New Valorant Doodle Buds Skin Bundle Leaked

We’re only a few hours away from the release of the Valorant 4.07 update, and it’s set to bring a bunch of new changes to the title.

These upcoming changes include changes to the Bulldog and Stinger, new LATAM servers and improved AFK detection that fans can read all about in the patch notes.

However, it seems like fans may have something more to look forward to as images of a new skin bundle for Valorant has been leaked online.

The ‘Doodle Buds’ skin bundle will feature unique doodles of the Valorant Agents and various other characters on each skin that’s quite unlike any other bundle we’ve seen in the past.

The ‘Doodle Buds’ bundle was leaked by popular Valorant leaker ‘Valorleaks’, and fans can check out the images of the skins here.

Valorant Doodle Buds Skin Pack:

The ‘Doodle Buds’ bundle will feature skins for the following weapons alongside player cards and sprays:

  • Shorty
  • Stinger
  • Marshal
  • Ares
  • Phantom

The price of the ‘Doodle Buds’ bundle hasn’t been confirmed by the Valorant devs as of yet, but from the first glances, it doesn’t seem like the skins will feature unique finishers or other animations, so fans can expect the price of this bundle to be towards the lower side.

VALORANT Patch 4.07 notes: Read Full Inside

The patch notes for the upcoming Valorant 4.07 update has been revealed by Riot Games, and it introduces a bunch of new changes to the title including new servers, weapon changes, and a lot more.

The weapon updates that patch 4.07 is bringing to Valorant include changes to the Bulldog and Stinger, with both weapons now delaying firing inputs while bringing up the weapon to aim down sights (ADS).

This change should prevent players from getting burst-mode accuracy improvements from before they finish raising their weapon. Alongside this, Agent-based weapons like ultimates for Neon, Chamber and Raze can now be input-queued to equip after the current action.

Other than these changes, Valorant patch 4.07 also brings improvements to AFK detection, loading times in the VP store and a number of bug fixes.

The highly anticipated Valorant patch 4.07 is set to be released later today, and it will bring with it new LATAM servers which should help with latency in that region. The devs have also confirmed that the LATAM servers will go live “not long after” the release of the 4.07 patch.

Here are the VALORANT Patch 4.07 notes

Fans can check out the detailed patch notes of the 4.07 update below:

    • You can still begin firing immediately while switching back to full auto/hip fire mode.
  • Ability-based weapons* can now also be input-queued to equip after the current action
    • *This includes: Chamber guns and ultimates for Neon, Jett, and Raze

Store Updates

  • Load times for the VP purchase page should now load in a matter of seconds (previously, it would take more than thirty seconds in some instances)

Sinatraa Announces Return to Professional Valorant

Through a recent announcement, Valorant star Jay ‘sinatraa’ Won confirmed that he’s all set to return to competitive play.

This comes as a delightful surprise for sinatraa who were looking forward to see him play in the big stages since his suspension from Sentinels and Riot Games that was issued in March 2021, amid investigations of sexual abuse allegations put forward by his former girlfriend Cleo ‘cle0h’ Hernandez.

The suspension by Riot Games lasted six months, and the company stated that they weren’t able to find “a definitive conclusion”.

Since the end of his suspension on September 10, the 22-year-old has been regularly streaming for Sentinels. However, a recent Tweet by sinatraa caught the world by surprise as he announced his intentions to return to competitive Valorant. He further mentioned that he’d be starting tryouts as early as this week. 

“It’s been a year since I was forced to step back from competitive play. In that time, I have learned a lot about myself and grown as a person,” Won said in his Tweet. “I am now ready for a return to competitive play and will be starting tryouts this week.”

In a follow-up Tweet, sinatraa claimed that his first choice would be to return to Sentinels. 

The potential return of sinatraa to Sentinels can help the organization regain their composure after a disappointing VCT Stage 1 Challengers finish in the 7th-8th place.

The mobile version of Riot Games’ tactical shooter Valorant is perhaps one of the hottest topics of discussion among gamers throughout the world, and mobile gaming fans are eagerly looking forward to the release of the title.

While it has already been revealed that Valorant mobile is already in the works, some recent leaks further claim that the developers have already begun testing Valorant mobile in China, and the initial looks at the gameplay of the title also seems to have been leaked.

