Frequently asked questions

What does the Watchability Score mean?

The score runs from 0 to 100 and measures a completed game's entertainment value. Higher scores are stronger replay recommendations, not predictions.

Is this spoiler-free?

Yes. These pages show watchability ratings, not final match scores or winners, so you can choose a replay without learning the result.

How often do rankings update?

Rankings update when newly completed games receive published Watchability Scores. Existing scores remain unchanged; there is no guaranteed update time.
