One of the world’s biggest video game companies is reeling after a state discrimination and sexual harassment suit kicked off a firestorm of controversy within the company. California’s Department of Fair Employment and Housing sued Activision Blizzard last week, alleging that the company fostered a “breeding ground for harassment and discrimination against women.” Following a combative response to the lawsuit from corporate leadership, a group of employees at Blizzard will stage a walkout, which is planned for Wednesday at 10 a.m. PDT. Most employees at Blizzard continue to work remotely,

Former Rise player Abdo “c4Lypso” Agha and former Cloud9 Blue player Josh “shinobi” Abastado have put together a new VALORANT team and will look for an organization to represent, according to a report by George Geddes from Upcomer. Aside from these two players, the team reportedly features former Complexity member Mike “sharky” Garity and Brenden “stellar” McGrath, who’s benched by Luminosity. The non-sponsored team is still looking for a fifth player and doesn’t have a coach to assist them. Since stellar is still under contract with Luminosity, the team would

It benched Stephen “reltuC” Cutler and signed Sean “bang” Bezerra, parted ways with temporary sixth-man Braxton “brax” Pierce, moved James “hazed” Cobb to the

There was a bit of a surprise reveal that happened earlier this year that you might have forgotten about. I only say that because we recently had an E3 event in which we got several video game announcements with the IP not being present during the event.

Version1 is set to use former Luminosity VALORANT player Brady “thief” Dever instead of Jordan “Zellsis” Montemurro in the VCT North America Stage Three qualifier, according to a report by George Geddes from Upcomer. Zellsis, who’s been an integral part of V1 since the organization entered the VALORANT competitive scene in February with the signing of the NeverDone roster, was suspended by Riot Games from VCT events in early June due to making a “categorically offensive and discriminatory remark about a tournament official” during VCT Masters Two Reykjavík, where V1
