Let’s check some of the highlights of the CIS region. The CIS Dota 2 region is usually fun to watch, but after Singapore Major, we can all agree that the teams here need to step up their game. Virtus.pro and Gambit (the two representatives at the Major) weren’t able to put much of a fight.

Half-Life: Alyx is set between the first Half-Life and Half-Life 2. In the grand scheme of the Half-Life universe, spanning two major games, two episodes, and the Portal series, a lot has happened before Half-Life: Alyx's adventure takes place and a lot happens after. You'd expect the latest installation of a game that hasn't seen a new entry in 12 years to have a lot of fanservice, but in keeping with typical Valve fashion, the writing is tight, original, and faithful to what came before.That means there aren't exactly a
