Editorial policy

Who writes our articles

ESPODIUM articles are written and edited by Lau Kah Hou, co-founder of ESPODIUM (operated by VIBE WORKS PLT, Malaysia). He has run and hosted community esports tournaments since 2021, first as MCGG.MY and now on ESPODIUM. Every article carries a byline and the date it was published, plus the date of any later update.

How we use AI

We use AI tools to help draft and structure some articles, the way a writer might use an outline or a first draft. No article is published automatically. Every piece is reviewed, edited and published by our editor, who is responsible for it.

We do not use AI-generated images. Article covers are drawn by our own code from the article's facts, and screenshots come from the platform itself.

How we check facts

Results, standings, team names and dates are checked against ESPODIUM's own tournament records, which organizers enter and players can see. Guides describe features as they work on the platform on the day of publication; when a feature changes, we update the article and its date.

Corrections

If you spot a mistake, email support@espodium.com with the article's link. We fix confirmed errors promptly and show an updated date on the article.

Independence and sponsorship

ESPODIUM runs a top-up store and works with tournament organizers and partners. Articles are not paid placements. If an article is ever sponsored, or covers a partner we have a commercial relationship with, it will say so at the top.
