Evidence hierarchy

How killshot ranks competitive claims

Every schedule note, roster rumor and patch take sits on a source ladder. If we cannot show the ladder, we do not publish a certainty chip.

Tier 1

Primary competitive sources

Official tournament operators, publisher patch notes, team contract announcements and verified broadcast talent on the assigned desk.

Tier 2

Corroborated reporting

Two independent desks with on-record sourcing, or one specialty reporter plus a matching org confirmation window.

Tier 3

Scenario only

Anonymous tips, social clips without context, and format speculation stay labeled as scenarios - never as locked brackets or final rosters.

18+ boundary

Responsible competition coverage

killshot is an editorial desk. Competitive viewing can still pair with real-money products elsewhere. Keep time and spend caps explicit, never chase losses, and leave under-18 users off the rails entirely.

Open responsible play hub

  • Use session timers before long tournament weekends.
  • Separate entertainment budget from rent and essentials.
  • Treat rumors and locks as low-confidence until confirmed.
  • Prefer official streams and verified org channels for facts.
  • If play stops feeling optional, pause and seek local help resources.
