Vitality have earned a spot in the ESL Pro League Season 14 playoffs after besting Astralis in a two-map series, leaving Lukas "⁠gla1ve⁠" Rossander's troops in a dire situation as they are staring down Heroic in their final match, with a top-three placement looking increasingly unlikely as ENCE would win the head-to-head in a tiebreaker and have only Bad News Bears left to face. As a result of Vitality's victory, Casper "⁠cadiaN⁠" Møller's side have also secured the top seed out of Group A, holding the best overall record and

The Pokémon Company recently launched their free-to-play entry in the MOBA genre, Pokémon UNITE. With a cast of familiar characters for fans of the franchise and a new genre that many Pokémon fans haven’t experienced before, there’s a lot to like about UNITE–but it’s far from perfect. At the time of writing, there are 20 Pokémon to use and plenty of cosmetic upgrades to acquire. For UNITE to excel, it will need to keep players returning to the game consistently.

Amazon Games is staying well clear of the pay-to-win model with its upcoming open-world MMO. New World will include an in-game store at launch but won’t feature character boosts or anything that directly influences gameplay, the developers revealed in a press conference.  The “focus” of the store, according to creative director David Verfaillie, will be cosmetic items that players will be able to use to “enhance” the visuals of their characters.  The game will have an “enormous library” of different weapons and armors. All the activities players can do in-game,

VALORANT celebrated its first birthday recently. And although the game has been pretty successful on both competitive and casual levels, some players are still waiting for new features to be implemented in the game. Part of the community thinks there’s a lack of practice maps in VALORANT at the moment. Players aren’t asking for anything complicated or fancy, just a training camp with some boxes where they can practice their aim against bots as many times as they want.
