This article is sponsored by DJ Esports. Team Secret’s Dota 2 squad has been active for seven years in various forms. But none of those iterations have been able to lift the Aegis of Champions at The International.  Following their fourth-place exit at TI9, which was the organization’s highest placement at the event yet, Secret still decided to make some significant changes. They made room for team captain and TI1 winner Puppey to recruit TI7 winner MATUMBAMAN and his longtime coach with Team Liquid, Heen.  After those moves, Secret went on

Team Spirit can’t be stopped in the lower bracket of The International 10. They’ve followed up a sweep of two-time TI champions OG earlier today with the organization’s first win over Eastern European rival Virtus Pro since Spirit signed the Yellow Submarines stack last December and just the second win over VP in the organization’s history.  While the Vici Gaming and T1 series slowly slid into the Chinese Dota 2 team’s favor over the course of the three games, the CIS showdown was competitive throughout—even if some of the matches

FunPlus Phoenix mid laner Doinb made the boldest prediction of the 2021 League of Legends World Championship so far and couldn’t have been further off.  In an interview with esports coverage site PentaQ published yesterday, the FPX mid laner boldly claimed that his team “won’t lose one single game” after improving their Worlds record to 1-1 with a win against Cloud9 on Tuesday, Oct. 12. After those comments were made, FPX went on to lose four of their next five games at Worlds. The team was subsequently eliminated from the

Fiend will take home $50,000 for winning the tournament Fiend's in-game leader Kamen

MAD Lions continued their recent run of good form by beating Evil Geniuses 2-0 on Nuke and Dust2 to progress in the BLAST Fall Showdown. In the next round, the European mixture will take on G2 on Saturday at 18:30 . For Evil Geniuses, it will mean a step back to the drawing board as they continue the poor form that has plagued them this year. They are fortunate to be holding a Legends spot at the Major, meaning they will have plenty of practice time to try and rectify

Hearthstone has been doing great when it comes to implementing new and exciting game modes, which helps keep the game fresh. While new players will always find something new to try out in Hearthstone, it may not be the case for seasoned veterans at all times. New expansions try their best to spice up the metagame, but a completely different way to play the game can also do the trick. Hearthstone’s mercenaries game mode is the latest new way to play the game and it’s relatively different from all the game modes

This article is sponsored by DJ Esports. In the first match between FunPlus Phoenix and DWG KIA, FPX had already fallen behind during the pick/ban stage after choosing Kai’Sa in the bot lane. With DWG Kia’s counterattack, FPX were pushed back on their heels and were forced to spend the rest of the match catching up.  FPX has likely learned some hard lessons from that initial loss and has almost assuredly made adjustments. Expect FPX to change their lineup to compensate for their shortcomings in the last match by selecting champions
