Changelog

Last updated: September 24, 2026

September 2026

  1. scenario of the week and overlay

    September 24, 2026

    New

    • The stream overlay now uses your profile's avatar ring, and its theme mode picks up your card color and text casing.

    Fixes

    • Scenario of the week now counts every run you play that week, not only new personal bests.
    • The stream overlay's spinning border and slide animations now work on systems with "reduce motion" turned on.
    • Glass and frosted overlay cards now show your stream through them, like the lower-third bar does.

    and some quality-of-life changes.

  2. one match at a time

    September 24, 2026

    Fixes

    • In tournament rounds played one match at a time, matches waiting their turn now show as queued instead of ready, and the round-wide pick & ban button is gone there.

  3. editing duos

    September 24, 2026

    New

    • Hosts can edit a whole duo in one place: rename it, pick the captain, swap a player out and set Aimlabs names, from "Edit duo" in the participants list.
    • Duo check-in is tracked per player, so hosts can see which teammate has checked in and which is still missing.

    Fixes

    • The bracket of an upcoming tournament is shown before it starts, instead of empty slots until start time.
426 earlier updates

September 2026

  1. tournament rules and overlay

    September 24, 2026

    New

    • A tournament's rules now split each best-of-3 or best-of-5 pick & ban into games, and mark the games only played if the series is still open.
    • The bracket stream overlay shows the seeded bracket before the tournament starts, instead of a standby card.

    Fixes

    • Saving tournament rules no longer leaves the "unsaved changes" bar stuck open.

  2. private tournaments

    September 24, 2026

    New

    • Unlisted tournaments are now private: only the people running them, their players and pick/ban link holders can open them, and their links don't preview in Discord.
    • Players now see the unlisted tournaments they play in on the Tournaments page.
    • Only a duo's captain picks and bans now, so hosts send one pick/ban link per duo.

  3. duo names

    September 23, 2026

    New

    • Duo names are now optional: leave it empty when registering or renaming and your duo goes by both your names.

    Fixes

    • Duo names made from both players no longer get cut off, and typed duo names can be up to 32 characters.
    • The duo captain is now always listed first.

  4. per-player duo options

    September 23, 2026

    New

    • Hosts can now manage each duo player from the row's menu: rename a player without a kova account, set their Aimlabs name, or give them their own pick/ban link.

  5. better player search

    September 23, 2026

    Fixes

    • Searching for a player when adding tournament participants now puts the exact name first, and shows verified, pro and staff badges so you can tell lookalikes apart.

  6. duo names

    September 23, 2026

    New

    • Rename any duo from its menu in the Participants tab. Leave the name empty and it goes by its players, like "Captain & Player 2".
    • A duo name is now optional when adding duos, and a duo whose captain has no kova account gets a private pick & ban link.

    Fixes

    • The player search in Add duos no longer runs off the bottom of the page.

  7. adding duos

    September 23, 2026

    New

    • Add duos to a tournament one at a time: search each player on kova or add them by name, and type in their Aimlabs username so scores are pulled automatically.

    and some quality-of-life changes.

  8. pick & ban overlay

    September 23, 2026

    New

    • When every map is drafted before play, the pick & ban stream overlay now shows the whole lineup side by side, highlights the map being played and fills in each winner.

  9. pick your streamed rounds

    September 23, 2026

    New

    • Choose exactly which tournament rounds are played one match at a time: tick them under Matches in a round in the Format tab. The rest open every match together.

    Fixes

    • The bracket overlay's winners now use your custom accent color instead of always showing green.

    and some quality-of-life changes.

  10. streamed tournament rounds

    September 23, 2026

    New

    • Tournaments can play the first round all at once and every round after it one match at a time, so an open first round can lead into a streamed bracket. Pick "After round 1" under Matches in a round in the Format tab.

  11. faster tournament setup

    September 23, 2026

    New

    • Paste a whole scenario pool at once as CSV or JSON: each row names its group, category and task, and missing groups and categories are created for you. Find it under Paste list in a tournament's Scenarios tab.

    Fixes

    • A custom accent color on the stream overlays now actually recolors them.
    • Before the bracket is drawn, the preview no longer shows a third-place match when it is turned off.

    and some quality-of-life changes.

  12. tournament polish

    September 23, 2026

    New

    • Tournament pages show the game's icon next to its name.

    Fixes

    • Adding people under Hosts & staff now finds aimgroups too, whatever role is picked, so a team can be made the host.
    • The third-place match on the stream bracket overlay no longer has a line running along its edge.

    and some quality-of-life changes.

  13. tournament hosts

    September 23, 2026

    New

    • Hand a tournament to another host: in its dashboard, open People and pick "Make primary host" on any co-host. Tournaments run by two teams can now show both.
    • Custom tournament hosts can have their own icon, set next to the host name in Dashboard → Tournaments → Details.

    Fixes

    • Tournament cards show the whole prize pool instead of just first place.
    • The third-place match in a bracket no longer has a line running over it.

    and some quality-of-life changes.

  14. unlisted tournaments

    September 23, 2026

    New

    • Unlisted tournaments now show on the Tournaments page for their hosts, co-hosts, organizers and referees, marked "Unlisted". Everyone else still only finds them by link.

  15. profile music volume

    September 23, 2026

    New

    • Profile music has a volume slider and a mute button: hover the music player in the corner, or scroll over it. Your level is remembered on every profile you visit.

  16. profile fixes

    September 23, 2026

    Fixes

    • The last comment on a profile no longer stays blank until you scroll the list.
    • Hovering your profile card no longer cuts off its edges, and the holo shine is subtler.
    • Short song names in the profile music player stay still instead of scrolling.

  17. three new profile cards

    September 23, 2026

    New

    • Your shareable profile card comes in three designs: Spec sheet, Trading card and Player license. Pick yours with the switch above the card at kova.page/you/card.
    • Cards now show your benchmark rank, with "Complete" when you’ve finished the ladder.
    • Copy card copies the design you picked, so the image you share looks exactly like the card on the page.

  18. tournament fixes

    September 23, 2026

    Fixes

    • Turning on check-in while creating a tournament now actually saves, instead of switching itself off.

    The third-place match in a bracket that isn’t seeded yet now sits in its own column, and tournament status labels are capitalized.

  19. a new Feed

    September 23, 2026

    New

    • The Feed has a fresh look: rank-ups glow in the rank’s own color and show the PB behind them, and PBs line up in a proper table.
    • Every PB in the Feed shows your own score on that scenario and a "Beat it" button that launches it straight in KovaaK’s.
    • Get told when someone you follow passes your score on a scenario, with a button to take it back.
    • Filter the Feed to just PBs, rank-ups, gear, clips or forum questions.
    • A "Last week, in your circle" recap sits at the top of the Feed: most PBs, best benchmark placement and who ranked up.
    • The Feed sidebar shows your own week of PBs and your team’s scenario of the week with the standings.
    • Anything posted since your last visit is marked as new, so you can see where you left off.

    Fixes

    • Changing your game settings no longer stacks a pile of "Settings saved" notifications.

    and some quality-of-life changes to the Forum.

  20. a new forum

    September 23, 2026

    New

    • The Forum has a cleaner look: each question shows the asker’s rank, sens and mouse right on the board, with Latest, Top, Unanswered and Solved tabs.
    • Posts can now carry a scenario with the rank ladder and a Play button, a KovaaK’s playlist, one of your PBs or your benchmark progress. Pick them from the new buttons above the text box.
    • Replies now show as threads under the answer they’re about, so you can follow a back-and-forth at a glance.
    • Mention someone with @ and they get a notification.
    • Add a poll to your question, and select any text in a post to quote it in your answer.
    • Tag gear in a sentence, attach a crosshair or theme from your assets, and paste a Twitch or Medal clip to play it in the post.

  21. the bracket overlay when a whole round plays at once

    September 23, 2026

    New

    • When a whole round is played at once, the bracket overlay says "8 live" on the round instead of tagging every match, and the match you picked with "Show on stream" is the one that stands out.
    • With several matches live, the bracket overlay’s bottom bar shows your streamed match with "+7 more live", or cycles through every live match when none is picked.

  22. a new stream overlay

    September 23, 2026

    New

    • Your stream overlay has three layouts to pick from: the card, a slim bar along the bottom of the screen, or Moments, which stays quiet until you set a PB. Find them in Dashboard → Stream overlay.
    • New PBs and rank-ups now pop up on stream as they happen, with how much you improved, your global rank and your trend.
    • Setting it up is one drag: drop the button from Dashboard → Stream overlay into OBS and it arrives named and sized. A light shows when it’s live in OBS.
    • Send a test PB to stream to check your overlay without setting a real one.

    Fixes

    • The bracket line into the final no longer runs through the third-place match.
    • The best score on a tournament’s rules page is readable again.

    and some quality-of-life changes.

  23. tournaments tell you what’s happening

    September 22, 2026

    New

    • Your match is ready, the tournament is live, check-in opened, you placed 3rd: kova now sends each of these as a Discord DM, and the match one links straight into your match with the round and best-of on it.
    • Check-in sends a second reminder just before it closes, and says so afterwards if you missed it and lost your spot.
    • A cancelled or rescheduled tournament now tells everyone who signed up, with the new time as a live countdown.
    • Hosts can run a round one match at a time instead of opening every match at once, under Dashboard → Format. Handy when one stream covers the whole event.
    • Setting up a tournament is one page now instead of four steps, and every tournament picks its game (KovaaK’s or Aimlabs), shown on its card and page.
    • Tournaments can be unlisted: still reachable by link, just not in the tournaments list.

    Fixes

    • Double elimination brackets drew with the losers bracket and grand final already marked done.
    • A match already being played could show as “ready” on the bracket.
    • The bracket overlay showed 1–0 instead of the real scores on single-map matches, and skipped the sudden-death mark.
    • The tab bar on a tournament page no longer slides away when you scroll down.
    • Your Discord name on your profile now updates when you rename yourself on Discord.

    Pictures load a lot smaller on the landing page, team pages and the marketplace, and the tournament dashboard got a cleaner look throughout.

  24. tournaments, part two

    September 22, 2026

    New

    • When it’s your turn in pick & ban, a big card tells you exactly what to ban or pick, you confirm your choice, and you can see what comes next.
    • When your match is ready, the tournament page says so right at the top, with a button straight into it. Check-in gets its own card with a countdown.
    • Stream overlays have a new look: a score bar across the top with player pictures, a pick & ban strip along the bottom that says who is banning what, and the bracket in the same style as the site.
    • The tournament list shows what each one is up to at a glance: the round being played, how long sign-ups have left and how many spots are free.
    • Double elimination tournaments now show their bracket before the draw, too.

    Fixes

    • Brackets on phones no longer cut team names off. Swipe sideways between rounds.
    • Clearing a game’s score now actually clears it, and hosts can clear a finished match’s scores without redoing pick & ban.

    The match screen, sudden death and the tab bar got a cleaner look, and “hosted by” shows the host’s picture.

  25. tournament pages, reworked

    September 22, 2026

    New

    • Aimlabs duo tournaments can fill in scores automatically: each player’s best run on the map since the match started, read straight from Aimlabs. Tied maps go to sudden death.
    • The rules tab now shows an example pick and ban played out on the tournament’s own map pool, plus clear cards for format, scoring and ties.
    • Standings show every team’s full run through the bracket, match by match, with prize money next to the top places.
    • Before the bracket is drawn, the tournament page shows it as it would look right now, with everyone who has signed up in their spot.
    • Finished brackets light up the champion’s path in gold, all the way to the final.
    • Qualifier tournaments show one card per scenario with the current top score, and standings that fit on any screen.
    • Double elimination brackets are easier to follow, with the grand final right next to the winners final.

    Fixes

    • A duo match no longer ends after the first player’s score is entered. It waits until everyone has a score.

    Round robin and Swiss formats have been retired, and the register page got a cleaner layout.

  26. group vetoes for tournaments

    September 21, 2026

    New

    • Tournament hosts can now sort categories into groups, like Tap, Track and Switch, and let players ban or pick a whole group before banning categories inside it. Set it up under Dashboard → Tournaments → Scenarios.
    • Pick and ban can now run entirely before game 1, so every map is locked in before anyone plays. Find it on the Format tab.

  27. everyone streaming, with previews

    September 21, 2026

    New

    • The "see all" link under Streaming now opens every live streamer with the same stream preview cards as the home page, busiest stream first.

  28. new link previews

    September 21, 2026

    New

    • Sharing a kova link now shows a new preview card: your banner, rank, team and current mouse and mousepad on profiles, plus top rank, founders and open applications on teams.
    • Tournament, forum, marketplace and gear links got the same new look, with the details that matter along the bottom.
    • PB pings in Discord now show the rank badge next to every benchmark rank.

    Fixes

    • Links to a team application form and to a profile's reviews page now show that team or profile in the preview instead of a generic card.

  29. live previews on the home page

    September 21, 2026

    New

    • Streamers on the home page now show a live preview of their stream, with how long they have been live. Click the preview to watch on Twitch.
    • The home page now shows the most used mouse, mousepad, keyboard, headset, monitor and sleeve on kova. Click one to see who plays with it.

  30. leaderboard order and overlay badges

    September 21, 2026

    Fixes

    • Leaderboards now rank by energy properly. Players we had no energy score for were being placed above players we did, so the top of each board was wrong and the highest energy on it could sit several rows down.
    • Your rank badge now shows on the stream overlay instead of a grey circle. It affected every ladder outside Voltaic, so Viscose, Lemon, cA, Euphoric and TSK ranks were all blank.

    and a cleaner link preview and sign-in page.

  31. kova has a new home

    September 21, 2026

    New

    • Kova has moved to kova.page. Your profile now lives at kova.page/your-username, and every old link redirects there on its own, so anything you have already posted keeps working.
    • You will be signed out once as part of the move. Sign in with Discord again and everything - your profile, teams, ranks and content - is exactly where you left it.

  32. duos tournaments

    September 20, 2026

    New

    • Hosts can now enter duos themselves, pasted straight from a sign-up sheet: one duo per line as "Duo name, player one, player two". In Dashboard → Tournaments → Participants.
    • A duo can include a player who has no Kova account, typed in by name, so you can run an event whose entrants signed up somewhere else. Prefix a player with @ to link their Kova profile instead.
    • Both players in a duo are now named on the bracket, the stream overlay, the podium and the final standings, instead of just the team name.
    • A scheduled tournament now keeps its bracket hidden until the start time, so pairings stay sealed until you announce them.

    Fixes

    • Brackets no longer get stuck when the number of entrants does not exactly fill it, for example 15 teams in a 16-team bracket. A team with no opponent now advances instead of leaving a match nobody could play.
    • Removing or disqualifying a team mid-event now advances their opponent, instead of leaving them facing an empty slot.
    • With no third-place match, 3rd and 4th now tie rather than being split by an invented tiebreak, so placements match what was actually played.
    • Comment sections no longer fade out the last comment when the whole list already fits on screen.

