Complete Team List for PGL Antwerp Major 2022: All 24 Teams

PGL Antwerp Major Europe RMR Group B has ended, bringing an end to two weeks of qualifiers for the Major. 24 teams have been decided that’ll battle it out for a $1 million prize pool starting 9th May with the New Challengers Stage in Antwerp.

8 Teams will skip the first stage as they directly qualified for the Legends stage from the RMRs as the remaining 16 will battle it out for 8 more spots in the New Legends Stage.

The ordeal started with the Americas RMR starting off first, which included the North American and South American Region and had 6 spots up for grabs . This was followed by the Asia Pacific RMR, which had 2 contender spots on the line.

The best of the lot, the European RMR was saved for last as there were 16 European spots to play for. The European RMR was divided into Group A and B with 8 teams qualifying for the Major from each group.

The Americas RMR was filled with amazing storylines, as well as heartbreak for teams. The best of the lot would be a first Major for an Argentinian team in the form of 9z, who beat paiN Gaming to qualify for PGL Antwerp.

Fallen’s Last Dance – Imperial, a team which was criticized heavily for relying on the old guard of fallen, fer and fnx qualified for the Major as well, over teams like Evil Geniuses and 00Nation. EG missed out on the Major, after rebuilding their roster for 2022 as they lost to paiN, Liquid and 9z.

The Asia Pacific RMR, saw a Mongolian team – IHC Gaming qualify for the Major. This would be the first representation of a 5 man Mongolian squad at a CSGO Major. The second spot was taken over by Renegades, after beating Tyloo in an epic comeback.

The European RMR had quite a few upsets, with teams like MOUZ, OG and fnatic missing out on a spot. OG miss their 2nd straight while fnatic miss their 3rd straight major. Turkish superteam, Eternal Fire managed to qualify to become the first Turkish team since Faceit London 2018 to play at a Major.

 In the second group, things went slightly more the way they were expected, even though there were upsets in the form of G2 losing to Anonymo. The international roster did eventually qualify, winning all their games from there on out.

Cloud9 will be returning to CSGO with the signing of the ex-Gambit roster, and make their appearance at their first CSGO Major since IEM Katowice 2019. They qualified as Legends from group B, meaning they will skip the first stage of the Major.

Valorant Episode 4 Act 3: All meme references made in the new Battlepass

Memes and Gaming are undoubtedly perfect for each other when their culture is inherited to procreate a different line of content within the game and outside. So have Riot Games came up with this amazing artwork, up for grabs in the brand new battlepass for their Episode 4 Act 3.

We can see a variety of memes in the form of Sprays, made available by Riot which are to be featured in the upcoming Episode 4 Act 3 Battlepass.

Sprays are among the other cosmetic items which can be used in-game after every 5 seconds and so have the developers customized the same with some humorous content surrounding some popular references which have been taken into account.

Below is the list of every meme reference you would come across in Valorant’s Episode 4 Act 3 Battlepass.

1. Stinger Time (Two bee or Not two bee)

We may all be familiar with the classic Bee puns, which Riot Games have seemed to perfectly bend in their own way of depicting humor in the form of content for their Battle Pass Sprays.

2. Terrible day for rain. (A Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood tribute)

Riot Games have indeed paid tribute to one of the most famous Anime titles, Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood where a scene of Roy Mustang says “It is raining” while crying in daylight and have been picked up as a classic meme material by Riot for their Cypher spray.

According to Cypher’s lore in Valorant, the agent has been through immense sorrow following his family’s ill-fated death in the game.

3. Bawk Bawk Brimstone

The most popular chicken act done by Spongebob Squarepants on Nickelodeon to mock people has been picked up as the perfect meme example for their agent Brimstone by Riot Games.

4.  I have 3 Creds

Yet another reference from Spongebob Squarepants has been picked up by Riot Games where Patrick holds 3 notes for their agent Phoenix who in the same fashion suggests that he only got 3 credits and not more. 

Valorant Episode 4 Act 3 Sova Nerfs Explained

As the release date of Valorant Episode 4 Act 3 draws near, more details about the massive upcoming update continue to get leaked on the internet.

One of the changes that has got many Valorant players upset is the massive nerf to Sova that’s set to be introduced alongside patch 4.08.

If you’re looking to know more about this upcoming Sova nerf, and how it can potentially redefine Sova’s place in the competitive meta, we have you covered.

