Five game desks · one editorial standard

The games route collects the desk's chapter pages — FPS, MOBA, battle royale, fighting and racing. Each desk carries its own calendar, its own patch tracker and its own broadcast notes; the editorial standard is the same on all five.

Each link opens the chapter page with that game's calendar at the top and a chapter-specific patch tracker below.

What every desk shows

All five chapters share the same components: a calendar header, a patch-2.13-style tracker, a tactical notebook link, a streaming matrix and a reader question queue. The shape is identical so a reader moving between chapters does not have to re-learn the page.

How the desk chooses a chapter to publish

The desk does not chase every announcement. A chapter is published when there is at least one Tier-one source and one Tier-two source for the next four announced events, and when the broadcast partner is named for the chapter's primary series.

Independence
No chapter is published in exchange for sponsorship or broadcast partner promotion. Editorial decisions are made by the editor of record.
Source ladder
Each chapter runs the same ladder as the home page. The chapter page lists the sources used in that chapter only.
Correction
A chapter that runs a correction keeps the original wording visible in the note. We do not silently re-write a chapter.

Reader questions · games desk

Where the answer belongs to a single chapter, the desk links to it; the questions below apply across all five chapters.

Will the desk add more chapters?

Only when the source ladder reaches L1 for the chapter's primary series and we have a Tier-two partner for at least two broadcast weeks. Currently the five chapters above cover the announced calendar.

Why does the desk standardise the page shape?

Reading across chapters is easier when the layout is the same. The shape is identical so the reader does not have to relearn each page.

Where does the desk get patch notes from?

The developer's own notes. Where the patch note is summarised by a third-party, the desk quotes the developer and links the original.