  33. Sep 18

    September 18, 2026

    New

    • Team logos now get the same crop-and-zoom editor profile pictures have, so you choose the framing instead of having it cropped for you. Click your logo on your team page.
    • Videos on profiles, the forum and reviews now show a thumbnail and start when you press play, so pages open faster and YouTube only hears about you once you actually watch something.

    Fixes

    • Voting on the feedback board is instant now, instead of reloading the whole board on every click.
    • A long forum title no longer runs outside its card in your feed.

    and some quality-of-life changes.

  34. Sep 17

    September 17, 2026

    New

    • The scenario of the week is now one message per week: it updates in place as scores land, shows when the week ends, and turns into the final result when it closes. No more separate standings post.
    • Your team's week in review now opens with the week in one line, and a week with nothing in it stays quiet.
    • Go-live posts say how long someone has been streaming, and stay readable once the stream ends.

    Fixes

    • Tournament check-in DMs now show a live countdown instead of a fixed "within 30 min", which was wrong the moment you read it late.
    • Empty roster and bracket boards are no longer posted at all.

    and rank-ups, gear changes, release notes and team DMs all got a tidy-up.

  35. Sep 17

    September 17, 2026

    New

    • Coaches now list their clients on their Coaching tab, and you can see which people you follow were coached by them. Don't want to be listed? Turn it off in Dashboard → Preferences.
    • Seller pages and the marketplace now show which people you follow have bought from that seller.
    • Remove the background from your own stickers right inside the decal editor.
    • Share any gear from the Peripherals page: the new link button copies a link that opens it directly.
    • Tournament cards got a redesign that shows the host, player count and start date at a glance.
    • Gear that isn't out yet is now marked as upcoming until its release date.
    • The benchmark pickers on the leaderboard and the rank-up planner are now searchable.

    and a cleaner Tools page, calmer empty pages, a tidier notifications menu and a quicker ⌘K search.

  36. Sep 17

    September 17, 2026

    New

    • Pro players now get a gold medal badge next to their name, on their profile, the leaderboard, team rosters, the marketplace, their shareable card and their stream overlay.

  37. Sep 16

    September 16, 2026

    New

    • Aimgroups can have a description now: write a couple of lines in Dashboard → Info and they show right under your team header.
    • You can now pick which role new members land on. Open the 3-dot menu next to any member-tier role in Dashboard → Members and choose "set as default on join" - accepted applicants and invites go straight onto it.

    and accepting a team invite now grants the matching Discord role right away instead of waiting for the hourly sync.

  38. Sep 16

    September 16, 2026

    New

    • Team websites can now pull their roster's kova links automatically instead of maintaining them by hand: `GET /api/aimgroup/<slug>/roster` returns every member with their profile URL, role and rank.

  39. Sep 15

    September 15, 2026

    New

    • AIMCORE S1 (all three playlists) and Anima Micro v2 are now on kova. Feature one as your rank in Dashboard → Kovaaks, filter the leaderboard by it, and see its ranks on your PBs and in /bench.
    • Teams get a heads-up in their Discord PB channel whenever kova starts tracking a new benchmark, with its full rank ladder. Only teams already using benchmarks (a leaderboard board, rank roles, a rank-ups channel or benchmark-only PBs) get it.

  40. Sep 15

    September 15, 2026

    Fixes

    • The bracket overlay labelled every match "bo1" no matter its real format. It now shows the round's actual length, including a duo relay's scenario count.

  41. Sep 15

    September 15, 2026

    Fixes

    • Aimgroup application forms now fill in your Discord @username instead of your display name, and the team reviewing your application sees the same.

    and some quality-of-life changes.

  42. Sep 14

    September 14, 2026

    New

    • Duo tournaments can run as a relay: each teammate plays their own scenarios and the duo with the higher combined total wins. Set "scenarios per teammate" under Dashboard → Tournaments → Match format.
    • Captains can assign which teammate takes each relay scenario, and the roster now shows the default split instead of leaving every slot blank.

  43. Sep 14

    September 14, 2026

    New

    • You can rewrite your comment on someone's profile without deleting it first - the box is always there, and posting asks before it replaces what you left before.

    and some quality-of-life changes.

  44. Sep 12

    September 12, 2026

    Fixes

    • Adding a game by its URL now works on sites that block scrapers - if the page itself is unreadable, we fall back to the site's icon instead of failing. You may need to type the game's name yourself in Dashboard → Games.

  45. Sep 11

    September 11, 2026

    New

    • The KovaaK's tab in your dashboard now shows when benchmark ranks last updated and when the next update is due, so you know how long a new rank takes to show up.

  46. Sep 10

    September 10, 2026

    New

    • Aimgroups can now hide the member content section - your roster's reviews, projects and coaching offers. It's on by default; turn it off in the team dashboard under Info.

    Fixes

    • A pinned tweet with a video no longer gets cut off on aimgroup pages - the player now fits the announcement panel.
    • Rank-ups in the aimgroup activity feed now say which benchmark the rank is from.

    A team page with a single video now shows it beside its title instead of stranded in the middle of the row.

  47. Aimgroup pages got a lot more to look at

    September 10, 2026

    New

    • A new Setup section on every aimgroup page shows the mouse, pad, keyboard, headset and monitor most of the roster actually runs, with how many members are on each. Hover one to see who.
    • Aimgroup pages now show what the members make: their coaching offers, gear reviews and community projects, in one section you can flip between.
    • Aimgroups can have background music, same as a portfolio. Upload a track in the team dashboard under Theme.

    Fixes

    • Aimgroup section headings now follow the heading case and font your team picked in Theme - they were ignoring both.

    The Forum filters, search and category list now stay put while you scroll the questions.

  48. See what the top ranks actually play with

    September 8, 2026

    New

    • Peripherals can now be filtered by rank: pick Grandmaster+, Nova+, Astra+ or Celestial+ and the counts only include players at that rank or above.

    Fixes

    • The category dropdown in the forum composer is clickable again - it only responded to the keyboard before.
    • The Coaching page now leads with the coaches who are actually active - a fresh review pushes them back up, instead of the list being frozen in the order offers were posted.
    • Coaching request DMs from the bot now show the other person's Discord username instead of a raw ID, so you can search them and add them.

    The Peripherals filter bar is tidier too - gear type is a dropdown next to the rank filter instead of a row of chips.

  49. Quieter portfolio music

    September 4, 2026

    Fixes

    • Background music on portfolios now starts much quieter, so opening a profile no longer blasts you. You can also stop it starting on its own for every profile in Dashboard → Preferences.

  50. Aim trainer sens, fixed on Firefox

    September 3, 2026

    Fixes

    • The aim trainer now plays at the cm/360 you typed in Firefox, Zen and Safari. Those browsers don't hand a web page raw mouse input, so the drill ran at the wrong sensitivity; there's a new multiplier next to cm/360 and DPI to dial it in once, and everything after that is right.
    • The "soft" card shadow in your theme settings is actually visible now, instead of looking the same as "none".
    • A rank-up no longer shows up twice in your Feed.

    plus a cleaner Changelog page, a faster home page, and the reaction-times card has left the Feed sidebar.

August 2026

  1. Clearer errors

    August 30, 2026

    Fixes

    • When something goes wrong behind a Discord command or button, the bot now tells you instead of silently timing out.
    • A failed upload now shows a proper error message instead of failing without explanation.

    plus some behind-the-scenes hardening and rate limiting across the API.

  2. Boards stop repeating themselves

    August 30, 2026

    Fixes

    • Your team's Discord leaderboard board updates in place again, instead of posting a fresh copy of itself every few hours.
    • Feedback posts keep their line breaks, so a long report reads as paragraphs instead of one block of text.
    • The feedback box shows how many characters you have left, and no longer quietly cuts the end off a post written with line breaks.
    • Your profile card tilts and catches the light when you drag it on a phone - it only ever reacted to a mouse before.

  3. Four new benchmarks

    August 28, 2026

    New

    • Lemon Static S2, Jade Palace Dynamic, Avasive S2 and snakbox are now on kova - feature one as your rank in Dashboard → Kovaaks, filter the leaderboard by it, and see its ranks on your PBs and in /bench.
    • Each new ladder gets its own rank badge, on the profile, the leaderboard and in Discord.

    The featured-rank picker in Dashboard → Kovaaks loads noticeably faster.

  4. Posting is quicker, cards react instantly

    August 27, 2026

    Fixes

    • Posting an answer, a reply or a profile comment lands roughly twice as fast - the page was being rebuilt twice for every post.
    • Cards no longer hesitate before lifting when you hover them. The pop-in animation was leaving its delay attached long after the card had appeared.

  5. Profile comments scroll instead of stretching the page

    August 27, 2026

    New

    • Comments on a profile now sit in their own scrollable box, and older ones load as you scroll to the bottom. No more "Show more" button, and a busy profile no longer pushes everything below it off the screen.

  6. Background music stays in the background

    August 27, 2026

    Fixes

    • Portfolio background music could play at full volume instead of the quiet ambience it is meant to be, depending on your browser. It now stays where it belongs.

    The theme preset previews show the glass look properly, and the Glass preset frosts the header card too.

  7. Discord commands find the right player

    August 27, 2026

    New

    • The "user" option on /pb, /bench, /profile and /vs now suggests kova usernames as you type, so you can look up anyone on the platform without knowing their exact name.

    Fixes

    • /playlist no longer posts whichever playlist Kovaaks ranked first when your search matched several. It tells you the search is done, and running it again lists the matches so you pick the one you meant.
    • Commands told you a scenario doesn't exist whenever Kovaaks was down. They now say Kovaaks isn't responding, and the scenario and playlist suggestions stop going blank while it's slow.

  8. See everyone who is live

    August 27, 2026

    New

    • "See all" under Streaming now on the home page opens the full list of everyone on kova live on Twitch right now, and you can still search, filter and sort it like any other portfolio browse.
    • Anyone live on Twitch carries a badge with their viewer count anywhere you browse Portfolios, and it opens the stream directly so you can jump straight into watching.

  9. Voltaic S5.5 Advanced requirements are right again

    August 26, 2026

    Fixes

    • Voltaic S5.5 Advanced was stuck on its launch-day requirements. Every scenario in that playlist now matches what Kovaaks actually asks for (1w2ts Grandmaster is 1310, not 1330), and the daily sync that keeps them current is running again.
    • domiClick, Air Angelic and voxTS Advanced had placeholder requirements nobody could reach, so they always read as unranked. They rank properly now.

  10. Every page shows you everything now

    August 26, 2026

    New

    • Aimgroups, the marketplace, peripherals, coaching, tournaments and giveaways now show every listing on one page instead of paging you through them.
    • Browse pages load a lot faster: pictures were being fetched at full size to fill a thumbnail.

    Fixes

    • Older aimgroups were missing from the Aimgroups directory entirely, and coaches, tournaments and giveaways were being cut off the same way. Everything is listed again.
    • Gear in your feed shows its picture again when the piece came from the catalog, and a type icon instead of an empty box when it has no photo.
    • The profile card that pops up on a name now only opens on the name or avatar, so hovering a badge shows what the badge means.
    • Ritual members get their coral check in the feed and on the follow suggestions, like everywhere else.

    plus cleaner empty states, and a loading screen on the forum and sign-in so a click never looks like nothing happened.

  11. Team themes catch up with profile themes

    August 25, 2026

    New

    • Your aimgroup theme now has everything a profile theme does: a card color, a light/dark pin so every visitor sees the page on the ground you designed it against, a logo ring, and three slots to save a look you want to come back to. All under Dashboard → your aimgroup → Theme.
    • Share buttons on the forum: copy a link to a question, or to one specific answer inside it.

    Fixes

    • Browsing gear is smooth again. The peripherals grid was loading every picture at full size, which is what made scrolling it stutter.

    plus cards that pop in as you scroll the browse pages, a tighter member list with a clearer invite box in your team dashboard, and a team page preview that actually shows your theme.

  12. The roster board tells you who people are

    August 25, 2026

    New

    • Your team's Discord members board now gives each member their bio, a link to their kova profile and how long they have been on the team, next to their rank badge and avatar.

    and avatars on the board are squared off, so the column lines up instead of mixing tall and wide pictures.

  13. A watchlist for applications

    August 25, 2026

    New

    • Star an applicant to put them on your team's watchlist, and find everyone you starred under the new Watchlist tab in your team's applications. It works on rejected applications too, so a "not this time" doesn't mean losing track of them.
    • Reject quietly: a switch in the reject dialog that skips the notification and the Discord DM, for applications you'd rather close without a ping.
    • Applications now show what an applicant looks like today rather than the day they applied: teams they have joined since, socials they have linked, their current rank.
    • Before you accept someone, the dialog tells you whether your decision will reach them as a Discord DM.

    Fixes

    • Teams of more than about a dozen members can set a members roster channel again. The roster was too big for Discord to accept, and the error blamed the bot's permissions.

    and theme preset thumbnails now preview a miniature profile instead of an abstract swatch.

  14. Go-live posts reach the servers following you

    August 25, 2026

    New

    • Point your team's "Live on Twitch" channel at a Discord announcement channel and every go-live post publishes itself to the servers following it. Nothing to switch on, it happens whenever the channel is an announcement channel.

  15. What's next to the Feed

    August 24, 2026

    New

    • The Feed has a side panel on wider screens: players to follow, the questions being asked on the Forum right now, and the fastest reaction times.
    • A Forum question in your Feed now shows the question itself with its category and answer count, plus any clip or screenshot the asker posted with it.

    Fixes

    • The reason picker when reporting a profile or an aimgroup is readable again, with proper labels instead of a bare list.

  16. Forum links show the question

    August 24, 2026

    New

    • Share a Forum question in Discord and the preview now shows the question itself, who asked, how many answers it has and whether one has been accepted, instead of the generic kova card.

  17. Finding your way around the Forum

    August 24, 2026

    New

    • Search the Forum from the bar above the questions, so you can check whether yours has already been answered.
    • New "Unanswered" filter on the Forum, for the questions still waiting on someone.
    • Questions asked by people you follow now show up in your Feed.
    • Your own questions and answers are listed in Dashboard → Activity, so a post you left is easy to get back to.

  18. Rank icons everywhere the bot posts

    August 24, 2026

    New

    • The team members board in Discord now shows every member with their avatar and their kova rank icon, and pages itself across multiple messages for bigger rosters. If someone posts in the channel between the pages, the bot reposts so the roster always stays together.
    • Rank icons now show up wherever the bot names a rank: rank-up pings, the weekly digest rank changes, /profile, /pb, /bench, /vs and /leaderboard.

  19. The Forum is open

    August 24, 2026

    New

    • Ask the aim community anything on the new Forum, in the navbar. Sens, gear, benchmarks, scenarios - post a question, answer someone else’s, upvote what helped, and the asker can mark the answer that solved it.
    • Attach your setup to a question in one click. Your sens, DPI, rank and current gear ride along with it, frozen as they were when you asked, so nobody has to ask you for them first.
    • Add images to a question or an answer by pasting, dragging or picking a file, and drop a YouTube link on its own line to embed the clip.
    • You get a notification when someone answers your question, replies to your answer, or accepts your answer. Turn them off in Dashboard → Preferences.

