  • Comment: Sportskeeda and Dexerto are both unreliable sources (WP:VGRS). – Pbrks (t • c) 15:06, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
  • Comment: This is much better, but there are still some issues. There are many unsourced claims in the draft; everything needs to be supported by a reliable source. I've tagged where you should have a reference to support the preceding text. AFK Gaming is also an unreliable source (see WP:VGRS) and should be replaced. VALO2ASIA, Spin, and GameRiv don't look reliable, either, judging by their staff credentials. If you can't find a reliable source to support a statement, the statement should be removed. – Pbrks (t • c) 14:37, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
  • Comment: Liquipedia is not a reliable source. The draft is also too dependent on primary sources (Facebook, Twitter). – Pbrks (t • c) 22:35, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
