Live esports stats.
In-play boards with plan-tier delay made explicit.
Live returns in-play match state and optional boxscore, events, and odds. Builder and Pro are under 2 seconds. Hobby is a 15-second delay. Sandbox has no live desk.
Why this surface exists
Live without a stated delay is a lie. KashRock publishes the delay per plan and serves it from a real delayed snapshot on Hobby.
Practical rule: Sandbox has no live desk — live starts at Hobby.
What the record represents
Games list plus optional include blocks for boxscore, events, and odds.
