Changes coming to World of Warcraft Classic with the Season of Mastery

Blizzard is looking to reinvigorate World of Warcraft Classic players who want a “fresh” experience with Season of Mastery servers. And while the game will give players a fresh version of Classic to play, it won’t be quite the same as the product released in 2019.

How much money does Tfue make on Twitch?

Tfue has been one of the most popular content creators on Twitch over the past three or more years after bursting onto the scene with the Fortnite boom.

Putting together the puzzle: Team Liquid’s rocky return to the Worlds stage

The last string that held Team Liquid together broke. The multi-time LCS champion team committed millions of dollars this past November, signing two high-profile free agents and renewing its mid laner to one of the biggest extensions in the league—and now, it looked all for naught.  It had already been a rough June for Liquid. One of those stars, top laner Alphari, got benched amid behavioral issues early in the month, and the other, Santorin, played through debilitating migraines and needed time to recover. Yet there was one more unforeseen
