Invictus Gaming lead the way heading into the final day of The International 10’s group stage

One day remains before the stage is set for The International 10’s main event, and the top Dota 2 teams in the world are still fighting for playoff seeding—or in some cases, their tournament lives.  While Invictus Gaming locked in the top seed for Group A with a dominant 13-1 record in just three days, Thunder Predator also became the first team eliminated from TI10 after going winless against the field of opponents.  The highlight of the day was one of the first matches, which saw rivals OG and Evil

New World has it all—but what does it do well?

Compiling my thoughts about New World, Amazon’s newest game that’s so big I can’t even see the finish line, is a tall order. Now that I’m more than 40 hours into the game, there’s plenty to discuss. There’s nothing groundbreaking about the story and later I’ll argue the story isn’t the main focal point of the game. You’re part of a crew sailing to find a mystical place called Aeternum. The land is said to be full of treasures, but during a storm, you’re cast onto the shores and end

PSG.LGD is the only undefeated team after first day of The International 10

The International 10 kicked off earlier today, marking the start of the biggest event in Dota 2 history. Following issues with the event ticket and other technical problems that saw matches start a full hour later than scheduled, TI10’s opening day saw 18 teams playing 20 different series across both groups. By the end of the day, only one team remained undefeated and there were several upsets that could impact the final bracket.  PSG.LGD were one of the favorites going into TI this year, and they showed why with four

FaZe score crucial win over fnatic in Group D; NIP, DBL PONEY win openers

The first day of IEM Fall Europe has come to an end with the conclusion of the opening matches in Group D, where NIP, DBL PONEY, and FaZe all secured wins to net themselves three points in the round-robin standings. The early victory over fnatic is especially important for FaZe, who need to place in the top seven to guarantee themselves a place at the Major, and leaves Alex "⁠ALEX⁠" McMeekin's side in a dire situation as they would need to place in the top six to guarantee their own

How to claim a settlement in New World

When you first load into a New World server, you’ll realize that each of them will differ from each other when it comes to controlling the map. The Territory and Settlement system allows players to claim land and assert their dominance on the map. When a company, the clan equivalent of New World, claims a settlement, players will receive buffs or other minor bonuses which can help them while they’re out in the world. Settlements are pre-built landmarks, and they’ll be the first target of most companies. Once a settlement

The Crew Series Might Return as New Game’s Existence Allegedly Leaks

A dataminer may have just discovered a new Crew game in development at Ubisoft. This would be the first since The Crew 2 was launched in 2018. The Crew was a racing game made by Ubisoft — not a particularly well-beloved one if memory serves, but it was liked enough to get a sequel. Now apparently Ubisoft has another entry in the works. I can’t say I’m surprised exactly, but perhaps curious to see if they can make one that sticks in the memory a bit more than the previous