    The navbar is tidier: Tournaments and Leaderboard now share a Compete menu, and Feedback moved into your account menu.

  20. Background music is quiet again

    August 22, 2026

    Fixes

    • Portfolio background music plays at the low volume it is meant to. On most browsers it had been coming in at full volume, whatever the setting said.

  21. Volume on X clips

    August 22, 2026

    Fixes

    • X (Twitter) clips have a volume slider now, so a loud clip no longer means muting it entirely. Hover the speaker icon in the player.

    Go-live posts in Discord lead with the stream title and drop the ping.

  22. A clearer look at your stats

    August 21, 2026

    New

    • The KovaaK's stats tool has been redesigned: every chart now shares one style, colour is saved for the mark worth looking at, and each one has a hover tooltip with the detail behind it.
    • See how many personal bests you set per day, week or month, under Tools → Stats → Progress.
    • Comparing reaction times on the leaderboard can replay at real time now, not just slow motion.

    Fixes

    • Fixed a rare crash that could briefly take the site offline when the database dropped a connection.

    and some quality-of-life changes.

  23. Custom colourways can use the catalog

    August 20, 2026

    New

    • Gear in a colourway the catalog doesn’t list can still use the catalog entry. Pick "Custom" and it takes the model’s name and specs while keeping your own colour and photo, handy for a custom build or a repainted case.

    Fixes

    • Gear added from the catalog keeps its colour. Picking a colourway saved everything about it except the colour itself.

  24. Head-to-head cards name both players

    August 20, 2026

    New

    • The Discord compare card now carries Snipe and Compare buttons, so you can launch the scenario in challenge mode or run the same head-to-head yourself.

    Fixes

    • /vs on a scenario names both players instead of labelling one score "You", which read as the wrong person for everyone else in the channel.

  25. Current flags on profile cards

    August 19, 2026

    Fixes

    • Profile share cards draw country flags from an up-to-date set, so Syria shows its current flag instead of the retired one.

    and some quality-of-life changes.

  26. Tidier on phones

    August 18, 2026

    Fixes

    • Leaderboard, Feedback and the rank-up planner lay out properly on a phone. Their filters and search boxes were a mismatched stack.

    and some quality-of-life changes.

  27. Your team, in your feed

    August 18, 2026

    New

    • Feed has tabs now: switch between the people you follow and any team you are on.

    Fixes

    • Marketplace search finds gear by product name. "Artisan Hien" or "Hayate Otsu" turned up nothing before.

    and some quality-of-life changes.

  28. Faster ⌘K

    August 17, 2026

    Fixes

    • People and teams show up in ⌘K right away instead of waiting on the scenario search.

  29. A much better ⌘K

    August 17, 2026

    New

    • Search ⌘K finds KovaaK's scenarios now, and opens one straight in the game.
    • It also remembers what you opened last, so your usual pages are at the top.
    • Typing shortcuts work: "rtt" finds the Reaction Time Test, "senscon" the Sensitivity Converter.
    • Copy your profile link or sign out from ⌘K without leaving the page.
    • /sens in Discord takes the cm/360 you want and tells you the in-game sens for it. Pick a game, your DPI, and the distance.
    • Feedback is back in the top navbar.

    Fixes

    • "Updated 3w ago" is back on community project cards. It had gone quiet on every listing.
    • Saved theme presets now preview glass and frosted cards properly instead of showing them solid.
    • You can no longer upvote a project listing you submitted or made.

    The landing page is tidier, with live totals for aimers, aimgroups, catalog gear and reviews.

  30. Five new things the Discord bot does

    August 17, 2026

    New

    • Your team can now get a ping when a member goes live on Twitch, no setup beyond picking a channel. Choose whether the post is marked as ended or deleted when the stream stops.
    • A weekly digest every Monday: who trained most, the best global ranks, and the week’s rank-ups.
    • Scenario of the week: a benchmark scenario picked for your team each Monday with a live board of everyone’s best score.
    • Sens and gear changes can post to their own channel, so the team sees when someone switches mouse or drops their sens.
    • A read-only tournament bracket board that keeps itself up to date in its own channel.
    • New /board command shows your team’s standings in any benchmark, without needing a dedicated board channel.
    • You can now upvote community projects, and the directory sorts by what the community rates highest.

    Fixes

    • Rank roles and team roles now heal much faster, and no longer go quiet when Discord rate-limits the bot.
    • The feed now only shows PBs that earned a new rank, instead of burying you under someone’s grinding session.

    All of the new channels live in Team dashboard → Discord.

  31. Voltaic S5.5 is in

    August 17, 2026

    New

    • Voltaic S5.5 is now a benchmark you can feature, browse on the leaderboard and check with /bench.

  32. your preferences follow you

    August 17, 2026

    New

    • Click spark, the what’s-new popup and profile background music are saved to your account, so they carry over to every device you sign in on.

    Fixes

    • Saved theme presets now preview their real background and card colour, instead of showing a default one.

    Filters moved next to the search box on Peripherals and Projects, and some spacing and pop-up polish across the site.

  33. pop-ups that fit your screen

    August 16, 2026

    Fixes

    • Pop-ups taller than your screen now scroll, so their buttons stay reachable. Switching a peripheral to a catalog entry with a lot of colourways was the worst of these.

    The catalog swap pop-up is more compact, and it names the owner when staff switch someone else's gear over.

  34. your theme comes back with you

    August 16, 2026

    Fixes

    • Leaving a portfolio pinned to light or dark now restores your own mode, instead of leaving the rest of the site stuck in the owner's.

  35. the theme switcher stays put

    August 16, 2026

    Fixes

    • The light/dark switcher no longer vanishes on portfolios pinned to one mode, it now shows which mode the owner pinned.

    Catalog entries also show how many specs are filled in, and the catalog form is a lot less wordy.

  36. projects show their age

    August 16, 2026

    New

    • Community projects now show when their code was last updated, so you can tell a live tool from one that stopped two years ago.

  37. the aim trainer, rebuilt

    August 16, 2026

    New

    • Any drill can now be expanded to full-screen, on every mode.
    • The trainer runs at your real sensitivity: type your cm/360 and DPI under the field and a flick across it costs what it does in your game.
    • Leaderboards can be filtered to people you follow or your own team, so you are racing people you know instead of the whole platform.
    • Your last runs show as a trend line next to your best, so you can see whether today is going anywhere.

    Leaderboard scores are now timed against the run that earned them, so a faked submission cannot land.

  38. badges in search

    August 15, 2026

    New

    • Search results now carry the same badges as a profile, so you can tell verified accounts and staff apart at a glance.

    Plus bigger peripheral photos on your gear cards, and tidier spacing in the peripheral popup.

  39. feed cards fit your phone

    August 14, 2026

    Fixes

    • PB scores in the feed no longer print past the edge of the card on a phone.
    • Feed cards now use the full width of the row, so a gear photo is not squeezed into a narrow column.

  40. X clips play in the feed

    August 14, 2026

    New

    • X clips now play right in your feed instead of showing as a bare line of text.
    • Every X clip uses the same player as on your profile, in your accent colour, including the one on a team page.

    Fixes

    • The views-over-time chart on your dashboard drew empty on phones.
    • PB and rank-up rows in the feed no longer overlap or strand their chart on a phone.
    • A peripheral marked incoming read as "arriving soon" once you opened it.

    and some quality-of-life changes.

  41. reactions on your own posts

    August 14, 2026

    Fixes

    • Reactions on your own feed posts are read-only now. You still see every reaction people leave you, you just cannot add your own.

    Gear photos in the feed are bigger with the name underneath, and profiles show a calmer placeholder while they load.

  42. gear switches show what you moved from

    August 14, 2026

    Fixes

    • A gear switch in your feed now shows the old piece and the new one side by side, so it is clear what you moved to.
    • Gear photos no longer go missing on those rows when the peripheral has a variant.
    • The feed no longer repeats a rank-up you already got when the benchmark site briefly stops answering.

    and some quality-of-life changes.

  43. live streamers lead Explore

    August 14, 2026

    New

    • Explore now opens with the aimers streaming on Twitch right now, marked with a live pill.

    and some quality-of-life changes.

  44. scores past the top rank, and faster PB pings while you play

    August 14, 2026

    New

    • A maxed scenario now shows how far past the top rank you scored ("max rank +12") on your PB cards, the same way the Discord ping does.

    Fixes

    • PB detection now follows your session: it checks every couple of minutes while you are playing or live on stream, and eases off when you are not. If you have not played in a while, your first PB back can take a little longer to appear.
    • Link previews shared to Discord or Twitter now show the right domain.

  45. see the reactions on your own posts

    August 13, 2026

    Fixes

    • Your own personal bests, rank-ups and new gear now show in your Feed, so you can finally see the reactions people leave on them.

  46. one comment each, and rank-ups in the feed

    August 13, 2026

    New

    • Profile comments are now one per person. Everyone gets a single say on a profile, and you can delete yours to write a new one.
    • A personal best that crosses a rank threshold says so in the feed, as "Silver → Gold" on the scenario.
    • Discord PB pings and /pb keep their rank badge when a score is below the first threshold, and /pb now lists every benchmark a scenario belongs to instead of hiding the ones you are unranked in.

    Fixes

    • Feed PB rows no longer squash the scenario name to nothing and spill the score past the card on a narrow window.

    and some quality-of-life changes.

  47. keep your PBs off the feeds

    August 13, 2026

    New

    • New "PB sharing" toggle in Dashboard → KovaaK's keeps your personal bests out of follower feeds, team pages and Discord PB pings. They stay on the leaderboard and your profile.

  48. react to anything in your feed

    August 13, 2026

    New

    • React to any post in your feed, from the smiley underneath it.

    Fixes

    • Cover art from an uploaded MP3 shows in the portfolio music player again instead of silently going missing.

  49. the feed stops calling things unranked

    August 13, 2026

    Fixes

    • PBs in your feed no longer read "Unranked" for scenarios that belong to no benchmark at all.
    • A long track title now scrolls in the portfolio music player instead of being cut off.

    and some quality-of-life changes.

  50. ASCII art survives your phone

    August 13, 2026

    Fixes

    • ASCII and braille art in profile comments keeps its shape on mobile instead of folding into gibberish.

  51. review your skates

    August 13, 2026

    Fixes

    • Skates and grip tape now show up in the brand and model pickers when you write a review.

  52. mice have switches now

    August 13, 2026

    New

    • Your mouse can list its switches in Dashboard → Peripherals, the same free-text field keyboards have.
    • Catalogued mice suggest the switches they ship with, so a model offering two options lets you pick yours.

  53. Deadlock joins the sens converter

    August 12, 2026

    New

    • Deadlock is in the sensitivity converter and the /sens command, so you can match your cm/360 to it.

    Fixes

    • Dashboard analytics no longer list deleted links and peripherals, so the top ten is ten things you still have.
    • Profile completeness stopped asking you to link Steam on its own - connecting KovaaK's already does both.

    and the theme button now cycles light, dark and system with one click.

  54. avatar rings keep their own color

    August 12, 2026

    Fixes

    • Picking a card color no longer tints the ring around your avatar.

    and @mentions in your bio now use your accent color.

  55. tag people in your bio

    August 12, 2026

    New

    • Type @username in your bio and it links to their portfolio, with their card on hover.

    Fixes

    • Saving a theme preset now keeps your page background, corner rounding and shadow instead of resetting them.

  56. sleeve sizes, and gear built by two brands

    August 12, 2026

    New

    • Arm sleeves now take a size, pick it in Dashboard → Peripherals and it shows on your card and in the marketplace.
    • Collab gear is named after both brands (Vancer x Arbiter Studio), and searching either one finds it.
    • Mousepads can be set to a Hybrid surface, and keyboards to a 70% layout.

    and sleeves now show their cut and size in the feed and on marketplace listings.

  57. birthdays, and portfolios that look the same for everyone

    August 12, 2026

    New

    • Add your birthday in Dashboard → Profile and your portfolio celebrates on the day.
    • People you follow show up in your feed on their birthday, and teams can post them to a Discord channel.
    • Pin your portfolio to light or dark in Dashboard → Theme, so visitors see it on the background you built it against.
    • Save up to three of your own theme presets and switch between them from the presets tab.

    Fixes

    • A profile with no banner no longer shows a hard line where the banner meets your name and stats.
    • Discord PB posts now show a rank badge when the score sits below a benchmark, instead of no image at all.

    and a tidier dashboard sidebar, with sections that collapse.

  58. gear reviews up front, search finds exact names

    August 11, 2026

    New

    • Opening a peripheral on the Peripherals page now shows its most-read reviews, with a link to all of them.

    Fixes

    • Searching an exact username in ⌘K now puts that profile first instead of burying it under longer names that merely contain it.

  59. blocking from profiles, and a richer feed

    August 11, 2026

    New

    • Block someone straight from the menu on their profile - no need to wait for a comment. The same menu is where you undo it.
    • Team joins and leaves in your feed now show the team itself: logo, tag and member count.

    Fixes

    • Fresh PBs now show their global rank and cm/360 - on your profile, in the feed and in Discord PB pings - instead of leaving them blank until much later.

  60. what everyone plays with

    August 9, 2026

    New

    • Browse the gear aimers here actually use, ranked by how many play with it, on the new Peripherals page under Explore.
    • Open any piece of gear for its full specs, its colourways, what owners rated it and who uses it.

    and some quality-of-life changes.

  61. player cards on hover

    August 9, 2026

    New

    • Hover a name on the leaderboard, in profile comments or in your feed to see that player: their rank, their setup and their badges, without leaving the page.

    and some quality-of-life changes.

  62. one logo everywhere

    August 9, 2026

    Fixes

    • Links to Kova now preview with the same logo the site uses, instead of a swashier version of the wordmark.

  63. rank badges in Discord

    August 9, 2026

    New

    • Rank badges now show inline in Discord: /bench, /vs, /pb and your team's leaderboard board display the actual rank icon next to every rank.
    • /bench marks scenarios you have played but not yet ranked in with the greyed-out badge for that benchmark, matching your profile.

    and some quality-of-life changes.

  64. wanted posts & card colors

    August 8, 2026

    New

    • Post what you are looking for: mark a wishlist item as wanted in Dashboard → Peripherals and it appears on the Marketplace's new "Wanted" tab with your budget.
    • Pick a card color for your profile in Dashboard → Theme, instead of only grey or glass. Text flips to whatever stays readable on it.
    • Put your peripheral groups in the order you want, with the arrows on each group in Dashboard → Peripherals.
    • Hover a player's name in an aimgroup roster for a quick card: their rank and what they're using right now.

