EDG take sole position of first place in Group A after win over T1

In a continuation of the T1 vs. Edward Gaming and the LCK vs. LPL rivalries, EDG took down T1 today at Worlds in a one-sided bout off the backs of both of their solo laners’ performances and understanding of T1’s winning conditions. Flandre posted a 5/0/7 scoreline on the Graves while Scout posted a 5/0/8 scoreline on the Sylas.  Today’s match started with EDG getting first in the first Rift Herald fight of the game, and a punishing of Oner in his own jungle. This gave the Chinese representatives an

New World has proved to be a popular success with many players, finding a huge base within the Twitch community. But while the game might still be fairly fresh, New World has already experienced its fair share of problems. One issue that has been making the rounds lately is the abuse of the 'report player' function.A large feature of New World are the wars to claim

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

Rising from the ashes: FPX aim to hoist first trophy since 2019 Worlds title

It’s 3am and Korean-born FPX mid laner Doinb is streaming a League of Legends solo queue game on Douyu. He’s the only one left in the gaming house. Between scrims, solo queue, and an LPL Summer Split series the day after, he’ll have a busy schedule. But it doesn’t matter. As the 2019 world champion often says, he’ll have all the time to sleep when he’s retired.  On top of being a great competitor, Doinb remains close to his fans by streaming almost every day of the week during the

Apex Chronicles aren’t perfect, but they’re worth revisiting

Finding a new way to tell a story doesn’t make it a good way to tell a story. At the same time, that doesn’t mean there isn’t anything good to take away from the exercise. The story of Apex Legends is much like the game itself: twisting and turning, never wanting to be pinned down, and evolving into something similar, but at the same time new. Just as new legends, guns, maps, and game modes fundamentally change the way people play the game every season, Respawn continually switches up the

BenchWarmers win ALGS Preseason Qualifier 3

Preseason Qualifier Three in North America went off with a bang last night. One of NA’s most high-profile free agent Apex Legends teams, BenchWarmers, took home the finals victory and an invite to the upcoming ALGS Pro League along with it. The four Preseason Qualifiers before the beginning of the Pro League have been filled with a grab bag of names thus far. There are players who have been around the Apex pro scene for a while but haven’t quite found success as of yet. There are players signed to orgs

The best PPSh-41 loadout in Call of Duty: Warzone

Verdansk’s time travel back to 1984 brought an even older gun with it. In Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and Warzone, the PPSh-41 is a throwback gun since it was originally in use by the USSR as early as 1941. Now, it’s here to terrorize the ’80s version of Verdansk. Players of World War II-era CoD games will remember the PPSh-41, a submachine gun of a bygone era. But that doesn’t mean it’s not a good weapon to use in Warzone because it’s indeed a solid option for
