Opinion
Fictional bylines. Each take uses a line above and adds no facts.
The headline skips this: "Monte 's new lineup has already been spotted in the Stake Ranked open qualifier , where they were knocked out by Aurora Young Blud ." That is the reading I would argue. The rest of the card does not cancel it.