    Fixes

    • Your latest PB and playlist cards no longer run off the right edge on smaller phones.
    • PBs in your feed now show the sens and global rank they were set at, and "+3 more scenarios" opens.

    search is quicker, and your activity page reads as one tidy list.

  65. show off your PC

    August 8, 2026

    New

    • Add your PC specs to your profile - CPU, GPU, RAM, motherboard, storage, PSU, case and cooler - in Dashboard → PC specs. Fill in as much or as little as you want; blank parts are left off.
    • Reorder or hide the new PC specs section like any other, in Dashboard → Sections.

  66. hide an aimgroup from your profile

    August 8, 2026

    New

    • Hide an aimgroup from your profile (a friends group, say) from its menu in Dashboard → Aimgroups. Hidden groups also stay out of brackets, the leaderboard, the feed and Discord.

  67. auto-scoring you can trust

    August 7, 2026

    Fixes

    • Auto-scoring a match game no longer wipes the per-try scores you typed in.
    • Auto-score won't replace a recorded score with a lower one, or zero it out when Kovaaks is briefly unreachable - it now leaves your entry alone and tells you why.
    • Auto-score falls back to a recent cached score during a Kovaaks outage instead of failing the whole click.
    • Re-running auto-score on a finished match no longer re-sends "your match is ready" DMs to both players.
    • Auto-score now refuses a game that replays an earlier scenario in the same match, where Kovaaks cannot tell the two games apart, instead of guessing.

  68. embedded posts are back

    August 7, 2026

    Fixes

    • X posts show up again on profiles, the feed and video reviews, instead of a "content is blocked" box.
    • Peripheral images load a lot faster on profiles.

    and some quality-of-life changes.

  69. the leaderboard on your phone

    August 7, 2026

    Fixes

    • The leaderboard is readable on a phone: player names no longer get squeezed to an ellipsis by columns that never fit.

    and a new site icon.

  70. a faster leaderboard

    August 7, 2026

    New

    • Leaderboard links now point at a specific board: the benchmark and tab you picked stay in the URL.

    Fixes

    • Scrolling a big leaderboard board no longer stutters.

    and the leaderboard and landing page load quicker.

  71. a fresh look

    August 5, 2026

    New

    • Fresh typeface: body text across the site now uses Hanken Grotesk.
    • The landing page got a redesign, now showing the Discord bot, all five tools, and a profile preview that mirrors real profiles.

    and some quality-of-life polish across the landing page.

  72. Reactive Tracking benchmark

    August 5, 2026

    New

    • m0narcS & hizku Reactive Tracking is now a benchmark you can feature, Easier and Main, with its own rank badge, in Dashboard → Kovaaks.
    • It also shows up on the leaderboard, in scenario rank chips, and in the /bench Discord command.

    Fixes

    • Some portfolio cards showed no view count on Portfolios and Explore, even with thousands of views.

    Benchmarks you have no rank in now show a greyed-out badge in the rank pickers instead of an empty box.

  73. Two more benchmarks

    August 4, 2026

    New

    • Aimerz+ Evasive Switching is now a benchmark you can feature, with its Easy and Hard playlists and its own rank badge, in Dashboard → Kovaaks.
    • m0narcS & hizku Precise Tracking is in too, Easier and Main, badge included.
    • Both show up on the leaderboard, in scenario rank chips, and in the /bench Discord command.

    The rank badge on your profile now only names the difficulty when the rank alone would be ambiguous.

  74. Revosect S5 benchmark

    August 4, 2026

    New

    • Revosect S5 is now a benchmark you can feature: Entry, Intermediate and Advanced, all 72 scenarios ranked, in Dashboard → Kovaaks.
    • It also shows up on the leaderboard, in scenario rank chips, and in the /bench Discord command.

  75. Target switching in the Aim Trainer

    August 4, 2026

    New

    • New switching mode in the Aim Trainer: three drifting bots, three shots each, hold left mouse and flick to the next one as it drops. Its own leaderboard.
    • The end-of-run screen now shows your previous best next to the score you just set, and calls out a new best.
    • Every mode now draws its own crosshair, a dot that stays visible on top of a target.
    • Your feed is now only the people you follow. It no longer fills a quiet day with activity from across kova.

  76. Your feed is here

    August 3, 2026

    New

    • New Feed page: personal bests, rank-ups, new gear and more from everyone you follow. Find it in the navbar.
    • Personal bests show the scenario, the gain over your last one and a chart of your progress on it.
    • A "Find people to follow" button suggests teammates, players who train the same scenarios as you, and people at or just above your rank.
    • Anyone you follow who is live on Twitch shows at the top of your feed.

    Spotify albums and songs no longer save with "- Album by ... | Spotify" stuck on the end of the name.

  77. Block someone from your profile

    August 3, 2026

    New

    • Block someone straight from their comment on your profile. They can't comment or follow you again, and anything they already left there is hidden.
    • Unblock anyone from Dashboard → Preferences.

  78. Double-elimination brackets work again

    August 3, 2026

    Fixes

    • Double-elimination brackets now generate. Creating one used to fail partway through and leave the tournament without a bracket.

  79. See whether you are actually improving

    August 2, 2026

    New

    • New Progress tab under Tools → Stats: one performance index across everything you play, daily, weekly or monthly.
    • Scope that progress to a single benchmark playlist, so a good week can't just mean you played easier scenarios.

    A live Twitch badge now matches your theme's border width, notifications show who they came from, and the dashboard sidebar is grouped more sensibly.

  80. Know when someone follows you

    August 2, 2026

    New

    • Get a notification when someone starts following you. Switch it off under Dashboard → Preferences.
    • See who follows you and who you follow under Dashboard → Activity, with unfollow and follow back on every row.
    • Add Spotify albums to your music section, not just playlists and tracks.
    • Turn off the "what's new" popup under Dashboard → Preferences if you'd rather read the changelog yourself.

    Portfolio cards in the directories now show their follower count.

  81. See who the community follows

    August 2, 2026

    New

    • Sort the portfolios directory by most followers to find the players everyone is watching.

  82. Follow the players you rate

    August 2, 2026

    New

    • Follow other players straight from their profile header, and see anyone's follower count there.

    The comments section is wider, and a live Twitch badge now picks up the platform colour on its outline and shadow.

  83. Every project gets its own page

    August 1, 2026

    New

    • Every listed project now has its own page, with the full description, a cover image and every link the maker gave.
    • Tools you made show up in a new Projects section on your portfolio, next to your gear and your ranks.
    • Edit or delete your own submissions under Dashboard → Projects, and add a cover image for the top of your card.
    • Search the directory by name from the top of /projects.

    Page headers now show a breadcrumb trail instead of a back link, and project cards got a tidier layout.

  84. Get your tool listed

    August 1, 2026

    New

    • Projects: a directory of tools the aim community built, at /projects. Overlays, clip tools, stat readers, config switchers.
    • Built one? Submit it under Dashboard → Projects and it gets credited back to your profile once approved.

July 2026

  1. How long you owned it

    July 31, 2026

    New

    • Mark gear "sold" or "given away" in Dashboard → Peripherals and you can now set the date it left, so its card shows how long you owned it.

  2. Acquired dates land on the right day

    July 30, 2026

    Fixes

    • A peripheral’s acquired date showed a day earlier than you entered it, depending on your timezone.
    • "Owned for … since" now reads back in the same date format you typed it in.

  3. More ways to label your gear

    July 29, 2026

    New

    • Three new gear statuses in Dashboard → Peripherals: "in rotation" for gear you use alongside your main, "given away" for anything you handed to a friend, and "retired" for what’s sitting on the shelf.
    • Your gear page now leads with whatever you have marked "in use", so visitors see your current setup first.

    Fixes

    • Background music on a profile started only after the visitor clicked, because the track wasn’t loaded until then. It now buffers up front and starts right away.

    the status picker is grouped now, the quick status menu lists every status, and some other quality-of-life changes.

  4. Reviews, sorted and searchable

    July 28, 2026

    New

    • Sort Reviews by newest, top rated, or most viewed.
    • Search Reviews by author, not just by product or title.
    • Writing a review now suggests brand and model from the peripheral catalog as you type.
    • Review cards show the author’s badges, and the review page now names who wrote it.

    Fixes

    • Reviews only ever showed the 32 most recent ones. Every review is now browsable, with page numbers to jump straight to a page.

    and some quality-of-life changes.

  5. Host your own giveaway

    July 28, 2026

    New

    • Verified players can now run a giveaway from their own profile, under the new Giveaways tab in Dashboard → Compete.
    • Giveaways can carry a banner photo of the prize and link an announcement tweet, both shown on the giveaway page.
    • A giveaway can run on kova, or run entirely on your X post: the enter button takes people straight to the post and you record the winners afterwards.
    • Every giveaway now lives at one link, whoever hosts it. Old team links still work.

    and some quality-of-life changes.

  6. Reports now come back to you

    July 27, 2026

    New

    • If your profile or team is ever restricted, you now get told what happened, why, and how to appeal, instead of finding out by noticing.
    • When a report you filed is reviewed, you get a notification telling you what was decided.
    • Reporting a profile or team no longer needs an account: leave an email and we reply there.

  7. Your gear brings its spec sheet

    July 27, 2026

    New

    • Gear picked from the catalog now shows its real specs: mouse sensor, polling rate, connection, shape and the grips it suits, plus keyboard layout and headset form factor.
    • Mousepads have a size and sleeves a cut, so you can say which one you actually own.

    Fixes

    • Specs filled into the catalog after you added a piece of gear now show on your peripheral instead of staying blank.

    and some quality-of-life changes.

  8. A heads-up when a new version ships

    July 27, 2026

    New

    • When an update ships while you have kova open, a small notice now appears with a reload button, so a page left open overnight stops silently failing to save.

  9. Keep your own photo when switching to a catalog entry

    July 27, 2026

    New

    • Switching a peripheral to a catalog entry can now keep your own photo, so you get the catalog’s name and specs without losing your picture.

    Fixes

    • The catalog search in Dashboard → Peripherals shows every match now, instead of cutting the list off before the one you typed.

    and some quality-of-life changes.

  10. Stats tool reads a default Steam install again

    July 27, 2026

    Fixes

    • The stats tool can now open your KovaaK’s stats folder where Steam installs it by default. Chrome was refusing any folder inside Program Files.

  11. Privacy policy and terms updated

    July 27, 2026

    New

    • The privacy policy now names every outside service your data reaches, including EVXL for benchmark ranks and Twitch for the live badge, and spells out the one thing kept after you delete your account: a banned account cannot come back by signing up again.
    • The terms now cover coaching and giveaways: both are arranged between users, and kova does not handle payments or prizes.

  12. Choose where your notifications land

    July 27, 2026

    New

    • Add your grip style (palm, claw or fingertip) and hand length in Dashboard → Game settings, and they show with your sens and DPI.
    • Peripheral photos now open a crop editor: drag to position and zoom out to leave space around the product, so your gear lines up at the same size.
    • Pick where each notification reaches you in Dashboard → Preferences: in-app, Discord DM, or both, with a switch per channel.
    • Two new Discord DMs you can switch on there: when you win a giveaway, and when someone applies to an aimgroup you run (only if the aimgroup has no applications channel).

    Fixes

    • Uploading a banner no longer forces you into drag-to-position. Reposition it from the edit menu when you want to.
    • Three notification settings never saved: tournament check-in, coaching request DMs, and profile comments. Check yours, they may not be what you set.

    and some quality-of-life changes.

  13. See every run you have ever played

    July 26, 2026

    New

    • Stats: a new tool under Tools that reads your KovaaK's stats folder and charts your whole history, not just your best score.
    • See whether a scenario is actually improving, with a rolling median instead of a personal best that can only ever go up.
    • Find out where your good runs land in a session, what time of day you score best, and which scenarios are climbing or slipping.
    • Your files never leave your computer. Everything is read in your browser and nothing is uploaded or saved to Kova.

    Fixes

    • Voltaic rank badges no longer repeat the playlist, so a Grandmaster reads "Voltaic S5 · Grandmaster" instead of adding "Advanced".

  14. Sensitivity conversions corrected, and sharper overlays

    July 25, 2026

    New

    • GunZ: The Duel is in the sens converter under Tools, and in the Discord /sens command.

    Fixes

    • Marvel Rivals conversions were wrong. Anyone who converted a sens to or from Rivals got a number roughly 2.6 times off, so it is worth redoing yours.
    • Blood Strike conversions were about 7% too fast.
    • Stream overlays are sharp at any size now. Set your browser source width and height to the size you want it on canvas rather than dragging its corners in the scene, and the card renders at native resolution instead of being stretched.
    • The Discord /bench command was missing cA Static S1, Euphoric TacFPS and TSK Mixed. All three can be picked now.

    plus the sens fields now hint the right kind of number for the game you picked (GunZ wants about 1638, Fortnite 8 rather than 0.08), the overlay scores slide is labelled "Latest PB", and the Rank-up Planner has dropped its priority numbers.

  15. The Rank-up Planner, fixed and sharpened

    July 25, 2026

    New

    • The Rank-up Planner now shows your current rank and energy for the playlist, right under your progress toward the target.
    • The three scenarios with the smallest gap are numbered, so what to grind next is obvious at a glance.
    • The planner reopens on the benchmark and playlist you last had selected.

    Fixes

    • The Rank-up Planner no longer marks Voltaic S3 scenarios Done when they aren't. The three that appear in both S3 playlists were being checked against a much lower rank than the target you picked.

    plus every scenario now shows how far off the target it is as a percentage, and changing the target rank no longer reloads the whole table.

  16. A cleaner reaction leaderboard

    July 25, 2026

    New

    • The reaction time board now shows a warning next to any score whose last 10 trials are far faster than the rest of that player's history.
    • Faked reaction scores can be taken off the board, so the top of it reflects times people actually set.

  17. Share everything you have for sale

    July 25, 2026

    New

    • Every seller now has one link to all of their listings. Grab it with "Copy link" in Dashboard → Peripherals and paste it anywhere - it opens the Marketplace filtered to just your gear, with your vouches on show.
    • On any listing, "See everything ... has for sale" jumps straight to the rest of that seller's items, so you can bundle instead of hunting them down one by one.

  18. Overlay fixes

    July 24, 2026

    Fixes

    • Your overlay card is no longer see-through on stream. If your theme uses a frosted or glass card, it now looks the way it does on your profile instead of letting the game show through the text. Pick the "none" card style in Dashboard → Theme if you actually want a transparent card.
    • The overlay no longer jumps back to the first slide when your data updates. New personal bests and dashboard edits now appear in place, without the card blinking mid-stream.

    and some quality-of-life changes.

  19. Your activity, in one place

    July 24, 2026

    New

    • Dashboard → Activity collects everything you have left around the site: comments on other profiles, vouches you have written, and feedback you posted or voted on. You can delete any of it from there instead of hunting for the page it lives on.
    • The "Streaming now" cards on the homepage have a Watch button that opens the Twitch stream directly.

