Discord: Draft stats @ @

[datDota @datDota]

Recently upgraded servers to a new Ryzen 9 3900 setup and doubled up total RAM and storage.

Key cause for upgrade was increased performance needs (especially with the AD sub-site), but also a postgres 13 upgrade, a better backup solution, and general hardware replacement.

A bit of downtime - adding some new data tracking before TI starts!

[datDota @datDota]

Once the BetBoom Dacha ticket has been released we'll move the games (currently played on the EPL World Series: SEA ticket) over.

[datDota @datDota]

Sorry, had some unexpected downtime on @windrunio earlier today.

[datDota @datDota]

Sorry we just had some downtime as one particularly long game was unable to parse within a threshold and was killing the RAM usage.

@Dota_Science @Noxville @LGDgaming @virtuspro @Team__Spirit Updated elo32 btw

[datDota @datDota]

Did some maintenance tonight:
[Pro stats + AD stats]
* Added 7.30 (abilities/spells/talents)
* Fixed up three older broken games (if you notice stats Δ1)

[AD]
* Retro-added 7.29d
* Fix for parsers just dying
* Leaderboard # games req. dropped to 150 (from 75th percentile)

[datDota @datDota]

Replay parser bug fixed up, should be caught up in a few minutes.

Overall data quality this year has been pretty good - only 19 missing/broken replays (out of 2987 games, so 0.63% error rate).

[datDota @datDota]

Due to a bug in clarity related to the new patch, there might be a delay in parsing games with match_id >=
6055758217.

Will try get the issue fixed upstream but could take a day or so - then will catch up missing games.

Pesky undecodable teams!

[datDota @datDota]

Mostly caught up with the AD backlog. Ended up not just throwing more hardware at it, but also rewriting the parser manager to be quite a bit more efficient.

Popularity is skyrocketing.

Currently ~4k in the queue (although ~500 of them are too recently received to be parsed).

[datDota @datDota]

@arian_taheri Popularity in China mostly, apparently the top streamers are all playing it at the moment.

[datDota @datDota]

Due to the super high load in Ability Draft, we've got a bit behind (~55k) in matches.

As a result we've just tripled the number of parsers running and underlying IO/compute resources. Will see if this makes a dent on the backlog.

[datDota @datDota]

There's some Steam API issue on some endpoints we use (GetMatchDetails specifically).

This is affecting pro matches, but not Ability Draft ones (we only get basic data for Ability Draft games) - so pro matches will be delayed for a bit.

[Ben Steenhuisen @Noxville]

Valve configured their missing CDNs, so some replays are available from the affected EU regions - but sadly some are lost.

Of pro matches that's 18 missing. I spoke to the CEO at my work (@BayesEsports) and he was okay with me ingesting the match data from our db - huge props!

[datDota @datDota]

Users have increasingly been asking for a way to donate to the site - and whilst the costs are not that high to run the site (<$150/mo), I finally got round to setting up a Ko-Fi page so people who are interested to drop a few dollars when they want.

This should also satisfy replay + audio storage needs for the next ~3 years, and give room for Source 1 commentary audio.

On the Ability Draft side we'll be announcing something soon™

If you notice anything weird on either the main site or https://t.co/bRmePboUxc poke us!

[DoctorHeckle @DoctorHeckle]

Spent the last week or so on a passion project: a high level, game-play independent, player-centric rating system for @DOTA2 based on historical performance, based off of @datDota 's Professional + Premium games dataset. This spans from May 2012 to end of December 2020.

[Ben Steenhuisen @Noxville]

Earlier today, Aster took on IG.Vitality in what was the 50,000th professional game played of Dota 2.

Let's look back at some numbers over that time ...

[datDota @datDota]

After introducing the bug ~16 months ago, I've finally fixed the one random query endpoint which effectively acts as a memory leak - slowly killing the server.

Annoying that a single borked line can create so much chaos!