Here’s everything you need to know about the Sova nerf in Valorant Episode 4 Act 3.

Valorant Episode 4 Act 3 Nerfs Sova’s Shockdart & Drone

While many players are looking forward to the release of Fade as Valorant’s newest Initiator, Sova fans are quite worried about the Agent’s future in the meta.

Valorant 4.08 will bring massive nerfs to Sova’s Shockwave and Drone that might make Fade the better option as any team’s primary Initiator.

From what has been revealed so far, Sova’s Shockwave damage will be reduced from a maximum of 90 to 75, which means that unless a player manages to land both Shockdarts at the exact location of an enemy, it will no longer be enough to kill them. 

It goes without saying that this will heavily reduce Sova’s impact at all stages of the game since the dual Shockdarts will almost never be enough to kill armored opponents unless they’re already damaged.

The duration of flight for Sova’s Drone has also been reduced from 10 seconds to 8 seconds. Additionally, targets that the Drone manages to mark will only tick two times instead of three, which is quite a significant nerf to say the least.

Furthermore, Sova players may also need to change their current lineups for Shock Darts since the Agent will also undergo a viewmodel change when equipping the ability. From patch 4.08, Sova’s left arm will be covering the bottom-left part of the player’s HUD when he equips his Shock Darts, making some existing lineups that rely on lining up the HUD with certain textures impossible to make. Sova mains aren’t very happy about this change, and many players have been vocal about this change being unnecessary.

It’d be interesting to see how the professional players manage to adapt to the nerfed Sova, or whether they’ll shift towards the new Agent Fade. It’s safe to say that the latter will be dominating the pubs for the next few weeks unless the nerfs are reverted by the devs.

Valorant Agent Fade – Abilities and release date

With Valorant Episode 4 Act 3 being just around the corner, fans of the competitive shooter throughout the world are growing excited to know more about the new Agent – ‘Fade’. The developers have already revealed that Fade is set to be “a competitor to Sova” that can potentially outshine him in some aspects.

If you’re looking to know the release date and time of the new Agent Fade, we have you covered. Here’s everything you need to know about the release of the upcoming Valorant initiator.

Valorant Fade Abilities

Here are all the abilities of the new Valorant Agent Fade:

  • Haunt (E) : EQUIP a nightmarish entity. FIRE to throw the orb which will plummet to the ground after a set amount of time. Upon hitting the ground, the orb will turn into a nightmarish entity that will reveal the location of enemies caught in its line of sight. Enemies can destroy this entity. RE-USE the ability to drop the projectile early in-flight.
  • Seize (Q) : QUIP an orb of nightmare ink. FIRE to throw the orb which will plummet to the ground after a set amount of time. Upon hitting the ground, the ink will explode and create a zone in which enemies who are caught in it cannot escape the zone by normal means. RE-USE the ability to drop the projectile early in-flight.
  • Prowler (C) : EQUIP a Prowler. FIRE will send the Prowler out, causing it to travel in a straight line. The Prowler will lock onto any enemies or trails in their frontal vision cone and chase them, nearsighting them if it reaches them. HOLD the FIRE button to steer the Prowler in the direction of your crosshair.
  • Nightfall (X) : EQUIP the power of Fear. FIRE to send out a wave of nightmare energy that can traverse through walls. The energy creates a trail to the opponent as well as deafens and decays them.

Valorant Fade Release Date: When Does Fade Go Live?

Fade is set to be released alongside the Valorant Episode 4 Act 3 update. As confirmed by the Riot developers, the update will hit the live servers on April 27, 2022.

The exact release time will vary across regions. There’s likely to be a few hours of downtime between the conclusion of Episode 4 Act 2 and the start of the third Act, so players may find themselves unable to log into the game for the maintenance duration.

Fade will be an initiator in Valorant who’ll be able to scout out opponents, mark them with trails, and hunt them down with her Prowlers.

“Fade brings recon to a personal level, more potent in a localized area (doesn’t have mapwide potential like Sova),” Valorant dev Nicholas Smith said. “We wanted to keep the player close to the action and always in-body.”

Valorant Battleprice Price (Episode 4 Act 3)

Only a few days remain before the Valorant Episode 4 Act 3 update hits the live servers. The major patch is set to bring a plethora of new content to the competitive shooter including the new Agent ‘Fade’, the second set of RGX 11z Pro skins, and a fresh Battle Pass for the players to grind.
