Edward Gaming dominates VCT East Asia LCQ

  • Maru Gaming KR (Chibab, Jeong hi, WIX, Moves, Nakji)
  • On Slayers KR (Bazzi, TS, eKo, GodDead, Estrella)

The EDward gaming train did not stop, though; it revved throughout the tournament, defeating teams on their way to the finals. The team didn’t drop a single map on the way, defeating Reject and Northeption relatively easily. 

On Slayer, pushed to the lower bracket, had to battle through the lower bracket and play elimination games to reach the finals. They faced the might of Maru Gaming, Crazy Racoons, K-One Esc, and Northeption to face off against EDward Gaming in the finals.

 The finals started with Fracture, and Edward Gaming completely decimated On Slayers once again to win the first map 13-4, to play On Slayers’ Haven next. 

Haven was much more balanced than the first map, with On Slayers almost winning the game but EDward Gaming coming back to win the map 13-11 to the third map. 

The third map Split started with both teams exchanging six rounds, but on defense, EDward gaming completely shut down On Slayers’ attack to win the map 13-9 and win the series 3-0 to become the winners of the VCT East Asia LCQ. 

They now become the 12th team at Valorant Champions and would be flying out to Istanbul, Turkey to play Valorant Champions starting 2nd September

Edward Gaming qualifies for Valorant Champions 2022 as China joins VCT

0

Edward Gaming qualified for VCT for the first time after beating On Sla2ers in VCT East Asia: Last Chance Qualifiers Grand Finals. They will make history by being the very first Chinese team in the annals of the VCT to ever compete in a major competition representing East Asia.

The upcoming performance in Istanbul has generated a lot of excitement among the fans. Because of how well they did in the LCQ, they already had a sizable fanbase before they began competing. Their victories over opponents like NORTHEPTION, REJECT, KONE eSC, and On Sla2ers have been nothing short of spectacular.

The potential of the squad was rapidly brought to the attention of viewers of the VCT as they continued to advance through the stages of the LCQ and eventually made it to Istanbul.

From the Huya Summer Festival in 2020 all the way to the VCT EA: LCQ in 2022, the Chinese squad has traveled a great distance. As they progressed, they won the support of a large number of new followers by demonstrating that they are an unrivaled force in the game of Valorant by claiming victory over some strong opponents in various competitions.

Now that they’ve qualified for VCT: Istanbul, they must lead their country’s competitive gaming scene going forward. As a result of their victory in the East Asia LCQs, they are already a significant source of motivation for lower-tier teams from the region. As a result of this, fans are anticipating that the team will have a successful future.

The Edward Gaming lineup is led by two experienced coaches, and as a result, every single member of the team has established themselves as amazing players.

The current lineup has won 10 consecutive professional tournaments, which is a fantastic streak that will be difficult for practically any other team to match. Their performance in the current competition has been pretty impressive.

Since the beginning of the East Asia LCQ, Edward Gaming’s win rate has been a flawless 100% the entire time. Fans should have taken this as a clear indication that there is no way to stop this team.

The forthcoming Valorant Champions Tour: Istanbul is scheduled to begin on September 2, 2022, and run through September 18, 2022, when it will conclude. As China is being represented in front of a large audience, Edward Gaming will be making its maiden voyage into uncharted waters with this effort.

It is easy to imagine how stressful it will be for this team to compete in the upcoming competition under such intense pressure. This is the biggest chance for a lineup to distinguish itself as the best in Valorant esports history. The presence of Edward Gaming in Istanbul might be something to behold.

Fornite Eminem Leaks: Fortnite radio station suggests Eminem collaboration

0

The popular battle royale game published by Epic Games frequently features crossovers. In point of fact, that is one of the reasons why it has earned such a stellar reputation.

Crossover events and cosmetics promoting other franchises have been held in Fortnite, including Star Wars, Marvel, Rick and Morty, DC, Naruto, and League of Legends. Additionally, celebrities like Ariana Grande and Travis Scott have appeared in crossover events for Fortnite. And it looks like Eminem may be next in line.