    Fixes

    • Opening a profile or a coach from partway down a page now starts you at the top of it, instead of dropping you into the middle.

  20. Sharper overlays, clickable bios

    July 24, 2026

    New

    • Your stream overlay can render at full resolution: set the browser source to double the size shown in Dashboard → Overlay and the card fills it instead of being upscaled.
    • Pick how many cards sit in each row of your music section under Dashboard → Music.
    • Links in your bio are now clickable.

    Fixes

    • Editing something right after an update no longer fails with a cryptic error. You now get a prompt telling you a new version is live and to reload.
    • The "Live on Twitch" badge moved onto your Twitch icon, which turns purple and reads LIVE while you stream.

  21. Liquid glass, for real this time

    July 24, 2026

    Fixes

    • The Glass card style now actually blurs your background instead of sitting there as a flat tint. Most noticeable with a Grid, Dots or Mesh background under it.
    • That style is now just called "Glass" (it was "liquid glass", which oversold it) under Dashboard → Theme → Transparency.

  22. Live on Twitch

    July 24, 2026

    New

    • Your profile shows a "Live on Twitch" badge while you are streaming, linking straight to your channel. Just add your Twitch link under Dashboard → Socials.
    • Anyone live right now also appears under "Happening right now" on the homepage.

  23. OG portfolios

    July 23, 2026

    New

    • The OG filter on Portfolios now shows exactly the first 100 members plus the Early Birds, with the Early Bird badge on their cards.

  24. Rank-up Planner

    July 23, 2026

    New

    • New tool: the Rank-up Planner shows every scenario in a benchmark playlist sorted by the smallest gap to your next rank, so you know what to grind next. Find it under Tools.
    • Each row shows your best, your global placing, your last 5 runs, and a Play button that launches the scenario in challenge mode.

    Fixes

    • Rank badges on Discord PB cards are no longer cut off at the edges.
    • The KovaaK’s tab in your dashboard is usable straight away instead of waiting on your benchmark ranks to load.

  25. Moderators

    July 23, 2026

    New

    • Kova now has moderators, listed on the Team page with their own badge next to their name.

    Fixes

    • Pinning a Viscose rank to your showcase works again, it was failing with an "invalid swatch color" error.
    • Crosshairs in KovaaK’s assets preview at their real size instead of blown up.

    and the folder a downloaded asset belongs in now sits behind an info icon, click it to copy the path.

  26. Card & theme presets

    July 23, 2026

    New

    • Theme presets now set a matching avatar ring color.
    • The Glass preset now uses the liquid glass card style.
    • The Arcade preset is available to everyone.

    Fixes

    • Your card shows sens, DPI, polling and resolution on one line, at full size.
    • Your card’s avatar ring no longer borrows your accent color when you have not picked a ring.
    • Applying a theme preset no longer clears the avatar ring you had set.

    and some quality-of-life changes.

  27. Avatar ring fixes

    July 23, 2026

    Fixes

    • On phones, the colored avatar ring no longer stretches into a wide pill across your profile header.
    • The colored avatar ring no longer draws a dark border around itself, and its thickness now matches everywhere it shows.
    • On phones, the music button now sits level with the bottom navigation instead of floating above it.

  28. Colored avatar rings

    July 23, 2026

    New

    • You can now color the ring around your profile picture, solid or a two-color gradient, under Dashboard → Theme → Brand.
    • The decals editor toolbar can now be collapsed with the arrow button, so you can see the part of your profile it was covering.

    Fixes

    • Canceling the decals editor right after adding a sticker no longer keeps the sticker.
    • Long track titles no longer stretch the music player across the whole page.
    • Your theme’s card shadow now also applies to the comments box and the bottom navigation.

  29. Album art & a real waveform

    July 22, 2026

    New

    • Your profile's music player now shows the track's album cover, pulled automatically from the uploaded file, on the button and in the expanded card.
    • The music player waveform now moves to the actual audio while the track plays.

    Fixes

    • Replacing your background track now updates the shown title to the new file.

    and some quality-of-life changes.

  30. Application form setup, streamlined

    July 22, 2026

    New

    • Setting up your team's application form now opens with a clear choice: start from scratch or import your existing Google Form. Importing stays available later from the slides card.

    Fixes

    • Portfolio page filters no longer get stuck with two dropdowns open on top of each other.

  31. Set the mood: portfolio background music

    July 22, 2026

    New

    • Portfolio background music: upload a track under Dashboard → Theme → page, and visitors get a small floating player on your profile that shows the song name and an audio wave while it plays.
    • Music playlists now accept YouTube and YouTube Music links, next to Spotify and SoundCloud.

  32. Rename your duo

    July 21, 2026

    New

    • Duo tournaments: rename your duo from the registration page any time before check-in.

  33. Viscose gets its own badge

    July 21, 2026

    New

    • Viscose rank icon got updated.

  34. New benchmarks: Aimerz+ Static & m0narcS & hizku Tracking

    July 21, 2026

    New

    • Aimerz+ Static Clicking is now supported: feature your rank on your profile, and see it in /bench, /pb, and your team’s Discord leaderboards, with its own rank badge.
    • m0narcS & hizku Tracking is in too, with its Easy, Medium and Hard playlists and its own badge.

  35. Sleeves

    July 20, 2026

    New

    • Sleeves are now a peripheral type - add yours under Dashboard → Peripherals and it shows with the rest of your gear, including on the marketplace.

  36. /playlist works on the first try

    July 20, 2026

    New

    • Profile comments now fit ASCII and braille art - the length cap doubled to 1000 characters and spacing is preserved.

    Fixes

    • The Discord /playlist search no longer dead-ends with "No options match your search" while KovaaK’s is still answering - pick the "Search KovaaK’s for …" suggestion and the bot fetches the playlist for you.
    • The showcase scenario picker now reads your live score for benchmark scenarios, so the rank next to a scenario matches what you actually have.
    • Tournament match scores are more reliable when KovaaK’s has a hiccup mid-match.

    plus a round of speed, security, and reliability tuning across the site, API, and Discord bot.

  37. Badges on comments

    July 19, 2026

    New

    • Profile comments now show identity badges next to each commenter, so you can tell at a glance who is verified or an admin.

  38. New benchmark: Leica Control Bench

    July 19, 2026

    New

    • Leica Control Bench is now supported: feature your Easy or Hard rank on your profile, and see it in /bench, /pb, and your team’s Discord leaderboards, with its own crystal rank badge.

  39. Profile comments

    July 17, 2026

    New

    • Profiles now have a comment section - leave a comment on someone’s profile, Steam style. Strict language filter and no links allowed.
    • Rather not have one? Turn comments off under Dashboard → Preferences, and pick whether new comments notify you.
    • Fresh look: Kova’s interface text now uses the Space Grotesk font.

    and some quality-of-life changes.

  40. Triage applications faster

    July 17, 2026

    New

    • Application inbox upgrade: search applications by name or answer, and a new Overview mode lists the whole tab at a glance with vote tallies and note counts - in your team dashboard → applications.
    • Discord PB cards now show how far past the top rank you scored ("max rank +x") instead of just "max rank".

    Fixes

    • A scenario that sits in several difficulties of the same benchmark now counts toward the hardest one on PB cards.

    and some quality-of-life changes.

  41. Frame your profile pictures

    July 16, 2026

    New

    • Profile pictures and banners get a proper crop editor - drag to position and zoom before saving, and the chosen framing shows everywhere: profile, card, Discord embeds.
    • New Team page in the footer - see who builds and runs Kova.

    Fixes

    • Dashboard analytics no longer show a raw ID when a clicked link or peripheral was deleted - they say [Deleted] now.

    and some quality-of-life changes.

  42. Share your KovaaK's setup

    July 16, 2026

    New

    • Assets: share your KovaaK's crosshairs, hit sounds, themes, and palettes on your profile - visitors can preview them and download the actual files. Add yours under Dashboard → Assets.
    • Photos you upload now have hidden EXIF metadata (like GPS location) stripped automatically before they go public.

    and some quality-of-life changes.

  43. Find setups built around your gear

    July 16, 2026

    New

    • Filter portfolios by a specific peripheral - pick a mouse, pad, or keyboard on the Portfolios page and see everyone who runs it, and what they pair it with.

    Fixes

    • Marketplace filters respond faster - changing location, type, or price no longer reloads the page twice.

    and some quality-of-life changes.

  44. Pills join the skate shapes

    July 15, 2026

    New

    • Mouse skates can now be marked as pills, alongside dots and donuts, in Dashboard → Peripherals.

  45. Discord names refresh, and compare tells the truth

    July 15, 2026

    New

    • Renamed yourself on Discord? Your Kova profile now picks it up on its own, no more logging out and back in.

    Fixes

    • The compare button on PB posts no longer claims you haven't played a scenario when KovaaK's is just having a moment. It now says to try again instead.

  46. Your reaction test stats stop forgetting

    July 14, 2026

    Fixes

    • The distribution chart in the reaction test now covers every trial you have ever done, not just your last 20.
    • Your best reaction time is now a real record. It used to sit on a rolling window, so a great click disappeared once you played past it.

  47. Swap your custom gear for the catalog's

    July 14, 2026

    New

    • Gear you added by hand now gets an "in catalog" tag in Dashboard → Peripherals. One click swaps it over to the catalog entry, with its photo and specs.
    • Typed the name a bit differently? "Find in catalog" in the row menu searches the catalog for it.
    • Mice can now record whether their skates are dots or donuts, in Dashboard → Peripherals.

    Fixes

    • The aim trainer now shows your rank in every mode, even when you are outside the top 10.
    • The aimgroup theme preview ignored the header setting (match / solid / none). It now previews what you actually get.

    Catalog search puts newer releases first, and the reaction test has a "jump to me" button.

  48. Cloth and glass pads, both in the catalog

    July 14, 2026

    Fixes

    • A pad that comes in both a cloth and a glass version can now be in the catalog as both, so you can pick the exact one you own. The catalog shows the surface next to the name to tell them apart.

  49. Steam links are now proven, not typed

    July 14, 2026

    Fixes

    • Steam is now linked through Discord instead of by pasting a profile URL, so nobody can claim your benchmark rank by pasting your Steam link.

    and Steam and KovaaK’s are now one connection in Dashboard → Profile instead of two, since linking either one gives us both.

  50. Your scores are read properly now

    July 14, 2026

    Fixes

    • Tournament scores no longer miss your best run when you kept playing after it. KovaaK's only shows us your last 10 runs on a scenario, which could understate a match result or wrongly block you from registering for a qualifier.
    • Personal-best pings in Discord were overstating your improvement, measuring your new score against a warmup instead of your actual previous best.
    • The /playlist command no longer answers with an unrelated playlist when KovaaK's search finds nothing. It now searches KovaaK's by playlist name or share code only. Searching by creator no longer works, because KovaaK's has no way to look a playlist up by its author.

    and card hover animations are smooth again.

  51. The /playlist command actually finds playlists now

    July 13, 2026

    Fixes

    • The /playlist command now searches everything you type, not just the first three letters, so it actually finds your playlist.
    • /playlist no longer gives up on KovaaK's mid-search and tells you nothing matched.
    • /vs only counts benchmarks you're both ranked in. A ladder your opponent never played is no longer a win for you.

    and some quality-of-life changes.

  52. Vouch for the people you buy from

    July 13, 2026

    New

    • Seller vouches: after a sale, the seller names the buyer in Dashboard → Peripherals, and only that buyer can vouch for them.
    • A seller's rating now shows on every listing, and their full vouch list lives at kova.gg/<name>/vouches.
    • Explore has a Marketplace section, and searching it now searches every section instead of hiding giveaways and reviews.

    Fixes

    • Some players lost their rank badge, and with it their Discord rank role and rank-up ping. Both are back.
    • The /playlist command said no playlist matched whenever KovaaK's was down. It now falls back to playlists saved on Kova.

  53. Jul 13

    July 13, 2026

    Fixes

    • Rank badges now look like one set: the Viscose and Lemon badges were the odd ones out and now share the same cut-gem style as the rest.
    • Transcendent, Jade Palace's top rank, has its own star badge instead of borrowing Viscose's hexagon.

  54. Jul 13

    July 13, 2026

    Fixes

    • Your copied profile card now matches your profile: it picks up your font, your lowercase/uppercase setting, and your pinned rank badge.
    • Sens and DPI tiles no longer sit off-center on your card, or spill outside their box on the pixel and display fonts.
    • DPI reads as 1600, not 1,600.

  55. Jul 13

    July 13, 2026

    Fixes

    • Rank badges now use each benchmark's real colors, so Viscose, Lemon, cA, Euphoric and TSK ranks no longer borrow Voltaic's.
    • /bench now shows your actual rank icon for every benchmark, instead of a plain letter badge on the non-Voltaic ones.

  56. Jul 13

    July 13, 2026

    Fixes

    • The new /vs and /playlist Discord commands actually run now, instead of answering "unknown command".
    • /playlist suggestions now show up as you type, rather than waiting on KovaaK's search and coming back empty.

  57. Jul 13

    July 13, 2026

    New

    • New Discord command: /vs, a head-to-head against another player. Compare benchmark ranks across every ladder, or one scenario when you name it.
    • New Discord command: /playlist, to search KovaaK's playlists and share one with a play button that launches it.
    • Discord commands like /pb and /profile now let you just mention someone instead of typing their kova username.

    Fixes

    • Discord role mirroring no longer fights you: your server is the source of truth, so a role you set there sticks instead of being reverted.

  58. Jul 12

    July 12, 2026

    New

    • New FAQ page in the footer, answering the questions we get asked most.

    Fixes

    • PB posts in Discord now stick to one benchmark, instead of mixing two different ones on the same post.

  59. Fixes

    July 12, 2026

    Fixes

    • Discord PB and rank-up posts now show your rank icon for every benchmark, not just Voltaic.

  60. Fixes

    July 12, 2026

    Fixes

    • Gear you picked from the catalog can now be listed for sale without re-uploading a photo.

    and some quality-of-life changes to the peripheral catalog.

  61. Fixes

    July 12, 2026

    Fixes

    • Profile pages no longer say "KovaaK's is unreachable" when KovaaK's is just being slow.
    • Badge tooltips now stay open when you tap them on mobile, instead of flashing and vanishing.
    • Repositioning your profile picture now carries over to your card and your Discord PB pings, not just your profile.

  62. Your overlay updates live

    July 12, 2026

    New

    • The stream overlay now updates itself when you set a PB, without resetting to the first slide.
    • The overlay shows your polling rate alongside sens, DPI and resolution.

    Fixes

    • The compare button on a PB ping no longer claims you haven't played a scenario you have. When KovaaK's is down it now says so, instead of blaming you.
    • /pb and /bench are much faster, and stop coming up empty when KovaaK's is busy.
    • Benchmark ranks are more accurate: KovaaK's Voltaic S3 could read a rank too high.
    • Sentence case in Dashboard → Theme now actually capitalizes your section headings.
    • Your in-game sensitivity no longer wraps onto two lines on your profile.

    and some quality-of-life changes.

