Nick Johnson • Apr 16, 14:29Esports scholarships are on the rise, with colleges and universities around the world starting to offer students money to come play for their teams, and the proof is in the numbers. Confetti blanketed the arena as it erupted in cheers as the University of California defeated Maryvale, winning the 2018 National Championships not thanks to a buzzer-beater three-point shot or a hail mary play on fourth-and-one but off the back of a pentakill. Esports is growing around the world and colleges are starting to take

Position 5 Faceless Void is making waves in North American Dota 2 pubs after patch 7.29

Dota 2 14/04/2021 03:00 Siddharth “Gopya” Gopujkar Faceless Void is typically played as the carry and has been seen in the offlane role too. But patch 7.29 has made him a candidate for the position 5 support. Image: JimESC Over the years, Dota 2 has seen some insane exchanges in roles. Support Invoker, core Io, support Gyrocopter, support Luna, core Shadow Demon, and the list goes on. Add to that list – support Faceless Void! If a million guesses had to be made, support Void would be in them because

Valve releases stealth patch to buff Dawnbreaker; leads to 10% increase in win rate

Dota 2 12/04/2021 22:30 Siddharth “Gopya” Gopujkar When Dawnbreaker was first released, the hero was quite weak with a win rate of less than 40%. A stealth patch released by Valve changed that. Typically, when a new hero embraces the game of Dota 2, the hero is overpowered and has a crazy high win percentage. This is possibly by design, as it encourages players to pick it and helps them get acquainted with the hero. The hero released in patch 7.28, Hoodwink, was insanely broken on release and had to

Leading from the Isolated Lane

In the average TL game, Alphari leads his lane opponent by 493 gold and 12.5 CS by 10 minutes. If you don’t know the numbers of League, this may not seem like much. To contextualize, Alphari’s 493 GD/10 is the highest the LCS has seen since the League began recording the stat in Spring 2014 and likely the best NA has ever seen. His CS/D is the second highest after Huni’s 13.1 when he and Reignover came over to NA as one of the best Jungle-Top duos in the West.You

Dota 2 10/04/2021 06:30 Siddharth “Gopya” Gopujkar A detailed look at the general changes from patch 7.29 that are bound to have massive effects on the game of Dota 2. Whenever a new Dota 2 patch is released, the spotlight always falls on the new hero and the item and hero changes. But general gameplay changes play a significant role in shaping how the meta develops, because of the fact that they have an effect on each and every game played, irrespective of the draft and item choices. Let’s take

Hearthstone Forged in the Barrens Decks to Try

by Jason Parker in Hearthstone | Apr, 9th 2021 It’s time to look at Forged in the Barrens decks for Hearthstone! There should be plenty of new, exciting builds in the meta, thanks to this expansion. I want to at least highlight a few decks that are worthy of trying. I’m not going to promise they will set the world on fire as Tier-1, top of the world decks though. But they should be a lot of fun to play. I’ll come back to the meta in a few weeks,
