1. Concept and Vision
The team begins by developing the core concept of GG-Portal as an esports portal that allows users to create tournaments, compete in popular games like Dota 2 and CS2, and receive real rewards for winning. The platform aims to become a leading player in the esports field, offering users the ability to quickly join tournaments, compete, and earn real payouts.

2. Market Research and Target Audience Identification
The first practical step involves market research in esports, including competitor analysis to understand their features and limitations. Based on this analysis, the target audience is defined: gamers interested in quick access to matches and tournaments where they can earn from their victories. This audience is primarily youth aged 16-35, actively gaming and familiar with various online competition platforms.

3. Defining MVP Functionality
To ensure a rapid market launch, the team outlines the essential features required for the MVP, including:

• User registration and authorization
• Tournament and quick match creation and participation
• Built-in payment system for quick payouts
• Player ranking and statistics system
• Admin panel for managing tournaments, users, and content

4. Design and Prototyping
The design team creates visual mockups and prototypes, developing a logo, color scheme, and user interface. The goal is to build an intuitive interface where players can quickly find relevant information and easily join tournaments. The MVP prototype is demonstrated to the team and potential users to gather feedback.

5. Platform Architecture and Technology Selection
Based on functional requirements and expected load, the following technologies are chosen:

• Backend: Python, with FastAPI for a high-performance, asynchronous API
• Frontend: React for a dynamic, fast user interface
• Database: PostgreSQL for storing information about users, matches, and tournaments
• Hosting: Cloud infrastructure (AWS or Azure) for high availability and easy scalability
• Payment integration: Stripe or similar payment gateways for secure, fast payouts

6. Core Components Development
The development team starts by building the platform’s critical components:

• Registration and authentication system: Implemented using email, social media, and basic authorization/security (password protection, 2FA).
• Tournament and match functionality: Developed mechanisms for match creation and participation, including game selection (Dota 2, CS2) and tournament rule configuration.
• Payment system: Tools for account funding and payouts to cards or cryptocurrency after match completion.
• Ranking system: Designed to calculate player stats and display rankings based on achievements on the platform.

7. Testing and Debugging
Each module undergoes thorough testing during development:

• Functional testing: Verifying core features, including registration, match creation, ranking calculations, and payment processing.
• Security testing: Ensuring platform security to protect users’ personal and financial data.
• Load testing: Testing platform performance under heavy load to ensure stability during large tournaments.

8. MVP Release and Feedback Collection
After testing and debugging, GG-Platform is launched publicly as an MVP. Users can join matches and tournaments and use the platform’s core features. User feedback collection is essential to identify potential improvements and features for future updates.

9. Marketing Strategy and Promotion
The team develops a promotion strategy to attract users:

• Social media and communities: Active promotion through social media, esports communities, streamers, and influencers.
• Partnerships: Establishing partnerships with esports tournament organizers and popular streaming platforms.
• Referral program: Launching a program encouraging users to invite friends, helping grow the user base.

10. Results Analysis and Future Planning
After the successful MVP release, the team analyzes feedback, platform usage statistics, and marketing effectiveness. Based on these insights, further development is planned, including new features (player chat, in-platform store, additional games) and improvements to existing functionality.
