Boston Uprising parts ways with GaeBullSsi heading into 2022

Many underperforming teams are dropping players left and right during the Overwatch League offseason, but the hits just keep coming for the Boston Uprising.  After releasing four players earlier this month, the team announced on Oct. 15 that it would be parting ways with off-tank Yun “GaeBullSsi” Young-sun before the 2022 season begins.   GaeBullSsi, a former member of Boston’s Overwatch Contenders team Uprising Academy, was signed right before the 2021 Overwatch League season began in April.  A noted off-tank talent from the Contenders scene, he stepped up to play the

Squid Game’s ‘Red Light, Green Light’ remade in Epic Games’ Unreal Engine

Squid Game has been all the rage as the masses have flocked to Netflix to binge the Korean series. And its popularity has given programmers inspiration to adapt the concept into the video game format. We’ve seen many iterations of the Squid Game games crafted in already existing games such as Roblox, Overwatch, and many more, but one programmer has recreated the show’s first game, “Red Light, Green Light,” using Epic Games Unreal Engine.

T1 take down 100 Thieves, ensure North America goes winless on day 3 of Worlds 2021 group stage

Today was a tough day for Western League of Legends fans. After 100 Thieves’ disappointing performance against T1, North American teams officially went winless on the third day of the 2021 World Championship group stage. Things were looking promising for 100 Thieves after their win against DetonatioN FocusMe yesterday. They represented the last glimmer of hope for LCS fans watching the tournament today, who had just witnessed the dismantling of both Cloud9 and Team Liquid at the hands of DWG KIA and Gen.G, respectively, and were searching for something to

Korea pumps the brakes, RNG re-establish dominance, Cloud9 come within inches on second day of Worlds 2021 group stage

Everyone was able to take a deep breath after the first day of the 2021 League of Legends World Championship group stage, but the second day of the tournament’s main event refused to take its foot off the gas. At multiple points throughout the day, the supposed “game of the tournament” was played, only for another game later in the schedule to usurp the previous one of its title.  Now, after 16 full games have been played during the group stage, some groups are already appearing to be complete washes

ShowMaker on returning to Worlds: ‘The experience of being a champion really means a lot in terms of how confident you are’

Experience and progress are directly related variables in theory. But when a player has already eclipsed every competitor in their field with just a few years of proven experience, “progress” quickly turns into “greatness.” Coming off of a League of Legends World Championship title in 2020, DWG KIA mid laner ShowMaker is the bannerman for an ever-growing wave of the game’s next-gen superstars. With an MVP award, several All-Pro accolades, four domestic championships, and the Summoner’s Cup all in his trophy case, the question for ShowMaker is simple: how much

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

K-pop artist and songwriter SUNMI released the song “Go or Stop?” in partnership with DWG KIA a few hours before the defending world champions’ return to the international stage earlier today.  [embedded content] The lyrics highlight how DWG KIA are legends and encourage them to “push it even harder,” and the video features SUNMI singing while she’s surrounded by League references. The singer’s hair in the video is reminiscent of two K/DA members, Evelynn and

DAMWON KIA kicks off 2021 World Championship group stage by crushing FPX

Defending champions DAMWON KIA kicked off the 2021 World Championship group stage with a statement win against FunPlus Phoenix, the LPL frontrunner in their group. The South Korean team ended the game in under 30 minutes to match the high expectations that weigh on their shoulders. DWG KIA seemed to have a very specific game plan against FPX coming into this match, giving Yuumi to support BeryL paired with mid laner ShowMaker’s LeBlanc to roam around the map and seek kills. Although Yuumi’s priority has progressively risen after the latest
