Varun Batra: Will next Valorant agent be an Indian

Varun Batra: Will next Valorant agent be an Indian

Riot Games may have been dropping hints about the upcoming addition of a new Indian agent for Valorant in the Range during the Valorant PBE 5.03 test.

The game’s creators have ensured that it features a diverse cast of Valorant agents, each of which represents a different cultural background and helps to promote diversity in the workplace.

The first-person shooter multiplayer game that features five-on-five matchups has gained widespread popularity and critical acclaim throughout the world. It goes without saying that it has won over a number of followers in India as well.

Varun Batra Valorant

On July 29, 2022, the new version 5.03 of the PBE was made available. Almost immediately after that, a Valorant Dataminer by the name of Floaxy posted a tantalizing screenshot of an email from Fade. The warning was about the Range in the PBE 5.03 software.

The email serves as an in-game interactive object that expands upon the lore of the game and provides a preview of the stuff that will be released in the near future. In a similar vein, it appears that this email is dropping hints about a new agent with Indian ancestry named Varun Batra.

Varun Batra, the “Legion’s new power source,” is mentioned in an email from Fade and could enter the game as a new agent. Legion is a public operation that originates from Omega Earth, and Fade has gathered some information about their newest recruit. It was disclosed by the Turkish initiator that Varun had previously worked for REALM.

In the email, Fade described REALM as “a international task force retrieving historical artifacts from the black market trade.” REALM also includes members from other countries. However, she has some reservations about Legion employing a specialist in antiques, and she expresses these reservations in her email.

This may provide a clue about the next Omega Earth agent to appear.

The addition of a new agent who makes references to Indian Vedic mythology will make it easier for Indian fans to connect with the game, which will result in the game’s playerbase growing even larger. On the other hand, it will be fascinating to observe how the designers at Riot Games will infuse the character’s design with authenticity.

In the past, Riot has recruited a number of players from Asia, including players such as Jett, Sage, Yoru, and Neon. Following in the footsteps of that ruling, the advent of the Indian agent will mark the addition of the fifth Asian to the cast of characters.

Regarding the new employee, no other information has been provided up until this point. If the rumors turn out to be genuine, then the Indian agent might make their entrance into the game very soon.

Having said that, as we get closer to the end of Act 1, we will find out more specifics about the situation.

As soon as patch 5.03 is made available to players, they will be able to access The Range as well as the email regarding the Indian Valorant agent. In the meantime, they can take pleasure in leveling up their battlepass in Act 1 of Episode 5.

Amouranth and BrookeAB shares experience with stalkers

Amouranth and BrookeAB are two extremely well known Twitch streamers, the former being just shy of the mark for the most followed female Twitch streamer and the later being a prominent content creator/gamer for one of the biggest esports organizations, namely 100 Thieves.

Both streamers boast massive fan following which may look great on paper but comes with its fair share of troubles as both of them had to face the serious problem that has been plaguing not just Twitch but IRL as well. Stalkers!, Amouranth and BrookeAB came across stalkers that made their lives miserable. The pair shared their terrible experiences and how they dealt with them.

“In live streams, they see into your home, into your bedroom, and it feels very personal with them,” “I think that is what contributes to a lot of the stalking: They feel like they know you.” says Amouranth.

BrookeAB also explained that she once faced a stalker that threated to light her house on fire which rattled her to the point that she had to cancel her Coachella trip just to be safe.

These incidents are a fraction of a fraction of what women on Twitch as well as IRL are facing on a daily basis. Several streamers have reported getting doxed and later stalked to the point that makes their life miserable, despite their best attempts to keep their personal details kept away from the world.

We urge everyone to speak up when any such activity happen in your sight as it may stop something more dangerous right in its track.

Optic Gaming Valorant’s future in troubled waters

Optic Gaming Valorant’s future in troubled waters

Optic Gaming Valorant is North America’s top team in Valorant And is one of the favorites going into any tournament in the last year. Optic Gaming is strong to the core, be it Marved’s insane controller plays, Yay’s Chamber dominance, FNS’s calling, Crashies clutches, or Victor’s entry. Optic Gaming has been looking like a top 3 team in the world. 

The team started as Team Envy, who signed “Together we are terrific.” with aKis, c4Lypso, FNS, mummAy, and kaboose. The team was a constant contender in North America but played second fiddle to most teams, never attaining the success they deserved. 

Soon after, Victor, aka food and crashies, joined the roster, and the team started to gain momentum, winning the first VCT NA Challengers but coming in fourth place at VCT NA Masters. The team seemed to be doing well but never really won much. 

