About
GRID is a comprehensive esports and multiplayer gaming data intelligence platform that serves as the backbone for competitive gaming's data economy. As the official data partner for major publishers including Riot Games, Ubisoft, and KRAFTON, GRID sources raw in-game telemetry and transforms it into structured, real-time data feeds that power a wide ecosystem of downstream products and services. The platform is built around four primary solutions: GRID Play (infrastructure for game developers to source and manage player data), GRID Esports (official live data feeds for broadcasters and media), GRID Bet (fast, secure data for sports betting and fantasy operators), and GRID Fan (widgets and overlays for fan engagement experiences). An Open Access tier provides free access to official esports match data for developers and researchers. Key products include GRID Live Esports Data—the largest portfolio of official real-time esports feeds—GRID Widgets for embeddable interactive stats visualizations, GRID Stream for licensed video delivery to betting and media operators, GRID AI Insights for contextual fan-facing narratives, and GRID Rushzone for CS2-specific betting and odds data. GRID is ideal for esports tournament organizers, game publishers, sportsbook operators, fantasy sports platforms, broadcast networks, and independent developers building data-powered esports applications.
