Every competitive player on the desk is placed into one of four recurring roles. The labels are stable across games — the desk does not invent game-specific synonyms — so readers comparing across titles are not starting from zero each time.
Calls the macro plan. Watches the broadcast frame for the page-tilt and the read order.
Tempo and resource flow. Usually the coach's mic check before a timeout.
Round-winning slot. The high-variance pick the comp is built around.
Subbed in for one map against one opponent. Often the trick that flips a series.
The desk's current roster of named players — short dossiers backed by dated sources. Player pages expand as the desk verifies social handles, broadcast names and signed contracts.

When the desk writes a player dossier from broadcast footage, the desk names the round or stage read, links the partner VOD, and notes the timestamp the read was captured at. This means the reader can re-listen, re-watch or skip back without trusting the desk's read.

Editorial standards · the clipboard beside the desk the desk reads as the precursor to any roster entry.
Player reads on the desk do not begin from social media. They begin from footage. Where a player has signed a post-match interview, the desk quotes the line at length and gives the timestamp.
The desk does not link fan-handle Twitter threads or third-party tracker numbers in a player dossier. Those belong on a different page with their own source ladder.
The desk answers the questions readers ask most before they trust a player page.
Social following does not affect the round. The desk writes the role first because that is what determines the team's composition on event day.
They are not used in a dossier until the player has confirmed the handle in writing or by direct on-camera reference. Until then the dossier says "social handle pending verification".
The desk records the date the player's social account links the new team's branding, and the date the previous team's roster filing removes the player. Where they conflict, the desk sides with the latest L1 filing.
