Streamer continues to play Guilty Gear: Strive during earthquake in Twitch Rivals event

Competition can be tough in the FGC, but one thing that could stump any competitor would be a natural disaster. For one streamer, however, this wasn’t enough to stop them from competing in a recent Guilty Gear: Strive tournament. During a Sept. 17 stream, streamer Reynald Tacsuan was taking part in Twitch Rivals’ Guilty Gear: Strive tournament when an earthquake struck his area. While it would have been excusable to abandon the match, but Reynald instead took his Fightstick off the desk to be more stable on his knee and

ELEX 2’s Story Trailer Teases Impending Disaster

Over the last several years, we’ve seen a revival of sorts, at least within the mainstream, of a certain type of RPG. Thanks to games like The Witcher 3 and other smaller scale hits like GreedFall, the more western styled RPG has gotten a new wind. One of those games was 2016’s ELEX, a hybrid fantasy and sci-fi game. The sequel was announced not too long ago, and now we get an idea of what this new story will be about. A new trailer, which you can see below, was

Vitality through to quarters, Complexity out of Pro League

Vitality secured their spot in the quarter-finals at ESL Pro League Season 14 after taking down Complexity 2-1. Dan "⁠apEX⁠" Madesclaire's squad dominated their opponent's map pick of Vertigo but a strong showing by Complexity on Overpass meant the series was decided on Mirage. "Today was a disaster, mainly our T side on Overpass," commented Vitality's captain in regards to an uncharacteristic poor performance on one of their most successful maps. "The most important was the win today, we didn't show up as we expected, but it's life, we just

Get ready, League of Legends fans. We’re finally entering World Championship season.

TSM and Gen.G VALORANT meet again in NA VCT Stage 3 Challengers 2 opener

After two significant roster moves, a coaching change, and even a brief but fruitless six-man roster endeavor, TSM have qualified for just their third Challengers event during the entire VCT. In the first round of the upper bracket of Challengers Two, the final Challengers event of the year before the playoffs, they’ll face off against a familiar foe in Gen.G. When the VCT was first announced, TSM were widely considered one of the best VALORANT teams in North American, right alongside the likes of Sentinels and 100 Thieves. But while

Team Aster donates i-League 2021 winnings to support Henan flood disaster relief

Team Aster has been one of the top Dota 2 teams in China all year, winning one of the regional league seasons for the 2021 Dota Pro Circuit and qualifying for The International 10 thanks to their strong performances.  Aster and the other top Chinese teams spent the last several months competing on and off in the i-League 2021, an event with more than $185,000 on the line. And though they entered the playoffs as a middle-of-the-pack team, Aster dominated the remainder of the event, going 2-1 against PSG.LGD and

T1 reverse sweep DWG KIA with strong carry performance from Keria in 2021 LCK Summer Split

T1 reverse swept DWG KIA in the sixth week of the 2021 LCK Summer Split, with Keria leading the charge for his team. It was unclear who would take the win in this League of Legends series after both teams showed a strong performance in their last match. T1 recently started experimenting more with their roster, benching Teddy and Cuzz in favor of Gumayusi and Oner. Although parts of the community initially saw the tests in a bad light after the poor results from the Spring Split experiment, they quickly

Twistzz says FaZe handles pressure a lot better than other CS:GO teams

FaZe Clan have surprised just about everybody in the CS:GO community with their campaign at IEM Cologne 2021 so far. The international team was playing so poorly in online tournaments that no one really expected them to perform well at the first premier CS:GO LAN since IEM Katowice in March 2020. All of the sudden, though, everything clicked for Finn “karrigan” Andersen’s troops and they’ve made it into the playoffs, taking down great squads such as Team Spirit, Vitality, and Heroic in the main event and breezing past Evil Geniuses

FaZe discuss LAN play, Gambit game: “I think we handle the pressure a lot better than other teams”

Despite their massive name value, FaZe were outsiders coming into IEM Cologne, not even certain to make it through the Play-In. Things looked grim for the international team, who were ranked 36th in the world and had a meagre 25% match win rate since the addition of Finn "⁠karrigan⁠" Andersen to the lineup. But on LAN, FaZe have managed to turn things around. Beating Evil Geniuses and Complexity in the Play-In gave the team much-needed confidence, which they brought over to main event to make a surprise playoff run following

Rogue Warriors open up fifth week of 2021 LPL Summer Split with major upset against Invictus Gaming

What should have been an easy victory for Invictus Gaming turned out to be a disaster against underdogs Rogue Warriors. The team sitting at the bottom of the standings managed to take down IG, who looked unstoppable after taking down FPX last week. All odds were against RW, and while they did give up the first game, they managed to maintain their morale and picked up two consecutive wins to reverse sweep their opponents. The MVP votes for RW were picked up by AD carry Betty and top laner Zhu
