IEM Fall Closed Qualifier Teams Decided

With IEM Fall just around the corner, the open qualifiers have ended in the North American Region with South African org ATK and Triumph being the last teams to qualify for the Closed qualifier which is to be played between 18-19th September.

Teams qualify for the Closed qualifier via an open circuit of Open Qualifiers, once they get through there they take part in the Closed Qualifier for the Main Event, that is, IEM FALL.

The North American Closed Qualifier contains household names such as Bad News Bears and GODSENT as well as 2 other Brazilian teams and 2 American ones.

Team Liquid, Evil Geniuses, and FURIA are already part of the main event based on their previous performances and RMR rankings. The closed qualifier will play out with the following teams:

  • paiN Gaming
  • Bad News Bears
  • RBG
  • Triumph
  • TeamOne
  • GODSENT
  • Strife
  • ATK

Two out of the 8 teams will be eliminated and the 6 that remain will make it to the main event. Bad News Bears and GODSENT will be the favorites as GODSENT has some pretty big names in their roster, such as major winner ‘TACO’ and Brazilian fan-favorite ‘felps’,

Bad News Bears too will look to make it to IEM Fall: NA and gather some more RMR points in the hope that they make it to the PGL Stockholm Major. They are fresh off their win at Fragdelphia 15 and will look to continue winning with the momentum.

Five Big Names That Could Miss Out on the PGL Stockholm Major 2021

Five Big Names That Could Miss Out on the PGL Stockholm Major 2021

It has been more than 2 years since Astralis completed a hatrick of consecutive Majors at the Mercedes-Benz Arena in Berlin. The venue, coincidentally plays host to the Valorant Champions Tour (VCT) Stage 3 Masters 2021 at present. While CSGO is yet to have another Major since that night in Berlin.

With the announcement of the PGL Stockholm Major in January, CS fans finally had something to look forward to. The RMR circuit is about to be concluded as well, with the Regional Major Rankings deciding which teams make it to the Major in October and those who don’t.

Times have been turbulent for every team in the Online era due to the pandemic, which reflects in the RMR standings. With slightly less known names like FunPlus Phoenix and Double Poney actually in contention for the Challengers Stage, it puts some big names in jeopardy. We’ll take a look at the biggest names that could miss out on the most coveted in event in 2 years lest they fail to show up at IEM Fall.

#1 OG

OG has impressed us all in 2021, after the addition of ‘flameZ’ and ‘niko’ to the rosters. They made the finals of IEM Summer, finished in the top 4 in ESL Pro League S14. Even before that they were the runners up of Flashpoint 2. But in RMR events their performances have been less than convincing and they currently sit at 12th, with 430 points. They would need a better finish than Sprout and Double Poney, and by a margin if they are to make it to Stockholm.

#2 FaZe Clan

Whoever saw FaZe Clan play in 2020 and early 2021 knows that they haven’t been up to their usual standards. With the transfer of ‘NiKo’ to G2 and then removal of ‘coldzera’ they had to face a deduction of points as well and have just 248 points, well behind Sprout with 480 who have currently claimed the last Contender spot.

#3 Fnatic

The Swedes arguably had the worst time of all in the Online era and never seemed to have recovered. They had to remove veterans such as ‘JW’ and ‘Golden’ to bring themselves even in contention with the big names but their qualification to the Major seems unlikely as they have 294 points, just above FaZe Clan

#4 Virtus.pro

The CIS squad who had a dream run towards the end of 2020 and early 2021 seem to have stopped midway. In the RMR events they have faced regular upsets at the hands of forZe and K23. IEM Fall will be the last event where they can try to gather some points, but it would be an uphill battle as they are 850 points behind 5th ranked forZe. It’ll be a shock to see the runners-up of the last Major not make it to this one.

#5 Extra Salt

Cited as NA’s last hope on occasion, Extra Salt have still not locked in a spot at the Major. They are placed 6th, behind EXTREMUM, Team Liquid, FURIA, Evil Geniuses and 00Nation. They have 1200 points and would need a better finish than EG or 00 Nation by a margin of 110 points or more if they are to make it.

Fnatic’s Promising Return to the top 30

Fnatic’s Promising Return to the top 30

After a disappointing 2020, the 3-time Major winning org was in dire straits throughout. Not making playoffs for S-tier events in 2020, and then losing to Tier 2 teams from the EU in early 2021 coupled with dead last finishes in 3 events on the trot had them scrambling. Unmotivated players and bad results are never a good mix and it showed.

Jesper “JW” Wecksell was benched from the roster in July 2021 which left ‘KRIMZ’ as the only remaining member of the famed Fnatic roster which one 3 Majors in the early years of CSGO. JW was a crucial part of that roster but his performances had been going downhill for a while and the benching was inevitable.

