Crunch Link Alpha Goes live

Key Notes: The API we use to get Valorant data is down, so match/game data is offline, we’re working to find a long-term situation to avoid further dependencies on this.

Live Features:

  • Database - Covering Games, matches, players, tournaments, locations (regions, venues), teams, organizations, and many other key data points for the scene

  • Link server - Allowing us to fetch all of the details from the database, add data points, query the Riot API, and other basic functions.

    • Liquipedia API - Lets us fetch Liquipedia tournament meta-data and quickly create tournament pages

  • Basic UI/Frontend - Despite the outages of APIs we use, we still have the basic server-loaded site up. Letting you get an idea of what Link is going to look like when it’s done

  • Basic Backend - While not visible to the public, this is what has let us our talented staff team get the various matches and games up to the Link server.

Event Coverage:

  • 1 month of Liquipedia event data added (Matches to be added after API is online again)

  • Spike Drop 4 Series added
