My initial read on this would be that it falls under WP:NOTADIRECTORY or WP:NOTGAMEHOST, but other sports-related articles have this type of directory type information, so I don't want to prejudice this sport from others.

However, the information is referenced only by Twitter — which has been used as a source when the statements come directly from the Twitter account of the individual mentioned — but these sources all come from the company's Twitter account and not the individuals mentioned.

The company can use its own sources like Twitter when it mentions only itself in a Tweet. When it mentions others, it needs to provide something more than itself as the reference. Regards,  Spintendo  07:38, 4 October 2019 (UTC)

@Joebroni19: Generally, we don't want a section to devolve to being a list like "On … NRG signed …. On … NRG signed …. etc." I've added the Apex section along with the signing of Dizzy. Additional content should be something along the lines of "NRG signed Ace and Mohr in March and May, respectively, to round out its three player squad." And then, something of significance these three players did together (e.g. notable tournaments). The sources should be from independent third-parties (see WP:IS).

Thanks everyone. Still learning the proper way to edit and source these. Thanks for your patience. Request to add this under Apex. "NRG signed Ace and Mohr in March and May, respectively, to round out its three-player squad. ::Dizzy competed in the first-ever Apex Legends Proam, securing 1st place, MVP, and a 23K charitable donation to the V Foundation.

@Joebroni19: Liquipedia is not an acceptable source for Wikipedia content (it's really just another Wiki). I will work on adding this info tomorrow, but if you could find a reliable source (Dot Esports, The Esports Observer, TheGamer, etc.) that would be very helpful.