  63. Arrange your gear

    July 11, 2026

    New

    • Drag to reorder your peripherals within each type, in Dashboard → Peripherals — your order carries over to your profile and gear page.

  64. Your overlay follows you everywhere

    July 11, 2026

    New

    • Coaching request DMs now show the student's rank, Kovaaks name, country, and EVXL profile, plus a one-click Discord contact so you can reach them directly.

    Fixes

    • Your stream overlay settings now follow your account, so every device shows the same setup and your OBS link stays valid instead of drifting per computer.

    and uploading an oversized image now fails with a clear "max 3 MB" message.

  65. PB card banner sticks around

    July 10, 2026

    Fixes

    • The trend graph on a Kovaaks PB card no longer vanishes when you set another PB in the same session, or on a scenario you just played for the first time.

  66. Your card, the way you set it up

    July 10, 2026

    New

    • Your Verified checkmark now shows on your profile card.
    • Your card shows your country the way you picked it in Dashboard → Profile, flag and all.

    Fixes

    • The trend graph on Kovaaks PB pings now shows up on every server, instead of only one when you're in several.

    and the copied card now matches the one on your profile more closely.

  67. Every ranked player on the Leaderboard

    July 10, 2026

    New

    • Catalog contributors can edit and remove the gear entries they added themselves.

    Fixes

    • Players whose rank shows on their profile now also appear on the Leaderboard, instead of waiting for the next rank snapshot.

  68. Badges explain themselves on mobile

    July 10, 2026

    Fixes

    • Tap any badge on a profile to see what it means. Previously the labels only showed on hover, so phones never got them.

  69. Nobody falls off the Leaderboard

    July 10, 2026

    Fixes

    • Players no longer disappear from the Leaderboard between rank updates. Your rank now stays put until a newer one replaces it.

  70. Cheaters get flagged

    July 10, 2026

    New

    • Players caught cheating in Kovaaks now carry a Cheater badge on their profile and the Leaderboard.

    Fixes

    • Verified checkmarks on the Leaderboard now update right away instead of waiting for the next board refresh.

  71. Jul 10

    July 10, 2026

    New

    • Tweets with video now play right on the page instead of sending you to X.
    • Your shareable profile card picks up your own shadow and glass style from Dashboard → Theme.

    Fixes

    • The downloaded card image no longer clips hard shadows or leaves a lopsided margin.
    • Peripheral type labels now follow the text case you picked for your profile.

  72. Jul 9

    July 9, 2026

    New

    • Copy someone's theme, or invite them to your team, from the new 3-dot menu on their profile header.
    • Pick your own body-text color, not just an accent, under Dashboard → Theme → Page.
    • Set your whole profile or team page to lowercase or uppercase under Dashboard → Theme → Typography.
    • Team pages can now make their banner and social tiles solid or transparent, matching the option profiles already had.
    • Coaches can turn off the Discord DM for new coaching requests in Dashboard → Preferences. The in-app notification still arrives.

    Fixes

    • The copied profile card now uses your theme, background, colors and corners, instead of always coming out white.
    • Swapping sides on the stream overlay now flips the match drawer too, so referees type scores into the same columns they see on stream.
    • Profile text that was stuck in a monospace font, like PB timestamps and playlist authors, now follows the font you picked.

    and you can now place up to 15 decals on your profile, up from 10.

  73. Jul 9

    July 9, 2026

    New

    • Grab a clean, shareable image of your profile card with the new 'Copy card' button on your card page.
    • Limited and special-edition peripheral colorways (like WALLHACK's Summer Miku grips) now show a 'limited edition' badge on your profile.

    Fixes

    • The rainbow display-name effect now loops smoothly instead of visibly cutting off and starting over.

    and a batch of visual consistency tweaks across profile badges, the kova logo, coach cards, and reviews.

  74. Jul 9

    July 9, 2026

    New

    • The Discord bot can now assign benchmark rank roles for more than one benchmark at once, so members can hold a Voltaic rank and a Viscose rank at the same time. Set it up under your team's Discord tab.

    Fixes

    • Viscose S2 rank requirements now match KovaaK's latest update, so your rank and rank-ups show the correct tier.
    • Profiles and teams using a dark or very light custom accent color now keep buttons, labels, prices and the page dock readable in both light and dark mode.

    Discord command replies (/pb, /profile, /bench, /leaderboard) got a cleaner look and now show who ran the command.

  75. Jul 8

    July 8, 2026

    New

    • Book a coaching session straight from a coach's page: pick an open slot on their weekly schedule and send a request with a note.
    • Coaches can set their weekly availability, or mark themselves flexible for anytime requests, in Dashboard → Coaching.

  76. Jul 8

    July 8, 2026

    New

    • Aim trainer stats moved into a strip up top, so targets no longer spawn behind the timer and score.
    • Tracking now locks your mouse like a real aim trainer, and the ball starts centered and holds still for a moment so you can settle your aim before it drifts.
    • The reaction leaderboard now shows each player's best time, consistency, and attempts, making preclicked or scripted scores easy to spot.

    The aim trainer also shows its reset and quit shortcuts while you play.

  77. Jul 7

    July 7, 2026

    New

    • Coaching offers now have their own Dashboard tab, separate from Links.

    Fixes

    • The Leaderboard lists every ranked player again, including top players that were being dropped.

  78. Jul 7

    July 7, 2026

    New

    • Adding a peripheral from the catalog is cleaner: each product shows once with its colors as tappable chips, and picking a color swaps in the matching photo, even after you have selected it.

  79. Jul 7

    July 7, 2026

    New

    • The Discord /profile command now shows your aimgroup, groups your gear and stats, and tells people when you joined Kova.
    • New-application alerts in Discord now tag the applicant, so you can reach them in one click.

    Fixes

    • Discord /pb and /leaderboard replies now show who ran the command and reliably display their charts.

  80. Jul 7

    July 7, 2026

    Fixes

  81. Jul 7

    July 7, 2026

    New

    • X (Twitter) video clips now show an "Open on X" link, so viewers can jump straight to the original post.

    Fixes

    • Peripheral spec fields (size, weight, price) now accept a comma as the decimal separator, like 24,5, not just a dot.

  83. Jul 7

    July 7, 2026

    Fixes

    • Adding a catalog item that comes in several colours now lets you pick the exact colour, and for mousepads the base type, right from the catalog search.

  84. Jul 7

    July 7, 2026

    New

    • Adding a mousepad or monitor from the catalog now fills in more details for you: mousepads carry their surface, glide, and base type (soft, mid, and so on), and monitors prefill their refresh rate, size, panel, and resolution.

    Fixes

    • Age labels like how long you've owned a peripheral no longer round up a year early.

  85. Jul 7

    July 7, 2026

    New

    • Catalog gear can now have colour variants, so when you add a mouse you pick its colour and it uses that colour's photo. Popular mice also prefill their weight.
    • The aim trainer now remembers which mode you were on (static, tracking, or ballsheet) when you reload or share the link, and the leaderboard shows your own rank below the top 10 when you're outside it.

    and consistent leaderboard styling across the aim and reaction tools.

  86. Jul 7

    July 7, 2026

    New

    • Adding a peripheral now lets you pick popular gear from a shared catalog, so you skip typing the brand, name, and uploading a photo. You can still upload your own photo to override it, and it falls back to the shared one if you remove yours.
    • On the reaction time leaderboard, comparing yourself to another player now replays both clicks on the test panel so you can watch who reacted first.

    and consistent rank badges across the leaderboards, plus some visual polish.

  87. Jul 7

    July 7, 2026

    New

    • Clicking a notification for an application or feedback idea now jumps you straight to that item instead of the generic page.

    Fixes

    • Your stream overlay is now private to you, so no one can run it just by knowing your username. Re-copy your overlay URL from Dashboard → Stream overlay into OBS to keep yours working.

  88. Jul 7

    July 7, 2026

    New

    • Your team's live Discord members roster can now live in its own channel, separate from the leaderboard boards. Set it under Dashboard → Discord → Members roster.

  89. Jul 6

    July 6, 2026

  90. Jul 6

    July 6, 2026

    New

    • Your stream overlay now updates in OBS automatically when you change its settings, so you no longer need to re-copy the URL. Manage it in Dashboard → Stream overlay.

    Fixes

    • Discord team leaderboards now show each member's real personal best, not just their best from the last few tries.

    • Fixed peripheral background removal failing to download its model.

    Plus the Discord members board now refreshes on join and leave, smoother review cards, and other small fixes.

  91. Jul 6

    July 6, 2026

    New

    • Aimgroup owners can add a live members board to Discord: your full roster grouped by role, each with their Kova rank, refreshed hourly. Set it up under Dashboard → Discord → Leaderboard board.
    • When you post feedback you can now tag it as Website or Discord bot, so requests are easier to triage.

    Fixes

    • You can now apply to newer aimgroups before they reach 5 members, so small teams can recruit and grow (they stay unlisted until then).
    • Fixed the "Open EVXL" button on Discord PB pings, which was linking to a page that did not exist.

  92. Jul 6

    July 6, 2026

    New

    • Personal-best pings in Discord now show a benchmark rank-progress bar under a cleaner trend graph, so you can see how close the PB got you to the next rank.

  93. Jul 6

    July 6, 2026

    New

    • Long lists now page instead of scrolling endlessly, across the Marketplace, Reviews, Tournaments, Coaching, and Aimgroups pages.
    • When you accept someone into your aimgroup, you now choose which role they join on instead of a fixed default.
    • Aimgroups can auto-assign Discord roles to every new member (set them in the Discord tab), handy for a shared ping role.

  94. Jul 5

    July 5, 2026

    New

  97. Jul 4

    July 4, 2026

    New

    • Add your mouse polling rate under Dashboard → Game settings, it shows next to your DPI and sens on your profile and card.

    June 30, 2026

    Fixes

    • Pick/ban no longer keeps asking for picks after a match is already decided (e.g. a 3-0 in a best-of-5).
    • Finished tournaments now read "started" with how long the event ran, instead of "starts".

  26. Kova is now public

    June 27, 2026

  33. Primary aimgroup fix

    June 26, 2026

    Fixes

    • Creating a new aimgroup no longer steals the "primary" star from the team you already had, meaning only one team shows on your profile. If two of your teams ended up starred open the ⋯ menu on the one you want and pick "set as primary" to fix it.

  34. Jun 26

    June 26, 2026

  35. Jun 26

    June 26, 2026

    Fixes

  36. Jun 26

    June 26, 2026

    New

    Fixes

    • The "what's new" popup no longer appears on stream overlays, so it can't show up on your OBS capture.

    Plus tidier bracket shadows and connector lines when the overlay is scaled.

  37. Jun 25

    June 25, 2026

    Fixes

    • Team links that point at a known platform (like a Twitter URL) no longer double up in your socials list. Links and socials stay separate.

  40. Jun 24

    June 24, 2026

    New

    • The tournament stream overlays got a full editor: drag and resize the score, pick/ban, and bracket overlays on a 1080p canvas to place each one exactly. Position is set in Kova now, so the OBS browser source just fills your 1920×1080 scene (Tournament dashboard → Stream overlay).
    • Preview your overlays with sample match data: best-of, live scores, pick/ban drafts, and idle or champion states! So you can set them up before going live.
    • Drop your OBS layout in as a reference backdrop while positioning, so overlays line up with your cams and frame.
    • Referees can now flip which player shows on the left or right of the score overlay, live from the match controls.

  41. Jun 24

    June 24, 2026

    New

    • New theme control sets the banner and social icons to solid or fully transparent independently of the rest of your cards, so a blank banner no longer goes see-through under frosted or liquid glass (Dashboard → Theme → Cards).

  45. Jun 23

    • Tournament stream overlays got a redesign: a cleaner score card with player avatars and team logos, plus a refined bracket layout for OBS.
    • Your Kovaaks personal-best cards now show your rank in each benchmark (like "Viscose S2 · lavender"), not just the benchmark name.
    • Discord personal-best pings now call out when a new score bumps your rank in a benchmark.

    Fixes

    • Benchmark ranks you showcase now update themselves when you rank up, instead of staying frozen at the rank you had when you added them.

  51. Jun 21

    June 21, 2026

    • Give your profile background subtle motion, with animation patterns tailored to each style (gradient, aurora, mesh, grid, and dots). Set it in Dashboard → Theme → Page.
    • Pick the exact colors for your gradient, aurora, and mesh backgrounds instead of just following your accent. In Dashboard → Theme → Page.

  55. Jun 20

    June 20, 2026

    New

    June 20, 2026

  62. Jun 18

    Fixes

    Fixes

    • Discord PB pings now show the score you actually just hit, instead of an older value while KovaaK's leaderboard caught up.

  70. Reliable PB pings

    June 15, 2026

    Fixes

    Fixes

  78. Ranks show up faster

    June 14, 2026

  79. Rank & PB graph fixes

    June 14, 2026

    Fixes

    • Your benchmark rank no longer shows as 'unranked' when the rank service has a temporary hiccup. We keep your last known rank until it's reachable again.

  80. Tidier Discord errors

    • A live leaderboard message the bot pins and refreshes hourly with your team's top scores on a scenario.

    • The stream overlay now shows your Discord @username instead of a string of numbers.

  97. Founder invite fix

    June 11, 2026

  98. Discord bot

    June 11, 2026

    New

  99. Application fixes

    June 11, 2026

    Fixes

    • Accepting an aimgroup application no longer fails with a generic error when the applicant never finished their Kova signup.

    June 10, 2026

    New

    • Show your total KovaaK's hours in your profile header. Opt in under Dashboard → Profile, next to your KovaaK's link.

  102. Review applications together

    June 10, 2026

    New

    • Team applications: star promising applications. Shared with everyone who reviews, with a starred filter in the inbox.
    • Team applications: leave internal notes on an application. Visible to your reviewers, never the applicant.

    And a few small visual fixes.

  103. Founder invites

    June 10, 2026

    New

    • First 25 members: you got an invite code to share with a friend. Find it on your dashboard.

    • Stream overlay: the typewriter display-name effect now animates in the overlay too.
    • Your links dashboard now groups links, affiliates, and coaching into separate sections.

    Fixes

    • Opening a tournament shows a loading screen right away instead of looking stuck on the previous page.
    • The coaching “starting price” field can now be cleared instead of snapping back to 0.
    • Hover a coaching card on your profile to read its full description.

    Plus a round of stream overlay polish. Cleaner scores, badges, spacing, and borders.

  106. Claimed spots show your name and avatar

    June 8, 2026

    Fixes

    • Claiming a tournament spot now needs a finished Kova profile, so your name and avatar always show in the bracket instead of a blank placeholder.

  107. Claiming your tournament spot works again

    June 8, 2026

    Fixes

    • Claiming a tournament spot from your pick/ban link no longer errors out. It now attaches the spot to your account cleanly.

    Plus the highlighted match card in a bracket no longer looks clipped on the edge.

