Editorial standard
How the desk works
The editorial desk is a small team of writers and editors who cover the competitive circuit as a spectator sport. Every story on the desk follows the same editorial standard. The lead carries the verified event within the first two paragraphs. The body adds context the lead cannot fit. The closing points at the next event to watch, not at a recap of what just happened. The verification note attached to every entry lists the source page the data was drawn from. We do not fabricate placement, roster composition, dates, scores, brackets or player data. Where a figure is pending publication by the league, the entry says so explicitly and does not invent one.
The editorial desk reads every message. Corrections and clarifications get the fastest response. Story leads on the competitive circuit are welcome; source submissions should include a verifiable link to the league page, the org's official announcement or the verified broadcast partner's channel. The desk does not run anonymous sources. The desk does not run rumors. The desk does not paraphrase quotes. For corrections, the desk asks for the URL of the story and the verified source for the correction. The desk publishes a verification note on every story that cites a third-party source.
The site links only to the first-party /Login/playnow route for the reader's convenience. The editorial desk does not surface fake bonus codes, fake KYC steps or invented payment terms. The affiliate anchor uses rel sponsored nofollow noopener noreferrer. The site never exposes the external destination in public HTML, JavaScript, schema or copy. The reader's privacy is preserved by the first-party route; the editorial desk does not need the destination URL to publish a story.
The site is built as a single coherent product system. The factory selection, the visual structure contract and the design taste decision are documented in the control-room directory. The published image manifest, the generated image manifest and the image plan are also in the control-room directory. The editorial desk does not read the control-room directory; the directory is for the build system.
