Show HN: Peak Gaming – Tournament platform for everyday gamers Hey HN community! I'm super excited to shoutout Peak on HN as its a project a buddy and I have worked on tirelessly for the past year or so. Peak is a service that hosts free, cloud based tournaments for everyday gamers with real prizes and skill based matchmaking. Our main offering is our "Passive Tournament" system which allows you to have your regular public matches automatically tracked without ever having to manually enter your scores. Basically, you play just like normal, and Peak keeps score. At Peak, our focus is to make competitive gaming accessible and enjoyable to all. We’re democratizing gaming to bring the same competitive incentives formerly only available to pro players to the everyday gamer. The driving force behind developing Peak was the current state of esports and competitive play for the regular gamer. Put simply, it's too complicated and the barrier to entry can be super annoying. Any criticism/thoughts would be incredibly appreciated since we are trying to iterate as best as possible to turn this service into a thriving community of gamers. Feel free to make an account too and check out some tourneys :) https://ift.tt/JkuqnWP January 27, 2023 at 02:10AM

I would be really grateful for advice from this community on how to best approach marketing. We had a great TechCrunch article covering our launch [3], and we posted it on various music websites. Turns out advertising on Google or Apple Search is a dark art, though. We have some good ideas for developing a good social media presence, but they will take time. Please hit us with feedback, opinions and advice that you think a young ind...
