Topson

It probably isn't correct to list Topson' slot as empty, as there is no indication that he has left the team, only that he is taking a break from DOTA for the moment. OG's roster has not been locked for 2019-2020 DPC, so perhaps when they lock, if Topson isn't locked in there might be a reason to list his slot as empty. For now, however, he's simply been confirmed to be taking a break from Dota for a little bit (like many pros this DPC season). — Preceding unsigned comment added by ApprehensiveAndroid (talk • contribs) 16:45, 19 September 2019 (UTC)

English variety discussion

I would like to consider revising/changing WP:ENGVAR for this article. Some considerations:

WP:ENGVAR considerations

American English	Euro English	British English
Appears to be existing variety, keeping is inline with MOS:RETAIN.	The team plays under the EU/CoE Europe flag officially, and that would likely qualify it for 'strong national ties' test, in line with MOS:TIES. All of the players, but one current and two former, are Europeans, and so is most of the staff. However, Euro English is not an established variety in enwiki, although that may not have to prevent us.	British English is the biggest variety in Europe, so if Euro English is not acceptable, MOS:TIES based fallback would be to go to the biggest variety that is established in Europe. However, none of the players (current or former) or key staff are British which weakens MOS:TIES. European sports teams, players and events which come from countries that don't have MOS:ENGVAR varieties seem to be mostly using British English. Examples: FC Barcelona, FC Bayern Munich, Juventus F.C., Luka Modrić, Michael Schumacher, World Rally Championship I did not find any counter-examples, please link, if any.

Based on the above balance of arguments, I propose we change the WP:ENGVAR to British English due to MOS:TIES and prior consensus and precedent when it comes to comparable topics. I also think that this article may help demonstrate the need for Euro English WP:ENGVAR. Melmann 23:19, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
