Knew I forgot something but also for your friends it also shows if they are currently playing a SQ match or tournament

Updates - instant SQ looking updates (old 30s interval) - split chat group/match, see both at the same time - tier list maker click to add mode (new default) - "is captain" filter option on tournament team export - fix crash for RR tournaments w/ certain settings + other tweaks & fixes #sendouink

easily my 2nd most worked on video ever. total time spent editing was around 18 hours. I hope you guys enjoy the video youtu.be/CPgVHUzixaA

To people who use tier list maker: would this feature be useful? Allow to toggle "click mode" where you can just click click click weapons to tiers. #sendouink

In The Zone 52 is happening this Saturday! Register now here: sendou.ink/to/3913/regi... SZ only Double elimination 1PM ET / 7PM CET

Making a new page aimed for newcomers to the scene that goes over the jargon and breaks down how to really get started. Does anyone have a photo they took at a LAN I could use for ✨inspirational✨ hero image. Perfect shot I'm imagining: no faces showing, game in the bg, audience or players included

Problem with playing tournaments is that I notice so many small issues and bugs that are too small for a normal user to report that it just right away blows up my TODO list.

Triton 6th place! Was fun ggs everyone I played

Close enough welcome back Koopa Clan

This is from a few days ago but having had some time to monitor it recent DB setting updates to use memory more efficiently had a massive boost at peak response time. Up to 30x faster. + tournaments are back on the front page + you can view tournament registration page as non-captain. #sendouink

Big one today! - 🆕 params page (compare, patch history...) - Abilities in tier list maker - Special character selection IGN (by hfcRed) - Simplified match page, pool/pass always visible - Auto-remove scrim requests around same time after accepting - External streams in sidebar e.g. NAL #sendouink

Three new features today! 1) (supporter only) upload avatar to use instead of the discord avatar 2) team custom roles & member ordering 3) new preference setting: default match page tab (rosters/join/action) #sendouink

Did you know you can install sendou ink as an app to your home screen? Now there is a banner on the front page instructing you how (or doing it for you for supported browsers) + made elim brackets more compact when R1 has a lot of byes + improved forms performance + other minor fixes #sendouink

Full screen would have been funny but the browser support is 😵 Anyway I think what it does now is better because it will let you utilize the full potential of your screen estate without you having to press or do something specific!

Couple new flows for TO's: 1) Helpdesk post without team mentioned again? Just copy their Discord ID and find the team with that using the search 2) Easily copy teams over from a qualifier event to the final 3) Gaining visibility into teams who unregistered or players who joined (verification)

Just released a tournament layout refresh with new features especially for organizers: - bracket now utilizes full screen real estate - TO can add pickup logo - new table based edit team layout - export teams w/ selected format & fields - audit log - import team from another event #sendouink

Might play with it more later but here is what i'm thinking rn

On vacation next week so also have more time to work on sendou ink. If anything you think I should work on (big or small, features or bugs/issues) don't hesitate to let me know 💪 Either here or the Discord #sendouink

What I was thinking of trying out was this Discord inspired "pop-up" when clicking user e.g. on SQ looking UI that collects different data points that might be correlated with the player skill. So not one metric to rule them all but show several that together might serve as a strong indicator.

Tournament bracket full screen 🤔

What in the world was that race

I coach Healthy Diet Food Groups now (More educational content) youtu.be/zrsYDk17OeQ

Working on improving tournament UI and making tournament organizer experience more streamlined (more info available, more options, less clicks..). If any feedback related to those topic perfect time to share your opinion either here or on the Discord feedback thread. #sendouink

In personal news have a new job starting next month which I'm quite excited about. Definitely a step up in terms of how demanding it is but the domain is super super cool. Stayed at my current project for 5 years so was about time for a change.

Quick update to the graphic as there were a few errors. Here is the updated graphic! Thank you for letting us know and feel free to do so in the future. We strive for accuracy. Full sheet coming soon!

Season 12 has started! Play SendouQ and ranked tournaments to climb the ranks and qualify for Season Finale tournament ($500) in August and Plus Server. Get started here: sendou.ink/q #sendouink

SendouQ opens again tomorrow! New this season: if a weapon in your pool is marked as favorite AND you have reached top 100 in Tentatek or top 500 in Takoroka with it, it will be marked with blue/purple BG. This indicates to others you have some experience with it beyond "trust me bro" #sendouink

Season 12 planned dates Season start - Monday 1st June In The Zone 52 - Saturday 27th June In The Zone 53 - Saturday 1st August Season end - Sunday 23rd August Season Finale - Saturday 29th August #sendouink

It was a bug related to the changes I made how dropped teams contribute to standings. Sorry about the inconvenience! Should be all fixed now.