With Yay and Marved joining in August of 2021, Team Envy looked strong, and with the new roster, they managed to upset Sentinels at VCT Masters 2 Berlin to place second in the tournament. This was their top finish in 2021. 

Now 2021 came around, and soon after, Team Envy rebranded to Optic Gaming, and with the new name, the team looked unstoppable. They felt unbeatable. With El Diablo on Chamber, the new Optic Gaming looked like they could beat them all. 

Even though the second place finishes at Stage 1 VCT NA Challengers, With the first Masters starting, Optic Gaming lost the first match but returned to qualify for Playoffs. The Playoff Optic Gaming was different. 

They beat the Guard, DRX, Zeta Division, and LOUD to lift the Reykjavik trophy.

The fate repeated at Valorant Masters Copenhagen, but this time, Optic Gaming fell to the eventual Champions FPX in a close-fought series to place 3rd in the tournament. 

But a solid first place at Reykjavik and the two second-place finishes at VCT NA Challengers made Optic Gaming the first team to qualify for Valorant Champions 2022. With their strong performance and synergy, they are sure-shot contenders to become the best team in the world. 

The hurdle comes to post that with Victor Wong and Austin “Crashies” Robert’s contract expiring mid-September, it seems the team would need to renew the contract of these players before the Americas 2023 league if they wish to continue playing with the same squad. 

The team has confirmed their wish to continue with the same players, but in case of Optic Gaming is not the team selected for the Americas League 2021, the player’s future will be endangered. This is a dicey spot to be in, and the news about selection would come before the Valorant Champions; we hope it all works out well.

Valorant: Astral Clash suspends Team Fallacy due to account sharing investigation

In response to accusations of account sharing during tournament play made against Team Fallacy and one of their players, the Astral Clash competition’s administrators today rendered a decision regarding Team Fallacy’s competitive status.

A few days after the accusations against Team Fallacy were made, the organizer of the all-female VALORANT tournament, Gen.G, posted a competitive ruling in which they shared that Riot was investigating the account sharing accusations and that Team Fallacy would be suspended from competing in the Astral Clash tournament while that investigation took place.

Astral Clash suspends Team Fallacy

Gen.G also shared that Team Fallacy would be allowed to participate in the tournament after Riot completed its investigation.

MarsArxa, a member of Team Fallacy, was accused of allowing her boyfriend, former TSM Academy player Nate “payen” Lopez, to play on her account throughout “the entirety” of the Astral Clash tournament. The initial accusation originated from a Google document in which MarsArxa was accused of allowing Nate “payen” Lopez to use her account. It is not apparent who was responsible for writing the document.

In particular, there was a film that supported the charges that were included in the document. In this clip, the accused player was in a one-on-five situation in a match versus Dignitas during the Last Chance Qualifier for Astral Clash 2022.

As stated, a “mediocre-at-best” response was given by the team after the player eliminated all five foes. The player who made the clutch did not provide a response to the opponent’s question.

“We don’t know what sort of individual says absolutely nothing after winning a 1v5 against a well-respected signed squad,” the doc said in the statement. “We don’t know what kind of person that is.”

Instead of Team Fallacy, Native Gaming White will be traveling to Los Angeles this weekend. After suffering a defeat at the hands of Team Fallacy in the tournament’s semi-finals, NGW was eliminated from contention. As a result of Team Fallacy’s disqualification, NGW has advanced from third to fourth place to second place, and they will now have the opportunity to compete in the main event.

Where to find Boogie Bombs in Fortnite and how to use them?

Boogie Bomb was first introduced in 2017 with the Fortnite Season 2 update. However, the No Sweat Summer event has brought it back again. Now you can get 15,000 XP just by completing a quest where you have to make the opponent dance with Boogie Bombs. For that, you need to know where to find out Boogie Bombs and how to use them to complete the quest. Keep reading this article till the end to discern.

Where to find Boogie Bombs?

There isn’t any specific spot to find out the Boogie Bombs. Even though you can find them anywhere in the chests, grounds, or supply drops spawned around the whole map, the Rave Cave is a hotspot to find Boogie Bombs.

How to use Boogie Bomb?

You just need to be a bit stealthy to complete the quest. First of all, you need to find out an area where fighting has already started between players. Maintain a safe distance and throw the Boogie Bomb on your enemy. Instantly, your opponents will start dancing and they can’t shoot or do anything else. It lasts for five seconds. However, the opponents won’t take any hit from the bomb.

To complete the quest, you need to make three opponents dance with Boogie Bombs.
