Valorant’s new map Breeze to debut at Stage 2 Masters in Iceland

Breeze is all set to be featured in the upcoming VCT Stage 2 Masters LAN event to be held in Reykjavík, Iceland from May 24 – May 30.

Valorant Champions Tour on Twitter have revealed their plans to add Breeze to the map pool at the Stage 2 Masters, a global event that will be held in Iceland on LAN.

Valorant’s brand new map Breeze will be added to the current five map pool, followed by a revamped Pick/Ban Veto mode which would be transitioned into the game by the developers at the major event, consisting of 10 teams from across the regions which are a part of the VCT circuit. At the moment, there has been no official word on the to be “improvised Veto mode
“ by Riot but the addition of Breeze would change the concept of the same.

The teams qualifying for the main event would have a month’s time to work upon their strategies and other game plans followed by scrimming others in an attempt to have an upper hand over the same. The Pick/ban ratio of Breeze would be an interesting moment to watch out for as we would know the familiarity the former would have achieved since its release.

With a variety of six maps in the event, the Best of 3 match-ups would see two maps getting banned by the default process while both sides might need to mutually agree on banning the last remaining map left in the pool. In the case of a Best of 5 event, either there could be a random map ban by the admin or the mutual decision might be taken under consideration.

TalkEsport was invited to try out Breeze and you can catch the entire action under this VOD:

Dream leaks his phone number on Twitter

Popular Minecraft YouTuber Dream has released a phone number on Twitter claiming that it will be him on the other side after two automated messages.

Dream rose to stardom thanks to the sudden rise of Minecraft’s popularity heading into 2020. Since his rise, Dream has been through his fair share of dramas and controversies but all of that seems to have cooled off by now. With over 20 million subscribers on YouTube, he’s giving others in the same category, a run for their money.

Naturally, a tweet like this prompted fans to think about a potential hack that was far from reality. The number actually belonged to dream as part of a well-planned marketing strategy. The number was installed from him to interact with his fans restricted to the United States.

The primary objective of this venture was more or less a major success. One way or the other, the news made to the front page and got fans talking about it. The marketing success was there like it or not and the ones unhappy with it are the ones who didn’t get the opportunity to speak to their idol in the dream.

PhantomL0rd Wins Lawsuit Against Twitch

Former Twitch streamer James ‘PhantomL0rd’ Vargas, who had been banned from the streaming platform back in 2016 for misleading his viewers regarding CSGO skin gambling, has reportedly won his lawsuit against the website. However, his demands for $35 million in damages weren’t quite met.

The lawsuit was launched by PhantomL0rd himself in 2019 against Twitch. In the lawsuit, he accused the platform of “unsubstantiated” and “false accusations” against him and banning him from it.

The lawsuit ended in PhantomL0rd winning on all counts and receiving a sum of $20,720.34 in damages from Twitch. Needless to say, the sum was significantly less than what he was looking for.

Vargas took it to Twitter to celebrate his victory against Twitch. “Twitch LOST EVERYTHING, including the fraud claim against me for the CSGOShuffle allegations,” he said in a post. “This is a win for ALL streamers! Twitch can’t bully, lie & treat streamers unfairly the way they have for years!”

Twitch hasn’t released a statement regarding the results of the lawsuit as of yet.

Call of Duty: Warzone Adler Intel Locations

Call of Duty: Warzone Season 3 is currently live, and it has brought with it a plethora of new content to the shooter. ‘Hunt for Adler’ is a time-limited event introduced this season, and it rewards players with certain cosmetics upon completion.

If you’re having difficulties finding the locations for the Adler Intel, we have you covered.

To complete the challenge, players need to visit three areas across the map, collect the Hunt for Adler intel contract, and find the three supply boxes before the timer runs out.

However, once a player collects the contract to initiate the objective, it will no longer  be available to other players. So you have to be quick if you want to be able to finish this time-limited event.

Call Of Duty Warzone Adler Intel Locations

Here’s a map showing the Adler Intel locations in Call of Duty: Warzone. The spawn locations are often randomized but they are generally in the same areas: Summit, Factory, and Farmland 

Once the intel is found, players need to grab the contract and open the chests. The intel is complete once the three chests are opened in sequence.

Why Did Disguised Toast Get Banned?

Popular video game streamer Disguised Toast has received a temporary ban from the streaming platform Twitch today for ‘Unmoderated Hateful Conduct’ during his live stream. 

While the exact reason behind his ban hasn’t been made clear by Twitch, the streamer suspects that it might be the result of one of his old Twitch clips showing a toxic player using the F-slur on him. 

Disguised Toast Twitch Ban

Toast informed his fans regarding the ban in a Tweet today.

“Got a temp ban from Twitch,” he said. “Not a big deal since I don’t usually stream there but does mean I have to avoid playing with any friends streaming for a few days.”

https://twitter.com/DisguisedToast/status/1386180987449577473?s=20

The ban shouldn’t cause many inconveniences to Toast since he primarily streams on Facebook Gaming. The OfflineTV star had signed an exclusive deal with Facebook Gaming after he rose to fame through his Hearthstone streams. His fellow Twitch streamers, however, won’t be able to play with him for a while due to the Twitch policies restricting streamers to play with banned users.

The exact duration of this temporary ban isn’t clear as of yet.

Titanfall 2 reaches its highest all-time player count on Steam

Titanfall 2 reaches its highest all-time player count on Steam

A sequel to Respawn Entertainment’s 2014 title Titanfall, Titanfall 2 came out 2 years later and had a rough launch as it released just a week after Battlefield, and a week before Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, while Titanfall 2 sold well, it simply couldn’t compete with two already established and popular franchises and as a result, Respawn shifted its focus onto different projects and went on to work on Apex Legends which soon became one of the most successful battle-royale titles.

Titanfall 2’s campaign was well-received due to its unique and memorable level design, set-pieces and story, while its multiplayer was a great stand-in for some casual and fun experience with both its PvP and PvE modes.

Titanfall 2 reached a new peak player count of 16,958 players on Steam after an all-time low price after being discounted at 75% off on the platform. Titanfall 2 came to steam in the summer of last year and was 67% at launch which resulted in a high player count of 13,427 players, excluding EA’s Origin platform. 

This boost in the player count is also partly due to Apex Legends’ Legacy update which introduces us to a new legend Kairi “Valkyrie” Imahara, the daughter of Viper from Titanfall 2. Season 9 will also have direct references to other characters and lore from Titanfall.

Titanfall 2 and Apex Legends are available on Steam and EA Origin.