  108. More honest polling rate test

    June 8, 2026

    Fixes

    • The polling rate test now warns when you’re on a Firefox-based browser (incl. Zen) that caps mouse samples at your refresh rate. Switch to a Chromium browser for a real reading.
    • High-hz mice (4k/8k) read more accurately instead of being undercounted.

  109. Steadier bracket cards

    June 8, 2026

    Fixes

    • Clicking a match in the bracket no longer nudges the card’s contents. The highlight stays put now.

  110. Tournament tidy-ups

    June 8, 2026

    Fixes

    • The tournament stats tab now waits until a match is played, instead of showing a zeroed-out page on a freshly generated bracket.

    Plus the prize-pool total now sits beside the host line in the tournament header.

  111. Link previews that actually show up

    June 8, 2026

    Fixes

    • Sharing a profile, aimgroup, or marketplace link in Discord now reliably shows the preview banner instead of a broken-image error.

  112. Typewriter names & a polling-rate tool

    June 8, 2026

    New

    • New "typewriter" effect for your display name. It types and retypes your name on a loop; pick the speed and cursor style in Dashboard → Theme.

    Plus a navbar that tucks away as you scroll and some card and hover polish across the site.

  113. Third-place, your call

    June 8, 2026

    New

    • Tournament hosts can turn the third-place match on or off. Keep the bronze playoff, or pay 3rd and 4th equally with no extra game.
    • The tournament header now shows the total prize pool alongside the top placements.

  114. Overlay fixes

    June 7, 2026

    Fixes

    • Stream overlay now shows your real Discord handle instead of “@users”.
    • Fixed square corners on the stream overlay card when using a see-through (glass) theme.

  115. Smarter tournament streaming

    June 7, 2026

    New

    • One "auto" stream overlay that follows the match for you: pick/ban while a match drafts, the score once it’s live, the bracket between matches. Set it once in OBS and never switch scenes.
    • Tournaments can now be scheduled as "upcoming": publicly listed, no signups, and they go live automatically at the start time (or start one early).
    • Hosts can skip registration entirely and start a hand-seeded event straight away.
    • Add a livestream link (and a VOD link once it’s done) to your tournament. Shown as watch live / watch replay.
    • Score overlay now shows head-to-head record, lets you swap player sides live, and the bracket overlay has a footer with the prize pool, latest result and casters.

    Plus a live preview while writing rules and while setting up a tournament, and clearer participant seeding controls.

  116. Faster scenario pool setup

    June 6, 2026

    New

    • Building a tournament scenario pool: paste a whole list at once. Copy a name + link column straight from a spreadsheet and each row becomes a scenario with its quick-play link.
    • You can now rename your own custom scenarios in the pool.

  117. Tournament stats & standings

    June 6, 2026

    New

    • Tournament cards now show the winner and top prize once an event finishes.

    Fixes

    • The random tiebreaker scenario reveal now plays reliably during pick/ban.
    • Matches are now started only by the host, an organizer, or a referee. Players can no longer start their own (and referees can run pick/ban too).

    And hosts get ready-made BO3/BO5 “category or scenario” pick-ban presets for seeded brackets.

  118. Overlay + benchmark fixes

    June 5, 2026

    New

    • You can now add Telegram to your profile socials.
    • Referees can now start the next tournament round, not just the host.

    Fixes

    • Tournament stream overlays now have a solid background instead of showing whatever is behind them on stream.
    • Stream overlays keep a fixed size in OBS, so the live match card no longer gets cut off when it grows from the “starting soon” screen.
    • The KovaaK's benchmark picker now shows the same rank as your profile. It was reading too high for energy-based benchmarks like Voltaic.
    • Your display name gradient renders correctly now, and the vertical / horizontal / diagonal directions match what you pick.
    • Tournament brackets update live again the instant a result is recorded.

    Plus the bracket overlay is larger, the “kova.” banner shimmer is smoother, forfeits show a proper walkover scoreline, and finishing places now appear inline in the tournament stats.

    June 5, 2026

    New

    • Your stream overlay now shows your display name effect (gradient, glow, shimmer, rainbow) and card style, matching your profile.

    Fixes

    • The leaderboard now loads instantly after an update instead of making the first visitor wait for it to rebuild.

  120. Mobile decals fix

    June 4, 2026

    Fixes

    • Profile decals no longer overlap your content on phones. They now scale with the page so they sit where you placed them on every screen size.

    And your latest PB card’s trend graph now ends on the personal best itself instead of trailing off after it.

  121. Rank distribution

    June 3, 2026

    New

    • The players leaderboard now shows a graph of how many players sit at each rank for the selected benchmark.

  122. Leaderboard tidy-up

    June 3, 2026

    Fixes

    • The leaderboard’s bottom fade no longer lingers over the last row once you’ve scrolled to the end.

    Dropped the redundant KovaaK's column (the EVXL link covers it) and tidied the “next update” indicator.

  123. EVXL deep links

    June 3, 2026

    New

    • The leaderboard’s EVXL link now opens straight to that player’s ranking on the exact benchmark, instead of just their profile.

  124. Leaderboard polish

    June 3, 2026

    New

    • The leaderboard now links straight to each player’s EVXL benchmark profile from a new column.
    • A “find me” button on the leaderboard jumps to your own row.

    Plus medal styling for the top three and a cleaner leaderboard table.

  125. Leaderboards

    June 3, 2026

    New

    • New leaderboards rank players and aimgroups by their Voltaic and Viscose benchmark ranks. A separate board for each benchmark. Find it in the nav; it refreshes once a day.
    • Your latest KovaaK's PB cards now show a little score-trend sparkline, plus a green "+X" badge when a score beats your previous best.
    • Profile decals now pin to a section of your profile, so they stay put next to your content across every screen size instead of drifting.
    • Picking which benchmark rank to feature on your profile is now a grid of rank cards in Dashboard → KovaaK's, with unranked benchmarks dimmed.

  126. Tournament no-shows

    June 2, 2026

    New

    • Hosts and referees can now mark a no-show on a match. The player who showed up is awarded the win and it’s recorded as a forfeit.
    • Your team’s application inbox now pages through applications one at a time with left/right arrows, instead of one long stack.

  127. Jun 2

    June 2, 2026

    Fixes

    • Peripheral and marketplace images no longer show a faint box outline around them on profiles with a custom background or card transparency.

  128. Stream overlays

    New

  130. Tournament polish

    June 1, 2026

    New

    • Prize pools now show up in a tournament’s rules, with payouts you can set per placement or placement range.

    Fixes

    • Live brackets, scores, and pick/ban now update on their own during a tournament again, without a manual refresh.
    • Qualifier scores count your best run inside the qualifier window, even if it didn’t beat your all-time personal best.

May 2026

  1. May 31

    May 31, 2026

    Fixes

  2. May 31

    May 31, 2026

    New

    • You can now mute “a team hosted a new giveaway” on its own, separate from giveaway wins. Under preferences.

  3. Tournament auto-scoring

    May 31, 2026

    New

    • Tournament hosts can auto-fill a game’s scores from KovaaK's. One click pulls each player’s best run during the match window, in the match drawer.

    Fixes

    • Searching for a KovaaK's scenario no longer comes up empty on certain names. One bad result from KovaaK's used to break the whole search.

  4. Applications & giveaway alerts

    May 31, 2026

    New

    • You now get a notification whenever a team hosts a new giveaway. Turn it off anytime under preferences.
    • Teams can send applicants to their own link (Discord, Google form, etc.) instead of the built-in form. Set it under applications, with an optional “how to join” note shown on the team page. No Kova account needed to apply.
    • Team owners can import their application questions from a public Google form. Paste the link and its sections and fields come in to edit.

    Plus you can now delete an application form to start fresh.

  5. Theme polish

    May 31, 2026

    New

    • Profiles now show an admin badge next to the name for the Kova team.

    Plus a smooth light/dark switch animation and cleaner, more consistent option previews in the theme editor.

  6. Qualifier seeding

    May 31, 2026

    Fixes

    • The qualifier board now keeps updating as players post scores during the window, and locks to a final seeding once registration closes.

    Plus a heads-up on the board when a player’s KovaaK's name is too short for us to read their scores.

  7. Smoother live tournaments

    May 31, 2026

    Fixes

    • Tournament pages and overlays now stay up to date on their own and update smoothly as scores come in, instead of flickering or reloading constantly.

    And the qualifier board got a cleaner layout with numbered scenarios and highlighted top seeds.

  8. May 31

    May 31, 2026

    Fixes

    • Link previews on Discord and social sites now show your banner and avatar. Some profiles were coming up with a blank thumbnail before.

  9. Tournament qualifiers

    May 30, 2026

    New

    • Tournaments with a KovaaK's qualifier now show a live seeding board on the tournament page. The scenarios to play, each with a one-click "play" button that launches it in KovaaK's, and a standing that updates as players post scores.
    • Registering for a qualifier is one click now. The scores you set on those scenarios during the qualifier are pulled in automatically and update your seed live, no manual entry.

    Fixes

    • The Discord icon on a profile now copies the person's actual @username instead of their display name.
    • The "latest KovaaK's pb's" on a profile now show your real rank, score, and sens. They could previously show another player's numbers.

    And pages show a loading state instead of hanging, plus the date picker now starts the week on Monday.

  10. Overlay & theme editor refresh

    May 29, 2026

    New

    • The overlay setup page is now tabbed with a live preview, plus new controls for corner radius, card shadow, and how long each slide stays up.
    • Two new overlay effects to pick from: a soft corner vignette and a slowly-orbiting accent rim.
    • The theme editor preview now shows your real peripheral, showcase items, and latest KovaaK's PB instead of placeholders.
    • Pick any accent color with the new built-in color picker. Hue and lightness sliders plus a hex field.
    • Notification settings moved to a new "preferences" page, where you can also turn the click-spark cursor effect on or off.

    And a refreshed dashboard sidebar plus other small tweaks.

  11. Background removal fix

    May 28, 2026

    Fixes

    • The "remove background & normalize size" button on peripheral image uploads now actually works. Was silently blocked in production.

  12. Discord click-to-copy, social tooltips

    May 28, 2026

    New

    • Clicking the Discord icon on someone's header now copies their Discord username to your clipboard. Handy since Discord profile URLs don't open in the browser.
    • Every social icon now has a hover tooltip showing the platform (or, for Discord, the username).

    Fixes

    • The auto-generated Steam friend code chip is gone now that Steam is a regular removable social. No more duplicate Steam icons in the header.
    • Header social order is now the reverse of your dashboard list, so the top entry sits rightmost (closest to the settings/apply buttons).

  13. Discord + Steam icons auto-added to your socials

    May 28, 2026

    New

    • Discord is automatically added to your socials when you sign up, so it shows in your header without any setup, and you can remove it from Dashboard → Socials if you don't want it.
    • Steam gets the same treatment: linking a Steam profile now also adds a Steam icon to your socials, and removing the icon doesn't unlink your Steam. Useful if you want the Steam ID stored for KovaaK's but not visible on your page.

  14. Aim card refresh + peripheral quick-status

    May 28, 2026

    New

    • Change a peripheral's status (in use, for sale, wishlist, etc.) straight from the actions menu in Dashboard → Peripherals. No need to open the edit form.
    • /card got a refresh: wider proportions, bolder name, quote-styled bio, and a 2-column gear list that fits long product names.
    • Reviews on your profile now show up to 4 in a single row instead of 3.
    • "social activity" section is now called "videos", and the showcase form labels the slot "achievement" instead of "rank".

    • Role colors on team rosters now stay readable when the chosen color is too dark for dark mode or too light for light mode.

    And a bunch of layout consistency tweaks across profile sections.

  15. Copy your /card, gear on /card, team rank distribution

    May 28, 2026

    New

    • One-click "copy card" button on your /card grabs the card as an image and writes it straight to your clipboard. Paste into Discord or Twitter.

    • Toast notifications now have a "dismiss" button instead of the small x.

    Fixes

    • The KovaaK's PB cards no longer show endless loading shimmers when rank or cm/360 are missing. They fall back to a dash.

  16. Attach screenshots to feedback

    May 28, 2026

    New

    • Attach a screenshot when you submit feedback on the beta page. Handy for showing a bug instead of describing it.

  17. Add your own games

    May 27, 2026

    New

    • Add any game to your profile, not just the ones we list. Paste the game's website URL and we grab its icon and name automatically. You can swap either before adding under Dashboard → Games.
    • Game tiles on your profile now show the game name in a tooltip on hover.

    Refreshed the preset icons for Apex, CS2, COD, the Finals, Deadlock, Battlefield, Marvel Rivals, Overwatch and Rainbow Six.

    May 27, 2026

    • Edit your banner and avatar straight from Dashboard → Profile.
    • Team owners and officers can now edit the team banner and logo from Dashboard → Aimgroups → Info.
    • Showcase group names keep your casing. No more forced uppercase on the public profile.

    Fixes

    • Country picker no longer briefly shrinks when you click it.

    The whole banner/avatar/logo area is now clickable to edit (not just the tiny pencil), and the edit menu pops up where you actually clicked.

  19. Dismissible alerts

    May 27, 2026

    Fixes

    • Toast alerts (like "peripheral saved") now have a close button so they no longer block buttons underneath while waiting to fade out.

  20. Usernames, Discord linking & Jade Palace Air

    May 27, 2026

    New

    • Usernames now keep your case. Type `m0narcS` and that's how it shows on your profile and in shared links. You can still be reached at any casing.
    • Jade Palace Air benchmarks added alongside Jade Palace Ground. Pick it as your source in Dashboard → Profile and your rank chips will use it.
    • New "fill steam + KovaaK's from my discord account" button under Dashboard → Profile, and new signups get those fields auto-filled the moment you create your profile.
    • Decal editor: shift-click stickers to multi-select, then drag any selected one to move the whole group or delete them all at once.
    • Pick how your profile's section titles are cased in Dashboard → Theme under typography. lowercase, Title Case, UPPERCASE, or this_case.
    • The showcase benchmark picker now lists every benchmark, with unranked ones dimmed so you can see which playlists you haven't touched yet.
    • Aim trainer leaderboard now shows the accuracy you hit on each best score next to the score itself.

    Fixes

    • Aimgroup report button now follows your team's theme like the buttons next to it, instead of staying dark.

    New decals also spawn at the top of the page now instead of mid-screen.

  21. Sticker fix

    May 26, 2026

    Fixes

    • Uploaded stickers on profiles now render solid instead of looking washed out. Only the built-in preset icons stay faint.

  22. Aim trainer tweaks

    May 26, 2026

    New

    • Aim trainer now shows live accuracy next to your score, and you can press x mid-run to instantly restart.

  23. Showcase groups

    May 26, 2026

    New

    • Split your showcase into named groups (e.g. one for in-game ranks, another for KovaaK's PBs) so it stops turning into one overcrowded list. Manage them in Dashboard → Showcase; each group shows as its own section on your profile.

