Daedalus Valorant Skin Bundle Confirmed By Riot Games

0

Daedalus is a design that was recently leaked a few months ago by xtr_cs, who is well-known for leaking information, and it is a skin that is supposed as ancient as the game’s beta. The design is called Daedalus. Within the next few weeks, it will likely emerge as the most recent addition to the skin care product range.

The word “Daedalus” was stated in photographs that were inadvertently uploaded by Riot Games on its Twitter page. This is the first official confirmation that we have received following the leaks that were mentioned earlier this year.

The Tweet has been removed after posting it, but you can still view the image that was attached to it below.

XTR was the one responsible for the initial release of the Daedalus skin, as was revealed above. You can view an image of it in the following paragraph.

At this point, we do not know which tier of skins Daedalus belongs to. It is not clear whether it is a premium skin bundle like the Reaver 2.0 or if it is a lower tier that does not have upgrades. If it is the latter, then there are no upgrades included.

It is not out of the question to assume that the Daedalus is the same as the Titanmail and Sarmad skins given that they were both base-level skins with no upgrades available. Now, all we can do is wait and watch what happens.

The new bundle, codenamed ‘Daedalus’, was initially leaked by reputed Valorant data miner ‘XTR’ on Twitter. The leaker posted a picture of the Daedalus Vandal alongside two other Vandal skins that are likely to be released during Episode 4 Act 3.

The exact release date of the ‘Daedalus’ skin bundle hasn’t been set in stone just yet, but fans can expect to see this bundle being added to the shooter during Episode 4 Act 3.

After VCT NA LCQ exit, what’s next for Sentinels?

0

Sentinels were eliminated from the VCT NA Last Chance Qualifier after suffering a heartbreaking 1-2 defeat at the hands of 100 Thieves. This result brought an end to the team’s season.

Despite this, it is highly unlikely that we will have seen the last of the team, especially considering the new franchising model that Riot Games plans to implement in the year 2023.

Even while Sentinels have not yet officially secured a position in the new Americas league, it appears as though they will be the overwhelming favorites to accomplish so.

Given that Shopify Rebellion denounced the selection process as a “popularity contest” when they were rejected, it seems implausible that Riot would not choose the team that is undoubtedly the face of Valorant for its partnered league.

Sentinels surpassed viewership records for North American Valorant with over 608,000 peak concurrent viewers in their first match of the VCT NA LCQ, which they played against The Guard. The match was against The Guard.

But will the same roster be presented to us? Dot Esports has been informed by the newly acquired flex player Jordan “Zellsis” Montemurro that he will remain a member of the squad even after the conclusion of the LCQ. Zellsis will compete in the VCT 2023 season for the Sentinels if they are successful in acquiring a partnered slot in the Americas league for that season.

“If franchising is a thing and it’s in LA, there’s a very good chance I will continue to play professional Valorant. Honestly, I don’t think we’ve gotten close to our ceiling because we’ve been at boot camp for two weeks.” said ShahZam on his stream. 

The future of Michael “Shroud” Grzesiek, on the other hand, is somewhat uncertain. The 28-year-old CS:GO pro turned Twitch superstar returned to pro play for the VCT NA LCQ, although it’s uncertain if he’ll stay with Sentinels or continue competing.

Fans, however, should take solace in the fact that he is still considering the possibility of continuing his career in pro-Valorant if certain requirements are met.

At this point, everything depends on Riot. Even Shahzeb “ShahZaM” Khan has confessed that he is unsure about what the future holds for the squad. After the conclusion of their most recent game, he commented, “We’ll have to see what teams make franchising and what ones don’t.”

Only one month has passed since the current roster was put together. The other people competing for the LCQ have had significantly more time to practice than you have. This is a team that has the impression that it still has a lot more to give; all that has to happen is for the stars to align so that they can do so.

Fortnite UFO locations in Chapter 3 Season 3

0

UFO is nothing new in Fortnite. It was introduced in the game with the Chapter 2 Season 7 update. Even though many players were fond of the UFOs, numerous players didn’t like them at all. Be that as it may, the UFOs are back again in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3. However, the UFOs only spawn in certain locations around the map. In this article, we are going to talk about all the locations where you can find a UFO.

The UFO is not only good for attacking enemies but is also good for abducting them. Apart from that, you can also bring your knocked-down teammate to somewhere safe to revive them.

Without wasting time let’s find out the UFO locations in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3.