In-game leader ‘Golden’ was benched as well a few days before JW, as Fnatic went into a rebuilding phase. ‘Jackinho’ had already been added in place of flusha earlier in 2020 but he had role clashes with JW, both of them being AWPers.

Fnatic then signed ex-cloud9 duo Alex ‘ALEX’ McMeekin and William ‘mezii’ Merriman as IGL and rifler respectively. When both of them were signed in August 2021, the roster was #64 in the rankings, well out of the top 30.

Along with them, ex-Complexity coach ‘Keita’ was signed as well in the role of Strategic Coach. The results showed immediately as the roster was put in the toughest group of ESL Pro League Season 14. They defeated Evil Geniuses, FaZe Clan, and BIG in their run and qualified for the playoffs ahead of FaZe Clan and BIG which was no mean feat by any chance.

They did lose to Liquid in the Round of 12 but showed promise in their games and showed that with time, they’ll only improve. They rocketed up to #24 in the HLTV world rankings, and with the last RMR, IEM Fall coming up they’ll even look to vie for a contender spot in the PGL Stockholm Major.

REPORT: ‘flamie’ is a free agent according to Dosia

REPORT: ‘flamie’ is a free agent according to Dosia

According to Counter Strike veteran and Major winner Mikhail ‘Dosia’ Stolyarov, NaVi player Egor ‘flamie’ Vasilev is a free agent now after terminating his contract with the org.

In a stream yesterday, PGL Krakow Major 2017 winner ‘Dosia’ claimed that NaVi has agreed to terminate flamie’s contract after 5 months of him being on the bench.

Dosia also claimed that flamie has received offers from teams that have ‘tier 1 players and with players that have potential to be tier 1’. The addition of flamie could work in a Hobbit-esque manner as it did for Gambit, having an experienced veteran with a team of young superstars for upcoming CIS teams.

Flamie joined NaVi 6 years ago, in 2015 as a stand-in and has been a permanent member since then, until his benching in April 2021 for 18 year old ‘B1T’. While on NaVi, flamie saw immense success and was the runner up at the FACEIT London Major 2018. He also won BLAST Global Final in 2020, and IEM Katowice 2020. He is also listed as part of the roster that won the Intel Grand Slam for his participation in the IEM Katowice 2020 win.

While these rumours could be false, it is more than likely to happen soon with the integration of ‘B1T’ going more than well for NaVi, having already won 3 trophies with him on the roster.

Baubles: Town’s Not Big Enough

Emotes: C’mere, You!; Thank Ya Kindly

All accessories will be released throughout the patch.

CHAMPION CHANGES

LUCIAN

After being nerfed and then his core items taking a hit too, Lucian’s ended up too weak. We’re giving him back a little power in his health and dash to put him in a more stable state.

  • BASE STATS
    • Health: 570 HP → 610 HP
  • RELENTLESS PURSUIT
    • Cooldown: 23/20/17/14s → 22/19/16/13s

RAMMUS

Rammus is over-performing after our last set of changes which were aimed at improving his early jungle clear without making him over-bearing. Keeping within the same direction, we are giving him a tune down on his PvP damage scaling (he’s a tank, after all) but also amping up his bonus damage to monsters to keep his clear relatively equal in power.

  • POWERBALL
    • Damage: 105/150/195/240 → 110/140/170/200
  • DEFENSIVE BALL CURL
    • Passive damage Armor ratio: 10% → 8%
    • Active damage Armor ratio: 15% → 12%
    • Monster damage bonus: 150% → 175%

RENGAR

Rengar’s early game is too strong at the moment. Tweaking down his early game so he can’t snowball as easily as before.

  • BASE STATS
    • Armor: 45 → 40
    • Attack Damage: 70 → 64

SONA

Sona’s been hitting all the high notes in recent times, but rather than impact supportive capabilities, we think trimming down her damage dealing would fit her utility identity a bit more. We’re also increasing her ultimate’s cooldown slightly to give opponents some more breathing room when dealing with her game-changing ultimate.

  • HYMN OF VALOR
    • Active damage: 40/80/120/160 → 40/75/110/145
    • Active AP ratio: 50% → 40%
    • Ally aura bonus damage AP ratio: 30% → 20%
  • CRESCENDO
    • Cooldown: 90/75/50s → 100/80/60s

TEEMO

Teemo is overperforming across the board. He’s getting some hefty general nerfs to his defenses to make him even more squishable.

  • BASE STATS
    • Health regen: 7.5 → 6
    • Health per level: 115 HP → 105 HP
    • (Health at level 15: 2180 HP → 2040 HP)
    • Armor: 35 → 30
    • Armor per level: 4.3 → 3.9
    • (Armor at level 15: 96 → 85)

GAMEPLAY CHANGES

ITEMS

ZEKE’S CONVERGENCE

We are seeing enchanters as a whole eclipsing most tank supports in performance as well as Zeke’s being a common buy but showing a relatively poor win rate for the tank support class. Zeke’s is getting some moderate buffs to see if we can get the meta into a healthier space for the support class as a whole.

