In late 2020, Speedrun.com announced it had rejected a fifth-place run from popular Minecraft speedrunner and content creator Dream.

by Jason Parker in Fighting Game News | Apr, 9th 2021 WePlay recently entered into a partnership with the Russian betting company 1xBet, and it sounds like people are very upset about this move.

In keeping with the franchise’s penchant for alliteration, it promises some Foot flingin’ fun, and we cannot wait to get our hands dirty and just a little bit green.
