Team Secret and Alter Ego’s Victories in VCT APAC Demolish Global Esports and India’s LCQ Dream

Global Esports has been the Indian Representative in the APAC Region three times with their latest Stint Ending in Failure. Though they have been a consistent force in South Asia and India, they have had a rough time closing the matches in the APAC region tournaments. 

After winning the Valorant Conquerors Championship over Velocity Gaming, their eternal rivals, Global Esports, became the first team to represent India in the Valorant Official Tournament. The tournament started well for Global Esports, where they defeated Korean Damwon Gaming 2-1. 

While facing Paper Rex, They faltered, lost to them 0-2 and were pushed into the lower bracket. In the lower bracket, they faced F4Q, who were fresh off their Masters Berlin chronicles, and despite the strong performance, lost to F4Q 1-2 with the last map ending on 12-14.

For Masters Reykjavik Qualification, along with Velocity Gaming, Global Esports represented India in APAC Challengers. Being the second seed, they had to play in the Play-In stage, were lost to Griffin Esports, and Fancy United concluded their tournament run.

For the current VCT APAC Challengers, they qualified by winning the Skyesports Championship Series by beating Enigma Gaming. But in the Group Stage, they fell to Indonesian Alter Ego in their opening game and, despite a strong performance, lost to Filipino Rex Regum Qeon, ending their tournament run.  

As for LCQ, Global Esports were in the 10th position, But the Filipino Team Secret’s wins in the group stage and the playoffs pushed them to the 11th position. 

Team Secret is a Filipino team and has been one of the best teams in APAC. The Roster was the APAC representative in Masters Berlin and Valorant Champions 2021. But after an early tournament exit from stage 1 Challengers, Team Secret failed to gather many points and was 

short of a few points to qualify. 

The came in the VCT APAC Challengers as the top seed and managed to pull off a great lower bracket run in the group stage after losing to Bleed to qualify for the Playoffs. In the playoffs, after winning against Xerxia and Onic G are one win short of Qualifying for VCT Masters Copenhagen. 

Alter Ego defeated Global Esports and RRQ to qualify for the playoffs. After losing to Paper Rex, they defeated Griffin Esports, gaining enough points to become the 9th and final team to qualify for the VCT LCQ over Global Esports. 

Alter Ego would face Onic G tomorrow in the Lower Round 2 for a shot at Lower Bracket Semifinals and would try to win. Team Secret faces Paper Rex tomorrow for the VCT Masters Copenhagen slot.

As for the future of Global Esports, they have already applied for Valorant Franchising and would play the next tournament in India at Skyesports Souvenier Series Hyderabad. 

The VCT APAC Challengers would conclude on the 26th, where we would get the two APAC representatives for VCT Masters Copenhagen.

Genshin Impact Yelan: Abilities, Elemental Skill, Weapon, and More

The Genshin Impact 2.7 patch has brought with it a plethora of new content to the open-world action RPG by miHoYo. However, what players of the title were looking forward to the most was perhaps the new Genshin Impact character Yelan. She’s one of the strongest ranged characters in the game and can certainly pack a punch when it comes to combat.

Yelan is a 5-star character in Genshin Impact and uses a bow to take down her enemies in battle. She had been teased several times prior to her arrival in the game.

Genshin Impact Yelan Attacks

Yelan’s bow is capable of dealing significant amounts of damage to her foes from afar. Here are Yelan’s attacks in Genshin Impact:

  • Normal Attack: Yelan performs up to four consecutive shots with her bow.
  • Charged Attack: Yelan performs a precise Aimed Shot that has increased DMG. While aiming, flowing water will accumulate on the arrowhead. A fully charged torrential arrow will deal Hydro DMG.
  • Breakthrough: Yelan will enter a “Breakthrough’ state after spending 5s out of combat, which will cause her next Charged Aimed Shot to have 80% decreased charge time, and once charged, she can fire a “Breakthrough Barb” that will deal AoE Hydro DMG based on Yelan’s Max HP.
  • Plunging Attack: Yelan fires off a shower of arrows in mid-air before falling and striking the ground, dealing AoE DMG upon impact.

Genshin Impact Yelan Elemental Skill

  • Lingering Lifeline: Yelan fires off a Lifeline that allows her to move rapidly, entangling and marking opponents along its path. When this rapid movement ends, the Lifeline will explode, dealing Hydro DMG to the marked opponents based on Yelan’s Max HP.
  • Depth-Clarion Dice: Yelan deals AoE Hydro DMG and creates an “Exquisite Throw,” which aids her in battle.
  • Exquisite Throw: Follows the character around and will initiate a coordinated attack under the following circumstances, dealing Hydro DMG based on Yelan’s Max HP:

[ Can occur once every second when your active character uses a Normal Attack. ]

[ Will occur each time Yelan’s Lifeline explodes and hits opponents. ]

Axie Infinity Origin: How To Play

Axie Infinity Origin: How To Play

The rise of Cryptocurrency has given birth to a number of applications that are based on blockchain technology. One such application of blockchain technology is Blockchain Gaming. 

