This article is sponsored by DJ Esports. In the first match between FunPlus Phoenix and DWG KIA, FPX had already fallen behind during the pick/ban stage after choosing Kai’Sa in the bot lane. With DWG Kia’s counterattack, FPX were pushed back on their heels and were forced to spend the rest of the match catching up.  FPX has likely learned some hard lessons from that initial loss and has almost assuredly made adjustments. Expect FPX to change their lineup to compensate for their shortcomings in the last match by selecting champions

No previous experience playing at The International didn’t hinder Virtus Pro today. All five players made their debut on the event’s main stage in the upper bracket and completed what many Dota 2 fans view as an upset against a veteran Vici Gaming squad.  This was a clash of playstyles, with VG playing composed and VP going for their usual, more aggressive drafts. And despite being punished early, the young CIS squad managed to gather themselves and win the series 2-1.  VG looked like they might have an easy time

The second match of North America’s Last Chance Qualifiers had all sorts of tension, as XSET and Luminosity Gaming faced off to get one step closer to the last NA spot in Champions. Haven was definitely LG’s map and the 13-2 scoreline sure shows it. This map was XSET’s pick, but XSET weren’t able to get anything done. Tanner “TiGG” Spanu came on very aggressively, taking away XSET’s ability to control the timing of the match. XSET were constantly pushed on and unprepared for the pressure LG were putting on

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

coldzera joined Complexity at the beginning of September, which marked an end to a three-month stint on FaZe's bench for the Brazilian star after he decided to step down and look for options elsewhere, replacing the injured Kristian "⁠k0nfig⁠" Wienecke on the active roster. Now, coldzera is heading into his third tournament with the Benjamin "⁠blameF⁠" Bremer-led side at BLAST Premier Fall Showdown, hoping for a good result after the first two didn't go Complexity's way, as the team finished third in their BLAST group and exited IEM Fall Europe

Virtus.pro had a very solid showing during the group stage at The International 10, finishing second in Group A with an 11-5 record and earning a top seed in the upper bracket of the event’s main stage.  During that group stage run, VP defeated Evil Geniuses, Alliance, and Team Aster, while also splitting their series with OG and showing that the young roster was more than capable of contending with players who have attended numerous TIs in the past.  Unlike the upstarts that many

Wrist rests provide extra support for keyboard users to help them feel more comfortable when spending hours in front of their PC. They can also reduce fatigue and pain in the wrists caused by long-term keyboard use. Some people also believe wrist rests prevent ailments associated with long-term keyboard use, such as Carpal tunnel syndrome. Many keyboards, like the Corsair K95 and Razer Huntsman V2, come with built-in wrist rests, and it’s also possible to buy standalone wrist rests, like the HyperX Wrist Rest and Aidata CGL006B.
