Everyone was able to take a deep breath after the first day of the 2021 League of Legends World Championship group stage, but the second day of the tournament’s main event refused to take its foot off the gas. At multiple points throughout the day, the supposed “game of the tournament” was played, only for another game later in the schedule to usurp the previous one of its title.  Now, after 16 full games have been played during the group stage, some groups are already appearing to be complete washes

With their stellar performance at IEM Fall EU, NIP have seen themselves climb into the top 3 in the world rankings, displacing Vitality. It is the first time in almost five years that the organization finds itself at such heady heights, having last appeared at No. 3 shortly after an IEM Oakland 2016 victory. Their rise comes off the back of an 11 game winning streak for Hampus "⁠hampus⁠" Poser and co., which culminated in their victory over ENCE in the race to the IEM Fall EU title, the organisation's

Astralis are through to the IEM Fall semi-finals after defeating Fiend in a series that was marred with technical issues and saw the Danes secure a comfortable 2-0 victory on the way to the next playoffs round. There, Emil "⁠Magisk⁠" Reif and company will face the winner of the last quarter-final series between G2 and ENCE on Saturday at 20:15 . The win sees Astralis remain in contention for a Legends spot. Assuming they will make no changes to the roster (such as bringing back Lukas "⁠gla1ve⁠" Rossander), they can

Reigning world champion Paulo Vitor Damo da Rosa entered the 2020-21 Magic Pro League season already qualified for the Magic World Championship XXVII. By defeating Marcio Carvalho in the finals in 2020, Damo da Rosa was the first person to earn an invitation to this weekend’s tournament. A stellar MPL season—which saw Damo da Rosa finish second place with a 64.5-percent win rate, according to MTG Data—set an expectation that the hall of famer could win back-to-back World Championships, a feat accomplished only by Shahar Shenhar in 2013 and 2014.

Call of Duty: Warzone’s second annual Halloween event, The Haunting, is due to begin in a few weeks on Oct. 19. Last year’s event added zombies to the map along with a spooky theme, including different modes, blueprints to earn, and operator skins. Those skins included horror movie legends like Leatherface and Jigsaw. And this year’s event will be similar, according to data mines and leaks. I got booted out of my zombies match and when I went back into multiplayer Ghostface was appearing on the Warsaw team! SICK ???

After his unceremonious departure from Dignitas in June, the future for North American jungler Dardoch seemed uncertain. The 23-year-old had been considered a prodigy in the past but has fallen from grace following multiple disappointing season finishes.

Dardoch is reportedly interested in exploring options in multiple regions, including the ERLs, LLA, and the LCS. His priority, however, is to make his debut

GODSENT have claimed victory in DreamHack Open September North America, edging past Extra Salt in the best-of-five grand final to earn $35,000 and book a spot at the ESL Pro League Season 15 Conference in November. The group stage of the tournament was rather clear-cut, with the only notable team to miss out on the playoffs being Bad News Bears, who fell to a comeback from TeamOne in their decider match-up. In Group A, paiN topped the board, while Group B was led by GODSENT, who managed to net the
