Broadcast support · Esports network engineering · Crew on the floor

The crowd watches the game. We watch everything else.

ScotLAN engineers the network and carries the broadcast when it matters — architected before the trucks roll, soak-tested before doors open, watched on comms until the last feed is cut. If nobody noticed us, it went perfectly.

What we do

Three disciplines. One crew.

Esports network engineering

Design, build, operate. Tournament-grade networks engineered for the venue, the format and the stakes — competition traffic, referee systems, production and press — segmented properly, built to fail gracefully and recover fast.

Broadcast support

Live production infrastructure, supported end to end: signal paths, comms, contribution and distribution links, and the network that ties the gallery to the stage. When the show is live, we are already on comms.

Network & IT support engineers

Specialist engineers embedded with your event team — people who speak both broadcast and IT, have done the overnight builds, and stay calm at match point. One team to call, from load-in to load-out.

Track record

Trusted on the biggest stages.

We work directly with the organisations behind top-tier competitive gaming — delivering broadcast support and network engineering on site at their flagship events.

Client organisations

  • The annual cross-title world championship in Riyadh — seven weeks of competition, 25 titles and the largest prize pool in esports history.

  • The longest-running esports company in the world. Founded in Cologne in 2000 — the organisation behind IEM Katowice, ESL One and the Pro League.

Events supported

  • ESL’s flagship Counter-Strike league — 24 of the world’s best teams through multi-week Swiss stages, produced daily from ESL’s broadcast studios.

  • Boulevard Riyadh City: simultaneous arenas, dozens of concurrent title productions and a global broadcast — the most demanding show floor in esports.

  • The original LAN. Swedish-born in 1994, now the world’s largest digital festival — record-setting BYOC halls, expo floors and esports stages running day and night.

…and other major global events.

Logos identify organisations and productions our team has supported on site, and are shown as a record of that work. All marks remain the property of their respective owners; no sponsorship, affiliation or endorsement is implied.

How we work

From venue plan to teardown.

  1. Scope

    A short call and a site pack: venue drawings, tournament format, broadcast plan, head-count. We tell you plainly what the event needs — and what it doesn’t.

  2. Design & pre-production

    Network architecture, IP plans, kit lists, rack layouts and failover paths — documented before anything ships. Boring on paper is calm on show day.

  3. On site

    We build early, soak-test hard and sit on comms through every match. Tournament ops, broadcast and venue IT get one team to call, around the clock.

  4. Debrief & handover

    As-built documentation, an honest incident log and recommendations for next time. If the event is annual, next year starts easier.
