213:. It contains answers given by the subject and his immediate family regarding Guitar Hero during an interview. It states very clearly he started playing in March 2008. His alias can be obtained from his Facebook account username, as well as his Xbox Live Gamertag. Certain information, for example song choice (he chose the same song for every match in the WCG Asian Championship) and competition results, are FACTS. I believe those are undisputable. More personal information like education can be found on his Facebook profile.

2008. These numbers continue to grow every year. With the advent of the internet, video gaming is an area that is sure to flourish. With many countries starting to focus on building their media industry, competitive gaming is definitely one of the areas that they will be willing to invest into.

However, Rome wasn’t built in a day; and neither was the
Olympic Games. In 1896, the first ever Olympic Games was held in Athens, Greece. Then, only 14 nations, 241 male athletes participated in 43 events. Comparatively, 78 countries, about 800 gamers, participated in a total of 14 events in WCG

From what I gather in your post, the main issue with the article is that the notability of the subject (Teo), or rather, the notability of the means behind his notability (the WCG) is not substantial enough for the article to take up bandwidth of the
Knowledge (XXG) servers.
322:- While it may be further argued that the WCG is notable (seeing that it is an international competition anyway), the subject of the article has only participated in the Asian division of the WCG. Not enough for an encyclopedia entry.
