Free Fire is a popular mobile battle royale game developed by Garena which provides a lightweight gaming experience with less intense graphics and more quirky features. Free Fire is about to release its OB28 patch update very soon and its release date can be speculated using old update trends.

Garena Free Fire is one of the biggest mobile games in the world and it is known for its variety of collaborations and partnerships which bring unique in-game content for their players. The developers even managed to bring Football sensation Cristiano Ronaldo onboard by announcing him as the global ambassador.

With each new update, tons of different things are added to the game apart from the fancy skins. Many characters and guns are optimized in seasonal updates and new items are added frequently to provide a fresh experience with each update. The next update is also bringing some new in-game models like a character, pet and new gun as well.

Free Fire OB28 Update Release Date

The expected release date for Free Fire OB28 Update is 8th June 2021. This update will be pushed on global servers around that day and most of the players might get an in-game notification.

The developers give away free rewards for players updating the game and the event’s start date mostly correlates with the seasonal update. Based on this fact, the new release date for this patch is speculated. This is not the official release date and hence, it may vary slightly.

Pakistani DotA 2 Streamer Makes Racist Comments Against Indians During Livestream

Pakistani Dota 2 streamer Shiraz “Sh1zzy” Akhter has publicly made racist comments against Indians and the esports scene during a live stream on June 1st, and the Dota 2 community isn’t happy about it. 

Throughout the live stream, Sh1zzy repeatedly made distasteful comments against the Indian community, even when a portion of his chat kept calling him out for being racist. He even referenced the capture of the Indian Air Force fighter pilot Abhinandan Varthaman by Pakistan in 2019 and proceeded to make disrespectful comments about him.

Sh1zzy also bragged about the achievements of his countrymen Syed Sumail “SumaiL” Hassan and Yawar “YawaR” Hassan and implied that Indian Dota 2 teams have achieved nothing.

When called out by some of his viewers for his blatant racism while streaming, he asked them to “drink cow piss” and claimed that he didn’t “give a f**k” about what they think.

“I’m racist as f**k? Okay. Go ahead, say it, I don’t give a s**t” Sh1zzy said. “Go and drink cow piss. Don’t type s**t in my chat.”

To justify his toxic behavior during the stream, Sh1zzy claimed that it was because of an Indian opponent who trash talked him after winning a game.

Sh1zzy explains, “There is only one context to all of this, this guy [pointing at his opponent], some random f**k, some random-ass guy from India wins a game and starts trash talking, that’s it.”

With over 5,500 followers on Twitch, Sh1zzy is certainly a popular Dota 2 streamer in Pakistan. Needless to say, these xenophobic and racist comments can easily put his channel at the risk of termination, since streamers being banned for hate comments is not a new thing on the platform.

Riot Games took their official League of Legends: Wild Rift Twitter account to announce the account transfer restriction for the Americas player. If you played the game earlier in the regional Open Beta, but haven’t logged in since March. You need to transfer your account to the Americas server soon. Riot Games will be removing the option of account transfer in the upcoming updates.

To alarm all the players of the region, a message has been popping out at the start of the game. The message comes with the heading CONFIRM GAME REGION “Based on your account information and current location, you will be placed in Wild Rifts North America server where you’ll be able to join various region-specific events and compete with other local players on the Ranked leaderboard.

This also makes you eligible for matchmaking with other players on the Americas servers, however, please note that the Europe & Asia servers are totally separate from the Americas servers, meaning players on one set of servers cannot play with players from the other.

If this seems like a mistake, you may be using an incorrectly configured VPN or attempting to log in with the wrong account. Please check your network and device settings and try again.”

To let you know, League of Legends: Wild Rift was officially available to the players of America from March. So a lot of players got into the earlier beta version by using VPNs before its release. Now, Riot Games are giving them the option to change the servers. So that none of your purchased items gets lost.

The procedure to transfer the account to the North and South American servers is easy. Log in to your account without using any VPN. The game will automatically detect the region you are presently in and prompt you to migrate your account. All the progress of your account will be removed besides the items purchased within the game. Now you are good to go, and enjoy your game.

