What's New
13 September 2026
Playoff seeding keeps up with the group stage
Current13 Sept 2026 · BrahderLau · ~6h
- Playoff seeding now follows the current group standings. Open a saved bracket and it re-checks who holds each rank(~3h)
- A team that drops out of the qualifying places no longer stays in the bracket. Its slot empties, so you cannot generate a stale bracket by accident(~2h)
- Slots keep their meaning. #3 Group A stays #3 Group A, and only the team standing in it changes(~1h)
11 September 2026
Live TikTok streamers no longer disappear while TikTok is blocking us
11 Sept 2026 · BrahderLau · ~5h
- Streamers confirmed live were being switched to offline exactly half an hour later whenever TikTok started refusing our checks — not because anyone had stopped streaming, but because we could no longer see them. Four streamers went live at 12:50am and were dropped from the live list at 1:20am while still streaming. A refused check now leaves the streamer where they are, and only a real answer from TikTok can move them(~2h)
- While TikTok is refusing us, a round now stops at the very first refusal instead of pushing through three. It costs the same when we are being turned away, and when a round does get through it carries on down the list instead of stopping after one streamer — roughly one round in four currently gets an answer, and those are the only rounds that produce real data(~1h)
- Accounts that have never turned on TikTok LIVE were quietly costing a second request each, which spent the budget faster for no extra information. That second request is now skipped whenever TikTok is already refusing us(~1h)
- YouTube and Twitch live checks carried the same half-hour rule, so the same disappearing act was waiting to happen there the first time either one started refusing us. They now hold a live streamer in place too(~1h)
Double tapping share no longer breaks it
11 Sept 2026 · BrahderLau · ~1h
- A quick double tap on share hit a browser error instead of opening the sheet. The second tap is now ignored(~1h)
4 September 2026
Make a tournament poster without a designer
4 Sept 2026 · BrahderLau · ~8h
- Pick one of three poster templates and it arrives already filled in with your tournament name, dates, prize pool and game(~3h)
- Sponsor logos upload once and stay in your organizer library, so every tournament you run afterwards can reuse the same files(~2h)
- Wording and the photo crop stay editable. Remove a sponsor or re-crop the original photo months later without uploading anything again(~2h)
- Saving rebuilds the poster and updates it on the tournament page, in listings, and in the preview people see when sharing the link(~1h)
Matchday posts can now write themselves
4 Sept 2026 · BrahderLau · ~11h
- Pick a tournament and Espodium writes its matchday post for you, one per match day, queued for the hour you choose(~5h)
- Every post carries a square fixture card with the day, round, group, both kick off times and each match with its teams and streamer(~3h)
- Posts sit in your scheduled queue under your own account, so you can still edit or delete one from your phone before it goes out(~1h)
- Sharing a post now sends the image along with the text where your phone supports it, so forwarding a card takes two taps(~1h)
- A day with no match times entered sends you one reminder instead of a post that quietly never appears(~1h)
2 September 2026
The MMR chart no longer jumps around inside a tournament
2 Sept 2026 · BrahderLau · ~2h
- Games played in the same tournament often share one timestamp, and the MMR chart was drawing them in the wrong order — producing sudden vertical cliffs that made a rating look like it swung hundreds of points in a single game. The chart now orders those games by following the rating itself, so the line reads correctly(~2h)
The MMR chart now shows the real points won or lost
2 Sept 2026 · BrahderLau · ~2h
- Hovering a game on the MMR chart showed changes of only +1, 0 or -1 because it was reading the rating engine's internal number instead of the MMR one. It now shows the actual points won or lost, so the per-game figures add up to the total change above the chart(~1h)
- The chart tooltip now names the team you played for in that game, and the per-game and weekly-average lines can each be switched off by tapping their label(~30m)
- Match history no longer repeats each team's badge twice in the same entry, which took up two extra rows on phones(~30m)
See how a player's MMR has moved
2 Sept 2026 · BrahderLau · ~3h
- A player profile now charts their MMR game by game, so you can see at a glance whether they are climbing or sliding instead of reading down the match list(~2h)
- Players who have competed across several weeks also get a dashed weekly average over the top, smoothing out single-game swings(~1h)
Event agendas, and a real cover image upload
2 Sept 2026 · BrahderLau · ~5h
- Events can now list an agenda — what happens and when, each item with its own start and end time, grouped under a day for multi-day events(~3h)
- The event cover image is uploaded from your device instead of pasting a link you hosted elsewhere, with the link field still there if you prefer it(~2h)
1 September 2026
The event form is easier to fill in
1 Sept 2026 · BrahderLau · ~6h
- Creating and editing a ticketed event is now split into labelled sections — details, date and time, location, listing, schedule days and ticket tiers — instead of one long run of fields(~2.5h)
- Dates and times are picked from a calendar and time list styled like the rest of the site, replacing the browser’s own date box that looked different in every browser(~2h)
- Anything wrong in the form is now marked in red on the field itself, all problems at once, instead of one message at a time with no way to find the field(~1.5h)

