    • Gjallarhorn is a tool for Brawlhalla community tournament producers to generate formatted JSON files for esports tournament stream overlays. Gjallarhorn can generate JSON files for multiple use cases, including tickers, casters, lower thirds, queues, players, and games. It pulls data from start.gg, challengermode.com, and the Brawlhalla Stats API.
