About Us: an independent guide to gaming and esports
Our mission, editorial scope, independent status, and how readers can evaluate our work.
Quick answer: what is ArenaLore Guide?
ArenaLore Guide is an independent English-language editorial site that explains video game genres, foundational strategies, and competitive gaming. The primary subject is Riot Games titles, but the publication is not owned, operated, sponsored, or endorsed by Riot Games.
Our purpose
We help curious players and new spectators understand what a game is asking them to do, how common systems work, and what information is worth verifying before they rely on it. Articles prioritize readable explanations and useful learning steps rather than copied patch notes or promotional claims.
What this publication covers
Our initial library includes beginner guides to League of Legends, VALORANT, Teamfight Tactics, Wild Rift, Legends of Runeterra, and 2XKO; esports viewing and tournament-format primers; and independent explanations of shared strategy concepts.
Who publishes ArenaLore Guide
Owner and publicly accountable operator: MATHEW SANTIAGO ANDREWS. Editorial contact: info@arenaloreguide.com. The publication is operated by MATHEW SANTIAGO ANDREWS; the name is provided as the legal operator rather than as a separate corporation. ArenaLore Editorial is an editorial byline for this publication, not a claim that the operator personally performed gameplay testing.
Our independence and intellectual property
ArenaLore Guide has its own editorial identity and original concept illustrations. References to publisher and game titles identify subjects of commentary, not a business relationship. We do not use Riot-owned logos, character portraits, screenshots, or official creative assets in this edition.
What we do not provide
This is not a publisher support portal, an event organizer, or an online store. There are no download buttons, installers, user accounts, game logins, merchandise listings, tickets, checkout, or paid subscriptions on this website.
How we research and review
We distinguish stable concepts from changeable rules, consult official resources for descriptive facts, show article review dates, and make meaningful corrections when supported by evidence. The Testing Methodology explains our desk-research scope without claiming unperformed gameplay tests.
Transparency and potential funding
This release has no sponsored placement, affiliate links, advertising networks, or analytics scripts. If funding or data processing practices change, we will disclose the relationship and update the relevant policies before implementing those changes.
Contact and corrections
