The BOT Major finals showed us what great casting is all about

It seems Richard Lewis’ crazy concoction that was the BOT Major might actually end up getting Sadokist back in the casting fold, and his performance in the final of the brilliantly stupid competition gave us a glimpse both of what we’ve been missing by his absence and the many disparate elements that go into top tier casting even when the gameplay is just window-dressing.Beep boop, out of the loopIt’s been said that a good actor can make reading the phone book sound like Hamlet to their audience, and casting a

Snappi: “We are not happy with where we are right now, but we are happy with the potential that this lineup has”

c0ntact enter Flashpoint 2 hoping to improve on the ninth-place finish from the first edition of the league, with Rokas "⁠EspiranTo⁠" Milasauskas and Otto "⁠ottoNd⁠" Sihvo being the only two players who remain from that lineup. Marco "⁠Snappi⁠" Pfeiffer took over as in-game leader in June, but only now is he able to start putting his footprint on the team, which was finalised two weeks ago with the signings of Rigon "⁠rigoN⁠" Gashi and Lotan "⁠Spinx⁠" Giladi. The Danish in-game leader, who was a part of Heroic at the beginning

NiKo opens up but none of what he said bodes well for G2

HLTV’s got quite the scoop with their NiKo interview as the Bosnian star freely discussed contractual matters and team setups off the back of his big move to G2. There were many question marks about how he should be integrated on the eve of his debut at BLAST, and it’s tough to shake the feeling that it’s going to be a rocky road ahead for all parties concerned. You don’t even have to read between the lines too much – as is customary nowadays, he said the quiet part out

SwitchArcade Round-Up: ‘Monster Hunter Rise’ Announced, ‘Ori & the Will of the Wisps’, ‘Hades’, and Today’s Other New Releases and Sales

Hello gentle readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for September 18th, 2020. Yesterday’s Nintendo Direct Mini had a lot of great games in it, and a few of them dropped immediately after the video. Of course the highlight was Capcom finally bringing some original games to the Switch in the form of Monster Hunter Rise and Monster Hunter Stories 2, but that was far from the only surprise in the video. We quickly summarize that video today before going into the mountain of new releases, and all I can

Hades Review – To Hell And Back, Again And Again

The first time I beat the final boss in Hades, I felt an enormous sense of relief. I'd been fighting to see this ending for hours (months, technically, if you count my time in early access), and in roguelikes, it feels better than usual to see an ending. But while I was definitely a little too proud of putting together a set of abilities and perks that shredded the boss after they wrecked me just a few tries ago, that wasn't why I felt tears welling up. I'd gotten so

One for the future: mhL

mhL's introduction to Counter-Strike happened when he was just five years old, but unlike fellow prodigy Dmitry "⁠sh1ro⁠" Sokolov, the young Pole's interest for the game didn't last. mhL only really got into the game following the release of Global Offensive, in 2014, after being persuaded to try it by school friends. About 12 years old at the time, the game grabbed him instantly, with the scenes of Wiktor "⁠TaZ⁠" Wojtas and co. winning the Major in the Spodek Arena giving additional inspiration to take on the game competitively. "Before
