I'm afraid I don't play online games so if there is a specific term, I wouldn't know. Could it be "the tournament starter"?

Notes to answerer
Asker: I agree with Roger about the word 'staff'. I beleive this term refers to the player who started the match which others then joined. What would this user be called in an online game?

agree  Roger Johnson: I don't like the word "staff". I think the Japanese have overdone it with this word or maybe I have just lived in Japan too long (26 years)!! Anyway, I'm gonna vote for the underdog:-)

agree  Leochan: 実行員（実行委員)というと、運営に関わっている人達を指すと思います。ボランティアなんかで協力している人達なんかも含めると、staffになるのかなぁ~・・・

Explanation:
Coming late to the game, but I thought I'd add some other possibilities.
When you're playing games online, you don't play in events, but rather tournaments and leagues.
It depends on the type of game, and the context within the game.

I think that is usually called the "Game Host" .... but that's assuming that the game is played using the Host's computer as a server.
