How EsportsNews.pro publishes and checks automated match data

EsportsNews.pro separates automated match records from editorial work. The match center can publish a team name, tournament, scheduled time, status and score when those fields are present in the cached esports feed. It does not turn that record into a reported news story.

What the match feed can establish

The data feed can establish the fields it publishes: participating teams, tournament identity, start time, best-of format, status and available score. EsportsNews.pro converts the published start time to Philippine Time and links the record to its game and tournament archive.

When a required identity is missing, the production build omits the record instead of inventing a team or tournament. When the production feed is unavailable, the public site does not generate indexable routes from development mock data.

How stale live labels are limited

A provider status that includes a live or in-progress signal remains live only when the scheduled start is inside a limited window. The current guard is twelve hours after the scheduled start and two hours before it. A scheduled event becomes a source-update state when it is already more than six hours in the past.

These limits do not declare a winner or correct the provider’s score. They prevent an old status string from remaining visually promoted as a current live match.

What requires editorial review

Quotes, roster claims, strategic conclusions, locations, prize pools and tournament reporting require separate sourcing and review. They are not inferred from a scoreboard. A completed record can say that the feed published a final score, while a news article must identify its evidence and responsible editor.

Readers can review the full Data Sources page, the Editorial Policy and the site’s correction process before relying on a record.
