How often do you publish new articles?
New pieces go up several times a week, timed around regional match days and championship weekends. Player profiles and deeper features run on a slightly slower, more deliberate schedule.
Do you accept guest posts or pitches?
Yes. We're open to pitches from writers with a genuine connection to the regional scene, particularly those who follow specific rosters closely or have insight into local qualifiers.
Which games or titles does the desk cover?
Our focus stays on the titles with an active regional competitive circuit around Luxor and the broader area, rather than trying to track every game with a leaderboard.
Are your player profiles based on interviews?
Most profiles combine direct conversations with players and coaches alongside match footage review, so the writing reflects both their perspective and what actually happened on stage.
Do you cover amateur or grassroots events too?
Yes, several of our favorite stories come from smaller qualifiers and community-run brackets, where the next generation of regional talent often gets its first real test.
What Sets This Desk Apart
We follow the Luxor and area scene closely rather than skimming every region, which means fewer names slip past us unnoticed.
Profiles are built on real conversations with players and coaching staff, not just stat lines pulled from a bracket page.
Every championship recap comes from watching the games ourselves, draft by draft, instead of repeating official recaps.
We stick with rosters across full seasons, so readers get the arc of a team's run rather than one-off highlight coverage.
