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

Code S Season 2 it set to have a "Freecy" final four, as Afreeca Freecs players TY and Stats won the last two quarterfinal matches to join teamamte DongRaeGu in the semifinals. TY took on PartinG in his quarterfinal match, with the DPG Protoss looking to avenge his 2-4 loss to TY in the previous season's semifinals. However, TY's early-game tactics proved to be PartinG's undoing once more, with his Probes suffering greatly throughout the series. In the last quarterfinal match, a rejuvenated Stats took down Trap in a brutal

Three groups into the RO16, and we're already guaranteed to have one of the wonkiest Code S playoffs brackets in years. Group C saw our second ex-military player take first place in their group, as Dream joined DongRaeGu in advancing to the playoffs with a #1 group seed.StarCraft II isn't alchemy, but every upset still requires an equivalent exchange—this time around, it was Maru who was sacrificed as Dream went through in first place. Surprisingly enough, Dream didn't even have to beat Maru directly to advance in first place—Solar and

It’s finally happened: both Sony and Microsoft have shown their hand. We now know what both the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X look like, what’s inside of them, and what kind of games they’ll have. So now’s as good at time as any to start properly comparing them, yeah? Both companies almost seem to be inviting the contrast, as they’re doing things very similarly and yet differently at the same time. While we’re still missing some details on both consoles — namely, the goddamned price, come on you two

Hello gentle readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for June 11th, 2020. A whole bunch of news is slipping out, and not all of it seems to be hitting at the time its publishers originally intended. That’s how it goes some days. We’ve got a few cool retro-bits to talk about before we go into the usual new release summaries. I’ve also gathered up all of the new sales that have hit since yesterday and added a bunch more from the Summer Sale for good measure. It’s a big

As seen in the cinematic reveal trailer for Assassin's Creed Valhalla, protagonist Eivor uses a conspicuous version of the hidden blade. In fact, this blade is quite a bit less hidden, and is instead on proud display when charging into combat against dangerous Templar enemies . Ubisoft decided to remove the "hidden" aspect of the hidden blade in order to better fit the tone of Valhalla and Eivor's culture. However, it will still keep with the majority of the series' games in that it will cause instant death. This function
