BlizzCon 2021 officially canceled amid COVID-19 pandemic

Today in an official blog post, Blizzard announced that the annual BlizzCon event for this year, BlizzCon 2021 will be canceled due to “ongoing complexities and uncertainties of the pandemic”.

According to the Blizzard blog post,

Building an in-person BlizzCon is an epic and complex affair that takes many months of preparation—not just for us, but also for the many talented production partners, esports pros, hosts, entertainers, artists, and other collaborators we team up with locally and globally to put all of the pieces together. The ongoing complexities and uncertainties of the pandemic have impacted our ability to properly move forward on many of these fronts, and ultimately we’re now past the point where we’d be able to develop the kind of event we’d want to create for you in November

This is sad news for fans that hoped that Blizzard would host its 2021 massive BlizzCon convention in person but after today’s announcement that will not be the case. Despite the cancelation of the event, Blizzard has revealed its plans of hosting a global event in early 2022. The event will be a mix of both online and offline experiences. 

Next year, Blizzard plans to hold BlizzCon with smaller in-person gatherings and more online presence. The company plans to implement many features to ensure fans would have an equally “awesome” online experience as they did in the offline event. 

While they don’t have any details to share yet, the company hopes to share more information in the coming months. So stay tuned, we will post more news as we get more information.

Twitch Streamer Quqco Temporarily Banned For NSFW Content

Popular Twitch streamer and cosplayer ‘Quqco’ has received a ban from the platform following a wardrobe malfunction during her livestream.

While the exact reason behind her temporary suspension isn’t clear, she herself, alongside many of her fans, is suspecting that the ban might be the result of her revealing outfit that she wore during her May 26th livestream.

“Sorry for being a problematic streamer,” she wrote on her Twitter. “I’ll be back on Thursday.”

To provide further context on the issue, she explained, “For context, my cleavage was too wildin’, and I always wear pasties for stream.”

She also fired a few shots at hot-tub streamers, who she claimed show more than she did. “I didn’t show as much as a hot tub streamer does, but I guess I should’ve had a hot tub in the background in order for it to be ok,” Quqco said.

The ban is being criticised by many of Quqco’s viewers as an unfair suspension. Luckily, it seems like it’s only a one-day ban and she’ll be making a return to Twitch on Thursday.

Up & Close with MPL’s Frequent Gamers – Sanghmitra

Mobile Premier League or popularly known as MPL is India’s biggest Mobile Esports platform where players can compete in various skill-based mobile tournaments and earn cash prizes. Launched in September 2018, the app has grown significantly and has since registered over 60 million users (as of February 2021).

MPL offers over 60+ games that anyone can play for free and win cash prizes in return. MPL caters to a wide range of audiences with titles like the digital version of old-school tabletop games like Chess, Ludo, Carrom; to modern mobile games like 3D Pool, Bubble Shooter, Fruit Dart, Cricket, and more.

MPL also offers Fantasy Sports for users looking to use their sports knowledge and skill to create their own fantasy team and compete with others in the fantasy league to win cash rewards. 

Today we are going to talk about one gamer, Sanghmitra, who won Rs 7 Lakhs on MPL in the last 3 years simply by playing her favourite games daily. 

Sanghmitra (38) from Delhi started her journey on MPL in 2018 right after the platform went live. The first game she played on the platform was Fruit Chop, a game where players have to slice fruits as they appear on the screen. She found Fruit Chop interesting and started logging in daily to play and practice Fruit Chop. Soon she could defeat everyone and easily made her way to claim the rank 1 spot on the leaderboard. 

When asked about how she managed her job and MPL daily, Sanghmitra simply said

“If you have an interest in something, you want to do other than profession you can do if you have stamina and craze you can do anything. After 8 hours of duty, you are free to do anything. So I am doing this & smoothly running my professional and personal life.”

She started her journey by competing in Rs 6 battles and slowly made her way to Rs 500 battles, where she earned Rs 7 Lakhs in cash prizes. Now she plans to contest on bigger levels with higher stacks but even higher rewards. Currently, she plays Fruit Chop, Fruit Cutter, Fruit Dart, Maths quiz & Bubble Shooter, but plans to try out more games on the platform in the future.

Amouranth tops Twitch’s new Pools & Hot Tubs category

Kaitlyn ‘Amouranth’ Siragusa has reportedly taken Twitch’s new ‘Pools, Hot Tubs, and Beaches’ category by storm as the partnered twitch streamer clocked over 500,000 hours from her streams. This entirely new category indeed was blessed with 1.4M Hours of watch time from across the globe.

Earlier this week, Twitch decided to launch a whole new category exclusively for the streamers who stream “Just Chatting” but either on a beach or in a hot tub. This meta might end up being a limp for most of the partnered streamers as advertisers can now choose to pull out from such kind of content, eventually making the former lose a formidable amount of revenue from their streams.

Despite the deemed monetary setback, the “Pools, Hot Tubs, and Beaches category” has been ranked 26th by Twitch and has come out on top with a whopping 1.4 Million Hours of watch-time over the past week. This was first reported by Rainmaker.gg where Amouranth’s channel itself contributed over 500,000 hours to the total. Other streamers like Indiefoxx and ExoHydraX have too clocked a combined sum of 100,000 hours from their streams.
