Problem
Fans of eSports titles that provide in‑game TV broadcasting often struggle to find a centralized place for live streams, match replays, and tournament schedules, especially for games with niche communities. Manual tracking of results and replay downloads can be time‑consuming, and there is limited automation for aggregating broadcasts across multiple servers.
Solution
GBooky is an eSports platform that aggregates live broadcasts, on‑demand match replays, and tournament information for games that support native in‑game TV (currently Enemy Territory and Urban Terror). It automatically monitors active matches, adds additional TV servers when viewer slots are low, and records demos for later playback. Users can create custom playlists of their favorite teams and leagues, with new replays and results automatically added and push notifications sent to keep them informed. The system provides a searchable database of demos, event listings, and a web interface for managing subscriptions and notification preferences.
Target Audience
Primary users are eSports fans and community members of games with built‑in TV functionality who want centralized access to live streams, replays, and tournament data, as well as tournament organizers seeking automated broadcast and replay services.
