Well, I’m sure we all remember the rapidly escalating drama between Apple and Epic Games from last week. In short, Epic implemented an alternate payment method into Fortnite on iOS allowing users to purchase the in-game currency V-Bucks directly through Epic at a 20% discount. This was in response to a long-held belief from Epic Games and specifically CEO Tim Sweeney that digital storefronts like the App Store take far too large of a cut of the profits (30%) and that their strict guidelines create a monopolistic position.

Rogue improved his perfect record in grand finals to seven-for-seven, crushing Stats in the Code S Season 2 finals by a 4-1 scoreline. Rogue's aggressive and creative side had shined in his recent matches, but playing a predictable and orthodox opponent like Stats gave him a golden opportunity to remind everyone about his skills in more standard games. Stats didn't have any strategies planned to take Rogue out of his comfort zone, which let Rogue beat him convincingly in several macro games to begin the series. Of course, it wouldn't

We've seen first time-finalists, zero-time GSL winners, and online-bonjwas attempt to seize a career-affirming championship.This season, the Code S finals will offer StarCraft II fans a more traditional heavyweight bout. Entering the finals stage are two titans of StarCraft II, both entering with their hard-won Code S championships draped figuratively around their waists. These two players are already deeply ingrained in the history of competitive StarCraft II—this match is about