Blockchain Gaming is generally based on two principles i.e. NFTs and P2E. In simple words, Blockchain Games generate income for its players via NFTs which can then be traded via the in-game network for a special token that can be traded publicly on crypto-exchanges for real-world currency. 

Sky Mavis, the company behind the most popular blockchain game Axis Infinity was the first to master the art of Blockchain Gaming and has since grown its audience by hundreds of thousands.

The game peaked with 2.7 Million daily active users back in July 2021. Now the company writes a new page on its journey with the evolution of its 1st gen game Axie Infinity to Axie Infinity Origins. 

Origins is built upon the success of Axie Infinity and retain most of its features while adding new features on top of old ones. Origin has new interfaces, battle mechanics, art, special effects, and storylines, plus a refreshed onboarding experience so you can easily recruit your family and friends.

Similar to its predecessor, Origins is based on the Ethereum blockchain with a system for players to control their virtual assets and rewards via the Ronin sidechain, which helps reduce transaction costs and latency.

The focus remains the same i.e. bred Axies to create potentially rarer and more powerful Axies which can then be sold on the in-game market for real-world currency.

Aside from breeding new Axies, players can also battle against computers or other players to earn Smooth Love Potions (SLP) and in higher-level tournaments, earn Axie Infinity Shards (AXS). These digital tokens can be traded for cryptocurrency which in turn can be converted into fiat currency via Ronin Wallet.

There are two game modes available for players in Axie Infinity:

Adventure Mode

The adventure mode is Player Versus Environment (PVE). Players must battle monsters on each of the 36 stages in PVE. Smooth Love Potion (SLP)  and experience will be given to them at each step, which in turn can be used to level-up Axies. 

Arena Mode

The arena mode is Player Versus Player (PVP). Similar to other multiplayer versus games, in arena mode, you fight against another player who is mostly of similar rank as you or just a bit above or below in ranking. 

On victory, you get SLP or in some cases, such as tournaments you earn Axie Infinity Shards (AXS).

Aside from the above two modes, you get a daily quest every day that may reward you with 50 SLP as a bonus. This free SLP may be obtained by winning 5 times in PVP and 10 times in PVE. Players may earn a maximum of 100 SLP every day in PVE for a total of 150 SLP every day. 

How to get started with Axie Infinity Origins?

Follow the steps below to get started with Axie Infinity:

1. Get an Ethereum Wallet

2. Create a Ronin Wallet

3. Create an Account on Axie Infinity here

4. Connect Your Email Account or Ronin Wallet

5. Download and create a Metamask account

6. Connect your Metamask account with your Axie Infinity account at the marketplace

7. Purchase Axies if you want or just skip this step

8. Install the game and start your adventure

In Origins you start with three base Axies that are not NFT enabled. These are called personal Axies and can’t be traded or bred. You can replace them anytime in your journey with a new Axie purchased from the marketplace.

Free Fire announces collaboration with Pop Star Anitta; new character to arrive

Garena Free Fire has announced a global collaboration with the Brazilian pop star Anitta that will be dropped in to the game very soon. This collaboration is expected to be very similar to the collaborations seen with other artists and an in-game character based on Anitta will be launched on 2nd July.

Anitta is a Brazilian pop star with a huge fan following in Brazil and a respected status around the world. This new collaboration is set to bring a personalized touch of this pop star to the game as each and every minute detail is being designed after her approval.

Garena has already collaborated with big artists and launched their official music in their own realm. A similar theme is also seen with Anitta as her music video will be launched on 29th June, along with sneak peeks of her in-game character.

The character based on Anitta is assumed to be named as a Patroa and this character has been designed by Anitta herself and her own designers. This means that the entire character design is given a personalized touch by Anitta.

This in-game character, Patroa, has no real special ability of her own but there is an option to use the special active/passive ability of any other character while using Anitta’s character. There are chances that the abilities of other characters can only be used if you have unlocked them.

The new character along with a huge in-game event will arrive in Free Fire by the start of July so get ready to save your diamonds and time to unlock the new character.

List of teams that have applied for North American VCT partnership in 2023

Just like how Riot’s League of Legends has been structured, a similar esports model will soon be deployed in Valorant’s competitive circuit which will introduce the International Leagues just as they do in their MOBA title, the LCS and LEC events.

As reported by DotEsports, the Americas League will feature 10 teams from across the continent including North America, Brazil, and Latin America. This article tells us about the list of teams who have publicly registered for the franchising policy with Riot while there are others as well who have filed their application, made private.

The major difference between LoL and Valorant would be, teams won’t need to buy in a franchise slot to compete while in the former, teams would have to invest in millions to hook themselves a slot at the same.

Earlier today over 200 teams had shown interest in partnering up with Riot although only 150 could make it as the rest others were unable to present the required paperwork in the time slot.

Valorant Partnership Teams NA:
