@Soulbust and BeanieFan11: There's a chunk of unsourced content in the Team Falcons section which needs to be cited before this can be promoted. Also, what makes refs 1, 3, 4, 5, 11, 12, 26, and 28 (the tweets and YouTube) reliable?--Launchballer 13:56, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

@Launchballer: Didn't see an unsourced chunk, but just a sentence that mentions Zer0 will maintain his IGL role for the new team. In any case, I added the proper source for that now. Addressing the sources you brought up:

Ref 1 (tweet from DarkZero and sources just his birth day & month);

Ref 3 (Video from his former org Reignite, sourcing himself stating his name),

Ref 4 (another esports org (FFL/Fennel) interviewing Zer0, this just sources himself saying he is from Brisbane),

Ref 5 (this is just EXO Clan announcing their roster addition of Zer0),

Ref 11 (this is an official ALGS esports account to source Zer0 winning MVP of a tournament),

Ref 12 (this is Reignite announcing the departure of Zer0, added to source the exact 4 July 2022 date mentioned in article)

Ref 26 (this is sourcing an interview where Zer0 himself states he himself had a reputation of choking match points)

Ref 28 (this is an additional source to reference Zer0 being discussed as one of the best IGLs in the world, with source being from a post-tournament interview of Zer0 and posted onto the aforementioned official ALGS esports account from Ref. 11)

I fail to see the issue with any of these sources and how they would not be reliable? None of the information Zer0 states about himself (Refs. 3, 4, 26) is in violation of WP:SELFSOURCE. Ref 1 is also not in violation of that. The other sources are just citing official roster announcements (Ref 5, 12), or are from an official account of the sport's organizing body (Refs 11 and 28). I don't see how the use of these sources, particularly for what they are citing are in violation of WP:PRIMARY, for example. Soulbust (talk) 16:27, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

Fine by me. I won't promote while there are five hooks in the bottom set, but this is ready.--Launchballer 16:39, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
