Just thought I'd drop a quick update. I've been working on the backend trying to improve the data integrity. Now that things are more or less stable I've extended the time where games drop off the database to 3 days. Which also kind of means that dirty games stay longer in the system. I'll have to work on that a little more.
|
I managed to improve the parser for cases where multiple similar brackets would appear in the same round. Rather specific cases such as RB North America (which Scarlett won) and IEM Shenzhen. I also improved the data integrity of the games so there should be less duplicates or dirty data as the days go by.
I've been wanting to include Dreamhack group stages since about 2 dreamhacks ago but haven't had quite the time. I know it'll be super handy considering the immense number of games in the group stages. I'll try and rush that out before this weekend's dreamhack but no promises. =/
|
Dreamhack group stage brackets up. Many games though, use the spinner to filter through easily. You'll see an example with the updated DH Summer event.
|
Just noticed Proleague games missing. Briefly looked at the code and I know what's wrong, but I'll have to look at the code deeper since it's a new bracket format. Eitherway I won't get it up in 1-2 days, also because I don't really want to touch the servers too much this weekend when so much esports is going on. I know DH and IEM Is over but TI (dota2) has another 2 days to go. I'll look at it later this week when I have some time.
In other news, I should be able to push out a new game as well later this week, stay tuned.
|
Proleague games now added. Weird type of brackets so no team scores, but individual scores should be up as the games finish and liquipedia is updated. Sorry about it, I'll see if there's a better way to present it in the future but for this tournament, this will have to do for now.
|
The last 2 games of pro league going on now seem to be missing. I am sorry about it, I don't have time now to check the code but I'll look at it again later tonight.
|
Just pushed out a new update for the client. Included some bug fixes for SC2 but it's a mainly League of Legends patch. Should be helpful for those of you who watch LoL as well. I like how the SC2 and LoL updates come in at the same time, especially with the EU LCS and SC2 The Big One going on at the same time. Enjoy!
|
Just noticed that the premier tournaments were missing, it was because the layout on the premier page on wiki was changed and so my parsers couldn't detect go through the new one. I made the changes and they should be fine for now.
In addition, I just wanted to drop a note saying that I'll be on vacation the next 4 weeks. I'm going somewhere where internet is near impossible to get so definitely won't be bringing my laptop with me. I have another week of being online or so to make sure that everything works the way it is now, but once I'm "offline" there won't be anything I can do. Nevertheless, the app and my servers should still function fine as they are, so go ahead and enjoy. Any additional features to the app will have to wait till the end of August.
Thanks all for the downloads, and clicks and messages. I really appreciate it. I see my logs everyday and I'm glad that people are finding the app useful. Enjoy the summer, and see you guys in a month.

Not fully online per say but managed to be back to my laptop and checked the logs. Glad to know that the servers ran surprisingly smoothly and that some of you still find the app useful. There was just one breaking bug which prevented some GSL games from updating. I just made a quick bugfix and the games should appear now. I should at least be able to monitor and correct any major bugs daily from now.
|
Found a bug which prevented WCS Europe games from being parsed, sorry about it. Just corrected it, should work fine now.
|
Glad to see many of you using it the past few days for IEM Toronto. Really glad that the servers are working fine. However they have started to slightly go past the free limits that were given to me so before I add any features I would like to reduce those first. I have been working on the backend to see how best to reduce the server loads and with the latest update I think it should be fine. I'll continue to monitor the backend today. The next feature that I'll be looking into adding is the ability to view the group tables. I think that should be interesting. Especially for big tournaments like DH coming up.
|
Wow, some of the changes really reduced the load on the servers, quite happy with the result. I'll monitor it through the next few days and work to get up the group table display. I hope to have it up before DH Moscow next weekend. Stay tuned.
|
Made a fairly mad dash to incorporate the group tables. I pushed a new version out earlier (1.9.1) and looks live on google play. Feel free to make an update to see group tables for the tournaments if available. I'll monitor it over the next few days as usual to make sure that there are no major bugs.
|
Downloaded the app, will check it out!
|
Thanks Glorfindel.
Groups look fine from my end. Don't see any major problems. This should be the last SC2-related feature in a while. I would like to improve a little the Dota 2 side, especially to include the group tables as well. I think it's a little more relevant for Dota 2 since they have tables involving more than 4 players more often.
Thank you guys so much for the downloads, messages, and using the app. It's what is keeping me going with this project.
|
Just pushed out a new version cleaning up some bugs that I found while trying it out on my friend's slower phone. Nothing too major at the moment.
|
Groups seem to be working fine for DH. Pretty happy about its stability considering the amount of groups in the group stages for DH. I'll want to change the way the data is being sent at some point, but that'll be for later work. I'm just glad some of you are using the app to keep up with your favourite players' games in Moscow at the moment.
|
I pushed out a new version an hour or so back. Mainly group tables for the Dota 2 but included a bugfix for SC2. Enjoy. I'll probably focus a bit more on Dota 2 before looking over the whole application again. They could use match details such as hero picks and stuff, similar to what I have currently for SC2 in terms of mappicks.
|
Thought I'd drop some news on this project. I have a few small bugs I would like to iron out before pushing out a new update, probably tomorrow or later in the next few days. Nothing too major but still would like to correct them. I've been working on the other 2 available games but at some point in the very near future I would like to look at updating the entire user interface. I know it's not very pretty at the moment and would like to improve that. Google is releasing their new OS within the next few months which gives very strong support to UI design. I expect to jump completely on that bandwagon.
Meanwhile, thanks a lot for the downloads and comments. I see the numbers growing everyday, it's so cool.
|
Totally forgot about DH this weekend. I don't want to disrupt things too much so I think I'll release the latest patch once the tournament is over. Nothing too much, mainly for the Dota 2 users.
