Our Story

Built by Players,
For Players

Zyvenor started as a frustration and became a community. Here's the honest story of how we got here, and why we do this.

The Beginning

Why Zyvenor
Exists

In 2021, Daniel Marsh had been competing in online gaming communities for close to a decade. He'd seen platforms come and go — most were either too chaotic to take seriously or too corporate to feel real. Tournament brackets broke halfway through, disputes went unresolved, coaching was either non-existent or overpriced with no accountability, and the sense of community was surface-level at best.

Zyvenor was built to address all of that. Not as a grandiose venture, but as a practical answer to a genuine gap: a structured, community-centred platform where UK players could compete fairly, improve deliberately, and actually feel connected to the people they played with.

Three years later, we've hosted over 320 events, supported more than 4,800 active members, and built a coaching programme that's helped players at every level — from first-time tournament entrants to experienced competitors looking to break through a plateau.

What Guides Us

Founding Values

Fairness

Every event is governed by clear, pre-published rules. Disputes are handled consistently and transparently. We don't make exceptions for regulars or established players.

Genuine Growth

We care more about players actually improving than about selling them more sessions. Our coaching is results-oriented and honest about what takes time.

Community First

The platform decisions we make are shaped by member feedback. We run monthly check-ins, read every support message, and change things when the community says something isn't working.

Transparency

Pricing is clear. Policies are plain-language. We don't use dark patterns, hidden fees, or vague terms. What you read is what you get.

Our Journey

Zyvenor
Timeline

Three years of building something we're genuinely proud of.

2021
Zyvenor Founded

Daniel Marsh launches Zyvenor from his flat in East London with a Discord server, a basic website, and a clear intention: build the gaming community that didn't exist yet. First 50 members join within the opening week.

2022
First Tournament Season

Zyvenor runs its first structured tournament season across three titles. 140 participants, eight event days, and a whole lot of lessons learned about logistics and communication. The format holds up.

2022
Coaching Programme Launches

Marcus Webb joins as Lead Strategy Coach. The coaching programme starts with a waiting list — demand significantly outpaced what was expected. The curriculum is built from the ground up with a focus on genuine skill development over numbers.

2023
Team League Format Introduced

Following consistent member requests, Zyvenor introduces team-based league competitions. The first season runs for ten weeks with sixteen teams. The format becomes one of the most popular things the platform offers.

2025
4,800+ Members and Growing

Zyvenor reaches its highest membership to date, with active players across all four UK nations. The team expands, workshops go online for the first time, and the platform introduces its strategy article library.

Our Approach

Community
Philosophy

Zyvenor is not trying to be the biggest gaming platform. We're trying to be the most consistent and trustworthy one within our space. That means keeping events manageable, maintaining quality over volume, and being genuinely responsive when members raise concerns.

We have a strict code of conduct that applies equally to everyone — including long-standing members and staff. Harassment, unsportsmanlike behaviour, and bad faith disputing aren't tolerated. The consequence is clear and enforced.

We also take responsible gaming seriously. Gaming should be a positive part of your life, not a source of stress. If a member ever reaches out with concerns about their habits, we signpost appropriate support. We don't encourage excessive engagement or use tactics designed to keep people on the platform longer than is healthy.

What Zyvenor Is
— And Isn't

Zyvenor is a digital entertainment and gaming community platform. It is not a gambling service, a financial product, or a scheme that guarantees any form of income or career outcome. Participation in our tournaments and events is for entertainment and skill development purposes only.

We operate in line with UK digital standards, consumer protection legislation, and responsible entertainment principles. All fees are transparently listed, all terms are written in plain English, and members retain the right to cancel or request refunds in accordance with our published policy.

If you have any questions about how Zyvenor operates, who runs it, or how your data is used, you're welcome to contact us directly. We believe the best communities are built on openness, and we hold ourselves to that standard.
