Vitality, joint-fifth in the standings with a 4-5 score at the time of writing, is tied with G2 Esports, Astralis, and Excel.

Well, it’s not exactly happy news: It’s looking more and more likely that Grand Theft Auto 6, the next Rockstar project, won’t be released until 2025.

More reports are coming out corroborating these rumors, and others that suggest the maps we’re going to play on will start small, then be expanded over time.

When it comes to Nintendo, this is a company that is extremely protective over its IP. We saw several video game fan projects and media get destroyed by Nintendo. Meanwhile, there are fans of several Nintendo IPs that are hopeful the company would make some kind of comeback.
