DecemberI Love The Idea Of Esports, But It’s Hard To Watch
Final Fantasy 14 kicked off its All Saints' Wake just a couple of days ago on October 17. To access All Saints' Wake, players must be at least level 15 and complete the "It's Probably Pirates" quest. From there, they can head to Old Gridania and speak to the Adventurers' Guild Investigator for more information. The event gives players a chance to earn plenty of in-game items, including the new Circus Ahriman mount and a few favorites from previous ye
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
These Udyr Abilities 2025 continuously pay dividends as the ring constricts and advantageous positions become increasingly limited. Having a Pathfinder on board ensures that they're always reachable, whether you're looking to seize them for an advantage or desperately need a way to counter a team that's already set up in a hard to reach s
Grinding your way to the top of the leaderboard will be no small feat in Season 2, and Ranked League has a somewhat unusual system for gaining ranked points, or RP, compared to other shooters. Here is everything you need to know about Ranked Leagues in Season 2 of Apex Legen
Outliving your opponents means your squad needs to survive at the very at least until top ten, or half the other squads have been eliminated. If you make it to ten squads remaining, you will receive 2 RP, make it to final five for 4 RP, and survive until top three for 7 RP. Farming top ten and top five finishes may seem like an attractive and easy method to rise through the ranks, but isn't engaging the enemy so much for fun that stealthing your way to the finish? Get out there and fi
Rocket League is teaming up with Stranger Things for Halloween this year for the Haunted Hallows event, which offers an Upside Down version of the Farmstead map for players to use. There's even a great big Mind Flayer looming over the field, to give players a little extra spook. And the Halloween in-game currency, Candy Corn, can be used to acquire a bunch of new themed it
Overwatch is going all out for its Halloween Terror event with new skins and in-game rewards, plus the return of Junkenstein's Revenge co-op mode. Every week, Junkenstein will offer new and spooky character-themed winner rewards: nine wins in each of the three weeks will yield icons, sprays, and skins for Junkrat, Baptiste, and Sombra, in that or
Blizzard’s decision to cancel its 2019 competitive scene came from nowhere in late December of 2018. The news hit members most invested into the community right before the holidays. It left players who had been training for the next championship out of luck, and those associated with the esports production seemingly unemployed from one day to the n
You will be rewarded 1 RP for each kill you get up to a maximum of 5 RP per match. Remember: these need to be confirmed kills, so make sure you are finishing off your opponents once they are knocked down. This is somewhat controversial as the system incentives you to thirst your opponents when it otherwise may benefit your team to focus fire and eliminate the entire enemy squad together. Wins will get you the most bang for your buck, so don't risk a potential win just to get one more RP for a k
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
To no one’s surprise, the long-awaited release of Starcraft II launched with esports as an integral part of Blizzard’s marketing strategy, and yet, it never reached those same peaks as its predeces
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