UFO locations in Fortnite

Around the map, there are only six locations where you can find UFOs:

  • South of Logjam Lotus
  • Northwest of Sleepy Sound
  • Southeast of The Daily Bugle
  • Northeast of Greasy Grove
  • South of the Joneses
  • North of Chonker’s Speedway

Note: Go to the spawn locations as fast as possible because other players will also try to get a UFO.

GodLike Esports to shift to Dubai if BGMI is not unbanned

Chetan “Kronten” Chandgude, the owner of GodLike Esports, has revealed that he is planning to shift his organisation to Dubai in the upcoming days if Battlegrounds Mobile India is not unbanned in the country.

The BGMI ban has affected a lot of professional Indian rosters for almost a month. With the back and forth between the Indian government and Krafton, the future of BGMI remains to be very vague in the country. Amidst all of this chaos, Indian organizations have to decide their future actions and plan accordingly.

Many Indian BGMI organizations have potentially planned to shift to the PUBG: New State and take advantage of its rising popularity in India after the BGMI ban. One of the examples is Team Esportswala who recently hired a new PUBG: New State roster in preparations of upcoming massive tournaments.

GodLike Esports has been in the epicenter of BGMI esports for the past two years. It was one of the first organizations from India to have a PUBG Mobile team and their popularity grew multifold when they hired the famous ex-TSM roster of Jonathan and company. The recent few changes have left the team with a lot of potential and no platform to showcase it for now.

Kronten revealed his plans of relocation on one of his streams. According to him, the BGMI team will shift back to PUBG Mobile in case they decide to move to Dubai in the future.

This certainly has some added advantages such as having a better ecosystem to perform into and exposure into global tournaments via a coordinated structure but it would be a big loss to Indian esports ecosystem to let go of one of their legendary mobile esports organizations of all time.

GodLike has already made a next move in PUBG Mobile esports by preparing a Mongolian roster in partnership with Stalwart Esports. This roster goes by the name of GodLike Stalwart and if they decide to move to Dubai, this will be their yet another international move.

Dota 2 TI11 Tickets Sold Out in Minutes, Scalpers Resale for Over 3X Price

0

Valve’s annual DOTA 2 tournament ‘The International’ is the biggest esports event in the world. Featuring gigantic prize pools and some intense DOTA gameplay, the tournament sees millions of avid esports enthusiasts from throughout the world tune into the streams to catch all the action live.

As the popularity of TI reaches new peaks, DOTA fans who look to attend the event in person are facing a tougher time while trying to get their hands on the tickets for the largest DOTA 2 tournament.

The International 11 Ticket

In under 30 minutes since tickets for The International 2022 were put up for sale on Ticketmaster Singapore’s website, every single ticket was sold out. The ticket sale went live at 10:00 AM SGT, with tickets for the Playoffs stage being sold for $88 SGD per day, and those for the finals at $498 SGD.

The tickets for the TI11 playoffs were sold out in only ten minutes, while the ones for the group stages were up for about another twenty minutes before being sold out entirely.

It wasn’t long until tickets for the event started surfacing on consumer marketplaces like Carousell, where the scalpers started reselling them for over thrice the original price.

Dota 2 New Hero: This Dragon’s Blood Character Can Be The New Dota 2 Hero

After the release of DOTA: Dragon’s Blood Book 3, the series is likely to come to an end. However, the book may have introduced a new character who has the potential to become the next new hero in Dota 2.

It has been made quite plain by Valve that the company will not conjure up the energy to continue promoting the animated series that is based on one of its most successful games. Even a tweet regarding the issue was beyond the capabilities of Valve. Dota 2’s latest hero, Marci, was inspired by the anime.

Marci was one of the many original characters from the Defense of the Ancients: Dragon’s Blood series who was considered for inclusion in the game at one point. Marci has a canonical reason for being in the game while Fymryn and Kaden aren’t. This also leaves the door open for a new Dota 2 hero to become available if they decide to check out the game.

It’s possible that Filomena will become the next Dota 2 hero.

It’s possible that individuals who haven’t caught up on the latest season of DOTA: Dragon’s Blood will find this information to be puzzling. However, there is a strong possibility that Filomena, daughter of Invoker, maybe the next new Dota 2 hero will be added to the game.

What are the key characteristics that differentiate a hero from a creep? This hadn’t really been investigated or spoken about at all prior to the episode, but it actually puts out a clear explanation as to what the difference is and why it matters. It is particularly a question of how the Ancients had an effect on contemporary people.

Dragons become sentient when they touch an Ancient in DOTA: Dragon’s Blood Book 2. Book 3 includes an update that states that other species do not have quite as much good luck. When a creature of any type comes into contact with an Ancient, they almost always end up turning into a zombie as a result of the encounter.