Today's update added a new optional mode to scrims. Enter any map pool from /maps or search for tournament. Then play on an infinite map list and see your performance for the scrim! Replay, pick any map and change map list at any time. If both teams choose a list, union of them is used. #sendouink

thought it would be a good one and it was: 7 games of ezmd vs the avengers (xerces kenshin takobon fumitoshi) from sendouq season 11 finale played off stream youtu.be/DxR8wDCrX5g

SendouQ S11 Finale tournament is just 20 minutes away. Top teams from the Season 11 Will be streamed by IPL as usual: www.twitch.tv/iplsplatoon #sendouink

In today's update: - unified /q/settings and /settings. Previously the match profile as it is called now was a bit hidden especially now that it is used in other places than just SQ - better long team name handling in tournaments - EU flag as option #sendouink

Don't miss the conclusion of SendouQ Season 11, covered by some incredible talent! #compsplatoon @thoma.inkling.social @falcoflyer.bsky.social @kbot273.bsky.social @rissahi.bsky.social 🎥 @pipedreamdx.com Tune in tomorrow morning at 10am PT!

The focus on team branding being the key to raise spectator interest in Splatoon context is interesting. I imagine it comes from watching other established esports and how they operate. But this is not an established esports. The constraints are very different.

The SendouQ Season Finale is once again partnering with AREA CUP to bring you the best Splatoon in the west casted in Japanese! #compsplatoon Please tune in this Saturday May 23rd @ 10am PT / 1pm ET / 7pm CEST / 2am+1 JST at splatzonejp on YouTube! 🎙 @hemicha.bsky.social & Razzy 🎥 DaiP

Thoughts on optional mode for /scrims where you can enter the map list of one team or both teams and report score as if it was a never ending tournament match based on the maplist it creates? Then it would show you a summary at the end of your best / worst maps etc.

I have been working on performance recently and today had some pretty nice gains for builds related server code. 3x more efficient in common paths and up to 15x on less common paths! + improved localized date time logic. Now it uses your browser language and should be more consistent. #sendouink

SendouQ Season 11 Finale Qualifier is now live! 🎙️ @sasuinurpants.bsky.social & @roseofbattle.com 🟣 twitch.tv/iplsplatoon 🔴 youtube.com/@IPLSplatoon

PRAGMA optimize; Basically record information about the data to optimize queries. Except in this one case the extra information caused the query planner to drastically choose the suboptimal plan making the query get 520x times slower Databases are cool but scary

Splatoon popping off in Singapore 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Too bad they have 0% solve rate with bot captchas Anyway this got me distracted from the real root cause of the website crashes in the past day. Real reason seems to be DB call hanging on tournament finalization. I now disabled it temporarily. #sendouink

Since the season is ending this weekend one more reminder how it works this time around: - SQ Finale Qualifier TOMORROW, top 4 teams advance to Finale - In addition top 12 teams from leaderboard advance to Finale - Finale acts as a qualifier to Global Gauntlet #2 #sendouink

I've been focused on various bug fixes/tweaks. Most not really worth mentioning as they are minor or fixing very rare crashes except: - Adding Splatnet link to chat should now generate the QR (and make the link clickable) - Fixed tournament bracket/match pages not auto-updating #sendouink

⚠️ important info ⚠️ Top 3 from SQ Finale qualify for Global Gauntlet #2! To qualify (qualifyception) to SQ Finale you need either 1) Top 12 from the leaderboard (same old method) 2) Top 4 in SQ Finale qualifier this Sat ⚠️ 7 SQ sets needed to be able to play SQ Finale qualifier ⚠️ #sendouink

For what it is lacking the core data gathering functionality of the official tournament manager is awesome. Still have all the stats from 2023 viewable. Makes me think (wish) how it could work in cooperation with sendou.ink just because having automatically all replays and stats would be so cool

With the Plus Server voting starting a couple reminders: 1) How votes are processed is changed as communicated earlier 2) In one week there is SQ Finale qualifier that is alternative way to qualify other than the leaderboard! Every member needs 7 SQ sets played this season #sendouink

New match page update (SQ/tournaments/scrims) is live now! If you find any issues or even something working a bit funny let me know and I will take a look. #sendouink

This last month I have been working on a full reworking of the match page! Familiar look but with new often requested additions 💠 unified look SQ/tournament/scrims (and future features 👀) 💠 new SQ rejoin q flow 💠 weapon reporting for tournaments 💠 splatnet join link w/ qr's and more! #sendouink

Happy birthday sendou.ink! 🍾🎉 7 years ago I made the first commit to my university project. I don't think I would have expected to keep working on it almost every single day for the next 7 years :) Here's for 7 more? Thank you every user along the way! It's been nothing but fun. #sendouink

Today's update: Date format preference (DD/MM/YYYY or YYYY-MM-DD) and pagination for vods (before it just used to not show all vods if there were too many with the filter....) Also random bug fixes and tweaks as always. #sendouink
