nak To Stand-in For MIBR, will become the oldest player at an S-tier event

MIBR’s problems have risen at the worst time possible as they will have to use not one but 2 stand-ins for their appearance at BLAST Premier Fall Groups.

Ricardo ‘boltz’ Prass had tested positive for COVID-19 and thus couldn’t travel with the team to Europe. Meanwhile, Marcelo ‘chelo’ Cespedes was involved in a car crash a week ago and is still recovering from his injuries. He will be hoping to be at his 100% as soon as possible, especially with the Major right around the corner.

MIBR will play with strategic coach Renato ‘nak’ Nakano as a stand-in as the two members recover. Breno ‘brnz4n’ Poletto from the academy team of MIBR will also be playing at BLAST Fall Groups hoping to make a name for himself.

‘nak’ is currently 34 years of age, and with his appearance at BLAST Premier Fall Groups he will become the oldest player to play at an S-tier event. The record is currently held by Virtus.pro Legend Wiktor ‘TaZ’ Wojtas who was 33 years old when he played for Aristocracy in late 2019. The others who come close are 32 year old Patrik ‘f0rest’ Lindberg who played at cs_summit 7 and Filip ‘NEO’ Kubski who was also 32 years old at the Starladder Berlin Major 2019, playing for FaZe Clan.

MIBR are in Group B of Fall Groups 2021, alongside G2, NiP, and BIG. Their first game will be against G2 and the next matchup will be determined by the loser/winner of the NiPvs BIG game later on.

‘nak’ last played for South American team DETONA in 2020 and has since then retired to ply his trade as the strategic coach for MIBR.

MIBR will have the following roster for BLAST Premier Fall Group B:

  • Gustavo “yel” Knittel
  • Raphael “exit” Lacerda
  • Bruno “shz” Martinelli
  • Breno “brnz4n” Poletto (stand-in)
  • Renato “nak” Nakano (stand-in)
  • Alessandro “Apoka” Marcucci (coach)

Galaxy Racers bench Owais, Roxx and Ultron from BGMI Roster

0

Galaxy Racers India has benched Owais, Roxx and Ultron from their BGMI division for multiple reasons including insubordination, breach of contract and many more. The BGMI roster currently comprises of two other players Maxkash, who is inactive due to medical reason, and MJ will be the only active member on the roster for now.

The Indian division of Galaxy Racers handling Battlegrounds Mobile India roster has been in the limelight a couple of months ago due to multiple rumours stating that its roster will be disbanded or players will be released. Galaxy Racers clarified that these claims were in fact rumours and no such actions will be taken.

According to a report by AFKGaming, Galaxy Racers initially suspended a member of their coaching staff for certain undisclosed allegations but did not take a legal route due to lack in substantial evidence. They also issued formal warnings to resolve this matter.

Galaxy Racers has once again taken a big step in their Indian division by benching almost the entire roster. Taking Owais, Roxx and Ultron out of the equation, MJ remains the only active player for GXR and hence, the organization might hire more players under their banner.

The official statement reads as follows:

Owais has represented Soul and Fnatic in the past and is one of the star players from India. He and Maxkash joined the old roster of Team Celtz while this new team was formed. The players mentioned above are still under contract with Galaxy Racers and hence, will not be able to play from any other team until the contract ends.

Battlegrounds Mobile India esports is still yet to official kickstart its competitive season but as the roster has benched most of their players, it is highly possible that Galaxy Racers India will look for other players to play alongside MJ in the upcoming BGMI India Series. They have mentioned that further announcements will be made in due time and hence, these speculations remain unverified for now.

Blue Zone Grenade introduced in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds

The v13.2 patch in PlayerUnknown’s Battleground will see players get a chance to create their own Blue Zones, all thanks to the feature of a brand new “Blue Zone Grenade” to be inculcated in the game.  

What is a Blue zone in PUBG?

A Blue Zone is basically a Blue circle which shrinks over time in the game, pushing players inward and into a safer territory known as the “White Circle” If you’re caught outside the Blue Zone, you will receive an amount of damage that is significantly stacked if the next iteration of Blue circle further starts to shrink. As said, the White circle is the safest territory in the game as it further allows the player to focus on his duels. 

The upcoming patch will see players equip a Blue Zone grenade, just like any other throwable to create a temporary Blue zone surrounding their enemies. This grenade will work exactly like the normal Blue circle, which would deal damage if one is caught inside it. 

Popping a Blue Zone grenade would temporarily set up shop for you as it would push your opponents out of the hiding and peek you if in a closed combat zone. This can prove to be a nightmare for some hardcore campers who chose to play the game out from one corner. In addition to this, the damage dealt from the Blue Zone grenade can be stacked with “N” number of grenades, of the same kind. The blue zone Grenade generates a circular blue zone area with maximum coverage of ten meters nearly lasting for five seconds. It will disappear after five seconds of detonation. 

PUBG 13.2 Update patch notes

In this update, fan-favorite P90 SMG is being added to Care Packages. The P90 will be the first Care Package SMG since the original Tommy Gun, and as such, the developers have made sure it is a worthy addition. It comes loaded with its own unique 5.7mm High Powered ammo, which is capable of longer-range combat, unlike our other SMGs. It also comes with a Cheek Pad, Handguard, Laser, and Silencer pre-attached and non-detachable.

It also features dual optics that allow for fast switching between close-range and medium-range combat. Use the Holographic Sight for nearby foes and Flip on the Flipsight for added magnification when they make a run for it.

It comes paired with 250 rounds of 5.7mm ammo in the Care Package.

A single magazine holds up to 50 rounds which you (and your foes) can see deplete live as you’re firing due to the magazine’s translucent design. With the translucent magazine keeping you aware of the high Rate of Fire and the Laser helping you keep track of your targets, the P90 is a solid addition to your loadout.

  •  Spawns on all maps
  • Equipped with all attachments right out of the crate
  • Silencer
  • Laser
  • 50 round magazine
  • Non-detachable small low profile sight with some magnification
  • Ammo type
  • 5.7mm
  • Damage: 35
  • Maximum Effective Range: Up to 300m
  • Rate of Fire: 1,000 RPM

Battlefield 2042 got delayed to November 19

0

Battlefield 2042 was set to release on 22 October for PC, Xbox, and PlayStation, with an open beta later this month. However, industry insiders Jeff Grubb from Venture Beat and DualShockers’ Tom Henderson claimed that the game could be delayed but will maintain its 2021 release. DICE and their supporting studios have now confirmed the leaks, stating that Battlefield 2042 will now launch on November 19, 2021, almost 4 weeks after its initial release date. 

“Building the next generation of Battlefield during a global pandemic has created unforeseen challenges for our development teams,” Oskar Gabrielson, DICE General Manager issued a statement.

 “Given the scale and scope of the game, we had hoped our teams would be back in our studios together as we move towards launch. With the ongoing conditions not allowing that to happen safely, and with all the hard work for the teams are doing from home, we feel it is important to take the extra time to deliver on the vision of Battlefield 2042 for our players.”

The announcement also mentions that details regarding the Open Beta will be shared “later this month,” indicating that that the September 22 beta has been delayed in conjunction with the final product. According to Tom Henderson, the beta will now begin on October 6 for players who have pre-ordered Battlefield 2042, while the Open Beta launches on October 8 for everyone else.

It seems that this holiday season will be packed and eventful, with Battlefield 2042 releasing closer to Call of Duty: Vanguard and Halo: Infinite.
