Across the row's cited claims, skill-aware matchmaking, seasonal ranks, and competitive rewards support level 3. The bounded game-integration score prevents level 4, so no Unknown integrity finding is used as an upper-bound substitute. The source exposes no stable publication date; source_published_on is null.
