Thanks to defeats to Entropiq and Copenhagen Flames on day 1, Astralis are now in the 1-2 bracket and will have to win two BO3s back-to-back in order to join the likes of Natus Vincere and Liquid in the

Screengrab via DJ Esports In the first match between these teams, Fnatic took control early and dictated the pace.

PSG.LGD took down Team Secret 2-0 and secured their spot at the grand finals for Dota 2’s The International 10 today. When two juggernauts clash, the battlefield is supposed to turn into a spectacle. LGD, however, looked highly composed and played the fringes, which worked to their advantage in both games as they swept Team Secret in a 2-0 performance.  LGD played to their advantage and didn’t give the European team much in the way of openings to exploit, marking Secret’s first loss in the upper bracket of The International

PokémonImage courtesy of The Pokémon CompanyWe'll be comparing the Kanto and Alolan variations of the palm tree Pokémon, Exeggutor, in Pokémon: GO.Exeggutor is one of the more bizarre-looking Gen I Pokémon. As a bipedal palm tree, its three yellow heads are meant to resemble coconuts. This appearance is even stranger when you consider it evolves from Exeggcute, a group of egg-like Pokémon. The creature received a new Alolan form in Pokémon: Sun and Moon which definitely enhanced its already strange form. Bearing an even greater resemblance to a palm tree,

Fracture is VALORANT’s newest map and offers a unique experience. It features an H-shaped layout where the defenders spawn in the center, which is a stark difference from other maps in rotation. Attackers can also push both sites from two directions by default, requiring defenders to always prepare for a push from two directions.  The new layout might mean your favorite agent isn’t the best choice on Fracture or you need to adjust your playstyle. The good news is most agents can at least hold their own on Fracture, although

The threepeat is dead and a new champion will be crowned at The International 10 after Team Spirit sent the two-time champions packing with an utterly dominant 2-0 performance.  Led by Collapse with two games on Magnus, TORONTOTOKYO looking the best he ever has, and the entire roster playing like a group of seasoned veterans, Spirit made the games look easy and, by the end of the series, were clearly feeling themselves.  In game one, OG slowed down the tempo during the mid-game, but it never felt like they were