1 Sept 2026 · BrahderLau · ~3h
- A What can each role do panel lists exactly what owners, admins and members are allowed to do, with your own role marked(~2h)

1 Sept 2026 · BrahderLau · ~6h
- Host a tournament now opens a page explaining what you get and that it is free, instead of dropping you into the creation form(~3h)
- Opening a page that needs an account now brings you back to it after you sign in, instead of leaving you elsewhere(~2h)
- The front page counter shows the total number of tournaments and leaves test events out(~1h)
Organizers can remove members, and members can leave
1 Sept 2026 · BrahderLau · ~5h
- Owners and admins can remove someone from an organizer. Nothing they created is deleted, and they can ask to join again(~2h)
- Anyone can leave an organizer they no longer work with, except its last owner(~1h)
- An owner can hand an organizer over to another member. That person becomes owner, and the previous owner stays on as admin(~2h)
Organizers can change what their members are allowed to do
1 Sept 2026 · BrahderLau · ~4h
- Owners and admins can promote a member to admin, or move an admin back to member, from the organizer panel(~2h)
- The organizer panel lists every active member. Before this it only showed people still waiting on a join request(~1h)
- You cannot change your own role, or the role of anyone at or above your own rank(~1h)
- Host a tournament now opens a page explaining what you get and that it is free, instead of dropping you straight into the creation form(~3h)
The front page now speaks to organisers too
1 Sept 2026 · BrahderLau · ~5h
- A Host a tournament button sits beside Find a tournament, so anyone wanting to run an event has somewhere to go(~2h)

- The duplicate statistics section further down the page has been removed(~1h)

Clearer tournament chat rooms, and more of them listed
1 Sept 2026 · BrahderLau · ~3h
- The two tournament rooms are now called General Chat and Participants Chat everywhere they appear(~1h)
- The rooms list no longer stops at eight tournaments, so the events you are part of all appear(~1h)
- Admins can now reach the rooms of any tournament, not only the ones they joined or organise(~1h)
Players who finish level now share a place
1 Sept 2026 · BrahderLau · ~4h
- Players with identical results are shown on the same placing instead of being split apart in alphabetical order(~3h)
- Sorting the standings by a different column no longer renumbers everyone's placing(~1h)
Placements are only shown where a result exists
1 Sept 2026 · BrahderLau · ~5h
- A tournament still waiting on its grand final no longer shows a first place before the match is played(~3h)
- A tournament that has not played a match no longer shows a trophy next to whichever team comes first alphabetically(~1h)
- Players tied on the same score in a lobby now share a rank instead of being split into separate places(~1h)
Fan votes can be changed again after a new week starts
1 Sept 2026 · BrahderLau · ~3h
- Removing or changing your vote works again after a week rolls over. Only polls with a weekly allowance still lock their finished weeks(~2h)
