We have been working on what was supposed to be a small UI refresh with @hfcred.dev since December but it got way out of hand. In the end it's a full re-imagining of the whole interface with several highly requested features.
Leading up to the launch I will highlight one feature a day!
#sendouink

Any opinions what I should do with map/mode bans for SQ Season 11? As a reminder TW/SZ have all maps legal and TC/RM/CB have some bans but...
1) since SQ launch map quality improved with some updates
2) we anyway have teams picking maps
Is the whole banning now redundant?
#sendouink
Here are the planned changes to Plus Server and Season Finale for next season that starts next week.
#sendouink
Added a new user profile widget: in-game badges! Show off 4 (side widget) or 8 (main widget) of your favorites.
#sendouink
Pools vs. Invite Link for SQ/tournaments
Which do you prefer? I've been thinking and I could see:
- if invite link sent to chat, make it an always visible clickable link
- qr code to quick access with mobile
- tournament remember invite link from previous rounds

Pushed some internal rework to forms. If anything weird especially for VoD, scrims, build or associations schema let me know. It was a some amount of changes so possible something broke.
Unrelated but tournament streams same thing.
#sendouink
Update about slowness with Low Ink yesterday. Root cause is some library updates I had to do which sadly come with some performance regressions.
I found a quick win that makes the tournament API 2x faster. This is now deployed and for future I have other performance optimization ideas.
#sendouink
Should I make it that we can make adjustments to ranked matches after locking them. Namely: mod changing SQ wrong reported match, adjusting ranked tournament rosters, invalidating matches boosted w/ new acc.
Upside: more accurate ranks
Downside: "random" losing/gaining points
Thoughts?
#sendouink

Today's update has a bigger reworking of SendouQ serverside logic. Main goals are to improve performance, maintainability of the code and fix the rare logic issues where e.g. you might end up in a group with 5 players or two matches at the same time.
Let me know if any problems!

In today's update LFG posts now have a "languages" field of their own. This is useful if you for example can speak English and don't mind doing it for SendouQ pick-ups but for your team's recruitment post you want to focus on specific language.
