The final guard: Five legacy Major players left standing

Seven years of CS:GO Majors. Fifteen events in history where players have fought fervently to crown themselves as champions of the biggest tournament in the circuit, to reach glory and eternally etch their names in the history books of Counter-Strike. And only six players are left with the honor of having played at every single one. Heading into PGL Major Stockholm, now-retired and former NAVI in-game leader Danylo "⁠Zeus⁠" Teslenko is about to fall off that already short list of legacy players, leaving us with just five names who will

poizon and Complexity part ways

Valentin "⁠poizon⁠" Vasilev is no longer a part of Complexity, the Dallas-based organization has announced, ending the 22-year-old's 21-month long tenure with the team and making him a free agent. The move comes after Complexity failed to qualify for PGL Major Stockholm via the Regional Major Ranking leaderboard, finding themselves eliminated from IEM Fall Europe in 17-20th place and firmly out of contention for a Major spot. The team's subsequent appearance in the BLAST Premier Fall Showdown was also lacklustre as they narrowly fought past MIBR, only to be crushed

100 Thieves survive early scare from Gen.G in NA VCT Last Chance Qualifier opener

100 Thieves’ opening map loss to Gen.G proved to be nothing more than a false alarm, as the top-seeded North American team at the Last Chance Qualifier comfortably won their next two maps to advance to the next round of the LCQ. On Breeze, 100T went with a comp that’s not typical to them: a double-duelist setup with Asuna on Reyna and Nitr0 on Jett, putting recently promoted b0i on Viper. They got off to a hot start on attack with some great entries from Nitr0, taking the first five

Here are the Pokémon UNITE Patch 1.2.1.6 notes

TiMi Studio announced that a new balance update was coming today for Pokémon UNITE that would nerf several of Sylveon’s moves that the developers deemed too powerful. But nobody expected the patch to hit the Fairy-type this hard so soon after it was added to the game.  In the Version 1.2.1.6 update, Sylveon had the damage output for Mystical Fire and Hyper Voice drastically lowered, losing nearly 500 damage per hit in some cases.  Because Sylveon is so new, both moves did look broken in certain instances. But it feels

VALORANT player pulls off quick ace with Sova ultimate

There have been some wild aces shared by VALORANT players lately, and in a recent clip shared to Reddit, the stars aligned for a Sova player to pull off a perfect ace with their ultimate. Sova’s Hunter’s Fury is one of the most useful in the game as it allows a player to fire charged arrows through walls at targets who may be out of sight.
