Advertisements are reinstated on Amouranth’s channel after she hinted at leaving the hot tub stream for good, but the additional revenue has been significantly reduced.
When Twitch said they were “closely monitoring” the “hot tub” meta, no one expected their verdict to come unannounced, least of all in this fashion. Arguably, the biggest hot tub streamer Amouranth, had her channel demonetized that left others in a bit of turmoil.
For someone of Amouranth’s stature, ad revenue racks up to a large amount, losing which may be significantly damaging. Suspending advertisements on her channel will close a big income avenue for her that Twitch assumed will probably demotivate other streamers into following the “hot tub” meta.
“For comparison, before the demonetization, I was getting $1000 a day in advertisements,” she said. “Yesterday, I streamed for like 15 hours, had a 15,000 viewer average, and had $130 in ad revenue,” she added.
According to her statement, her annual income will be reduced to $50,000 from what previously was half a million dollars. The community, in general, has appreciated Twitch taking steps against the “hot tub” meta which might see similar streamers follow her footsteps.

Both the players will play against each other on the real-life pitch on May 26 and the winner will receive a +2 overall in-game upgrade. The fans can only complete this challenge till then.
Showdown Fred is an amazing card when we look at his stats which have been upgraded by EA including Physical (+14), Defending (+11), Passing (+9), Shooting (+8), Dribbling (+7), and his Dribbling (+7).
The SBC costs around 259,500 FUT coins on PlayStation and 263,750 on Xbox and 325,750 FUT coins on PC.

Blatant sexism and harassment is not a new thing in the world of multiplayer video games. In the past, we have often seen reports of female gamers being harassed online or prominent esports personalities raising their voice against the existent sexism in the video game community.
While video game companies have started taking measures against any form of harassment in multiplayer video games, the problem with cyberbullying seems to be far from over.
According to a recent Reach3 Insights report, in collaboration with Lenovo, as much as 59 percent of female gamers have hidden their gender while playing online video games over harassment concerns.
Here are some of the other key findings in the report:
88 percent of female gamers surveyed play competitive games
75 percent claimed that they play action/survival games while 66 percent play shooters.
59 percent of females surveyed conceal their genders (or play as other genders) when playing online games
77 percent female gamers reported encountering some form of unwanted behavior while gaming
70 percent have reported to being questioned about their in-game skills
65% have reported falling victim to gatekeeping
Another 50% have reported that they are treated differently because of their genders
44 percent of the surveyed female gamers claimed to have received unsolicited relationship requests while gaming
These findings are certain to shock the video game community, and players across the world will undoubtedly be hoping for the developers to take more drastic measures to tackle in-game harassment.
Esports is no stranger to teabagging and BM in general, however, a little drama and spice are always appreciated by the viewers as long as it stays within the bounds of friendly banter.
Teabagging or BM(bad manners) is an unconventional way to assert your dominance or a moment of brilliance by looking down upon your opponents. While fans appreciate a little banter, unsportsmanlike behavior is off the limits. Teabagging is often subjected to penalization but disqualification without any prior warning is something unheard of.
Jim, a professional COD Mobile player for Tragik pulled off an incredible 1v3, much needed to keep his team in the tournament, which explains his excitement that he showed by shooting the dead bodies of the players on the receiving end of the clutch. However, shortly after, the stream cut directly to the casters as Tragik was disqualified and a free win was awarded to their opponents for “unsportsmanlike conduct.”.
Hope my team will be allowed to shoot bodies after winning and 6-1 snd after a 1v3 sniper clutch !! pic.twitter.com/6n8tQSbqEU
The COD Mobile esports community wasn’t shy to show their disagreement with the decision of tournament organizers and for good reason. Teabagging is generally countered with a warning from the TO, but a direct disqualification is unprecedented, as teams who were involved in similar behavior were left with a warning.
Tragik Pearl, the team manager later clarified that none of the admins warned them against the possibility of a disqualification, not to mention the tournament rule book didn’t mention shooting dead bodies would result in disqualification.
Several pro players and the community, in general, have spoken against the controversial disqualification of Tragik, now it’s up to the TO to come up with a public statement that remedies the situation.
Virtual Reality has been gaining traction over the last few years thanks to affordable VR headsets and media that are intriguing enough for people to dip into next-level entertainment and experience something out of this world, literally.
Here are some of the best games that VR has to offer, and these games range from first-person shooters, puzzles, and even exploration. It doesn’t matter if you’re using a VR Headset on PC (HTC Vive, Valve Index, Oculus Rift) or PlayStation VR (with PSVR 2 on the horizon, we can expect some of these titles to be compatible with it too), you’ll find something on this list to scratch your Virtual Reality itch.
Beat Saber
At this point, playing Beat Saber is a tradition for first-time VR users due to its simplicity. Beat Saber is a rhythm-based game where players have to slash cubes using their ‘lightsabers’ in accordance with the music’s beat.
The game is honestly a decent workout, especially if you like to dance to your playlist but you can also play it seated, but where’s the fun in that? Beat Saber is available on Windows, PlayStation VR, and Oculus Quest.
Resident Evil 7: Biohazard VR
Sorry PC users, Sony’s keeping this one. Biohazard manages to encapsulate horror elements in wonderful ways, until you snap out of it as the game’s visuals have been sacrificed for performance and Ethan’s arms keep floating around on the screen, which is honestly quite uncomfortable and can make players feel like a spectator, rather than feeling like Ethan himself.
On the bright side, Biohazard is still wonderful thanks to its well-placed jump scares and set pieces, but it has been held back by PlayStation 4’s aging hardware.
Biohazard also has the privilege of being one of the first Triple-A games that is entirely playable on VR, which is no small feat and is definitely an essential experience, especially if you’re a PSVR owner.
A game where you die if you don’t stop and think about your next step as time moves when you do. Set entirely in slow motion, Superhot VR is a first-person shooter that mixes puzzle elements with bullet-time and forces you to adapt objects near you into weapons.
Unlike the original Superhot, the VR version lets you dodge enemies’ bullets and maneuver enough to take cover behind objects which in itself is quite an immersive experience. You can grab Superhot VR for Windows, PSVR, and Oculus Quest.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim VR
One of the best RPG games that has been ported to almost every device known to mankind, Skyrim is perhaps one of the biggest VR games due to the amount of exploration it offers; the game also contains both Dawnguard, Dragonborn, and Hearthfire DLCs.
Players can experience Tamriel up close in this version of Skyrim and the combat feels more personal thanks to the inclusion of motion controls. Though its movement system is a bit janky as it relies on pointing and teleporting, which might break players’ immersion. Skyrim VR is available on Windows and PSVR.
Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes
This game of four players will truly test your friendships and patience as your goal is to defuse a bomb by clear communication. Players are split into two groups where one player (Defuser) is tasked with defusing a bomb and the rest of the players (Experts) will have to read a manual on how to defuse it. Taking too long or making multiple mistakes will eventually cause the bomb to detonate. You can find Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes on Windows, PSVR, and Oculus Quest.

