Dota 2’s 7.30e patch nerfs Magnus and Tiny, decreases Rune stored duration for Bottles

And Valve is also adding Marci, the game’s newest hero. A

VALORANT player discovers Viper line-up for retaking Fracture’s B site with ease

Even though VALORANT‘s new map was released less than 24 hours ago, players are already workshopping line-ups. Fracture is a hectic map with many angles and tons of flank potential, forcing teams to execute quickly or risk being pinched. One Viper player found a line-up that should help squads take Fracture’s B site with ease. When pushing through B Main, Viper players can toss their Poison Cloud so that it blocks the vantage from B Tower. Throw in a Toxic Screen that cuts off Canteen and Generator, and teams can
