FIFA 22 Ultimate Team made XQC rage quit and uninstall the game

While the FIFA 22 official launch just needs a few more days, players with early access have already started jumping into the world of FUT 22. The popular Canadian streamer Félix “xQc” Lengyel also decided to play FUT 22 on 25th September.

However, FIFA 22 didn’t fit well with xQc. After playing FUT 22 Ultimate Team for two hours, xQC conceded 6 goals before halftime in his last match. The match was literally unwinnable for the Canadian streamer as the score was 6-0. In the 82nd minute, he conceded the seventh goal which made him vexed. He said,

I’m gonna say it: soccer is one of the most dogs**t sports to ever exist, it’s an embarrassment to humankind. I said it, get mad. Keep malding, and I want to make sure people understand: it is not football, it’s soccer.

After the end of the match with an 8-2 score, xQc closed the game and uninstalled it from his computer. Apparently, xQc didn’t like FIFA 22 at all even after spending enough time building his FUT team.

Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack: All known N64 & Sega Genesis games

Nintendo Switch’s paid online subscription will soon expand with the introduction of N64 and Sega Genesis titles that will be playable on the handheld. This new subscription is set to launch this October and will increase Switch’s already gigantic game library.

While Nintendo has yet to reveal more details and pricing, here are some of the known upcoming N64 and Genesis games that will be available for the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack.

N64 Launch Titles

  • Dr. Mario 64
  • Mario Kart 64
  • Mario Tennis
  • Sin & Punishment
  • Star Fox 64
  • Super Mario 64
  • The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
  • WinBack: Covert Operations
  • Yoshi’s Story

N64 Future Titles

  • Banjo-Kazooie
  • F-Zero X
  • Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards
  • Mario Golf
  • Paper Mario
  • Pokemon Snap
  • The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask

Sega Genesis Launch Titles

  • Castlevania: Bloodlines
  • Contra: Hard Corps
  • Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine
  • Ecco the Dolphin
  • Golden Axe
  • Gunstar Heroes
  • Ristar
  • Shining Force
  • Sonic the Hedgehog 2
  • Streets of Rage 2
  • MUSHA
  • Phantasy Star 4
  • Shinobi 3
  • Strider

Although the initial N64 & Sega Genesis lineup is disappointingly limited as compared to 100+ NES and Super NES games, it’s fair to say that Nintendo is testing waters here as games like Mario Kart 64 will now be playable online with friends in 4 player races, although it remains to see how it’ll be implemented as Switch Online only allows player co-op functionality.

Nintendo has also announced wireless N64 and Sega Genesis controllers for Switch Online members which will be available later this year for $49.99 each.

Valorant: Team Liquid sign Nivera

Previously reported by TalkEsport, Team Liquid on Twitter have announced the addition of Nabil “⁠Nivera⁠” Benrlitom to their active Valorant squad as the community will now see the former Vitality rifler team up with his brother Adil “ScreaM” Benriltom who had made the switch to Valorant back in 2020. Nivera replaced James “Kryptix” Affleck as the latter temporarily moved away from the game citing personal issues. 

Nivera initially signed up for Team Vitality as the sixth player of their CSGO division, who would be utilized as a substitute over either Richard “Shox” Papillon or Kévin “⁠misutaaa⁠” Rabier on the main squad. During his time with the French side, Nivera notably won the BLAST Premier: Fall Finals 2020 where they breezed past through Astralis in the Grand Finals and Intel Extreme Masters XV – Beijing Online: Europe to secure his team a spot at the Global Challenge event organized by the same. 

Not long after he was benched by the team in wake of the updated rule set published by Valve which imposed a penalty upon teams if they used substitutes in between their ongoing matches at the Regional Major Ranking (RMR) events. This was when he decided to venture into Valorant and was shortlisted by Team Liquid in May only to be contracted under the same, four months later. Currently Team Liquid will field Nivera in place of Kryptix who has gone on a hiatus due to personal reasons.

With the addition of Nivera, Team Liquid are now:

  • Dom “soulcas” Sulcas
  • Travis “L1NK” Mendoza
  • Adil “ScreaM” Benrlitom
  • Elias “Jamppi” Olkkonen
  • Nabil “Nivera” Benrlitom

Valorant: FaZe Clan sign JDM as head coach

FaZe Clan on Twitter have announced the addition of Josh “JDM” Marzano as the head coach for their Valorant division while Thomas “Trippy” Schappy now transitions to the role of assistant coach. . This marks the veteran’ return to competition after a break of two years, having played last for Team Envy.

Earlier in May 2020, Marzano revealed his plans to pursue a career in Valorant and retired from playing Counter Strike, professionally. He quickly rose through the ranks in Counter Strike: Global Offensive after a brief stint with Counter Logic Gaming only to culminate his success which saw Team Liquid sign the American Sniper to the team alongside Nicholas “nitr0” Cannella, Jonathan “EliGE” Jablonowski, Spencer “Hiko” Martin and Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev. Under JDM, Liquid notably finished second at the ESL One: Cologne major in 2016 despite suffering a defeat at the hands of Gabriel “FalleN” Toledo led SK Gaming. 

As said above, JDM returns to competition after almost two years of inactivity but in a different game and role. This would be the first time we would see him anchor his team on the mic from the booth and not on the server. 

JDM will debut with FaZe Clan at the upcoming VCT North America Last Chance Qualifier as they still bear a shot towards the Valorant Champions, to take place later in 2021. FaZe Clan currently sit on the 7th position after Version1 with 120 points in their bag. The VCT: NA LCQ starts on October 12.

FaZe Clan are now:

  • Andrej “babybay” Francisty
  • Corey “corey” Nigra
  • Zachary “Zacharee” Lombardo
  • Shane “Rawkus” Flaherty
  • Hunter “babyJ” Schline
  • Joshua “jdm64” Marzano (Head Coach)
  • Thomas “Trippy” Schappy (Assistant Coach)
