A role gallery, not a leaderboard

Players are organised by what they do inside a match, not by stat lines. The gallery is the editorial unit. The role card names the specialty, the source date and the region; it does not list invented streaks or fabricated placement.

The role taxonomy is the editorial ask. Eight role archetypes cover the five tracks. Each role card lists the function, the source date and the region. The taxonomy is not a leaderboard; it is a working index.

FPS roles

Duelist, anchor, support, flex. The four roles cover the round-based archetype. The desk reads the role as the editorial ask, not the stat line.

MOBA roles

IGL, carry, support, flex. The four roles cover the lane-and-jungle archetype. The desk reads the role as the editorial ask, not the gold curve.

BR and racing roles

End-game support, edge player, IGL. The racing track uses a single driver role with stint and pace variants. The desk reads the role as the editorial ask, not the position.

A profile is what the desk can verify, dated. The profile card lists the role, the source date and the region. The desk does not write a profile without a source.

What the desk verifies

The desk verifies the role, the track, the region and the last verified appearance. The desk does not verify invented streaks, fabricated placement or made-up quotes.

What the desk does not verify

The desk does not verify social-media follower counts, fan-vote rankings, or community tier lists. The source is the operator channel, the broadcast partner, or the team channel.

In-game names are written exactly as the operator channel publishes them. The desk does not normalise the name, capitalise the name, or convert the name. The name is the source; the editorial ask is the role.

The role gallery is sourced from the operator channel first, the licensed broadcast partner second, and the team channel third. The tier-one source is the only source for a confirmed role.

The role gallery is one of three interconnected desks. The team corridor reads the same roster and adds the organisation story. The match preview desk reads the fixture and adds the reasoning layer.

The desk writes a role card in three passes. The first pass is the operator channel; the second pass is the licensed broadcast partner; the third pass is the team channel. The three passes are the editorial cadence.

First pass

The first pass reads the operator channel. The operator channel publishes the role, the track, the region. The reader is invited to read the operator channel first.

Second pass

The second pass reads the licensed broadcast partner. The broadcast partner publishes the schedule, the regional mirror, the caption feed. The reader is invited to read the broadcast partner second.

Third pass

The third pass reads the team channel. The team channel publishes the roster, the role assignment, the brief statement. The reader is invited to read the team channel third.

Eight role archetypes cover the five tracks. The desk reads the archetypes as the editorial ask; the role card is the source. The taxonomy is a working index, not a permanent list.

FPS archetypes

Duelist, anchor, support, flex. The four archetypes cover the round-based archetype. The desk reads the archetype as the editorial ask; the role card is the source.

MOBA archetypes

IGL, carry, support, flex. The four archetypes cover the lane-and-jungle archetype. The desk reads the archetype as the editorial ask; the role card is the source.

BR and racing archetypes

End-game support, edge player, IGL, driver. The racing track uses a single driver role with stint and pace variants. The desk reads the archetype as the editorial ask; the role card is the source.

The role card is rebuilt for every role. Each card carries the role, the track, the region, the last verified appearance. The mechanics are simple and public: the reader is invited to verify the source and judge the role.

Source tier

Tier-one source is the operator channel. Tier-two source is the licensed broadcast partner. Tier-three source is the team channel. Anything below tier three is labelled as awaiting verification.

In-game name

The in-game name is written exactly as the operator channel publishes it. The desk does not normalise the name, capitalise the name, or convert the name. The name is the source; the editorial ask is the role.

Region

The region column lists the operator channel. The region is read as the editorial ask; the operator channel is the source. Where the region is multi-region, the row lists the regional mirrors.

Last verified

The last verified date is the rule book version. Where the date is older than two seasons, the role card is left open. The editorial ask is the policy, not the result.

The role gallery runs on three role rules. Rule one: the role card is the editorial unit. Rule two: the role is sourced from the operator channel first. Rule three: the in-game name is written exactly as the operator channel publishes it.

Rule one

The role card is the editorial unit. The reader is invited to read the role card, then read the role. The role card is the source; the role is the editorial ask.

Rule two

The role is sourced from the operator channel first. The reader is invited to read the operator channel, then read the role. The operator channel is the source; the role is the editorial ask.

Rule three

The in-game name is written exactly as the operator channel publishes it. The reader is invited to read the in-game name, then read the role. The in-game name is the source; the role is the editorial ask.

Region

The region column lists the operator channel. The reader is invited to read the region, then read the role. The region is the source; the role is the editorial ask.

The role gallery reads the role across seasons. The first read is the season register; the second read is the post-match film room; the third read is the patch workshop. Three reads across the season are the editorial cadence.

Season register

The season register holds the source date, the operator channel, the format rule book. The reader is invited to read the season register, then read the role. The register is the source; the role is the editorial ask.

Film room

The post-match film room holds the date, the round, the reading. The reader is invited to read the film room, then read the role. The film room is the source; the role is the editorial ask.

Patch workshop

The patch workshop holds the change, the editorial reading. The reader is invited to read the patch workshop, then read the role. The patch workshop is the source; the role is the editorial ask.

Cross-season reads

Cross-season reads are the editorial ask. The reader is invited to read the cross-season read, then read the role. The cross-season read is the source; the role is the editorial ask.