Pakistan defeats India in Redbull Campus Clutch Valorant Qualifier

Pakistan’s MAXD Esports has dismantled India’s Team Villainous at Redbull Campus Clutch regional finals in a smooth one-sided game. 

Redbull Campus Clutch Grand Final went sleekly in favour of regional favourite MAXD Esports, who booked its slot by defeating Sri Lanka’s Union Gaming in a 2-0 win. Conversely, Team Villainous’ journey to the Grand Final was relatively smooth, as the Indian team automatically advanced to the next round of tournament play.  

The two teams locked horns for the title of the best team in the South Asian region on 5 June. Out of all the finals scheduled for the day, this game was expected to be cut-throat. All sights were set on the official showdown between India and Pakistan in a Riot backed event, but MAXD Esports wrapped up the anticipated event rather quickly. 

On the back of top gun Anas “traNz” Ayub, MAXD Esports emerged as the stronger team on the first map Bind. Villainous’ Astra curveball failed to have as much impact during the initial games on a smaller map. MAXD Esports’ entered with a double controller setup, which paired well with the crisp aims of former Counter-Strike: Global Offensive players. The Abdul “HSB” Haseeb led roster allowed zero round wins for the Indian team in the first few rounds, but Villainous managed to break the streak at the sixth round. 

Despite a commendable showing, Villainous could only bag six rounds overall. The situation wasn’t much different on the second map Ascent, where both the teams had their Sentinels on top of the scoreboard. MAXD’s five had unique roster picks for each map, as opposed to Villainous, who didn’t change much in both rounds. Villainous tactics were top-notch, but MAXD Esports newly turned in-game leader HSB bought out an updated strat book for the grand finals. The team culminated the second map at 13-8, booking a slot in the World League set to take place in Spain. 

The 2-0 win for MAXD Esports confirmed that South Asia would undoubtedly have a strong representation at the World Stage Final. The Pakistan team will now fly to Spain to compete with some of the best teams across 50 countries for the prize pool of $24,000.

Leffen to get legal aid following accusations from Hax$

TSM FTX Smash Melee pro William Hjelte aka Leffen has announced that he is looking for legal assistance following accusations of forming a “totalitarian regime” in the Smash community from fellow player Hax$ aka Aziz Al-Yami.

In a two and half hour video published on YouTube, Hax$ has brought forward accusations towards Leffen. According to him, Leffen has formed a “totalitarian regime” around the Smash community before labeling him a “psychopath”. The video came along with a Google document that expands and breaks down his accusations in detail.

Nine different claims were surfaced by Hax$ that range from hijacking the “#metoo” movement for personal gains to “maliciously” advising players to alter the layout of their controllers and not mention how he “blackmail and propaganda” to “smear” Smash rival Juan ‘Hungrybox’ DeBiedma.

“at this point i don’t even know what to do. Legit concerned with my safety at events with this level of things. Will be looking into a lawyer before saying more just to make sure my bases are covered.” is all Leffen has to say in terms of a response.

So far, it has been obvious that Leffen rejects any claims made by Hax$ to the point that he is looking for a legal advisor to get him through these freshly surfaced accusations. Leffen is one of the most influential names in the community and given the tricky nature of the claims, more drama is sure to follow suit.

Racing Mode soon to introduce in PUBG Labs

Do you always felt to race with your enemies in Playerunknown’s Battleground? PUBG developers have heard you, soon Racing mode will arrive in PUBG LABS. This mode will completely change the experience of the game. Now, as you battle your opponents, you can also race across tracks on the newly updated Miramar.

ABOUT THE RACE

The players can select this mode on the homepage of the game. The player will select the vehicles at the start of the race. They could choose from Motorcycle, Buggy, Coupe RB, Dirt Bike, Mirado. Each vehicle comes equipped with a set of different weapons. Just after reading this line, I remembered the car combat franchise ‘Death Race’. Use the F8 key (Console: D-Pad down) to toggle the vehicle selection UI and change vehicles.

START RACE

The players are spawned in their vehicle as the race countdown begins. You won’t be able to move or attack other players until the race starts. The players are invincible for 10 seconds at the match start whereas 5 seconds invincible after each respawns. The game has a fixed racer track for the players as shown below. Both the tracks are one, start to finish.

Checkpoints

To save your progress in the game, you have to cross the checkpoints. Checkpoints serve as respawn points. Going off-track for too long engages an out of bounds timer and when the countdown hits zero, you will be respawned near the latest checkpoint you’ve passed.

Boost Crates

The players need to drive through red crates to collect boosts. The boost crates respawn a short time after being collected. You can use the shift key to consume your boost which brings you Full Speed. When killed, you will respawn with your boost gauge set to max. Vehicles such as motorcycles and Dirt Bikes are not given the boost to balance the gameplay.

Ammo Crates

Now comes the best part of the mode, Ammo crates. The players drive through blue crates to collect ammo. Crates provide a small amount of ammo for your equipped weapon. Ammo crates respawn a short time after being collected.

The player that crossed the finish line first, grabs the checkered flag and wins the race. The rest of the players will only get 60 seconds to finish the rave once the winner crosses the finish line.

The new mode announced by the developers just looks amazing. If all the things go well, we can soon see this mode available to the mobile version of the game. Till then race hard.

Free Fire bans 1.2 million accounts for hacking

Garena recently released a report on their actions against cheaters and hacking in Free Fire. According to the post, the developers have banned more than 1.2 million accounts in the last two weeks. This crackdown is a part of their regular system security checks where violators are often punished.

Hacking is a big problem in Free Fire where players use exploits and plugins to gain unfair advantages. This includes variety of cheats and some cases are more severe than others. The developers have to actively keep an eye on the players to detect such cheaters and stop the exploit.

Garena Free Fire has a huge player base with millions of active players daily. It is quite hard to track so many players but with the help of in-game reporting system, Garena bans a large number of hackers on a regular basis. The most recent report states that 1,124,505 accounts were banned with a span of 2 weeks.

Out of these 1.2 million banned accounts, more than 70 players were using auto-aim to instantly lock targets and take them down without any needing to place the aim manually. This banwave has covered a big part of hackers and proves that strict actions are being taken against anyone who tries to exploit the game.

The percentage of cheat types out of the total are given below:

  • Auto Aim – 72.6%
  • Through Wall – 10.3%
  • Teleport – 14.8%
  • Others – 2.3%

Players reporting hackers are playing a big part in this process as 63.4% bans were made on the basis of reports. If you come across any hacker, make sure to report them so that appropriate actions are taken.

Free Fire OB28 Update: Training ground changes, Mini UZI

Free Fire OB28 Update is right around the corner and the developers have started to drop hints about new features that will be included in this new seasonal patch. Garena has shed some light on these new additions and some interesting things are being added to training ground. A new SMG will also be released in-game.

The OB28 Patch will be the next seasonal update in Free Fire. Currently, most of these features are being tested by limited players on the Free Fire Advance Server and after testing its stability, they will be added with the next global update. This update will be released around next week.

According to the social media posts, Free Fire will be getting chat emojis in the next update. Players can spam it within the training grounds and play with them. This addition will only be limited to training sector and not to actual BR matches.

Along with the emojis, the developers have decided to add more unique content to training grounds so players can have some relaxed fun without engaging into gunfights. The training grounds are almost transformed into amusement parks with the addition of Airship and Bumper Cars.

The description of Airship includes a “1v1” mode which means that this will probably be some kind of match between two players. More details about this mini-mode are not revealed yet. Players can drive Bumper Cars in training grounds and enjoy the ride along a track.

Another big addition to the game is Mini UZI. This new gun will be under SMG class in Free Fire and might be added to BR and Clash Squad mode in the OB28 update. The description of this gun says “High Burst and Firing Rate” which means that it will be a lethal close range weapon.

The efficiency of this weapon will decrease as distance increases but players who choose to engage more often within close quarters can obliterate their opponents using the new Mini UZI. The release date of this new update is not announced yet.
