#i can't be sure they're pronouncing the names correctly...but they've all somehow agreed on the pronunciation

every year i wonder how the commentators keep track of how to pronounce everybody's names. there's hundreds of them. do they all know IPA or some other phonetic notation system? do they memorize them, even though some of them they can't have heard many times before the tournament? and how do they find out the pronunciation in the first place? do they have boots on the ground asking the players to record themselves saying their own names and then upload it to a database? important questions.
