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 If we cannot show the ladder, we do not publish a certainty chip.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.
- 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.
