Sky’s the Limit - Cloud9 x JetBrains Hackathon

Overview

This hackathon, a collaboration between Cloud9 and JetBrains, challenges you to build innovative applications using the latest development tools, including JetBrains' AI Coding Agent, Junie. You'll have access to official esports data and expert guidance to create projects in categories like assistant coaching, scouting reports, drafting tools, or fan engagement games. This is your chance to showcase your coding skills and compete for significant prizes.

Requirements

Participants must be of legal age in their country and all countries are eligible except for standard exceptions. You'll need to build or update a working application using JetBrains IDEs and optionally Junie. You must choose one of four categories: an Assistant Coach powered by AI and data science, an Automated Scouting Report Generator, an AI Drafting Assistant/Predictor for League of Legends, or an Event Game for fan activation. To submit, provide a URL to your public code repository with all necessary instructions, a 3-minute demonstration video uploaded to YouTube, Vimeo, or Facebook Video, indicate your chosen category, and complete the Devpost submission form.

The hackathon boasts a total prize pool of $25,000. Winners in the first three categories (Assistant Coach, Scouting Report Generator, AI Drafting Assistant) each receive $6,000 cash, a Cloud9 Store Gift Card, a 1-year JetBrains All Product Pack subscription, and an all-expenses-paid trip to GDC, including festival passes. The winner of the Event Game category receives $4,000 cash, a Cloud9 Store Gift Card, and the JetBrains subscription and GDC trip.
