 We will host daily tournaments that will range from: FREE to enter, pay to enter at 1/2 a Tournament Credit, up to 10 Credits to enter. You will also be able to use Qualifier Points to enter certain tournaments!


When you enter a tournament we will match you with a team of similarly skilled players, which you'll see this screen. You can communicate over VOIP with your teammates instead of typed chat, right through our platform! 




1. Entering a tournament will be as easy as joining a Solo Queue game in League of Legends. 

2. There will be a healthy mix of on-demand tournaments & scheduled tournaments that are FREE to enter, with a chance to earn cash and assorted prizes. 

3. For those that live life boldly, there will be tournaments with a nominal entry fee.

4. Automating our tournaments means that teams are match based on their skills, and not by a dude with a whiteboard. We will give players the tournament experience they deserve. Compete against players of your own skill level, and let us handle the rest.

Learn more about our Tournament Rules on our website.


We are a team of entrepreneurial gamers focused on creating a rich tournament experience for all types of gamers.  You may even know us from our stats website we just released at http://lol.arenaonline.com.





This is an opportunity for us to engage the most vital piece of our success, the community. We are coming to you because we want to build this with you, exactly the way you want it. This is an opportunity for us to work together, with open lines of communication. What is more powerful than thousands of minds coming together to build the ultimate tournament experience?

This is also an opportunity for you as gamers and eSports enthusiasts to make your voice heard, and show the world that there is a huge demand for something like this, and we want to be a part of that. We truly appreciate your support: without the support of the community, there is no Arena Online.

There are many ways that you can help us bring E-sports to E-veryone, whether that means you simply follow us on TWITTER or FACEBOOK, pledge $1 or pledge $1,000, it all means so much to us. Together, we can facilitate an even faster growth of eSports and make it accessible to all.





We know that there are a lot of questions regarding  our tournaments and how they will be run. Please visit our FAQ page and Tournament Rules page to learn more. As other questions pop up, we will be sure to add them here!
Tournament Legal Stuff: http://lol.arenaonline.com/tls

QUESTIONS FROM OUR FANS:

We want to make playing Arena Online Tournaments a worthwhile event for the player. In order for this to happen, we needed to create several different types of tournaments that range from ...

 Completely FREE
 Cash Entry
 Invitation Only
 Ladder Events

We will have micro tournaments that only last a couple of hours, to major tournaments that will last 6 or more hours. We are also offering a wide range of prizes from Qualifier Points, to gear, to cool digital rewards such as tiered badges, digital trophies, profile skins, Riot Points (for League of Legends) and the king of all prizes, cash!

We will have stat leaderboards as well. Who has the highest win %? Who is the highest ranked player? Who tops the money list or the Qualifier Points leaderboard? Who is the best Mid Laner? We will have all of these leaderboards and more, with awesome prizes and rewards for those that reach the top.


What is a Tournament Credit?
Tournament Credits are the form of currency used on the Arena Online Tournament Platform. The value of a Tournament Credit is $1.00 US. They can be purchased to enter tournaments that require Tournament Credits, and redeemed to make a cash withdrawal. However, Tournament Credits purchased through IndieGoGo are not redeemable for cash, and can only be used to enter tournaments. Tournament Credits that are won in tournaments, and future purchases directly through Arena Online are redeemable for cash.
Why are Tournament Credits that are purchased through IndieGoGo not redeemable for cash?
The IndieGoGo campaign will allow us to grow and develop a better tournament platform for you. Due to the nature of the campaign, we do not want players to immediately request a withdrawal, and encourage those players to participate in tournaments. Future purchases of Tournament Credits directly through Arena Online will be redeemable for cash.
If I am under 18 years old, can I still participate in cash tournaments?
Cash tournaments that offer an alternate form of payment, such as Riot Points or college scholarships,  are eligible for entry. Each tournament will have its own set of rules and payout schedule, so be sure to check out the tournament to see if your are eligible! You can also participate in any tournament that does not offer cash prizes, and we will have a lot of those!

I see that it costs $50+ to enter the inaugural tournament, will your platform always be that expensive to play?

We wanted to offer something special to kick-off our crowdfunding campaign, so we thought that a giant tournament for a $25,000 payout would be worthy of your donation. In the future, most of the tournaments on our platform will either be free to play or a nominal entry fee of a few dollars. We're in this to build something beneficial for you guys, not to drain your bank accounts dry.

How soon can I start competing on your platform? 

Just about every tier features "Closed Beta Access" that will get you into the platform and playing our free tournaments as soon as NOVEMBER 2015. Those that choose to enter our IndieGoGo Inaugural Tournament Series, this will be our first tournament with a major payout that will also qualify the top 4 placing teams (in each bracket) automatically into our Summer Invitational. After this IndieGoGo campaign, we will not open up further Beta Signups until later in the year. 




Risks and challenges

At Arena Online, we want to provide the ultimate tournament experience for everyone. The more seamless we make it for you, the more complex it becomes to develop for us. Fortunately, we have a team of exceptionally skilled developers and leaders who are not only bent on creating this platform through your voice, but have years of experience developing matchmaking platforms similar to ours for some of the largest games in the world. We are confident in our ability on delivering a tournament platform that will meet your expectations.

The team has been hard at work developing the platform, and we are committed to our Open Beta release date of February 2016 and the kickoff of our inaugural INDIEGOGO Tournament. We are confident that we will be able to hit that timeframe based on the development trajectory that we are currently on.

As with any major development project such as ours, there are unforeseen bumps, roadblocks, complications, bugs and a myriad of other things that could come up and ultimately delay the release of the platform. In the event that this does happen, you will be the first to know and we will work feverishly to try and get back on schedule. We will be here to support our community as much as we can, as your satisfaction is our number one goal.

Through funding on INDIEGOGO, we will be able to scale our staff and develop and add more features faster. We will be able to rigorously test the platform and produce a quality product for you. If we exceed our target goal, we will be able to guarantee more towards our tournament prize payouts, add more game titles faster and add even more cool features.

We have devoted a lot of our own time and resources to get Arena Online started. We sacrificed a lot because that is how much we believe in this. Just like you, we want to create something that the gamers want, and make it the best it can be. Since starting development we have successfully raised a seed round, but this is only the beginning. With your help we can go bigger, be better and develop faster. Help us create an amazing tournament platform!
