A resource to improve your game. That has been the whole idea since 2020 and it has not changed since.
I am a writer and an avid gamer who wants to get better at video games. So let us improve together.
Camp, founderThe Esports Library started in 2020, in the middle of the Valorant closed beta, because working out how an agent actually functioned meant reading four contradictory forum posts and watching a twenty minute video for ninety seconds of useful information. We wanted somewhere that just told you the thing.
So that is what this is. Guides, breakdowns and news for competitive games, written for people who want to get better at them rather than only keep up with them.
Right now that means Valorant and Apex Legends, because those are the games we play. More will follow as we get to them, and every guide is filed under its game so the site stays navigable when there are ten of them rather than two.
Guides go up when we have something worth saying. There is no publishing schedule to pad out, which is why you will not find a weekly listicle here.
Readers pay for it. Supporters cover the hosting, and in return the ads come off and they get a few things to make their profile theirs.
Everything on the site stays free to read whether you support it or not. No guide sits behind a paywall, and none ever will.
Guides come out of actually queueing up, losing, and working out why. Patch notes are a starting point, not the article.
A meta shifts and a good guide becomes a bad one. If we have got something wrong, or a patch has moved the ground under an article, tell us and we will update it.
No publisher has paid for a word on this site and none ever will. If we run advertising, it will be labelled as advertising and it will not touch what a guide says.
Corrections, tips, or a game you want covered: hello@theesportslibrary.com. We would rather be told we are wrong than left wrong.
If you are joining in, the Community Rules are short and worth two minutes.
