A live esports score bug — the kind of compact overlay you see at the bottom or top of a broadcast during a match (like on ESPN or a Twitch stream). It shows:
Two teams (LGX vs NVX) with their colors, names, and scores
A live match timer in the center
A momentum bar showing which team currently has the upper hand
An alert banner that slides in to announce big moments like a lead change
Technical Choices:
Data Binding — used to connect things like the match timer and alert text to a central "View Model," so in a real broadcast pipeline, those values could be updated live from an actual data feed (game score APIs, timer sync, etc.) without touching the design.
State Machine — used to control when the UI reacts. Rather than the score bug being static, it has defined states (idle vs. "something just happened") so it can respond to discrete events, the same way real broadcast graphics trigger animations when a goal is scored or a round ends.
Why I choose this project?
Creative concept — a clearly branded, broadcast-style scoreboard rather than a generic template
Polish — consistent colors, clean typography, and symmetrical layout :🔥 make it look genuinely broadcast-ready

I designed a dynamic and futuristic Esports Live Stream Broadcast UI overlay for this challenge. It features a high-energy neon aesthetic with a central matchup layout (Team A vs Team B), complete with a live stream timer and custom graphic frames tailored for competitive gaming broadcasts.
Live Cricket Broadcast Package
I’m not a professional motion designer, but I wanted to challenge myself and build something beyond a simple animation.
Using what I know about Rive, frontend development and cricket, I created a complete live broadcast graphics package with a scorebar, player statistics, ball-by-ball updates, FOUR, SIX and WICKET celebrations, and match stat screens.
All the information is data-bound and updates dynamically from a working Next.js scoring application. I put my best effort into combining design, animation, logic and real-time data to create an experience that feels like a real cricket broadcast.
This project represents my learning, experimentation and the best of what I currently know in Rive.
Hello! This is my submission for Contra's #rivebroadcastchallenge : an eSports Charity Event type graphics package for live streaming for game like League of Legends and Valorant.
The package includes:
- Player portraits that can be updated according to each players picture.
- Team Icons that can be updated according to each team.
- A scoreboard where the team’s icon and name can be updated live, and the score is updated in real time with subtle animation triggers for each scored point.
- A live player leaderboard that uses a script to update in real time based on kills or points, that can be expanded/collapsed for more detailed information.
- Important game kill pop ups like ‘First Blood’ and consecutive kills from 'Double Kill’, all the way to ‘Penta Kill’, each showcasing the portrait of the player who died and the one that got the kill.
- Post match stat comparison based on two players, showcasing their picture, stats, and who holds the crown for each stat.
- An MVP showcase banner showing the top player's stats for the match and their picture.
- Donation alerts showing the donators username and amount donated with varying icons based on the donated amount.
- A live donations’ progress bar that uses a script to update the donation progress in real time, with animation triggers for every milestone.
One of the new Rive features I was able to implement was databinding a keyframe. I used it to animate the donations’ progress bar in and out animations, it gave me the ability to set an out keyframe into a keyframe that was bound to the data of the percentage that was already received, data that is updated in real time.
I learned a ton in the process and had a great time creating this from the rough sketches to linking up state machine triggers to viewmodels and all the databinding process.
Here's a link to preview it inside of Rive: https://editor.rive.app/file/broadcast-challenge/2449294?linkId=eTXuQh835k2iBjB-T2GcEA.
Hope you enjoy!