    Fixes

    • The pinned showcase pill on your /card now matches the Steam friend code chip right below it. Same shape and shadow instead of a stray round pill.

    Plus refreshed privacy and terms pages, a few faster team-page loads, and removed the stale "new" badge in the dashboard sidebar.

  24. Team themes + pixel font

    May 26, 2026

    New

    • Team themes now have the same one-click presets as profile themes (minimal, glass, midnight, cyber, retro, brutalist), plus a new arcade preset with the new Press Start 2P pixel font.

    Plus smaller hover, font-preload and metadata polish across team pages.

  25. Tournament stream overlay

    May 25, 2026

    New

    • Stream overlay for tournaments. Add it as an OBS browser source to show the live match's score, picks and players (with their team); it updates live and keeps the last result on screen between matches. Set it up in the new 'stream overlay' tab.
    • Scenarios can now be played best-of-n (e.g. 3 tries, highest score counts). The host or referee enters each try and the best one wins the map.

    Fixes

    • Best-of is now respected when scoring. A single game no longer ends a best-of-3 or best-of-5 match.
    • Resetting a bracket now rebuilds it instead of getting stuck on "building bracket".

    The match-format builder got a live preview and one-click "add game" blocks, the lower seed can now be the one to choose sides, categories can be capped at two plays, and best-of shows consistently across the bracket, match view and overlay.

  26. Custom tournaments & pick/ban links

    May 23, 2026

    New

    • Players without a Kova account can now do their own pick/ban. Hosts share a private per-player link and that player picks and bans on their turn, no login needed.

    • Host a tournament under a custom name, not just your profile or a team.
    • New match-format option: draw a random set of scenarios for each match from a bigger pool.

    Pick/ban order can follow seeding (higher seed bans first, correct in every round), player a/b order is still available, and pick/ban now works in single-elimination brackets too.

  27. Aim trainer

    May 23, 2026

    New

    • New in-browser aim trainer under tools: static (click targets, misses cost a point) and tracking (stay on a moving target) for 60-second runs, with a leaderboard and your best saved per mode.

  28. Reposition your photos

    May 22, 2026

    New

    • Drag to reposition your profile picture and banner. Hover the image, hit reposition, and drag to frame an off-center photo.

    Fixes

    • Song and playlist titles with apostrophes or special characters now show correctly instead of codes like &#x27;.

    Tournament brackets are clearer. Connector lines between matches, a per-game history in the match view, and the live timer moved into the header; the notifications page also moved into your account menu.

  29. Tournament qualifiers & 2v2 scoring

    May 22, 2026

    New

    • Tournaments can now have a KovaaK's qualifier. Hosts require players to post set scores to register, auto-checked from the leaderboard with a manual fallback the host approves.
    • 2v2 duos are scored by combined team score. Each teammate enters their score per game and the higher total wins, best-of-3/5.
    • Pick your duo partner with a live search of Kova users instead of typing their exact name.

    Fixes

    • Two teams can no longer register under the same name in one tournament.

    The tournament register page now shows spots left, the deadline, and the rules inline, plus clearer bracket cards and day-based countdowns.

  30. Stickers stay put

    May 22, 2026

    Fixes

    • Profile stickers now stay pinned to where you placed them as the page scrolls, instead of floating over everything.

    Stickers now only show on your main profile, and the aim card styling is more consistent.

  31. Product images on cards

    May 22, 2026

    New

    • Show your uploaded product images right on your peripheral cards. Turn it on under Dashboard → Peripherals.

    Your profile banner now shows a default until you upload your own, plus some visual polish.

  32. Accent shadow

    May 21, 2026

    New

    • New "hard accent" card shadow in Dashboard → Theme. A bold block shadow in your accent color instead of black.

    Fixes

    • The account menu no longer briefly shows "finish setup" when your profile is already set up.

    And some theme polish.

  33. Brutalist theme

    May 21, 2026

    New

    • New "brutalist" theme in Dashboard → Theme. Chunky hard shadows and cards that press down when you hover them, as a one-click preset or mix the new shadow, hover, and border options yourself.

  34. Monitors in your setup

    May 21, 2026

    New

    • Add monitors to your peripherals. Track refresh rate, resolution, size, and panel type, under Dashboard → Peripherals.

  35. Profile decals

    May 21, 2026

    New

    • Decorate your profile with decals. Drop preset stickers or upload your own, then drag, resize, rotate, and layer them right on your live profile, under Dashboard → Decals.

    And some quality-of-life changes.

  36. Showcase scenario fix

    May 21, 2026

    Fixes

    • Adding a KovaaK's scenario to your showcase now waits for your rank and score to load before it can be picked, so they no longer get left off.

  37. Action confirmations & per-notification delete

    May 21, 2026

    New

    • Actions now confirm with a toast. Saving, adding, inviting, deleting and more pop a quick confirmation, and errors appear the same way.
    • Remove a single notification. Each item in the notifications menu now has its own ✕ to dismiss just that one, instead of only "clear all".

  38. Name effects, overlay transitions & typeable dates

    May 20, 2026

    New

    • Restyle your display name in Dashboard → Theme. Gradient, glow, shimmer, outline, or rainbow (with 8 palettes incl. pride flags), each with its own options like direction, intensity, and animation.
    • Pick how your stream overlay animates between slides (slide, fade, zoom, rise, or blur) plus an optional shine sweep, under Dashboard → Overlay.
    • Type dates straight into date fields. They auto-format as you type in your local format, and you can still pick from the calendar.
    • Add a KovaaK's playlist by searching its name or creator, not just the share code. Pick it from the dropdown and the details fill in.
    • Browse the full changelog any time from the new "changelog" link in the footer.

  39. Peripheral uploads keep the original image

    May 20, 2026

    New

    • Uploading a peripheral image now keeps it as-is. Background removal is opt-in via the "remove background & normalize size" button once the image is attached.

  40. Showcase benchmark fix

    May 20, 2026

    Fixes

    • Adding a showcase item from a Viscose, Lemon Static, or Transcendent benchmark no longer errors when you save.

  41. Cleaner peripheral cutouts & editor tweaks

    May 20, 2026

    New

    • Re-run background removal on a peripheral photo you already uploaded. There's now a "remove background & normalize size" button in the peripheral editor.
    • Peripheral background removal produces cleaner, sharper cutouts.
    • Mousepad surface is now a cloth / glass dropdown in the peripheral editor.
    • Pick a peripheral's acquired date from a calendar instead of typing it.

    Fixes

    • The save bar no longer stays up after you change a peripheral field and set it back to what it was.

  42. Coaching, liquid glass & overlay text size

    May 20, 2026

    New

    • Offer coaching from your profile. Pick the new "coaching" type in Dashboard → Links and add a title, booking link, and starting price. It gets its own profile section and a stream overlay slide.
    • New "liquid glass" card style under Theme → Transparency. More translucent and vivid than the old glass, and it works on team themes too.
    • Resize your stream overlay text in Dashboard → Stream overlay. Choose small, medium, or large.

    Fixes

    • Theme card hover (glow and lift) now works even when card shadows are turned off.

  43. Security hardening

    May 20, 2026

    Fixes

    • Security hardening across a few public endpoints.

  44. Steam autofill from KovaaK's

    May 19, 2026

    New

    • When your KovaaK's profile is linked, Dashboard → Profile now shows a one-click button to fill the Steam field with the Steam account linked to that KovaaK's profile.

  45. Benchmark picker polish

    May 19, 2026

    New

    • Lemon Static is now one benchmark in Dashboard → Profile instead of being split into intermediate and advanced.
    • When you add a scenario score to your showcase that fits multiple benchmarks (e.g. Voltaic S5 and Viscose), you now pick which one to feature instead of always getting the first match.

  46. Lemon Static benchmark

    May 19, 2026

    New

    • Lemon Static is now a supported KovaaK's benchmark. Pick it in Dashboard → Profile to feature your rank, or add it from your showcase like the other benchmarks.
    • Both Lemon Static playlists (intermediate and advanced) show up separately so you can feature each rank on its own.
    • PB cards now show a rank chip for every benchmark a scenario belongs to. Scenarios shared between Viscose and Lemon Static will surface both chips instead of just one.

  47. Giveaways on explore

    May 19, 2026

    New

    • The explore page now has a "newest giveaways" section so you can find live giveaways without hunting through team pages.

  48. Mobile + notifications

    May 19, 2026

    New

    • Clear all notifications from the bell dropdown with the new trash button next to "mark all read".

    Fixes

    • The dashboard sidebar on phones now scrolls on its own. Before, dragging the menu just scrolled the page behind it.

  49. Sign-in fix

    May 19, 2026

    Fixes

    • Signing in with a Discord account that has no email now shows a clear message telling you to add one. Before, the window just closed and dumped you on the landing page.

  50. Mobile fixes

    May 19, 2026

    Fixes

    • Tapping "explore" or "tools" in the top bar on phones now opens the menu instead of jumping straight to the index. The dropdown items were unreachable before.
    • Profile headers on phones give your name and meta line the full row instead of cramming them next to the avatar.
    • The floating dock on profile pages no longer covers the last row of cards on phones.
    • The dashboard menu button on phones no longer overlaps save buttons at the bottom of long pages.
    • Tap a bar on the dashboard views-over-time chart to see that day's breakdown. The tooltip was hover-only before.

  51. May 19

    May 19, 2026

    New

    • Add pronouns to your profile under Dashboard → Profile. Shown next to your username in the header.
    • Download a JSON of everything you've made on Kova from the new "export your data" link in your sidebar menu.
    • Compact dashboard sidebar with an avatar + name footer that opens sign out, export, and delete in one click.

    Fixes

    • /portfolios "browse all" now actually shows every portfolio, not just the first 32.
    • Steam and KovaaK's fields no longer keep an accent outline once connected.

  52. May 19

    May 19, 2026

    Fixes

    • Signup numbers no longer leave gaps from people who logged in without an invite. Every member badge is now its true position in line.

  53. May 19

    May 19, 2026

    New

    • Pin individual Spotify tracks to your profile, not just playlists. Drop any /track/ link under Dashboard → Music.
    • Every profile now shows a signup number; the first 100 accounts get a founder crown next to their name.
    • Search a user by signup number. Type "#42" in /explore or in command-k.

  54. May 18

    May 18, 2026

    New

    • Aimgroups can pin a tweet to their team page. Paste a URL under Dashboard → Info.
    • Reaction time leaderboard now ranks by the median of your last 10 trials, not a single lucky click. Existing scores were reset.

    Fixes

    • Team dashboard activity feed shows member avatars and usernames link to their portfolio.

  55. May 18

    May 18, 2026

    New

    • Aimgroups can now run public giveaways. Set a prize, winner count, and end date in the new "giveaways" tab on your team dashboard. Anyone with a Kova account can enter from your team page or the new global /giveaways feed; winners are picked automatically when entries close and get a notification.
    • Aimgroups now have custom roles. Owners can create roles like "content creator" or "aimer" in the members tab, give each one its own color, and pick the permission tier (owner / admin / aimer) that the role gets. Every existing team starts with owner / admin / aimer seeded so nothing breaks.
    • Team owners can now manage other owners. Kicking, demoting, and reassigning roles all work between owners (the team still always keeps at least one owner).
    • Affiliate links now support fixed-amount discounts in $ or € on top of the existing % option. Pick the unit next to the discount input when editing a link.
    • Team invites now send the invited user a notification, so they don't have to keep checking the aimgroups dashboard to spot it.
    • Team URL is now derived from the team name and copyable in one click. Rename the team and the URL follows automatically; no more manual slug field to keep in sync.
    • Membership setting (invite-only vs applications open) lives in the applications tab now, right next to the form and inbox where you actually use it.

    Fixes

    • The "today" cell in date pickers is now clearly visible in both light and dark mode. Was previously rendering as nearly-invisible white-on-white.
    • Picking a KovaaK's benchmark in the showcase no longer auto-fills the optional metadata link with a KovaaK's search URL you'd have to clear by hand.

  56. May 18

    May 18, 2026

    New

    • Tournaments are live. Browse upcoming brackets at /tournaments, register or accept an invite, check in before the match, and watch the bracket update in real time. Supports single-elim, double-elim, round-robin, and Swiss, with live pick/ban against a scenario pool and a streamer-ready overlay for the current match. Hosting is admin-run for now.
    • Your accent color now paints the shimmer banner on your /card share page when you haven't set a banner image.

    Fixes

    • The "latest KovaaK's pb's" section now centers when you have fewer than 3 cards. No more lopsided rows stuck at the edges.
    • Peripheral image upload now explains why an image was rejected (wrong format, too large, bg-removal couldn't process it) instead of failing silently.

  57. May 17

    May 17, 2026

    Fixes

    • The "a new version is live" prompt now lists what shipped right inside it, so you no longer get a second pop-up after reloading.

  58. May 17

    May 17, 2026

    New

    • Peripheral image upload now strips the background and crops every photo to a consistent size so all your gear renders at the same scale. Toggle it off in the upload card if you'd rather keep the original.

  59. May 17

    May 17, 2026

    New

    • New leaderboard at Tools → Reaction. Your best classic and go / no-go times now auto-submit when you're signed in, and you can hit "compare" on any row to replay your PB side-by-side against theirs.

    Fixes

    • The "what's new" pop-up now shows the latest release on your first reload after an update, instead of always being one push behind.

  60. May 17

    May 17, 2026

    New

    • New "games" section on your profile. Pick the games you primarily play (Valorant, CS2, Apex, Overwatch 2, Marvel Rivals, the Finals, Fortnite, R6, COD, Deadlock, Battlefield) and they appear as a row of icons. Manage them under Dashboard → Games.

  61. May 16

    May 16, 2026

    New

    • You now get a notification when a /beta feature, bug, or improvement you submitted or upvoted ships
    • When picking a benchmark for your showcase, ones already in your showcase are flagged so you don't add the same rank twice

    Fixes

    • Team rank chip now shows on every team. Previously stayed hidden if any member had picked a non-Voltaic source
    • /beta entries from users without a portfolio now show their Discord name instead of being blank

  62. May 16

    May 16, 2026

    New

    • Card styling is now fully theme-driven everywhere. Your radius, shadow, opacity, border and hover settings apply uniformly across every section

    Fixes

  63. May 16

    May 16, 2026

    New

    • In-app notifications. Bell in the top bar; team applications, accept/reject, role changes, kicks land here. Tune which ones you get in Dashboard → Notifications
    • Pick a KovaaK's scenario or benchmark when creating a showcase item. Auto-fills the title, your rank, and the icon
    • Your latest PB cards now show the Voltaic / Jade Palace / Viscose rank your score earns
    • Viscose S1 + S2 added. Colored rank badges (lemming → seal, cinnabar → fuchsia, wool → silk, interloper → eclipse)
    • Header rank badge is now whatever you pin in your showcase. No more separate setting
    • Stream overlay has its own page now (Dashboard → Stream overlay) with the setup inline; pick the overlay font for any mode
