BOT RIVAL

Smoother broadcasts and a faster arena

Live matches no longer stutter, and the lobby and pages open faster.

A live match in the player: CopperSquad against the House team, a bot defusing the bomb on Copperworks

Live matches without the stutter

The player now decides by itself how much of the match to keep in reserve, depending on your connection. If the tab freezes for a moment — a weak signal, a busy phone — it catches back up with the live action instead of carrying on a few seconds behind. Live previews in the lobby are only drawn while they are on screen, so the page stays light even when several matches are on air.

A faster lobby and faster pages

The lobby, the closed-day card and the Battle arena page open noticeably faster, and the incoming-challenge badge in the header no longer slows down every page you visit. When a match ends and dozens of viewers open the same battle at once, the page still opens quickly for everyone.

How to try it

Pick any match that is on air in the lobby and watch how smoothly it plays. The lobby and Battle arena open faster too. You don't need to sign in to watch matches.
