They also have information on speedrunning events like RTA in Japan which is currently underway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TAIYORO has a recommended events feature and the ability to search by event and game title. They also point out that users can manage the events they plan on watching with the site\u2019s bookmark feature. The site\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/taiyoro.gg\/calendar?date=2022-01-31\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">event viewer<\/a> page also makes it easy to see upcoming events and their schedules at a quick glance. It\u2019s a convenient way to get information about events for games you\u2019re interested in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to TAIYORO, there have been over 1,500 eSports events broadcast in Japan over the course of 2021. On top of that, over 150 eSports casters and commentators have appeared in broadcasts this year. TAIYORO plans to function as a sort of database for information surrounding Japan\u2019s eSports scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211227-187308-002.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8025\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211227-187308-002.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211227-187308-002-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211227-187308-002-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211227-187308-002-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211227-187308-002-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211227-187308-002-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211227-187308-002-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211227-187308-002-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211227-187308-002-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>The site is being operated by PlayBrain which is involved in running and marketing eSports events. Outside of Japan, there are already sites that act as archives and aggregate data about eSports events, but Japan has had no such site. PlayBrain says Japan\u2019s eSports events (and overseas events that broadcast in Japanese) need a place where all this information is gathered, and thus, TAIYORO was born. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It will be exciting to see how <a href=\"https:\/\/taiyoro.gg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TAIYORO<\/a> permeates among eSports and potential eSports fans going forward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Japanese eSports event tracking website TAIYORO is now live.
