Patch notes in scope

Two patches in scope this week. Both are summarized below with the strategic question they raise.

Late
Latest developer patch — economy or tempo shift that needs reading aloud. The desk writes the strategic question first and the patch numbers second.
Earlier
Penultimate developer patch in scope — used as a control point when last week's read no longer holds.

Lane-based strategy · tactical sketch.

Sketch captions are written by the editor who watched the broadcast it was reconstructed from. Each sketch is dated and links to the partner VOD with the timestamp.

A tactical sketch on this desk never relies on private scrim information. If the read cannot be reconstructed from broadcast tape, the desk does not publish it.

Reader questions · MOBA

Chapter-specific reader questions. The desk answers every question against the source ladder.

How does the desk pick which patch is in scope?

Two patches: the most recent developer notes are in scope as the primary; the previous patch sits as a control when the read needs cross-checking.

What if the partner changes broadcast platform mid-week?

The desk writes a short factual update and dates it. The original platform stays visible in the matrix history so readers can find the VOD they saved earlier.

Why does the desk not link third-party trackers?

Third-party trackers often aggregate numbers that are not on the organiser's record. The desk only uses them after matching the number to an L1 source.
