OG proclaimed by the community as the dream meme team set standards high, kept things interesting, and amassed a following of fans like no other. Their strive paid off, and with it, the earnings, pride, and hearts of those that believed around gathered to congratulate and commemorate another monumental moment in professional Dota 2 hist

TNC Predator made impressive achievements and left standard-setting records in their trails. The start of excellence began with the team’s roster change and introduction of two new players, Park "March" Tae-won and Damien "kpii" C

The obvious answer is because they want a new experience. That’s why new games keep getting made and why pretty much every game has a limited lifespan. Once their player has had their fill, they move on to the next big th

For Season 2, everyone will start as Bronze IV, but Respawn has suggested that in future seasons, there may be a starting placement based on how far you managed to climb in the previous series ("series" being the term they are using to distinguish competitive season from general content seaso

There are a total of 147 champions in **League of Legends ** , and Riot has just released the most complicated one yet. Aphelios, the Weapon of the Faithful is a Marksman created by two of the most well-known designers at Riot Games: Stashu and CertainlyT. These two designers are responsible for some of the more complicated champions in the game, such as Qiyana, Yasuo, and Thresh. However, all of these champions can carry the game in the right hands, and Aphelios is no differ

After playing several hours of Genesis , I have this vague desire to play more. I don't totally credit that to anything unique to Genesis , however. The simplified experience is nice in some ways. I didn't use voice chat, and there's obviously no text chat, so other players couldn't be toxic without going out of the way to send PMs, which didn't happen. The connection was surprisingly stable even on wi-fi. It was also nice to play a MOBA without a definitive meta, with beginners who are just there to have fun (and don't have the map awareness to avoid my gan

Making headlines and defining this year is OG’s record-making win at the International 9 last August. The team became the first back-to-back winner, first team to win two Ti’s, became the highest-paid professional esport players in the world and achieved that with a clean slate of zero matches lost during the International 9. And of course won $15.6 million in the proc

Building up your hero is automated by default. If you don't "pre-order" a late-game item, the game will prompt you to buy the next affordable recommended item as soon as you have the gold. When you level up, the game will automatically apply a point to an ability. Since you can't freely choose targets with a mouse pointer, there's a priority system. With a click of the left stick, your hero will cycle between targeting creeps, structures, or enemy heroes. It's all streamlined, designed for console players who probably never played a PC MOBA. Fortunately for experienced players, it can all be turned off. Well, except for the game pad controls. The devs are planning to eventually put Genesis on PC, but have stated that they don't plan on incorporating mouse and keyboard contr

The farming aficionado himself proved that on the right occasions, Dota 2 could be played and dominated by one person. Day 2 of the International 9's group stage's was where Artour "Arteezy" Babaev confirmed that not

Before I talk Genesis gameplay , I feel like I have to share my MOBA experience. My street cred, if you will. I played a lot of LoL during its heyday, and made it a point to collect all of the Ahri and Rumble skins. When ranked was first introduced, I grouped up with four friends and tried to take on the world. We fought hard just to stay in Gold Rank. We once experimented with Dota 2 , which I enjoyed but also too complex to stick with. After the team dissolved, I played Smite briefly. With this in mind, I feel rather confident in saying that Genesis plays like an easier League of Legen

Hitman 2 will feature Halloween-themed challenges and events, plus a graveyard map, beginning on October 22. Three of those challenge packs also introduce new enemies: the Master Vampire, Master Scarecrow, and Himmapan Horror. Then, on October 25, players will get the chance to hunt down a serial killer stalking the inhabitants of Whittleton Creek. For the main event, on October 31, players can delve into a challenge pack based on old slasher films -- The Uninvi

As a Marksman who wants to use his abilities often and has empowered basic attacks, Essence Reaver and Runaan's Hurricane are core items on Aphelios. Infinity Edge is usually the strongest third item, but the rest of the build depends on the enemy team and how the game is going. Phantom Dancer and Guardian Angel provide defensive capabilities from Assassins and burst damage, Bloodthirster provides sustainability and damage in long teamfights, and Mortal Reminder counters an enemy team with a lot of healing. As for his unique stat leveling, maxing his Attack Speed or Armor Penetration is generally the best thresh runes bet. Max Attack Speed first against a squishier team, and max Armor Penetration first against an armor stacking team. The Attack Damage Aphelios gains from leveling that stat does not scale well into the late g
