Inspiration

The inspiration behind IgniteHub came from our shared love for games, data, and building products that are actually useful. We wanted to enhance the esports viewing experience by providing fans with real-time data and interaction features to make tournaments more engaging and immersive.

What it does

IgniteHub is a comprehensive application designed for esports enthusiasts. It leverages live game data from tournaments to offer users a dynamic platform. Users can access real-time statistics, monitor player performance, view an interactive leaderboard, participate in live chat discussions with fellow fans, and receive instant notifications for critical events during matches.

How we built it

We built IgniteHub using a combination of web development technologies. The front end was crafted with React to ensure a seamless and user-friendly interface. For the backend, we utilized Node.js and WebSocket which is integrated with GRID's official CSGO data sets. WebSocket technology was employed to enable real-time data updates, and the application's server-side logic was powered by Express.js. Additionally, we utilized cloud hosting for scalability and reliability.

Challenges we ran into

One of the main challenges we encountered was efficiently handling and updating the live game data, because the dataset is so vast and complex, it was difficult to understand and build a solution to consume his data in real-time while ensuring minimal latency. We also had to design a user-friendly interface that provided both data-rich content and a smooth user experience.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We're proud to have created IgniteHub, an application that enriches the esports experience for fans. Achieving real-time data updates, seamless interaction features, and user-friendly design were significant accomplishments.

What we learned

During the development of IgniteHub, we learned the importance of data synchronization and real-time updates in esports applications. We gained valuable experience in working with GRID's official data and understanding the intricacies of esports data management. Additionally, we honed our skills in GraphQL (dropped later), WebSocket, real-time communication, and handling large data in the front end as well to create an engaging platform.

What's next for IgniteHub

In the future, we aim to expand IgniteHub's support for additional esports titles, leveraging GRID's diverse data sets. We also plan to introduce more advanced analytics and predictive features for esports enthusiasts. Our ultimate goal is to become the go-to platform for esports fans, providing a one-stop hub for live data, interactive engagement, betting, and deep insights across various esports tournaments.
