Patch cadence
How patches shape the season
Each title runs on its own patch cadence. The desk tracks every patch note, ranks every meta shift, and publishes a primer within 48 hours of each drop.
Reading a patch note
A patch note is a contract between the studio and the meta. Every line means something: a number change of 0.05 is a small shift, a number change of 0.20 is a re-design, a new mechanic is a new season.
The 48-hour window
Patches drop mid-week. The desk's editorial cycle: primer within 48 hours, tier list refresh within a week, deep-read by the end of the second week. Pro teams adjust faster than that — and slower than the broadcast would have you believe.
What to expect next
The next patch is estimated at six weeks out. The studio usually drops a one-line heads-up a week before. The desk flags every confirmed date in the tournaments ticker.
FAQ
Game-index questions
How does Zino pick which games to cover?
We cover any competitive title with a confirmed operator, public bracket, and broadcast partner. Smaller titles get a note in the ticker rather than a dedicated game page.
Where do patch notes come from?
From the studio's official channels. The desk links the source for every patch we cover.
Can I suggest a game for the index?
Send the studio name, the operator name, and a sample bracket to the editorial desk via customer-care. We review suggestions monthly.
Do you accept sponsorship from game studios?
No. Patch coverage, tier lists, and editorial reads are not for sale.

Zino is an editorial desk.
We cover brackets and team form because the season is worth following — not because there's a bet to place. If you choose to use the PLAY NOW route, set a budget, set a timer, and stop when either runs out.
