Entering the finals stage are two titans of StarCraft II, both entering with their hard-won Code S championships draped figuratively around their waists. These two players are already deeply ingrained in the history of competitive StarCraft II—this match is about

TY's Code S title defense came to an end in the semifinals, as fellow AfreecaTV Freecs teammate Stats defeated him by a 4-2 scoreline. Stats had been stuck in an unusual Code S slump for the past few seasons, being stuck in the group stages even as he achieved podium finishes in other, 'weekender' events. Having returned to form in Code S, Stats is set play in the finals for the first time since the March of 2018. Overall, Stats is arguably playing his best StarCraft II since he beat

Growth, Talent, and TacticalFor most of us, TSM vs. Team Liquid was the first time we saw Edward “Tactical” Ra in action.

Far from a bad omen, Tactical’s debut was a spectacular stroke of luck. With Tactical, the team picked up two dominant

Multiplayer shooter Onward released this week for Oculus Quest. If you’re curious what we think so far, here is our Onward Oculus Quest review! Technically, this is an Early Access release, as you’ll be informed when you first boot the game up. However, Facebook doesn’t officially allow Early Access content on Quest and the game’s store page doesn’t designate it as an early version; this means you don’t find out it’s Early Access until after buying it.
