Matches & Data
Where does PixelForge get match data?
We use the PandaScore API, a professional esports data provider, to fetch match schedules, results, team information, and player statistics.
How often is match data updated?
Match data is fetched in real-time from PandaScore. Live match scores and statuses are updated as events happen.
Why is a match missing or showing incorrect information?
Occasionally, there may be delays or discrepancies in data from our data provider. If you notice persistent issues, please contact us and we'll investigate.
Can I see past match results?
Yes! You can view completed matches with final scores. Navigate to the main dashboard and look for the "Past Matches" or "Completed" sections.
Live Streams
How do live streams work on PixelForge?
We embed official live streams from platforms like Twitch and YouTube directly on match pages. The streams play in an embedded player, so you can watch while viewing match information.
Why is the stream not loading?
Stream availability depends on the broadcasting platform and event organizers. Some possible reasons: the stream hasn't started yet, it ended, or there are regional restrictions. Try switching to an alternative stream source if available.
The stream doesn't work in Brave Browser. Why?
Twitch embeds have known compatibility issues with Brave Browser due to its privacy features. We recommend using Chrome, Safari, or Firefox for the best experience, or switching to a YouTube stream if available.
Can I watch streams in fullscreen?
Yes! Each embedded player has a fullscreen button. Click it to expand the stream to fullscreen mode.
Privacy & Data
Does PixelForge collect my personal data?
No. We do not require accounts, and we do not collect personal information. Some basic technical data (like IP addresses) may be logged for security purposes. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
Do you use cookies?
We use minimal cookies for session preferences. However, embedded content from Twitch and YouTube may set their own cookies according to their privacy policies.
Do you sell user data?
Absolutely not. We do not sell, share, or monetize any user data.
