Problem
Hiring a pro player is tricky as a number of factors count when selecting a new hire. During interviews and also analyzing the gaming industry, it was found that the companies that run the competitive teams still use archaic methods to hire new players like referrals or superficial information.
User Interview Insights
After conducting the interviews and analyzing the answers from the participants we can conclude the following:
- Esports (League of Legends) is a competitive field around the world. Additionally, professional players are highly skilled and the hiring process becomes harder.
- The hiring process basically consists: The first step is to search for the rank and then is to get the statistics, then they have to meet the player and try to do an interview.
- Before hiring a professional player, the recruiter goes over the statistics of every player in order to know how the performance has been ranked.
- When the recruiter is not 100% convinced of hiring a pro player, there could be a training process to make sure the player is suitable for the team. Testing players before hiring is a must do.
- In the hiring process, the captains can check players’ skills, roles etc but they don’t have enough time to talk or have interviews to know each other, such as playing style and stance for practicing.
- Communication and personal skills are requirements taken into account when it comes to hiring a new player.
- The company prioritizes players who have good attitudes and behaviour.

Colour Palette
Our app is designed in dark mode. Purple and Bright Green are our primary colours. For the purple, we use gradient purples for the background and cards. Bright Green is utilized for the parts that should be emphasized. They have a clear contrast. As secondary colours, Sky Blue and Dark Blue are applied. Sky Blue is a good accent colour same as Bright Green.
Typography
Headings
Chakra Petch, which are looped letterforms, is used for headings. It is a square sans-serif with tapered corners and it reminds futuristic technology.
