Pokemon GO is, as usual, a little more family-friendly with its Halloween 2019 event. Players can catch versions of the four starter pokemon in cute Halloween costumes , including Pikachu dressing up as Mimikyu. There are also lots of goodies for trainers, special Field Research assignments, and the chance to battle against Darkrai in a five-star r

The best heroes of the storm players can start with are tank units that have lots of hp. Even many of the high-level players start out with these damage sponges because it’s the best way to protect the glass cannon units and buy time to implement more complicated strategies later

Also if the player loses in the creep rounds, they will still get an item it will just be randomized. The game is designed to give players a boost when they need it and crafty players can utilize this kindness to give them an edge in later batt

There are a lot of different items in this game with varying tiers of power. The only way to get these items is to beat the creep rounds that pop up between matches. If you win you choose the item you want if you lose you are given a random i

With studios scrambling to keep up with light-speed growth, a reactive wait-and-see attitude seems like the industry-wide solution."I think it has all the tools to really go the distance and become something powerful," says Peter Guber, CEO of Mandalay Entertainment, to CNBC about the future of esports. This roughly translates to, "it looks cool, but no ones's really thought about it too hard yet." Until it becomes something more powerful, you can find me playing games instead of watching t

Aphelios casts a lunar spotlight that stops when it hits an enemy champion. Centered around the hit enemy, Aphelios deals damage and locks on to each enemy hit. A volley of basic attacks rain from the sky on top of each locked on enemy with global range based on Aphelios's main wea

Teamfight Tactics is a relatively new mode in League of Legends which essentially features competing casts of characters who can be purchased with gold and arranged on a grid to automatically battle opposing lineups. In the same reality as League, this seems improbable for several continuity reasons. In our reality though, the simple question is "why isn’t this just a standalone ga

League of Legends is known for their character’s immaculate designs that have remained untouched by any other characters within the gaming industry. And because of these intricate designs, cosplayers routinely make efforts to make these iconic character designs three-dimensional. And while many gamers may doubt the success of such an attempt, the creative craftsmanship at the hands of cosplayers has proven victorious for recreating this intimidating costu

At the end of the day, esports is still relatively new. In the current state of things, most games are simply not worth watching. However, that may change. The most popular games will likely develop more polished ways of conducting business, acting as their own miniature industries. As a result, better coverage for games will take some time to arrive, with bigger titles leading the

Borderlands 3 may be a recent release, but Gearbox already has plenty of plans for the role-playing shooter . The Bloody Harvest is free for all Borderlands 3 players, and while the event hasn't begun yet, its start date will be revealed later this month. Nevertheless, a few details on the spooky event are already available: a new vendor named Maurice will appear onboard players' ships who accepts a Halloween-specific currency called Hectoplasm. New enemies will also start cropping up all over the galaxy equipped with terror debuffs to knock players off their game. Later on, players will gain access to the Bloody Harvest map; a location full of haunts and led by Captain Haunt -- and any player that beats him will score some choice Halloween-themed g

Growing up, Azar was more of a reader than a warrior, much to the disappointment of his father, the emperor of Shurima. When a series of tragic events took his brothers, Azir became the unlikely heir to the throne. Azir unfittingly tried to endure the Ascension ritual which he would awake from thousands of years later with the power to wield the sands of Shur

The builds for these characters are typically decked out in intricate armor, with many of the characters also holding weapons of massive proportions. Despite the seemingly daunting tasks, these cosplayers have defied the odds to create some of the best League of Legends cosplays on the inter

It’s more than a semantic concern, however. Unlike traditional sports, it’s nearly impossible to tune in to games that you don’t play personally. For instance, I’ve never been into Overwatch , and although I understand how the gameplay works, Overwatch League is completely unenjoyable to watch. You can’t appreciate the level of difficulty that certain moves take to execute unless you’ve attempted them yourself. This rule is almost universally applied across all of esports. Unlike traditional sports, where pure athleticism can be appreciated void of any tactical or technical knowledge, esports requires a higher degree of familiarity. At best, this means that viewership rarely crosses between games. At worst, this means esports isn't viewer-friendly and may never have what it takes to reach wider audien
