An Event Organizer's Best Friend

I'm Brandon Darby, MLGAnakin, from Vancouver, BC. I created and ran the Axie Infinity World Championships at AxieCon 2022 in Barcelona, with $1 million USD in prize pools. Format, schedule, qualification process, prize pool breakdowns, rules and on-site operations: all of it.

The biggest thing I took from running world championship events is that whether an event runs smooth or hectic comes down to the prep. When the schedule, the rules and the tools are right before day one, the day runs itself. Esports Authority is everything I wish I'd had, built for the people who run tournaments and leagues every weekend.

“Brandon was instrumental to the execution of the esports operations at AxieCon 2022 in Barcelona. He designed a complex system of qualifiers that allowed us to run a robust and dynamic tournament with an exciting LAN finals. He has skills as a tournament designer, administrator, and project manager.”
