A quick and clean 3-1 win against Guild at the EMEA VCT Last Chance Qualifier has secured Team Liquid a spot at VALORANT’s end-of-year world championship in Berlin, Germany in December. Liquid, who previously missed out on the event out of a lack of circuit points, will join Gambit, who qualified after winning Masters Berlin in September, and Acend and Fnatic, who placed second and third in the circuit point standings. G2, despite earning 325 circuit points over the course of the year, have narrowly missed out on Champions. A

From making it in by one game through regional qualifiers to a 0-4 start in the group stage, then going into one of the greatest lower bracket runs of all-time, Team Spirit held off PSG.LGD to cap off their Cinderella story by lifting the Aegis of Champions at Dota 2‘s The International 10.  Led by Miposhka, the only player on the team who has ever competed at a TI before, Spirit are the first CIS team to win The International since Na’Vi did it a decade ago at TI1. They

There is only one series standing between Team Spirit and completing one of the most impressive runs in the history of Dota 2‘s The International after the CIS squad pulled off yet another upset and sent Team Secret home in the lower bracket finals at TI10.  The TI curse continues to loom over Puppey and his team, though it seems to have at least lessened. A third-place finish is Secret’s highest yet, improving on a fourth-place exit at TI9. However, even after showing how dominant they could be, largely controlling

Liquid are through to the final of their side of the BLAST Premier Fall Showdown bracket after prevailing over Virtus.pro, surviving a comeback attempt from the CIS side on Inferno (16-14) and recovering from a loss on Vertigo (9-16) by securing a win on Overpass. Stewie2K was a key component in Liquid's victory on the decider map, helping to counter Mareks "⁠YEKINDAR⁠" Gaļinskis' aggression with multi-kill rounds and entries of his own. "YEKINDAR reads the game very well," Stewie2K stated in an interview following the series win. "He knows his

PSG.LGD took down Team Secret 2-0 and secured their spot at the grand finals for Dota 2’s The International 10 today. When two juggernauts clash, the battlefield is supposed to turn into a spectacle. LGD, however, looked highly composed and played the fringes, which worked to their advantage in both games as they swept Team Secret in a 2-0 performance.  LGD played to their advantage and didn’t give the European team much in the way of openings to exploit, marking Secret’s first loss in the upper bracket of The International

It’s been a tough League of Legends 2021 World Championship for 100 Thieves, the LCS’ first seed. After losing to Korea’s T1 in the second match of day five, the team were knocked out in a relatively disappointing fashion. They did leave the tournament with their heads held high, however, after finishing their run with a victory over China’s EDward Gaming. Group B had been a one-sided affair for the Eastern teams in the bracket up to the last game of the day, with T1 winning every game they had

Vici Gaming will sit out of the rest of Dota 2‘s The International 10 after today’s 0-2 defeat to Invictus Gaming. VG came into TI10 as the third seed out of the Chinese region behind Major winners in Invictus Gaming and PSG.LGD. They put together a strong run, making it to the upper bracket out of groups and then bouncing back from a first-round loss to make a deep run in the lower bracket.  During that run, they beat Evil Geniuses and T1, but they just couldn’t overcome their regional

100 Thieves were the first North American team to be eliminated from the 2021 League of Legends World Championship after a disappointing loss to the LCK’s T1.  It was an impressive early game for the Thieves, one that kept them in contention with T1. Although T1 started with the first blood, 100T quickly reacted by initiating a play in the bot lane. This play consisted of a four-man dive, utilizing Abbedagge’s teleport accompanied by a gank from Closer. Even though they initiated the play, the situation looked grim for the

Team Spirit can’t be stopped in the lower bracket of The International 10. They’ve followed up a sweep of two-time TI champions OG earlier today with the organization’s first win over Eastern European rival Virtus Pro since Spirit signed the Yellow Submarines stack last December and just the second win over VP in the organization’s history.  While the Vici Gaming and T1 series slowly slid into the Chinese Dota 2 team’s favor over the course of the three games, the CIS showdown was competitive throughout—even if some of the matches

Heroic secured victory over Dignitas, 19-16 on Nuke and 16-13 on Overpass, to stay on course to make the BLAST Fall Finals. We will see them back in action on Sunday at 15:30 for the bracket final, where they will face either Complexity or OG for that all important LAN berth. It wasn't all plain sailing for the Danes as evidenced by the close score lines on both maps, however Nuke was really where Dignitas should have made their mark on the series. cadiaN and co. had to be resilient
