You must first request a page, extract the session ID they give you from an href field (,the myarea var) then use that session ID when you pull the data. It's really silly the way they did it. They store the number of teams to display/page server side rather than client side.

That was why I decided to use TBA api because it was too much of a hassle to do that. Parsing from the match results page and pages like that though is really easy.