This is true for both the Radiant and the Dire Ancients; slugs, bunnies, and people all become part of a hivemind that automatically assaults and consumes anything that isn’t a part of that hivemind. This hivemind also consumes everything that isn’t a part of that hivemind.

It is possible to draw the conclusion that this is typical behavior for creeps. The heroes Phantom Lancer, Windranger, Tiny, and Axe are immune to this. Since Filomena is unaffected by the discovery of a fragment of the Radiant Ancient, it is possible that she could become a Dota 2 hero herself.

In addition to this, it is apparent that Filomena possesses some abilities of her own. She can summon Quas, Wex, and Exort orbs and has a plush animal pet. Filomena has the potential to be the next hero added to Dota 2, but she would also work well as a hero persona or arcana skin for Invoker if Valve chooses to go in that way instead.

After a certain point in DOTA: Dragon’s Blood Book 3, a teenage version of Filomena essentially takes over as the primary focus of the narrative. As part of her adventure, she creates an intriguing new piece of canon for Dota 2 to incorporate.

BGMI ban mentioned in Krafton quarterly meet

Krafton has been involved with the Indian government on solving a critical matter of unbanning PUBG Mobile in the country. In a recent quarterly earnings call, Bae Dong-Geun, the CFO of the Krafton said that it understands the concerns of Indian government and is fully cooperating with authorities to bring the game back.

BGMI was recently banned in India on the account of being a threat to user privacy and its links with China. Following this action, the game vanished from all the official fronts and only remained on the phones of users who have not deleted it yet.

Krafton had said that they would be meeting with the concerned authorities to solve this issue and soon afterwards, they were given a time frame of fourteen days to provide evidence that shrugs off the provided allegations.

According to the AFKGaming, Krafton has discussed this issue in one of their quarterly meetings. The statement provided by the CFO of the company is as follows:

We fully respect and understand the Indian government’s concern and as we have been directly running the service based on stringent data security standards and monitoring. We will closely cooperate with the authorities to find ways for the users in India to keep enjoying BGMI.

– Bae Dong-Geun, CFO, Krafton

BGMI is banned in the country and some consider that this ban is of a temporary nature so there is a hope for all BGMI fans that the game might return back in India.

Krafton has now officially confirmed that they are working with the government and have provided “stringent data security standards and monitoring” services to their product.

Krafton Addresses India’s BGMI Ban During Company’s Quarterly Earnings Meeting

After BGMI was banned by the GOI on July 28th citing the compliance failure under section 69A of the IT act, Krafton the developer and publisher of the game never made an official statement regarding the actual reason behind the ban and what the company plans to do in future to restore the game services.

Many reports have since surfaced online that suggested Krafton had a high-level meeting with government officials regarding the ban. 

Since then the Indian gaming community has eagerly waited for any positive news regarding their favorite game that was banned overnight. 

Recently Krafton held its Quarterly Earnings call in Singapore where the CEO, Bae Dong-Geun addressed the ban issue and said that Krafton fully respects and understands the concerns of the Indian government and the company will fully co-operate with the Indian government to unban BGMI as soon as possible. 

Krafton’s CFO Bae Dong-Geun while discussing the BGMI ban said:

“We fully respect and understand the Indian government’s concern and as we have been directly running the service based on stringent data security standards and monitoring. We will closely cooperate with the authorities to find ways for the users in India to keep enjoying BGMI.”

While many players in the community are optimistic that the GOI will soon unban BGMI, some professional teams, and players doubt that will be the case. Abhijeet “Ghatak” Harishchandra, coach at Godlike Esports had recently criticized Krafton for some of the factors like wrong investments, Chinese influence, etc that led to the BGMI ban in the country. He said that the chances of BGMI coming back soon are very low. 

In a letter signed by founders of Outlier Games, Story Pix, Lucid Labs, Roach Interactive, Godspeed Games, Uniplay Digital, and several other gaming firms from India had requested PM Modi to offer uniform and fair treatment to entities operating in India and explained the impact of BGMI ban and its adversity.

Gaming firms described the BGMI ban as an unfortunate event and said, “arbitrary decisions run counter to established principles and will deny opportunities to an entire generation of youth in India.”

Since the ban, several high-profile tournaments that were lined up have been postponed indefinitely and this has led to significant loss to many people involved in Esports in India. Those still involved in Esports may completely exit the scene in India which will lead to winter in gaming investments and the whole industry might never recover from this setback.
