Astralis at the Stockholm Major: Last hurrah, or new dynasty?

Astralis are the most successful organisation in the history of Counter-Strike. That is undeniable; the litany of tournament wins, the months upon months spent at the very top of the world rankings, the Majors to their name. Four Majors to be precise, the last three they have won on the bounce. At this point, with two years having passed since the last, it is almost difficult to remember anyone but Astralis winning a major; indeed, many newer fans of the game watching now will have never experienced anyone other than

ALGS coaching rules frustrate, confuse Apex pros

Several pro Apex Legends players expressed frustration and confusion with ALGS coaching rules on social media last night after the day’s Pro League matches broadcast some teams receiving live coaching. Complexity’s Bowen “Monsoon” Fuller started the discussion on Twitter, singling out Cloud9 coach Jamison “PVPX” Moore and posting a video clip of the team’s in-game communication to accompany his tweet. “Since when are coaches allowed to talk MID GAME and influence their teams decisions, rotates, and information?” Monsoon asked. “PVP is literally sitting there calling out edge teams and when

MIBR signs JOTA

MIBR has expanded its CS:GO roster with the addition of former Bravos player Jhonatan “⁠JOTA⁠” Willian, the organization announced today. JOTA will be a part of the starting lineup since Marcelo “chelo” Cespedes is still recovering from a car accident he suffered in September.

MIBR expand roster with JOTA

MIBR have announced the signing of Jhonatan "⁠JOTA⁠" Willian. The 23-year-old has joined the team to further expand the Brazilian roster following the additions of his former Bravos teammates Adriano "⁠WOOD7⁠" Cerato and Matheus "⁠Tuurtle⁠" Anhaia. JOTA had been a key player for Bravos and one of their best performers before the team disbanded earlier this month, averaging a 1.21 rating in 2021 and helping them become one of, if not the, best teams competing in South America as they clinched several titles on the local scene.

Spacestation wins, established teams stumble in biggest matches of ALGS pro league debut

Spacestation Gaming won day two of the North American ALGS pro league on Sunday, outperforming bigger teams like TSM, G2, and Cloud9, and leaving them tied with Sentinels on the ALGS leaderboard. Spacestation, a Utah-based organization, previously left the Apex scene in early 2020, but returned in 2021 when they signed Joseph “Frexs” Sanchez, Jay “Claraphi” Stanley, and Angello “Xenial” Cadenas. That squad placed 5th at the ALGS Championship, taking home a bit more than $35,000. Claraphi left in the summer of 2021 and Mark “Dropped” Thees, a former player

The best teams in Hearthstone Mercenaries

Hearthstone’s Mercenaries game mode is the latest addition to the game and invites players to try Hearthstone in a completely different concept. In the Mercenaries game mode, players will need to assemble teams with the mercenaries in their collection to overcome PvE battles or test their mettle against other players in the game mode. The number of mercenaries available makes it hard to settle on a team. Mercenaries’ abilities and roles push players to adjust their lineups based on the challenge they’re facing. Though adaptation is a fact of the game mode, there are few mercenaries and team compositions