The concept of Esports was a pipe dream a decade or so ago. Today, it’s quickly turning into one of the most lucrative industries in the world. Valued at more than £1 billion according to the likes of Business Insider, it has the potential to challenge the traditional giants and take them on at their own game. It’s no wonder classic sports are nervously glancing over their shoulders.
The great thing about the sector is that it has room for growth, with an even bigger valuation expected by 2023. With no signs of the market slowing, it’s time to ask why Esports are so popular?
The Rise of Spectator Esports
It’s not only people actively playing that boost the industry’s numbers – it’s the spectators that gladly watch from the sidelines as professionals compete against one another. While it may seem counterproductive, the truth is that there are levels to player’s skills because some pros can do things normal users can only dream of.
Also, the improvement of gaming infrastructure means that there are tons of platforms for audiences to watch the latest action, making the sector incredibly accessible. Factor in the role of YouTube and Twitch – TechCrunch says both brands have daily users in the millions – and it’s not hard to see why Esports have skyrocketed in popularity and value in a short time frame.
Gambling Markets
Esports share similarities with regular sports. One of the best examples of this is the Formula One gaming championship, because it attracts the attention of real-life drivers such as Charles Leclerc, George Russell and Lando Norris. However, this isn’t the only area in which the two sectors overlap.
Esports are profitable for bookmakers and betting companies, which means new markets have been created to appeal to people who like to add excitement to the experience. Thanks to the crossover between sportsbooks and online casino games, there is now a customer base that enjoys placing a wager during live events – which is something that platforms such as Comeon casino leverage with expertise. It’s not much different from sports betting habits, which probably explains why the markets are so profitable.
Free-to-Play Platforms
When you look at the industry, you will instantly notice that traditional titles and releases don’t dominate. Instead, free-to-play games are at the top of the market and don’t appear to be going anywhere soon. For example, the biggest tournaments center around the likes of Leagues of Legends or Counter-Strike.
The reason for this is that they are much easier to develop because there isn’t the same concern regarding costs and return on investment. That’s why free-to-play titles are the fastest-growing category in gaming in the past 15 years. For Esports, this means that there is a fresh influx of releases to cash in on through a variety of channels every year.
Mobile Devices
Mobile trends have evolved dramatically in recent years, leading most gamers to prefer to play via their smartphones and tablets rather than on a console. Today, there are around 2.7 billion gamers on the planet, the majority of which are mobile users.
The fact that Esports are mobile-friendly, unlike console games, showcases why the sector’s expansion hasn’t been coincidental. Thanks to the platforms they use, Esports are widely accessible across the board, since devices and internet connections are ten a penny.
All the above is why Esports are worth a projected £1 billion+ in 2021, and why the valuation is expected to continue to rise for the next decade.
Everyone is developing more Mobile Legends tips than most gamers can handle. If you try to apply every guide you find online, it’ll become a confusing mess, and you may end up losing more than you win. That’s why we’ve decided to craft the ultimate Mobile Legends strategy towards becoming an undefeatable champion.
Think Strategically, Play Seriously
While most casual players will think of Mobile Legends as a mere game, you shouldn’t. If you take it seriously with the intention to win every time, eventually, you’ll become unstoppable. Enter the game with the fury of the gods, ready to smite them with your impenetrable strategy.
Watch For Monthly Hero Updates
Every month, the developers released updates for heroes that include unique buffs and skills. These items make specific characters more powerful than others, which means you can eliminate those that are unaware.
Master the Hero Roles
Each hero has a class in which they specialize, and that needs to be your primary focus. Assassins level up as they kill, while tanks can endure massive amounts of damage. Ensure that you master each of these abilities to claim the best Mobile Legends strategy.
Craft the Ultimate Hero Build
When you add armor, weapons, and items to a hero, you can develop a build for that hero. There are some predefined builds that increase stats like healing and attack damage. However, be brave enough to form your own one that’ll make the hero invincible.
Match Up With Professionals
Finally, take advantage of the fact that Mobile Legends is a team game. If everyone plays their roles effectively, you’ll have an unbeatable team. Match up with professionals who have a large number of wins under the belt, and you’ll be assured of victory.
Become an Undefeatable Legend
Taking on the world in online tournaments can be daunting. You’ll face players who have years of experience, waiting to wipe the battleground clean with you. However, you can defeat even the most potent gamer if you have the right Mobile Legends strategy. Here’s a toast to the future king of this MOBA title.
