About Indian Esports
What we do
Indian Esports (iesports) hosts online and offline tournaments for Valorant, Dota 2, and CS2 (Counter-Strike 2) in India. Every player on the platform has their in-game rank verified before they enter a bracket, so matches are fair and skill-balanced. We exist for the player who takes the game seriously but doesn't want to grind a pro path — the player who wants honest competition, real prize pools, and a community that shows up.
How players benefit
- Rank-verified matchmaking. Brackets are split by verified Riot competitive tier and Dota MMR. No surprise smurfs, no boosted teammates.
- Transparent prize pools. At least 70% of net entry fees go directly into the prize pool. The numbers are visible on every tournament page.
- Multiple formats. Solo queue, snake-draft shuffles, captain auctions, and pre-formed teams — pick the format that fits your friend group.
- Offline meets online. We run regular LAN events at Domin8 Esports Cafe and keep the online platform alive between events.
Games we support
- Valorant — live. S/A/B/C tier brackets based on verified Riot competitive rank, with shuffle, auction, and standard team formats.
- Dota 2 — live. 5v5 team tournaments and weekly solo scoring tournaments with rank verification via Steam and OpenDota.
- CS2 (Counter-Strike 2) — live. Solo and team tournaments with Steam-verified rosters.
- Call of Duty — coming soon.
How rank verification works
For Dota 2 we read your public match history and rank tier from the OpenDota API after you link your Steam account via Steam OpenID. For Valorant we look up your Riot ID and current competitive tier through the Riot Games API after you link your Riot account. Once we go live with Riot Sign-On, Valorant verification will move to the official RSO flow so you never share credentials with anyone but Riot themselves.
