In a podcast for the Virtus.pro fan app Bearloga, the organization's General Manager Sergey Glamazda spoke about a plethora of topics, including their CS:GO roster which is currently ranked fifth in the world. His comments were first reported on by Cybersport.ru. Throughout 2021, the CIS powerhouse Virtus.pro has been firmly rooted in the top 10, ranking as high as No. 3 in March, but a last-place finish at the StarLadder CIS RMR event in June-July jeopardized qualification for the biggest event of the year — the PGL Stockholm Major.

Tekken producer Katsuhiro Harada welcomed Super Smash Bros. series creator and producer Masahiro Sakurai on his podcast today. The two talked about a series of topics, including how they view online interaction with fans, approaching other game developers, and even ghosts—all with Harada’s open and direct style of communication that has become a staple of the show. One of the main topics was Sakurai’s reluctance to connect with other game developers because he is worried that “people will think that that game’s character will be added” if information about the

REPLACED made a big splash at E3 2021, and for good reason — the upcoming cinematic platformer oozes cool, from its gorgeous 2.5D pixelated art aesthetic to the promise of a thrilling cyberpunk story set in a grim dystopia.

But then again, REPLACED is incredibly good-looking.
