Our read of the evidence
Partly documented. All nine timeline events rest on reports from three outlets — insider-gaming.com, pro-gamer.gg, and theesportslibrary.com — with no primary source confirmation. The group stage standings, roster details, and Japanese team records are documented only through this reporting.
Our rating counts evidence, not opinions about anyone: events confirmed by a primary source (the person's own post, their official site, a court or government record) weigh most, then how many independent outlets report the story.
