Since I'm involved in this for some reason now, let's talk about LiveAPI
Disclaimer: unlike what the quoted tweet says, I do not work for EA. I'm collaborating with them for ALGS stats, but the network diagram quoted is mine and not EA architecture.

The tech behind ALGS <> ALS, a thread
I promised a quick behind the scenes on how things have been working to make ALGS stats available to you, so here it is!
➡️ Data source
Data is coming from the in-game LiveAPI 2.0, sending in-game events live to ALS.

The IP in question is a scanner that crawls the entire internet all day long (stretchoid); similar to censys or shodan.
That IP has nothing to do with what happened during NA finals. (how is that not blocked before reaching his computer is an other question)

I didn't anticipate the amount of final ring data there is for other maps, like World's Edge HU.
Things are getting messy, and that's not even half of the WE games being displayed there. Sample size is around 3.5k games.
At least, it shows you the potential of this data 👀

I've started working on "DGS Atlas", an anonymized aggregation of all tournaments sent to DGS.
Mostly made for analysts, goal is to provide all rings locations, % of drops per POI, heatmap depending on zone pull, weapons stats etc.
With a 10k game sample, there is potential 1/2

Atlas lite will be released later today - this is just the beginning, since zone pulls were the most requested.
In the near future you'll be able to assign colors to rings dynamically based on your own dates, instead of seasons only.

Happy to see some custom DGS overlays in PL :)

Over the last years/months, numerous companies have inquired about buying ALS (and I always declined).
The worst of those companies are the ones trying to intimidate you. "See that EA is doing X, that might be bad for Y on ALS. Sell it to us before it's too late?😃"

Today is ALS 5th Anniversary.
What started as a joke about servers being always down when the game released is now one of the most used Apex related website, covering stats, status, ALGS, tournament tools, APIs and so many other things.
What a journey. ❤️

The app is now fully done on the Android side - still a few tweaks needed for the iOS part.
Flutter is cool to have a shared code base, but you still need some platform-specific code for privacy settings & widgets.
Should be pushed to the playstore/appstore on Saturday for beta

First look at the "Live view" feature of DGS 2.0.
It will show health/shield for each player, kills/assists/knocks/damage taken & dealt and the current weapon or ability + live map.
That outlines a few bugs, but it's really cool to see it in action for the first time 🥳

For analysts that follows me, reminder that you can view the pathing for a team in ALGS games by clicking the map icon next to players names.
A lot of people ignore this, and it's easier than drawing it from VOD review 😎

Fun fact: ALS gets EWC games 5mins early. There is no delay feature in public DGS (only on the ALGS version).
so.. I have to drag games manually each time to the public group after a 6mins delay.
Imagine my joy after seeing we're going for a 12th game. 🥲

We're connected to Galen Center ✅
Like previous LANs, stats/analysis will be available instantly once the game ends on DGS. There shouldn't be any delay if everything goes right :)
Tests are all ok, see you on first game 🫡

With Apex adding a websockets API for customs, I've started working on the backend side for ALS.
This will essentially add a live view of DGS while the game is being played (w/ configurable delay) and avoid TOs having to manually upload JSON files.

Sometimes, I'm writing lines of PHP at midnight, and realize I've been doing this on Apex for more than 5 years, and it quite literally changed my life
I've met dozens of incredible players, employees that always have a kind message, and I'm life "thank you 🥲"

Quite interesting to see how pro teams are controlling buildings in last rings 👀
It's a logical thing to do, yet cool to see Each colored lines represents a team pathing - rings being the white circles.

Quick new overlay coming soon, meant to replace the in-game team stats view.
Through customisation, will allow to show shield/health HP for all players, and also stat of choice (instead of kills only in game)
Coming probably next week :)

Something I really hope we'll see at some point for ALGS is a full stats experience for viewers like this, everything live. You got it, I like stats.
While it doesn't exist yet in ALGS, you'll still be able to do it for your own tournaments in DGS. Coming probably this weekend

With the S20, ALS has beaten a new all-time record!
A few numbers over the last 30 days:
1.58M unique visitors
29.5M page views
162M API requests (both ALS + 3rd party projects)
Countless hours of dev
Apex isn't dead, neither is ALS 😎

It's time to explain what has been going on the past weeks.
Remember DGS?
EMEA and NA Pro League are coming on DGS, same thing with upcoming London LANs.
This will be on a separate DGS-like platform, tuned for DGS. Going to be a good technical challenge.
Coming next week. 👌

2024 is unfortunately probably going to be the year of "patreon is no longer enough to sustain" for ALS.
There will be some other monetization methods through DGS mostly+overwolf app planned later this year, but ALS may not be ads-free indefinitely unless cutting some services

as a side side side project, i'm working on some kind of tool that auto parses the game files after each update and display all raw values of everything we can access from there, show changes between updates etc.
very early stage, not coming anytime soon, but one day it will 🍝
give us a real wiki, give us recoil patters and values and dps numbers and explanations of how evo works and how things spawn and how it’s random and why it’s not random sometimes
i’ll write them for free just pleaseeee let the people who want to learn do so

I've just brought back "Contests" stats for ALGS games, still under testing.
Each - represents a game for a team, where at least one player of the team landed in the zone.
If the team eliminates the other within the zone and before 1st ring closes, ✅ for the winning team.

Can't be 100% sure, but this really looks like ALS being featured there, colors are suspiciously matching 👀

Now that EA has its algs website, it would be an absolute banger to have something like this for ALGS. Add multiview directly on there, and you get a truly amazing viewing experience.
for others, reminder that you can already do it with DGS 😎

I'm really getting tired of people opening support tickets, not saying hello or anything, and be like "???? answer????????" 5 minutes after opening.
Sorry, I have a job, can't answer within 2 mins 😑 That's literally 70% of tickets in the past few weeks.

That also allows to make sure the players are matched to the correct drop zone in the polygons.

This is very unlikely.
I'm not going to go deeper with this as this involves EA/Respawn security at some point and not sure where my legal obligations start, so I'll stop there.
In the end, again: LiveAPI issue is unlikely. Things said in quoted look wrong to me.

Fun fact, the Apex Live API has no msprecision on timestamps - and the "winner determined" event is fired before player stats events.
This caused some issues on ALGS stats yesterday on NA & EMEA with a missing kill for each winning team.
Should be fixed for today :)
