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.

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.

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

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

⚠️ 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 ⚠️

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
