Hey! I'm glad you enjoyed this project! I agree that using Liquipedia's API will give a more comprehensive team list but I'm afraid that will make the script that gets the data take extremely long to run and I'm not sure it is necessary. This is because:
As such, I do not believe that the increase in script runtime is worth it. However, if you disagree (especially if you find more errors where a team is missing some players) please let me know!
I'm an avid pro CS fan, and I really like the project. Honestly the only thing I dislike about this currently is that there are quite a lot of data discrepancies in the team data, meaning some answers that would be correct just aren't there (for example the other day the one with 3DMax was missing players, notably Allu).
HLTV just does not have full historical team data, meanwhile Liquipedia basically has all of it you could ever want, and it is as wholly accurate as a public source can be.
So my suggestion here is to pull historical team data from Liquipedia's API instead to improve accuracy
