Four best Free Fire Character combinations with Dj Alok

Free Fire is a unique battle royale game where the focus is equally divided between aiming skills and the utility of available resources in the game. This means that players need to select correct characters in order to take a lead in their matches and one of the ways to do so is by having a good character combination.

Garena has a character system in Free Fire where players can select a main character and pair its abilities with three other characters in maches. Most of the players prefer to select Dj Alok due to his most versatile kit in-game and add three other characters alongside him to make the squad strong.

Dj Alok has an active ability called ‘Drop the Beat’ which gives a moment speed boost and heals allies as well as the players for a short period of time. This active ability is paired with three other characters’ passive abilities and here we take a look at some of the good combinations you can use in-game.

1. DJ Alok with Shirou, Moco and Kelly

Shirou’s passive ability marks an enemy and deals 50% armor penetration on the first shot. Moco and her ability can be used to mark enemies as well and gain a vision advantage which Dj Alok lacks and Kelly can act as a supportive roll to engage or disengage with her super fast movement speed boost.

This combination can work with Dj Alok as the focus with Kelly as the secondary character and the rest in supporting role. Shirou can be switched according to the situations but this combination gives a good advantage to Dj Alok players.

2. DJ Alok with Kapella, Maxim and Moco

This combination is one of the best combinations on this list with focus on the healing and having a slightly defensive composition. Kapella can be used to boost the healing provided by Dj Alok and Maxim reduces time consumed while using health packs. This means that the first three characters create a ultimate healing trio and can be paired with any character of your liking. Moco will once again mark the enemies in this composition and Dj Alok will be the aggressive lead.

3. DJ Alok with Jota, D-BEE and Antonio

Jota’s ability was revamped recently where the character now earns some HP by shooting the opponent and 10% of health is recovered when the enemy is knocked down. This can be paired with Antonio, who starts with additional HP due to his passive and D-BEE. The character D-BEE is used to increase movement speed and accuracy and hence, this composition will provide players with a strong frontline and an agile combination.

4. DJ Alok with Hayato, Rafael and Moco

Hayato is a risky pick where players gain additional armor penetration according to the HP lost. This can be combined DJ Alok as the secondary character and Rafael and Moco as the support. Rafael silences the gunfire and hence, it can confuse enemies to determine the location of their opponents and Moco will once again tag the enemies for better vision and range.

This is our list of top four picks of Free Fire characters that can be combined with Dj Alok. You can switch the order or add your own characters to the fray as per your own liking.

Top Five Characters in Free Fire according to ability

Free Fire has tons of characters which can be used to gain advantage in various situations in-game. Players can use certain characters to suit their playstyle and gain some attributes. Here are the top five characters based on their ability which you can use in Free Fire.

Characters in Free Fire are an integral part of the game as it can dictate the outcome of some fights. Players need to select a good character according to their play style and adaptability.

Here are our top five picks of characters in Free Fire.

1. DJ Alok:

DJ Alok can be termed as the most used character in Free Fire. His ability is called as Beat the Drop which players and using it will allow players to move faster and regain some health points within a circular perimeter. Players in this range can get boosted with same effects.

This ability makes DJ Alok a preferable pick in close range fights as well as for long distance rotations through risky areas.

2. Jota

Jota became a decent pick in the latest update after receiving a brief revamp. His abilities were slightly changed and hence, he can be a strong pick if you prefer to take risk and play aggressively. Jota regains some health points after shooting a player and a knock down awards him by rejuvenating 10% Health Points.

If you want to challenge other players and take duels as well as close quarter fights, Jota is a strong pick for you.

3. Kelly

Kelly is one of the oldest and yet relevant characters in the game. Her ability allows her to move swiftly through various situations. After activating her ability, the first shot landed on opponent deals 100% extra damage and her effects last for 5 seconds. This makes her a swift character for players who prefer to play through multiple positions in a fight.

4. Chrono

Chrono is a special character that was added to the game when Garena collaborated with soccer legend Cristiano Ronaldo. This character was termed as broken when it was launched. His ability creates a force field that blocks damage coming from the outside and players within the field can still shoot at their opponents. The movement speed of Chrono users increase as well. This kit itself makes him a top-tier character in this list.

5. Olivia

Players who like to play defensive and hold the supportive role can select this character. Olivia is a proper support and her ability revives players with extra 30 HP. This means that knocked players will receive an additional 30 HP upon being revived. Players who do not like to be in limelight and are looking for helping out in teamfights can use Olivia.

This is our list of top five characters according to their abilities in Free Fire. You can try them and if they do not suit you, make sure to try other options as well.

What is SkRossi’s best performing agent?

Ganesh ‘SkRossi’ Gangadhar is arguably one of the best players in the South Asian region and was even crowned the MVP of VCC India Qualifiers #2 as Global Esports beat XO in straight maps to win the best-of-five and qualify for the VCC South Asia Main Event.

As a duelist, SkRossi reigned supreme in VCC India Qualifiers, with an average of 1.42 rating over 12 maps in Qualifier #1 and an average of 1.70 rating over 11 maps in Qualifier #2.

SKRossi is primarily a duelist and mains the Jett, playing the Korean Blade-wielder 205 times according to spike.gg, with a pick rate of 90.7%. Other duelists like Reyna (7) and Raze (5) have been sporadically picked by the player, with Sage (4) also a niche pick.

