UI Design Ideas

• Score display: Show map-by-map (Map 1: 16-13, Map 2: 13-16, Map 3: 16-10 = 2-1)
• Team branding: Use /teams/{id}/image — org logos are central to esports identity
• Playoff brackets: Critical for tournament UIs — use /knockout
• Stream links: Show Twitch/YouTube links prominently — use /match/{id}/channels
• Map veto: CS2 map pick/ban — check /match/{id}/incidents
• Player IGN: Players known by in-game name (s1mple, Faker), not real name
• 24/7 schedule: Always show timezone — matches run around the clock
• H2H records: Very important — use /match/{id}/h2h