Will Eminem make an appearance in Fortnite?

It has been speculated by members of the Fortnite community that the popular artist Eminem will work together with Epic Games on the upcoming battle royale game. Players believe the Icon radio station is teasing Slim Shady standing up.

A gamer shared a picture of themselves when they were driving around with the Icon radio blaring and remarking that it was only playing Eminem.

The Icon radio station is frequently used to highlight significant artists from the world of Fortnite, including those that have either performed in-game or had skins available for purchase in the game’s store. The fact that the station is solely dedicated to playing Eminem’s music gives the impression that something fishy is going on.

Obviously, all of this is conjecture at this point in time. An official announcement regarding a future partnership between Eminem and Epic Games has not yet been made.

However, this shouldn’t come as much of a shock to anyone. Bruno Mars and other musicians have cosmetics in the Item Shop and had songs on Icon radio when they initially crossed over.

It is not yet apparent what exactly the Eminem content will consist of. It might be little more than fresh skin, or it might encompass the whole thing. It’s even possible that it will be a live concert.

It’s also possible that this is just a music bundle. Players of Fortnite are waiting with bated breath for additional details regarding Eminem’s possible inclusion in the game.

Apex Legends Character Has Similar Ability To Jett From Valorant

0

Vantage, the newest legend in Apex Legends, made his debut in the game at the beginning of Season 14: Hunted. Vantage is a recon legend who brings a great deal of utility to the Apex Games. She is the team’s sniper and possesses special talents that give her an advantage at long range.

Her devastating sniper weapon, passive ability to see opponents and rapid movement provide for exciting gameplay. In addition, players have just uncovered a mobility method for Vantage that gives her the ability to dash to her pointer, similar to how Jett from Valorant does it. Notably, Vantage’s dash is due to a game fault, and gamers have combined it with interesting moves like double-jump in Apex Legends.

Vantage’s abilities : 

Spotter’s Lens is considered passive.

If you are unarmed or using a scope with a medium-to-long range, you can utilize aim down sight (ADC) to scout with your eyepiece, and you can use a bullet drop indicator to observe where your rounds will land.

Echo Relocation is a tactical term

First, you must position your flying friend Echo, and then you must fly towards him. In order to launch, you need a clear view of Echo in the distance. It is important to note that your pet bat can be moved around even when it is on its cooldown, and it can be recalled at any time.

Sniper’s Mark, the Ultimate Ability

You and your team will receive an additional damage benefit if you use your customized sniper rifle to mark enemy targets and apply it.

Before we dive into this trick, let’s first acquire a good grasp on all of Vantage’s powers that he possesses in Apex Legends.

Perform a dash trick on the Vantage

Skeptation, an Apex Legends player, shared a video of themselves playing the game on Twitter, in which they can be seen rushing around in a variety of directions. The plan is to stop the animation of her Tactical ability and make a break for it to get to the destination as quickly as possible.

Twitter user theh1d noted that players can cancel Vantage’s Q animation by popping shield cells or batteries and run if they promptly deploy Echo.

To put it another way, the Vantage dash trick operates as follows:

  • Step 1: The first thing you do is begin to pop a shield battery.
  • Step 2: Determine which way you wish to travel, and hold either A or D depending on your choice.
  • Step 3: Continue to depress and maintain your hold on the ability button labeled “echo relocation.”

You should be able to dash instantly if you follow these three steps and do it again and again. The strategy entails making use of shields while holding down both the movement button and the tactical button in order to sprint in the desired direction.

It’s possible that using this dash on its own won’t be productive during battles, but players can throw in some wild maneuvers and double jumps to throw off their opponents.

Respawn Entertainment will rapidly remedy this issue in the not-too-distant future because this type of movement was not supposed to be a part of the game. If you wish to dash like Valorant’s Jett in Apex Legends, you can do it using Vantage.
