Building VLR.gg/HLTV.org for League of Legends — but way more modern and unique

Over the past few months, I've been working solo on building LOLTV.gg — a hub for League of Legends eSports, inspired by platforms like HLTV.org (for CS) and VLR.gg (for Valorant), but with a much more modern and unique approach.

My goal is to create a space where LoL eSports fans can come together to explore detailed match data, engage in meaningful discussions, and dive deep into everything from player performance to team histories — all in a way that’s clean, fast, and purpose-built for the community.

Tournament page

What’s already live:

  • Detailed match pages with timelines, scoreboards, and team stats

  • Player profiles with recent performance, stats, historical stats, trophies, and seasonal insights

  • Team pages with roster info, past results, and tournament stats

  • Recent transfers page teams roster changes.

  • Tournament pages bracket, standings, stages, schedule, results and stats.

  • Forums for discussion with a custom editor tailored for LoL talk (builds, meta, etc.)

  • Community-driven news, where users can submit news that gets featured like X (Twitter) posts

  • Pro builds page with champion statistics with official data from League of Legends competitions. Discover trends, champion performance, the most common pro builds, champion presence, and more.

  • A clean UI that keeps things intuitive and fast


There’s still a lot in progress. One of the biggest upcoming features is Global Stats — an entirely new layer that doesn't exist on any current platform. You'll be able to segment data by patch, region, champion, and more to uncover trends and insights.

We also have a Live Score feature — real-time stats during games, along with an interactive match timeline, similar to what HLTV.org offers, but adapted for LoL.


The image below shows the champion build page for Skarner during the current season. It includes all relevant stats, preferred builds, and Skarner’s performance against other champions in official matches.


A huge focus is on the forum experience — not just a message board, but a modern place to break down builds, react to patch notes, analyze pro plays, and share ideas. The advanced editor makes it easier to express complex opinions and link them with actual data from the platform.


Here are a few more screenshots to give you an idea of where things are going:
