BERLIN, Germany & AUCKLAND, New Zealand, August 14, 2025 – GRID, the game data and technology platform, has announced a partnership with Ninja Kiwi to provide in-game data infrastructure, distribution, and community engagement solutions for Legion TD 2, its infinitely replayable multiplayer and single-player tower defense game. This partnership marks the first time GRID’s technology platform will extend beyond AAA esports titles to serve multiplayer games and developers more broadly. 

A spin‑off of the popular Warcraft III mod, Legion TD 2 has maintained a vibrant and active community since its full launch in 2021. Through this collaboration, Ninja Kiwi will unlock actionable in-game data to support new player-facing features and internal development workflows.

With GRID Play, Ninja Kiwi will gain access to:

• Full playerbase in-game game data for use in leaderboards, post-match breakdowns, and community dashboards
• A developer portal with data access and analytics tools – including player behavior and game engagement—to improve decision-making and development efficiency
• Data infrastructure that supports new content layers and future use cases

“GRID Play was designed to let developers focus on making great games, not managing complex data,” said GRID Chief Technology Officer and Co-Founder Chris King. “The AutoAttack Games team at Ninja Kiwi has developed a game with a passionate player base and strong community-driven ecosystem behind it – qualities where reliable data infrastructure and insightful player stats can add meaningful value.”

“GRID’s tools give us a ton of valuable data on thousands of matches played every day, which collectively unlocks deeper gameplay insights for both our players and our team,” said AutoAttack Games CEO and Founder Brent Batas. “As we share GRID data with our playerbase, we can better showcase the unparalleled gameplay depth of Legion TD 2, and the same data will also help guide our business and development decisions moving forward.”

This collaboration marks the first official integration of GRID Play – a new offering designed specifically for indie developers to track the full playerbase in-game data. Built on GRID’s proven technology and expertise trusted by the industry leaders such as Riot Games, KRAFTON, or Ubisoft, GRID Play enables games of all sizes to access, leverage, and commercialize the full extent of their game data, without the added complexity and engineering resources.

GRID Play is already live in Legion TD 2, and full leaderboard and stats features will launch later this summer.

GRID Insights transforms raw gameplay data into dynamic, predictive insights in milliseconds — surfacing real-time narratives like player streaks, weapon stats, and record chases, all tailored to the stream’s brand and audience.

“With GRID Insights, we’re building the storytelling engine of live esports, powered entirely by official data,” said Moritz Maurer, GRID’s CEO. “We use official in-game data and real-time pipelines to generate predictions, contextual stats, and behavioral patterns that previously required an analyst team. Now it’s automated and scalable, enabling our partners to create more immersive, informative, and engaging experiences that today’s digital-native audiences expect.”

Unlike the commonly used approach of embedding streams from public platforms, GRID Stream offers operators full control over the video experience. It delivers ad-free, brand-safe feeds — enhancing regulated betting products and improving the overall fan experience.

“Esports bettors aren’t just watching passively; they’re actively engaging, analyzing, and wagering in real time. If the stream lags or is interrupted by ads — especially during key moments — it’s not just a poor user experience. It often leads to users abandoning their bets and returning to the original streaming platform. GRID Stream solves that, offering operators faster, more engaging, and more reliable betting experiences — without the limitations of third-party embeds,” said Klas Roseqvist, Senior Sales Manager at GRID.

GRID Streaming is available now to partners worldwide via GRID’s Media Player or through custom integration options, supporting both RTMP and HLS.
