Editorial standards
The desk operates as an editorial publication, not a betting platform, not a content mill, not a sponsor vehicle. Where a commercial partner holds a relationship with a roster, tournament or circuit, the desk notes the relationship on the relevant page. The editorial work is independent of every commercial relationship on the site.
Every factual claim on the desk is tied to a primary source. Where a primary source is unavailable, the desk does not publish — the absence is itself a fact the desk will surface rather than a gap to fill with speculation.
Verification protocol
The desk's verification chain runs: organiser disclosure → verified social post → regional press → third-party tracker. The first source in the chain that is verifiable is the source cited. Where multiple sources are available, the desk cites the highest in the chain and notes the others.
Verification is not a one-time check. Where a source is updated, the desk updates the entry; where a source is withdrawn, the desk notes the withdrawal and removes the claim.
Corrections
Corrections are published openly on the standards page and noted on the original entry. The desk does not edit entries silently — every change is logged with the original claim, the corrected claim and the date of the correction.
Where a reader submits a correction with a primary source, the desk will publish the correction and credit the contributor unless the contributor asks to remain anonymous.
Standards desk
Privacy
The desk does not collect personal data beyond what the reader voluntarily submits via the corrections or contact forms. Where the desk publishes a correction credited to a contributor, the contributor's name is published only with their explicit consent. The desk does not run third-party advertising trackers, does not run analytics that fingerprint individual readers, and does not share reader-submitted data with commercial partners.
Terms
The desk publishes editorial coverage of competitive esports. The desk does not operate wagering markets, accept deposits, or run paid fantasy contests. Where a regulated wagering market on esports exists in a reader's jurisdiction, age and identity checks apply; the desk's editorial content does not.
Affiliate links on the desk route to the operator's first-party page, with the relationship disclosed via the link's rel attributes. Affiliate copy is never inside editorial prose; the desk separates editorial and commercial content strictly.
Contact
For corrections, tips and editorial enquiries, use the contact form on this page. For privacy enquiries, the same form is sufficient — the desk will route the message to the appropriate reviewer.
Frequently asked
How do I report a factual error?
Use the contact form with the URL of the entry, the claim you believe is incorrect, and a primary source for the correction. Where the source is verifiable, the desk will publish the correction.
How do I submit a tip?
Use the contact form. Tips are read by the editorial team; the desk does not guarantee publication but will respond where verification is possible.
Do you accept sponsored content?
No. The desk does not publish sponsored editorial content. Where a commercial partner supports the desk, the support is disclosed on the standards page.
