Esports on the sports page: preview, feedback wanted
Trying to figure out the best way to add esports to /sports, here's an early version for you to look at and comment on. The sports page now has two sides: Sports and Esports. The esports side is organised by game (LoL, VALORANT, CS2, Dota 2, Smash) and by tournament rather than by season.
Right now it leads with Worlds 2026: where the event is (Play-In done, Swiss round 5), the three deciders with both teams’ odds, a Swiss board, the quarterfinal spots still open, and the title odds with who’s through and who’s out. When a tournament is on, the main sports feed shows a small strip linking over.

Unfortunately, this is almost entirely hardcoded & would be annoying to maintain, but how could we automate this? What works for creators?
Autodetect. Any market in a game topic whose answers read “Team A defeats Team B” shows up as a tournament on its own.
Tournament markets. When you create a market, you can mark it as a tournament, pick the game and format (Swiss or bracket), and add series as they’re drawn.
Paid data. We pay for esports data APIs, create official markets for every series automatically, and front the liquidity for each one. That’s what we’re experimenting with for sports, but it may be harder to keep up long term.
Which of these makes the most sense to you, and which would you actually use? (as a creator or bettor)
also, what’s missing from the page?