  • Total cost: 2800G → 2700G (Combine cost: 900G → 800G)
  • Frostfire Covenant slow: 40% → 50%
  • Frostfire Covenant magic damage per second: 40 → 60

FREE-TO-PLAY CHAMPION ROTATION

Sep 16 – Sep 22: Corki, Galio, Leona, Pantheon, Rammus, Sona, Tryndamere, Vayne, Xin Zhao, Zed 

Sep 23 – Sep 30: Akshan, Brand, Lulu, Malphite, Nunu & Willump, Olaf, Soraka, Twisted Fate, Varus, Wukong

4 Tips for Building Your Own Esports App

4 Tips for Building Your Own Esports App

If you want to build your own app, there is a lot to know. The world of Esports is a massive one, but don’t let that scare you. If you have an original idea, the right skills, and the right drive, then you’re good to go.

Here are some tips for building your own Esports app.

The world of Esport continues to grow bigger. It’s a huge market, which has not reached its full potential yet. If you have a great idea for an app, then there’s probably room for you in the market. But you need to follow several important steps if you want to succeed with your app.

Here are a few tips to get you started, but it’s also a good idea to read a complete guide to developing your app.

Drafting is important

Many people overlook the importance of drafting. But actually, drafting is one of the most important steps there is. You have to think things through and set some goals for the future of your app. What market would you like to launch in? Are you making an app for iOS or Android?

Is the app going to be free, is it going to be a paid download and will there be purchases in the app?  

Questions like these are important to keep your vision clear and focused. This will make the development process easier and much more likely to succeed with the result you’re hoping for. Also, you need to research the market. Who are your competitors? And how can you make an app that’s better than theirs? 

Focus on functionality and get feedback

From here, it’s a good idea to make a storyboard of your app. This will help you ensure a logical flow for your users. Then you have to start wireframing. Find the right software for this process. Then you have to start delineating servers, data diagrams, and APIs.

When you’ve made the demo of your app, then you need to get some feedback. This part of the process should be focused on the functionality of the app. Then you can start to build your app. You should also start thinking about registering in one (or both) of the markets.

Perfect the design and launch

Now you’ve finally at the point in the process where you can start designing the look of your app. This is of course a very important step, so take your time with it. It’s the design of your app that’s going to make people download it. Afterward, people will keep using your app because of the functionality. But you attract them with the design. Make sure you test the design on a group of diverse and honest people. Now you’re finally ready to do some beta testing on the app. 

When the beta testing is done, your Esports app is ready to live a life of its own out there on the market. You will probably have to make some adjustments and upgrades along the way. You should also stay updated on the latest business news from the world of E-sport, so you know if there is a situation where you need to revise the features of your app.

How To Effectively Display Socials On Your Twitch Stream

How To Effectively Display Socials On Your Twitch Stream

If you’ve ever wondered how to promote your socials on stream while live then you have come to the right place. Being able to show your social media handle as part of your stream overlay is a great way to boost engagement across different platforms. These socials are also referred to as lower thirds.

Having viewers follow you on other platforms is the best way to build a close-knit community, even when you’re not live. Remember, people are as interested in your personality as much as your gameplay in many cases.

How They Work

The most common way of setting up socials on stream is with streaming software such as OBS or Streamlabs OBS. For streamers with the same social handle across all platforms, an image can be used to display their socials. However, if you’re using different handles for each platform you will need an animation to cycle through each one.

Many streamers will commission a designer to create lower thirds. The major benefit of this is that you can make sure that the design matches the rest of your stream elements. However, if you were to change any of your social usernames you would need to re-commission the designer to update it.

An alternative is to use an app specially designed to build and display your socials on stream. Streamlabs already has an app to do this called stream lower thirds.

This app allows you to select from a number of different social media platforms, add your own usernames easily and customize the animations. You will need to be using Streamlabs OBS in order to use this feature, however.

Setting Up Lower Thirds

If you have a commissioned design for your socials, the next step is to get them showing on your stream. OBS and Streamlabs OBS are by far the most popular streaming software available. Setting up your lower thirds in either of these programs is pretty straightforward.

If you are using a static image to display your socials you will need to add an image source to your scene. Once added select its properties, and set its source to that of your image. For animated socials use a media source in place of an image source. In the media sources properties, make sure to enable the “Loop” checkbox and point the source to your animation file.

Conclusion

Displaying your socials on stream is a great way to drive engagement with your viewers. It can also save you a lot of time as a streamer answering questions about your social platforms.

As a streamer, your goal is to build an engaged and close-knit audience, both on stream and off-stream. Using socials allows viewers to find you on other platforms. They can then continue interacting with you even when you are not live.
