, e.g. "check-in opens 30 minutes before start"). Check in from the event page during that window — brackets are generated from checked-in players, so missing check-in usually means missing the bracket. Check-in closes when the event starts.

During the event

Once the host starts the event:

• The bracket page shows every match live — scores and advancements update in real time.
• Your match room (/m/<match-id>) is where you report scores — see Matches & brackets.
• The stream page carries the live broadcast when the host has one.
• You'll get notifications (in-app, push, and email depending on your settings) when your match is ready and when the event is starting.

After the event

Final placements feed your XP, the leaderboards, and any prizes the host recorded. Winners are announced on the event page (and in the host's Discord, when connected).
