Paidia Bot makes tournament hosting more accessible than ever

As I delve deeper into the inspiring stories of trailblazers like Jill Kenney and Taylor Sudermann, I am continually reminded of the indomitable spirit that women possess when faced with adversity. Their journey through the male-dominated arenas of tech and gaming is a testament to their resilience and determination.


Xpsp spoke to Paidia Bot about their product and breaking barriers in the gaming industry.

A cutting-edge tournament management system for esports, Paidia Gaming’s Paidia Bot, is poised to simplify and democratize the process of setting up esports competitions like never before.

One distinctive feature that makes Paidia Bot stand out among other solutions for hosting esports events is its versatility as a comprehensive tool. This versatility offers significant benefits across various esports landscapes, ranging from experienced tournament organizers to more casual communities organizing scrimmage nights. As a company, Paidia Gaming is committed to making gaming and esports as inclusive and accessible as possible.

I had a chat with Jill Kenney and Taylor Sudermann from Paidia Gaming, to gain insights into the upcoming release of their innovative creation – the Paidia Bot.

Paidia Bot takes care of everything you need to host a tournament

When Paidia Gaming states that their Paidia Bot handles everything required for starting a tournament, they truly mean it. With just one command, the Bot sets up channels, roles, and a tournament webpage. From there, you can personalize the event by informing the bot about the game being played, the format to be used, and other details. The bot will then tailor your setup according to these specifications.

Paidia Bot simplifies registration processes, allowing for team formation where players can join and depart freely. It also offers more than just administrative duties; it can create graphics suitable for a tournament broadcast on platforms like YouTube or Twitch. This feature is particularly beneficial for small communities and streamers who may not require professional branding solutions.

Beyond catering to small-scale and community gatherings, Paidia extends its services to large-scale tournaments as well. This is achieved through white label offerings, which allow bigger event organizers and hosts to utilize our platform while maintaining their unique brand identity. This includes the creation of custom web pages and custom bot names, enabling events to leverage the functionalities of Paidia under their own brand name.

Both free and paid Paidia Bot options available

As a enthusiast, I’m excited to share that there are two versions of Paidia Bot at your disposal: the standard edition and the newly launched Pro version. Luckily, the free edition comes packed with all the essentials for kicking off a thrilling tournament. The premium Pro version, priced at just $3.99 per month, offers additional features that truly elevate any event you’d want to host, making it an irresistible cherry on top!

Paidia Bot:

  •  Registration in Discord
  • Single Elimination, Double Elimination, Battle Royale, Round Robin (releasing soon)
  • Private Matchroom Threads for score reporting
  • Automatically creates roles and channels for each tournament
  • Tournament Web Pages for Bracket Display
  • Check-in

Paidia Bot Pro:

  • Team Registration (add entire roster to your team thread, captain roles, FA command)
  • Bracket Command to display an image of the current status of your bracket, great for tournament broadcasts
  • Group Stage Bracket
  • AI Score Reporting for Battle Royale

AI Score reporting is particularly exciting for events with multiple lobbies running, where private lobbies can be hard to get access too. For example, a kill race event in a game like Fortnite. It can be tedious for admin to review screenshots of each player and update the bracket accordingly. With AI score reporting players can upload a screenshot of their end of match screen and the AI bot will update the bracket with their stats.

As a fan, here’s my take on your statement:

Paidia Gaming is fighting to break down barriers for women in gaming

As an enthusiast, I’m thrilled about Paidia Gaming’s newest initiative – the creation of Paidia Bot. This tool is just one of many steps they’re taking to make the gaming world more inclusive. According to Jill Kenney, Paidia Gaming operates on three distinct fronts, continually striving to improve and innovate in the gaming sphere.

Paidia Gaming functions in three key areas: Our marketing and influencer division works with brands and creative talents to create tailored experiences that are enhancing the digital realm positively. A significant emphasis is placed on the ‘women and diverse gaming community’, as we’re deeply committed to fostering equality within this industry.

In Paidia, our Tech Division acts as a vital extension, dedicated to crafting cutting-edge and adaptable solutions designed to elevate the complete gaming journey. One of our unique creations, the Paidia Bot, was specifically designed to simplify every stage of an eSports competitor’s tournament experience. Our team excels in tuning into the community’s voice, understanding their requirements, and crafting tools tailored to meet those needs. We see immense potential in expanding our portfolio with tech innovations that seamlessly enhance the overall gaming landscape, so keep a lookout for more trailblazing products in the future!

Jill Kenney

Although Paidia Bot wasn’t explicitly designed with women gamers or any specific segment of the gaming community in mind, Taylor, Jill, and their team recognize its potential in enhancing tournament play for various groups, particularly those focused on accessibility.

“Supporting women in gaming and diverse gamers in general will always be the core of our DNA and our brand mission. Our marketing and influencer agency, as well as our community hub help us support that mission.

From a professional perspective, Paidia is exclusively steered by women, making it incredibly gratifying for me, as the CEO and founder, to witness the positive outcomes that stem from granting talented ladies such as Taylor and our entire team the chance to excel in their respective fields.

“Our debut offering, Paidia Bot, caters to gaming enthusiasts across the board, and we’ve recently interacted with some passionate esports communities. Initially, there might be a hint of skepticism when we introduce ourselves as a female team. However, the merit of our product soon overpowers any reservations, leaving everyone astounded by its capabilities. Before long, our gender becomes irrelevant, and we’re simply recognized as a talented group developing top-tier products. It’s rewarding to serve as role models and motivate others within the industry.”

Jill Kenney

Although Taylor and Jill have highlighted that half of all gamers are female, they’ve predominantly worked in industries traditionally male-dominated throughout their tech and gaming careers. What kind of hurdles might they have encountered?

“I’ve essentially transformed an obstacle into energy, if I were to put it into words. Growing up, I was deeply involved in sports and competitive environments. The disparity, not just in this field, between women and men has always been evident to me. When I began my career, I questioned why such a divide was occurring despite there being no inherent disadvantage for women in the gaming industry. So I thought, what’s preventing equality?”

“I felt deeply affected by the situation. It didn’t need to unfold this way. As a result, whenever I acted or observed, I couldn’t help but think, ‘I can’t believe I’m being treated as if I’m segregated merely because I’m female and people doubt my knowledge.’ “

Whenever someone doubted my knowledge in a conversation, I saw it as a chance to raise the bar and demonstrate my expertise through action. Proving them wrong became an incentive for me. I aim to protect those who might feel vulnerable when encountering such difficulties.

Taylor Sudermann

As a dedicated fan of inclusive gaming communities, I’m thrilled that Taylor and Jill are both aware of the work that lies ahead in making gaming more accessible for all. They’ve specifically highlighted the challenges faced by marginalized groups within gaming, who often encounter even more obstacles.
