Code S Season 2 it set to have a "Freecy" final four, as Afreeca Freecs players TY and Stats won the last two quarterfinal matches to join teamamte DongRaeGu in the semifinals. TY took on PartinG in his quarterfinal match, with the DPG Protoss looking to avenge his 2-4 loss to TY in the previous season's semifinals. However, TY's early-game tactics proved to be PartinG's undoing once more, with his Probes suffering greatly throughout the series. In the last quarterfinal match, a rejuvenated Stats took down Trap in a brutal

by MizenhauerStarCraft II was always destined for great things.Its predecessor, Brood War, was the product of a bygone era where game developers weren’t concerned with balancing the game for full-time professionals, the concept of esports was mostly limited to a convention center in Mesquite, Texas and most people didn’t even have high speed internet. None of that mattered six-thousand miles away from Blizzard headquarters in South Korea, where Brood War became an unprecedented cultural phenomenon. An economic downturn, the proliferation of net cafes and high speed internet, and plain dumb

Three groups into the RO16, and we're already guaranteed to have one of the wonkiest Code S playoffs brackets in years. Group C saw our second ex-military player take first place in their group, as Dream joined DongRaeGu in advancing to the playoffs with a #1 group seed.StarCraft II isn't alchemy, but every upset still requires an equivalent exchange—this time around, it was Maru who was sacrificed as Dream went through in first place. Surprisingly enough, Dream didn't even have to beat Maru directly to advance in first place—Solar and

TL.net ESPORTS Profile Joined July 2011 1 Post Held in the midst of a global pandemic, Dreamhack Masters Summer had to be an abnormal tournament. The entirety of the event was held online, games were played five days a week at an almost non-stop pace, and Korean players were invited to compete alongside international players in StarCraft II's "break region-lock in case of emergency" moment. Amid these unusual circumstances, StarCraft II fans would found the conclusion of the tournament, at least, to be quite familiar: Serral emerged triumphant over a

Each and every day new mobile games are hitting the App Store, and so each week we put together a big old list of all the best new releases of the past seven days.

Because of that developers got into the habit of releasing their games throughout Wednesday or very early Thursday in order to hopefully get one of those coveted features spots. Nowadays the App Store refreshes