While no specific release date for Valorant mobile has been set in stone as of yet, it’s likely that the title will be launched later this year. Many fans are speculating the release date for Valorant mobile to be around June 2022, but it hasn’t been confirmed by Riot Games.

Valorant Mobile Expected System Requirements

Before the global launch of Valorant Mobile, players have to make sure that their devices meet the minimum system requirements for the game. The official system requirements of Valorant Mobile hasn’t been revealed by the developers, but we can get a pretty good idea about the minimum system requirements of the title by comparing it to some other mobile games that are similar in nature.

for Android

  • Soc: Snapdragon 675 and above/ Hisilicon Kirin 970 or better/ Mediatek Helio G90T / Exynos 8895 or better.

Valorant Mobile Expected Requirements for IOS

  • Soc: Apple A11 Bionic and above

Since the system requirements aren’t official, take them with a grain of salt since they’re likely to change at the time of release.

Apex Legends Player Count 2022: How Many People Are Playing Apex Legends?

Apex Legends is undoubtedly one of the most popular Battle Royales out there in 2022, and with the recent introduction of Season 12, the title is currently more popular than ever.

Since its initial release in February 2019, the Respawn Entertainment title has experienced a continual growth in popularity over the years, which prompted the company to create the heavily anticipated Apex Legends Mobile, which is scheduled for release in May 2022.

If you’re an avid Apex Legends fan, you might be wondering how many people are playing the game in 2022.

While there is no official player count that records the exact number of players active in Apex Legends, we can get an idea about the current player count of the game from third-party sources.

In April 2021, Respawn revealed that Apex Legends had crossed over 100 million registered players, a number which has only increased since then.

Apex Legends 2022 Player Count

According to the Player Counter website, Apex Legends is currently seeing over 1,110,000 online players enjoying the title as of 12th April, 2022.

This number is likely to increase further over the next few months due to the constant updates that the devs are bringing to the title. However, this number isn’t official and is only a rough estimate, so take it with a grain of salt.

s1mple Surpasses Magisk To Become 5th Highest Earning CSGO Pro

Ukrainian CSGO Pro and Natus Vincere’s star AWPer, Oleksandr ‘s1mple’ Kostyliev is undoubtedly one of the greatest players to ever touch the game, maybe even the best to ever do it.

His incredible skill and consistency took NaVi to new heights ever since he joined the prestigious org, and in 2021 a whole new chapter was written, one for the history books.

NaVi had their most successful year as an organisation as they won almost every S tier tournament in the second half the year and had a couple of #1 finishes at the start of the year as well. 

In their quest to become the best, NaVi also set new records as a team as they won the highest amount of prize money in a single calendar year in CSGO.

NaVi earned $4,275,500 in 2021, surpassing Danish side Astralis who earned $3,600,000 in 2018. NaVi earned $1 million from the PGL Stockholm Major, and another 1 million USD by winning the Intel Grand Slam

In the process, s1mple leapfrogged many legendary players to become one of the highest earners in CSGO, from match winnings alone, as per esportsearnings.com.

And now, with NaVi’s quarter final exit at ESL Pro League Season 15, s1mple surpassed Emi ‘Magisk’ Reif to become the 5th highest earning CSGO Pro. interestinlgy due to the year NaVi had, 18 year old rifler Valery ‘B1T’ Vakhovskyi surpassed legends like Zeus and f0rest in terms of prize money earned.

The top 5, until now was composed of the Danish quintet of Peter “dupreeh” Rasmussen, Andreas “Xyp9x” Højsleth, Nicolai “dev1ce” Reedtz, Lukas “gla1ve” Rossander and Emil “Magisk” Reif. Their 4 major wins (3 for Magisk) had a big role to play in their winnings as CSGO Majors are always the most prestigious events.

s1mple’s addition has now changed things up, displacing Magisk as the 5th and becoming the only non-Danish player in the top 5. As things stand, the top 10 highest earning CSGO Pros are:

CSGO Pro Earnings:

  1. Peter “dupreeh” Rasmussen – $1,950,081.07 USD
  2. Andreas “Xyp9x” Højsleth – $1,938,480.23 USD
  3. Nicolai “dev1ce” Reedtz – $1,921,931.54 USD
  4. Lukas “gla1ve” Rossander – $1,790,642.41 USD
  5. Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev – $1,544,821.98 USD
  6. Emil “Magisk” Reif – $1,543,540.30 USD
  7. Denis “electronic” Sharipov – $1,398,558.66 USD
  8. Jakey “Stewie2k” Yip – $1,186,173.20 USD
  9. Gabriel “FalleN” Toledo – $1,138,636.54 USD
  10. Finn “karrigan” Andersen – $1,119,302.06 USD

BGMI content creator Paras Official brutally assaulted after voicing opinion against carding popularity

BGMI content creator Paras Official brutally assaulted after voicing opinion against carding popularity

Paras Official, a well known content creator from BGMI community, was recently beaten after he raised the topic of using illegitimate ways to gain popularity rating in Battlegrounds Mobile India. According to a short video released online, he was assaulted by 7 to 8 men that entered his residence and thrashed him with rods and other objects.

Paras Official has recently reached 800,000 subscriber count on YouTube and recently, he had voiced his opinions against the use of carding to gain popularity rating in BGMI. The popularity rating has its own ranking system where players that have the highest popularity can have a higher rank.

Popularity rating can be gained by getting gifts from other accounts and according to Paras, players were using an illegal method called carding to gift themselves a large sum of popularity rating via available gifting options.

After this video was released, he faced some backlash from one of the highly ranking players called “Daku” and they had a banter.

Apparently, this banter turned into violence as Paras was thrashed in his own house by 7 to 8 men. He named “Daku” as one of the perpetrators but the alleged culprit has shrugged off these allegations saying that he would never opt for violence over a trivial matter such as popularity rating.

Paras described the incident as a horrific one and the video shows his injuries with a broken nose and fractured hand. He said that some men visited his residence early in the morning and called out his name. His mother opened the door thinking that they were some of his friends but the mob pushed away his mother and went to his room.

They began beating Paras with some objects such as sticks and one of them was recording the whole incident. Paras had asked the reason for their action multiple times but was left unanswered until the end of this horrific incident.

Indian esports and gaming community is growing right now and has an audience of millions. If violence is used as a method to settle the differences or to mute the protesting voices, it will impact the audience in a severely negative way.

How To Recreate CSGO Olofboost on Overpass in 2022

How To Recreate CSGO Olofboost on Overpass in 2022

The infamous olofboost is synonymous with the map Overpass in CSGO even after 8 years of the first instance of the boost. The three man boost, dubbed olofboost by the community as it was fnatic’s Olofmeister that made use of it first during a game versus LDLC in 2014 at the DreamHack Winter CSGO Major.

Since then the boost was banned, never to be seen again. But the CSGO community is creative enough and there is no shortage of new boosts and tricks to gain an advantage.

One such trick that has been discovered is a three man tower, similar to the Olof boost. Much like the original olofboost, this three man tower lets you spot players on the B site, from close to the A site next to bathrooms.

This boost was first posted to Reddit by user oxylight. Oxylight used this boost in a faceit level 5 game, to pick players off on the B site, from the A site with the help of this boost. This move requires three players to be present to create the boost, and once completed only 2 of them need to be present.

Overcheat Triple Boost on Overpass (faceit level 5)
by u/OxyL1ght in GlobalOffensive

HOW TO RECREATE OLOFBOOST ON OVERPASS?

To create this three man boost, the three players need to be present near the A site, on the platform commonly known as ‘headshot’ between the A site and divider on bathrooms.

The first player boosts the second one in the corner of the bushes, where the player gets stuck on the pixel. Then the first player jumps on the third player’s head and lands on the player boosted on the pixel. 

This lets the sniper see all the way into the B site, the entrance and exit to Monster, sandbags on B short and bridge and a part of the site around the pillar as well.

It is vital that the player that is boosted finally atop the tower has an AWP as there is an invisible wall present there and a single awp bullet to the body won’t kill the player, as seen in the clip. It is even more difficult to kill the players with a Scout or an Auto sniper

An important thing to note is that this boost requires pixel walking. Pixel walking is not a feature the developers intended the game to have, and hence this is banned in official matches. It can only be used in regular matchmaking as third party mm services have banned it too, so try this boost at your own risk, just to have fun with your MM team.
