Legacy Eliminates Imperial from Blast.tv Austin Major

The second match of the day saw yet another upset as Imperial took an early exit from the Austin Major after losing to fellow Brazilian side Legacy, who were largely considered an underdog coming into the tournament.

VETO

  • Legacy removed Train
  • Imperial removed Ancient
  • Legacy picked Inferno
  • Imperial picked Dust 2
  • Imperial removed Nuke
  • Legacy removed Anubis
  • Mirage was left over

Map 1: Inferno; Pick: Legacy; Winner: Legacy

A shockingly good start to the game for Imperial as they completely steamrolled Legacy on the offence. Legacy managed to win seven rounds early on, while Imperial managed to win just one by the end of the first half. While Imperial managed to win a single round, Legacy posted a performance good enough to close the map without much effort in the second half. N1ssim stood out as the star player for Legacy as they brought home their map pick.

Map 2: Dust 2; Pick: Imperial; Winner: Imperial

Imperial returned the favour from the first map, winning 11 rounds in a row in the first half after starting the map with a pistol round loss. While Legacy pulled back 3 rounds, Imperial found themselves two rounds away from winning the map. Both teams traded rounds, but Imperial’s massive lead gave them enough room to lose a few rounds before closing out the map. With a 1.89 rating, VINI pulled his team back into the series as we went to a third map.

Map 3: Mirage; Pick: Decider; Winner: Imperial

Imperial winning two rounds right from the get-go put them in the lead before Legacy took back control of the game, leading to them securing 9 rounds before switching sides. Despite losing the pistol rounds, Imperial won all of the remaining rounds to secure the map and a place in the third round of the play in Stage 2 of Blast Austin Major.

Imperial’s loss marks a big hit as they were one of the best teams from the region leading up to the Major, and now that they are gone, FURIA remains the only heavy hitters from the region.

TYLOO Eliminates Complexity from Blast.tv Austin Major

TYLOO has taken down Complexity to reach the final round of play in Stage 1 of the Blast.tv Austin Major. A historic win for the organisation puts them a single win away from the next stage of the tournament, as they now sit 2 wins under their belt.

VETO

  • Complexity removed Mirage
  • TYLOO removed Dust2
  • Complexity picked Train
  • TYLOO picked Inferno
  • TYLOO removed Ancient
  • Complexity removed Nuke
  • Anubis was left over

Map 1: Train; Pick: CoL; Winner: TYLOO

Complexity’s good start on their map pick put TYLOO on the back foot, but the Chinese team managed to get a grip and level the score before the first half concluded. Switching sides with 6 rounds, TYLOO continued the momentum as CoL could not hold onto bombsites, leading them to lose four rounds before putting their first round of the CT side on the board. While CoL did manage to win a few rounds, TYLOO mustered up a big lead with enough room to comfortably close the map without cutting it too close. The Chinese side won the map with a 13-7 scoreline, with a familiar face in JamYoung doing most of the heavy lifting with 22 kills to his name.

Map 2: Inferno; Pick: TYLOO; Winner: TYLOO

Winning the pistol round, TYLOO got off to an early lead but CoL managed to pick up momentum on the defence, leading to them pulling in 7 rounds before switching sides as TYLOO started their defence with a 13-7 scoreline. Losing the pistol round saw the Chinese side go 5 rounds behind before they started mounting a stellar comeback. The streak of rounds saw them hit map and series point while CoL threatened to push overtime as it took the final round of regulation time for TYLOO to edge out a historic win for the organisation.

It was a shocking outcome for Complexity, a team that was arguably one of the favourites coming into stage 1 of the Major. While it comes as a surprise to many, losing EliGE was a massive hit that the organisation failed to cope with. As their string of luck comes to an end as they will take an early exit without getting a shot at playing in front of their home crowd.

Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls Released by Arc System Works

Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls Released by Arc System Works

Marvel Games and Arc System Works have revealed Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls, a fast-paced 4v4 tag-team fighter arriving in 2026 on PlayStation 5 and PC. Unveiled during Sony’s State of Play presentation on June 4, 2025, this partnership represents a major departure from Marvel’s more conventional gaming collaborations, specifically its longtime partnership with Capcom.

Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls features a cast of renewed Marvel heroes with an anime-style visual makeover, consisting of Iron Man, Captain America, Ms. Marvel, Storm, Spider-Man, and more. Every hero has an anime-styled design, showcasing Arc System Works’ classic visual style featured in games such as Guilty Gear Strive and Dragon Ball FighterZ.

The 2.5D visuals and cinematic cutscenes of the game are designed to create an experience that is at once new and nostalgic for Marvel and fighting game fans alike. Of note is the fact that the characters speak only in Japanese, providing a distinct cultural overlay for the gameplay.

4v4 Tag-Team Mechanics

Breaking away from the usual one-on-one fighting game designs, Fighting Souls presents a 4v4 tag-team system. Teams of four characters can be composed by players, using strategic mixes of main fighters and support characters to perform dynamic combos and special moves.

The design accommodates a wide variety of playstyles, both for newcomers and veterans alike. The design allows for mastery of individual characters while fostering teamwork, presenting depth without excessive complexity.

Marvel’s history in the fighting game space has traditionally been bound to its partnerships with Capcom, which produced highly-regarded games such as Marvel vs. Capcom 2. Yet, the partnership became troubled, especially with the disappointment of Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite in 2017.

Following these new developments, Marvel has pursued new avenues of creativity, which have given rise to this collaboration with Arc System Works. This partnership marks Marvel’s desire to venture into new takes on its universe in the world of gaming.

Release Date

Scheduled for a 2026 launch on PlayStation 5 and PC platforms (via Epic Games Store and Steam), Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls has the potential to be a key player in the fighting game scene. The marriage of Marvel’s deep character pool and Arc System Works’ specific design ethos provides a new twist to the genre.

Fortnite Comes to Switch 2 with 60 FPS & Mouse Controls

With the release of Nintendo Switch 2 on June 5, 2025, Epic Games has brought a greatly improved edition of Fortnite that is optimized to take advantage of the console’s latest features. The latest edition not only offers massive improvements in visuals and performance but also enhances features that bring the portable experience more in sync with the other premium platforms.

Fortnite on the Switch 2 now runs at a steady 60 frames per second, a significant improvement from the original 30 FPS cap on the previous Switch. This improvement provides smoother game performance and more responsive control. The resolution of the game has also increased, providing 2176×1224 when docked and 1600×900 in handheld mode, providing crisper visuals and clearer definition in intense combat.

Aside from resolution and framerate, the game is enhanced by longer draw distances where players can see opponents and buildings from farther away. More realistic textures, realistic water effects, and dynamic clothing physics also elevate the gaming experience. These graphic improvements are not only better visual enhancements but also give players tactical benefits in gameplay.

Fortnite Comes to Switch 2 with 60 FPS & Mouse Controls

One of the best aspects of Fortnite on Switch 2 is the inclusion of mouse-like controls with the new Joy-Con 2 controllers. From June 7, players can use these controllers for finer aiming, replicating the accuracy usually found in PC gaming. This feature is especially useful for competitive players looking for tighter control while playing.

The Joy-Con 2 comes with sensors that allow for movement detection when the controller is set on a surface, essentially turning it into a mouse-like controller. The control preference can be tailored by the player, with options to control the cursor using the left, right, or both Joy-Cons. The system also caters to left-handed players through the possibility of swapping movement controls between thumbsticks.

Fortnite’s native support for the Switch 2’s GameChat feature represents a groundbreaking enhancement in game communication. For the first time, players can now communicate through voice chats with a maximum of three friends directly via the console without depending on additional apps or hardware. Such native voice communication supports better team coordination and overall gaming experience.

The Switch 2 edition of Fortnite brings back the Replay feature, with which users can replay and dissect their gameplay from various angles. Quick capture of gameplay clips is supported through the Capture button, facilitating easier sharing of memorable scenes. Additionally, players who sign in before March 31, 2026, will be rewarded with an exclusive “Wishing Star” emote as a gesture of gratitude from Epic Games.

