Fun fact... there are 36,006 total players that I've detected that have played in competitive Tekken 8 tournaments! That's actually not too bad of a size.

The matte white would look excellent!

Also worth noting - I calculate based on set wins, not match wins, so if you go 3/2 vs 3/1 vs 3/0, the glicko2 differential is the same.

Next steps are going to be prettying-up the interface, including match data (which I've already stored some basic information), and name searching so you don't need to use the slug.

Next up I think will be a private API that I can interact with (partially to help clean up and prevent SQL shenanigans) to drive the front-end.

One thing I noticed pretty quick is that start.gg only returns up to 1000 entries per call, so I'll need to convert a lot of my calls to paginated API calls to handle this - that's something that's on my to-do list. If anyone can recommend an elegant solution please let me know!

Once I have parsed the JSON to grab all the user IDs and their associated tournament sets, I go through and issue another API call per-set to get each slot's uID, winner status, and number of wins. My next step data-wise is to pass this through to a database (MariaDB maybe?) to store.
