Astralis are able to stay alive for at least another day in Sweden with their 2-0 victory over paiN. The Danes will move into the fifth round of the Swiss stage tomorrow where a win would see them recover from a terrible 0-2 start and complete the reverse sweep, advancing to the top 16. However, they will have to overcome a tougher opponent than paiN or GODSENT to pull off that feat, with BIG and Spirit their possible opponents. The final Brazilian representatives in the Challengers stage paiN had a

…with the Major in Stockholm coming up, bringing that home to Sweden is my number one goal. Lofty ambitions no doubt, but for a player who has been there and done that so many times, it's merely business as usual. device made no secret of his desires, and maybe even his expectations, when he joined NIP six months ago. It was a blockbuster move, one that came out of left field and shocked the world of Counter-Strike. It almost felt like ambitious goals were required, otherwise the transfer didn't really

Riot Games surprised League of Legends players yesterday with its latest announcement regarding the /all chat in-game. Starting with Patch 11.21, which will be released on Wednesday, Oct. 20, League players won’t be able to use the /all chat in matchmade queues. This move could be a major factor in battling toxicity in League, the developers think. But a few of the League’s popular content creators have spoken out on the topic, including Tyler1. The news spurred a lot of controversy among players, who disagreed with Riot’s decision. Some of

Team Spirit staved off elimination and secured a top-half finish at The International 10 in today’s clean 2-0 sweep over Fnatic. While the teams looked even on paper, Spirit were in top form. The young Dota 2 roster showed no mercy while holding Fnatic to single-digit kills in both games. Spirit’s off laner Magomed “Collapse” Khalilov’s stock continues to rise at TI10. In a stellar game one on his signature Mars, along with lane partner Miroslaw “Mira” Kolpakov’s Io, the 19-year-old dominated the lane with ease. He proceeded to make

The last string that held Team Liquid together broke. The multi-time LCS champion team committed millions of dollars this past November, signing two high-profile free agents and renewing its mid laner to one of the biggest extensions in the league—and now, it looked all for naught.  It had already been a rough June for Liquid. One of those stars, top laner Alphari, got benched amid behavioral issues early in the month, and the other, Santorin, played through debilitating migraines and needed time to recover. Yet there was one more unforeseen