Heroic Edge Out FlyQuest 2-1 to Advance in Austin Major Stage 1

The Stage 1 matchup between Heroic and FlyQuest was a nail-biter, with Heroic narrowly securing a 2-1 series victory. Here’s everything that went down in the series:

Map Veto

  • FlyQuest banned Train
  • HEROIC banned Inferno
  • FlyQuest picked Ancient
  • HEROIC picked Anubis
  • HEROIC banned Dust2
  • FlyQuest banned Nuke
  • Mirage was left over

Game 1: Ancient (Pick: FlyQuest, Win: HEROIC, Final Score: 13-7 )

FlyQuest looked to get an early lead on the T-side of Ancient by starting with a pistol-round win, but a force-buy from Heroic was enough to shut them down the following round. Heroic capitalized on their momentum and went on to grab nine rounds in a row before giving up a round. The first half ended with a 9-3 score in favor of Heroic.

FlyQuest tried to close down the gap by taking the second pistol round of the game, but it didn’t take long for Heroic to regain their composure and bounce back, closing their opponents’ map pick with a score of 13-7 in their favor.

Game 2: Anubis (Pick: HEROIC, Win: FlyQuest, Final Score: 13-11)

FlyQuest were once again the superior side on the pistol round, which enabled them to get an early 3-0 lead on the T-side before Heroic could try and retaliate. While Heroic could snatch a round now and then, the first half of Anubis was pretty much dictated by FlyQuest, who went into the CT-side with a comfortable 9-3 lead.

Heroic looked comfortable heading into the second half of Anubis, narrowing the gap to 9-10 before eventually equalizing at 11-11. However, FlyQuest wrestled back control of the driver’s seat in the following rounds, closing the game with a 13-11 score in their favor.

Game 3: Mirage (Win: HEROIC, Final Score: 13-6 )

Continuing the series’ trend, FlyQuest opened the final map with yet another pistol round win, only to fall to a force-buy from Heroic immediately after. The strong economic advantage helped Heroic get a 5-1 lead over FQ before conceding another round. Despite the early lead, Heroic failed to convert some key rounds as they ended the half with a score of 6-6.

After dropping five consecutive pistol rounds, Heroic finally secured one, arguably the most crucial, as it seemed to set the tone for the remainder of the half. FlyQuest failed to secure a single round on their CT side, allowing Heroic to close out the game with a 13-6 victory.

With this victory, Heroic secured their spot in the Austin Major 2025 Stage 2 with a flawless 3-0 record.

OG Take Down Tyloo in CS2 Austin Major Stage 1

The 1-1 matchups in BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025 saw OG dismantle Tyloo on Ancient with a decisive 13-3 win. With this victory, OG finds itself one step closer to securing a spot in Stage 2 of this prestigious event.

Map Veto

  • TYLOO banned Dust2
  • TYLOO banned Nuke
  • OG banned Train
  • OG banned Mirage
  • OG banned Inferno
  • TYLOO banned Anubis
  • Ancient was left over

Map 1: Ancient (Win: OG; Final Score: 13-3)

OG kicked off the BO1 on the right foot with a win on the T-side pistol round. Tyloo attempted to double down with a force-buy in the next round but failed to convert, leaving them with no choice but to eco the following round. It wasn’t until the sixth round that Tyloo could put up their first point on the board. OG found themselves in a commanding position at the end of the first half, closing it out with a 9-3 scoreline.

A second pistol-round victory for OG after the side swap paved their way for a smooth finish. They finished the game with a convincing 13-3 victory without conceding a single round thereafter.

Nico “nicoodoz” Tamjidi dominated the scoreboard in Ancient, securing a whopping 19 kills with only 8 deaths.

OG now joins NRG and Nemiga Gaming in the 2-1 bracket in the Austin Major. Fans will have to wait for the remaining matches to conclude before the next Stage 1 matchups are revealed.
