We’re looking forward to the journey ahead and can’t wait to launch OVRLYD Mini in the coming weeks. We invite you to try it out when it's available—whether casually or as an active user, completely free of charge!
Coming from a background where we had to make do with whatever free solutions were available, we want to build a comprehensive solution for both offline and remote production teams, as well as single broadcasters.
We’re currently still fine-tuning the pricing details, but we are committed to a fair approach that makes the tool accessible for everyone while also covering our costs and supporting continued development.
Being transparent is crucial for us, so we want to be upfront about our future plans: as we near a full release of OVRLYD (not OVRLYD Mini), we intend to offer OVRLYD as a subscription-based service, complete with a free tier that’s fully functional for basic broadcasting.
Both of our initial draft overlays, which will be available at launch, support fearless drafting for best-of-five series.
—such as logos, color schemes, team names, substitutes, and coaching staff. Additionally, if installing the OVRLYD Bridge is not an option (because of external broadcast sources), you can simulate the draft manually.
Choose from a variety of draft overlays, kick off the draft yourself, or let it start automatically as the game begins. Extract player names directly from League of Legends or overwrite them with your stored opponent player names and additional data...
An early preview of our OVRLYD Mini Dashboard—please note that this might be subject to change.
And so, a few months later, we’re proud and excited to unveil OVRLYD Mini.
OVRLYD Mini is primarily designed as a League of Legends draft-tool while integrating selected features from our future modules like OVRLYD Studio and OVRLYD Assets.
Our progress was previously held back by the time constraints of our commitments to Solaris E-Sports. Now that Solaris is behind us, we finally have the opportunity to dedicate ourselves fully to make OVRLYD a tool for everyone.
So, after a bit of consideration, we set out to transform OVRLYD from an in-house temporary solution into a product built for everyone. Available soon with League of Legends, later CS2, and potentially expanding to other games.
While we fine-tuned OVRLYD for our in-house broadcasts, a question kept coming into our minds:
"If we already benefit from OVRLYD in its current unfinished state, isn’t the next logical step to make it even better—and available to everyone else?"
With features like team and asset management, static content hosting, and an “OVRLYD Bridge” that fetched in-game data from League of Legends for custom overlays like draft layouts, OVRLYD already had a solid foundation.
OVRLYD has been originally born as a handy tool to support our own broadcasts at Solaris E-Sports. It enabled us to quickly integrate dynamic content into our livestreams by tweaking pre-configured OBS browser sources directly from our web browser.
Fun fact: it's written "OVRLYD" but pronounced "OVERLAYED." You're welcome.
delivering top-notch live content isn’t always a walk in the park — whether it’s for League of Legends, CS2, or Valorant, be it on the professional stage or grassroot level.
his is why we’re excited to introduce you to our newest chapter: @ovrlyd.com!
— be it through co-streamed casts or fully staffed production teams featuring casters and analysts.
Yet, in a scene where enthusiasm and motivation is rarely lacking, but financial and non-financial resources, expertise, infrastructure, or simply time are often in short supply...
Whether you’re on camera or managing the action behind the scenes, that electrifying energy when chat messages fly by during peak moments is simply breathtaking.
From events to match days, victories to setbacks, every organization aims to deliver an unforgettable experience in their titles...
Today, however, we’d like to focus on one key point from our statement:
"Solaris allowed us to uncover our passion for organizing, planning, and producing live content."
Picture this: three, two, one - transition - and you’re live!
Introducing OVRLYD Mini
You may have heard, forgot, or never heard about it: after a two-year run, we made the call to shut down @SLRORG by the end of 2024. Since then, we've decided to join @regnum4games.de.
