Frequently Asked Questions
Why is there no Youtube option for VODs?
We offer VODs for both platforms, but we are reliant on the official VODs. Most of the Esport tournaments
are broadcasted on Twitch and often organizers post Youtube vods with a delay, or some never even post them
on the Youtube.
Generally, we prioritize Youtube videos due to the superior video player. If you found Youtube VODs of
a tournament and they are not published on our website, please do contact us on the Discord and we wil
add them.
Why is there a black bar blocking part of the player?
Black bars are used to prevent spoilers. Both Twitch and Youtube have various ways to spoil the match with their UI components. Youtube allows to disable UI, but still shows recommended videos popup, which we block with a black bar. Twitch does not allow to disable UI so we block time remaining until the end of the match.
Why are you not covering X tournament or Y Esport?
All the work on the web is done manually and requires more manhours than you would think. Therefore
we are forced to choose which tournaments we cover. If you believe some tournament should be covered
but isn't, then you are free to come to Discord and plead you case.
Eventually we hope to automate the data entry to high enough degree that we can cover most of the Esport.
Why are you not covering 'this big' tournament?
Having VODs is very much dependant on the organizer themselves. Sometimes they suffer technical difficulties and they lose their VODs. Sometimes they forget to record the VODs. Sometimes they refuse to publish VODs. Most common reason is that they simply don't cover all the matches they organize. This is very common in big tournaments in small esports where they don't have enough casters to cover all of the matches.
Link leads to incorrect match or the times of match start are incorrect!
Please contact me on Discord and I will try to fix it asap. We are also working on bug report functionality so you don't have to use Discord if you don't want to.
There is a massive in-game pause, how do I skip it?
Sadly, due to the fact that video player progress bar often spoils the matches we had to disable it. In it's place
we have buttons to skip time but it is not as good to skip longer portions of a VOD.
We are woking on a feature that allow you to skip the pauses to hopefully making the viewing experience better.
If you do find any massive in-game pause, please report it on Discord.
Can I see chat like on the Twitch and Youtube VOD system?
Currently we do not show chat on the vods. If you feel like they would enchance the viewing experience, suggest it on Discord and if enough people are interested we will add it.
I want to help add videos?
If you want to help, currently the only way is to post timestamps in the Discord and I will use them to publish vods faster.
