The Rebrand

14th December 2021

What changed

Not much, is the short answer. We've changed our name from Playerbase to Squadgrid, created a new logo and moved domains to squadgrid.com. We feel that the new name better represents what the website is about and the direction that we are heading in the future.

What happened to your account

Nothing has changed with your account. You'll still be able to login using the same details or linked Steam account that you could before the rebrand.

The Reddit edit

29th June 2017

Fixes

Date of birth field not showing date picker for some browsers - This was affecting browsers that don't support the HTML5 date picker, most notably Firefox. A backup date picker has now been added.

Online between times - Different times were showing up on both the profile page and on player search results. It appears there were some conversion issues happening which should now be fixed.

Changes

Improved Login and Create Account screens - The login and create account screens have been simplified, login with Steam is now the prominent option and there are no more unnecessary titles. Creating an account when signing in with Steam now has password and email fields hidden by default as they are not required.

Siltbreaker game type - You can now add Siltbreaker as one of your game type interests, as well as being able to filter for players with Siltbreaker selected.

Server regions added - China Telecom, China Unicom

Languages added - Albanian, Arabic, Belarusian, Bengali, Bosnian, Burmese, Croatian, Estonian, Filipino, Georgian, Gujarati, Hebrew, Hindi, Icelandic, Indonesian, Kazakh, Khmer, Kiswahili, Latvian, Lebanese, Lithuanian, Macedonian, Malay, Maldivian, Maltese Mongolian, Nepali, Pashto, Persian, Serbian, Sinhalese, Slovak, Slovene, Tamil, Urdu, Vietnamese

Communication methods added - Twitch app

New things

Personality traits - You can now add personality traits to your player profile as well as filtering for players with your preferred traits from: Alpha, Chill, Encouraging, Forgiving, Friendly, Fun, Joker Loud, Positive, Quiet, Serious, Talkative, Tryhard.

Play styles - You can now add play styles to your Dota 2 profile as well as filtering for players with your preferred play styles from: Aggressive, Early pressure, Flexible, Ganker, Looking to improve, Playmaker, Plays for fun, Plays to win, Roamer.

MMR verification - When you save your Dota 2 profile MMR verification will be attempted, one of the following things will happen:

  • MMR verified - If your MMR is verified your profile will show a check_circle as well as on search results and player suggestions
  • MMR verified against estimate - If your MMR is verified against an estimate your profile will show a check_circle as well as on search results and player suggestions
  • MMR didn't match - The MMR you entered didn't match your actual MMR, or your actual MMR hasn't yet been updated
  • MMR not available - Your party or solo MMR isn't set on your in-game Dota 2 profile
  • MMR verification failed - Something went wrong during verification

Actual MMR figures available thanks to the OPENDOTA API.

Unranked MMR option - There is now an unranked check box next to the MMR field, for those of you yet to calibrate but still looking for players.

Additional country filter - There is now an 'Other country' drop down list that you can use to filter if your country isn't available as a check box option.

Additional language filter - There is now an 'Other language' drop down list that you can use to filter if your language isn't available as a check box option.