However, Jett is the agent he excels at, boasting an ACS of 290.6 in 141 matches recorded on vlr.gg, with an average of at least a kill every round (1 KPR). Even in VCC Qualifiers #2, SkRossi wielded the Jett and Jett only from Round of 16 onwards, helping Global book their slot in the VCC South Asia Main Event.

Now, it will be interesting to see how his Jett matches up against other top South Asian players and ultimately, the best of the best.

On the other hand, T69 showcased a great performance in these qualifiers and made their way into the semi-finals after defeating Reckoning Esports in the quarter-final.

The Second map was Bind and it went down to the wire as both the teams put up a great fight and took it to overtime where T69 eventually closed out the map winning 15-13.

The final map of the series was Split, and Global Esports dominated the first half by winning nine rounds in their favor. The second half was the same story and Global Esports finally secured the map 13-4 and the series 2-1.

Twitch clips suggest xQc breakup

One of the most popular Twitch couples in xQc and Adept has broken up as a recently surfaced Twitch clip suggests.

From roommates to couples, an accidental slip-up from March 2021 made their relationship public which was tested later when they got into a fight over NoPixel drama. Their relationship wasn’t much of a talking point besides the NoPixel drama which is why no many details are available.

During a live stream, xQc’s comments on Adept hinted at the obvious. “Sammy left. I don’t want to talk it about that much,” he said. “Me and Sammy got into a little bit of a fight. It is what it is.”.

“I always tell you guys how I feel and what’s happening, it’s important to get stuff off my chest so I can focus,” he said. “Me and Sammy are apart. Please make an effort not to speculate and prod for answers. Most importantly, do not harass Adept, she will always have my respect.”

He later confirmed their breakup via Twitter but didn’t divulge any details. Being one of the most popular streamers would mean that his breakup would be in the limelight which he didn’t want so he kept it as brief as possible.

Adept is yet to break her silence but we don’t have anything to come from her side given her long-standing relationship has just gone into turmoil following a fight.

Global Esports face off against EsportsXO at VCC will determine the new champion

To the delight of Valorant fans across South Asia, Team XO will face Global Esports in the grand finals of Valorant Conquerors Championship India Qualifier 2. This comes after Team XO secured a brilliant 2-0 victory over Enigma Gaming in the semi finals.

The road for Team XO to the grand finals of Qualifier 2 wasn’t easy, though. Their rivals, Enigma Gaming, had previously defeated Team Novas in the quarter finals with a scoreline of 2-1. However, after two games of intense Valorant action, Team XO was the one to come out on top. 

The first game that took place in Icebox saw Enigma Gaming taking a significant lead over Team XO by taking eight rounds in the first half itself. However, the latter bounced back hard in the second half and left no room for mistakes to secure the game 13-10.

The second game took place in Haven, and it was even more intense than the first one. Once again, Enigma Gaming placed seven rounds on the board in the first half and took a small lead. Team XO had to pull off a comeback once again in the second half to force an overtime, finally securing game 2 with a 14-12 scoreline.

Enigma Gaming will still have a chance to qualify for the Wildcard qualifiers since they managed to secure a third-place finish in Qualifier 1.

Team XO will take on Global Esports tomorrow at 7 pm IST where the victor will head to the Valorant Conquerors Championship Main Event. Fans will be able to catch the action live on NODWIN Gaming’s YouTube channel.

EURO 2020 boosted eFootball commercial tournaments

EURO 2020 boosted eFootball commercial tournaments

The world of esports is expanding dramatically. More people join streaming platforms to both watch and show the world their esports battles. According to Newzoo, experts expect the global games’ live-streaming audience to reach 728.8 million this 2021, signifying a 10% growth compared to 2020.

And the betting industry couldn’t just ignore that snowballing trend. Sportsbooks have added esports betting to their offers, so fans of PC and console games won an opportunity to make money on the content they’re keen on. Moreover, esports betting has become a ‘plan B’ for traditional sports enthusiasts and bettors during COVID-19 lockdowns and postponed sports events.

EURO 2020

The fact is, eFootball is one of the most popular sports video games today. Betting operators have increased the number of esports events on their websites. For instance, the number of ESportsBattle eFootball matches streamed by one of the leading betting operators has increased x3 from December 2020 to June 2021. 

But does all of that mean that if sports events come back, esports betting will slow down? 

Someone might think that yes, it will. However, it is not that obvious. The 2020 UEFA European Football Championship caused a boost in betting on eFootball events.

According to Statista, during May 2021, 26% would rather be on a gambling website to check odds, bet, or cash out while watching EURO 2020. The number of people placing bets on ESportsBattle’s eFootball events before the EURO 2020 matches were the highest in 2021.

ESportsBattle analysts had witnessed a boom in views and odds placing on eFootball matches between 6 AM to 12 PM UTС. So right before watching UEFA’s EURO 2020, viewers were placing bets on ESportsBattle’s events. The key reason: eFootball betting gives bettors a chance to feel more involved in the whole process, just like they participate in the real championship every day.

The main difference between football and eFootball is that football has seasons. In contrast, eFootball is quite the opposite, it is 24/7 tournaments, constantly updated match formats, favorite players, and gripping competitions featuring well-matched teams.

Of course, during EURO 2020, the interest in eFootball has increased, which shows the correlation between major sporting events and esports tournaments. Traditional sports will always drive the esports industry.

The sports industry is one of the entertaining and recreational types of content that can still draw the attention of millions of viewers concurrently. And indeed, the esports industry appears to be entering an exciting period of its development. But still, traditional sports accumulate more views boosting esports as well.

However, it’s just a matter of time.
