OG partners up with BMW Esports, Heroes of Rivalry Manga revealed

OG has partnered up with BMW Esports for their United in Rivalry Campaign alongside other teams like Cloud9, Fnatic, T1, FunPlus Phoenix, and G2 Esports who have already been partners with the motorsport company for a year now. 

On Wednesday, BMW Esports had desired to expand their “United in Rivalry” campaign roster by adding a team that isn’t ventured in League of Legends Esports. They were finally able to accomplish the latter by signing Dota 2 giants and 2 X Ti winners OG to their United in Rivalry family. OG would now be able to use the BMW brand alongside their merchandise while competing in their official matches. The contract details weren’t shared by either of the sides. 

Stefan Ponikva, Vice President Brand Experience BMW added, 

OG Esports is giving the United in Rivalry family another boost. As well as League of Legends, we are now also involved in Dota 2 – and with an absolutely top team. This is another step towards realizing our vision of immersing ourselves deep in the pop culture of Esports and expanding our involvement in this unique scene with a very specific language, and specific references and symbols.

In addition to this, OG alongside Cloud9, Fnatic, T1, FunPlus Phoenix, G2 Esports would feature in the upcoming manga dubbed as “Heroes of Rivalry” created by Acky Bright, a Japanese Artist. This manga would feature the above-mentioned partnered teams act like superheroes who would take up challenges in a fantasy environment where they would have to go through fictional situations.

The Manga series would comprise eight episodes in total and will be released on the social media channels of BMW and BMW.com as well.

Valorant: Players report FPS issues post 2.05 and 2.06 patch updates

Ever since Valorant evolved from its beta phase in June 2020, Riot has left no stone unturned when it comes to polishing their FPS project with new content and regular game updates. In fact, today’s the day when Riot released Valorant, while the latter was still in its beta phase and had been previously dubbed as ‘Project A’.

But even after a year, sudden FPS drops would still continue to haunt the game developers and have been a nightmare to find a fix for. Irrespective of the fact that whichever hardware you use to make everything tick, occasional Frame rate issues are bound to arise. The recent deployments of Patches 2.05 and 2.06 have reportedly created havoc for some of the players as they have been facing the above-mentioned FPS drops while playing the game.

Luckily Reddit user “mackfan” had come up with a fix that addressed the issue to be a part of your CPU affinity. The recent 2.06 patch might have triggered the game to use just 1 out of 4 available CPU cores and that might be the reason behind the constant hindering. Do follow the steps added below if you’re still facing the above-mentioned issue. Before you make the changes, do note that this fix has been quite old and doesn’t guarantee to resolve the same. But the developers have acknowledged the recent bugs and intend to fix them asap. 

How to fix the FPS issue in Valorant?

  • Launch Valorant, and minimize the game
  • Open your Task Manager (by right-clicking the Windows Task Bar and clicking “Task Manager”)
  • Click “More Details”, and select the “Processes” tab
  • Right-click Valorant, and select “Go to details”
  • Right-click “VALORANT-WIN64-Shipping.exe”, and select “Set Affinity”
  • A window will pop up showing which CPU threads are currently enabled for Valorant.
  • If they’re all checked, this fix probably doesn’t apply to you. If there’s only a couple checked off and everything else is unchecked? Check the box “<All Processors>” and click OK.
  • Repeat steps #5 and #6, but on “VALORANT.exe”

PUBG Mobile Pro ‘INTZ Goodzin’ banned for racist comments

PUBG Mobile Esports has banned the Brazilian pro player ‘Goodzin’ for using racist terms while referring to another player in an interview. Goodzin represents INTZ Esports in PMPL: Brazil and has received a ban of one year from competitive PUBG Mobile for this act.

INTZ Goodzin used inappropriate terms condemned as racist in an interview. The interview took place after the matches of PMPL: Brazil on 4th April. This act was instantly addressed by the esports team of PUBG Mobile and the player was suspended for one year. Article 6.3.3 of PMPL Brazil Regulation was referred to take this action and it states the following:

“Team Members may not offend the dignity or integrity of a country, private person or group of people through contemptuous, discriminatory or denigrating words or actions on account of race, skin color, ethnic, national or social origin, gender, language, religion, political opinion or any other opinion, financial status, birth or any other status, sexual orientation or any other reason.”

Goodzin will be barred from playing in any official PUBG Mobile tournaments for a year as the punishment is effective immediately, the player won’t be able to participate in any further matches of PMPL: Brazil.

Such stringent actions were taken for players of Loops Esports last time for flaunting the competitive rules and staging an in-game mini protest. The team was unable to play in PMGC but this time, INTZ can play the matches with a tweaked roster.

Blast Premier Spring Showdown match-ups determined, Extra Salt’s Europe Debut

Blast on Twitter have revealed the list of match-ups for their upcoming Premier Spring Showdown Tournament. 

This tournament would feature the teams who were unable to get past the Groups along with those who qualified through a plethora of qualifiers, with the former been played earlier in February, then dubbed as “Blast Premier Spring Groups” which consisted of three groups each filled with 4 partnered teams. 

The upcoming showdown event is set to be played from April 13-18 with 16 teams battling for the remaining two spots at the Spring finals event. Today on Twitter, the schedule was revealed for the former event and the fixtures have been determined according to every team’s seedlings on the table. 

The matchups for the event are as follows: 

Tuesday, April 13

  • Astralis vs. OG 4:00 PM IST
  • G2 vs. Endpoint 7:00 PM IST
  • Liquid vs. Dignitas 10:00 PM IST

Wednesday, April 14

  • Spirit vs. Extra Salt 4:00 PM IST
  • Gambit vs. NASR 7:00 PM IST
  • FURIA vs. MIBR 10:00 PM IST

Thursday, April 15

  • Heroic vs. SAW 7:00 PM IST
  • Vitality vs. 9z 10:00 PM IST

Teams to look out for

Extra Salt 

The former Cloud9 quartet found themselves a new home at Extra Salt but eventually Ian “motm” Hardy was placed on the bench, making way for Edgar “MarKE” to the active lineup. With the addition of the latter, ES went on to win the DreamHack Masters Spring 2021 in North America followed by their triumph at the VENN Invitational, the qualifier for the Blast Spring showdown. Despite their successful showings in the North American region, the ultimate European challenge awaits them where they would be put under test. 

Vitality

Since the start of 2021, the Frenchman have seemed to be running on low fuel with not so colossal performances from the tournaments they competed in. The best they have played till now would be the Blast Global Finals where they placed third after going down to Natus Vincere in the Consolidation final. This was indeed followed by the ESL Pro League Season 13 where they were just able to grab 2 wins out of their five matchups, one against FaZe Clan and the other against Mousesports. 

OG Esports

After a trophy-less year, the European mixture decided to shuffle their roster by moving Nathan “NBK-“ Schmitt and Issa “ISSAA” Murad to the bench. At the end of their EPL journey with just 2 wins from five matches, the team parted ways with ISSAA but they did compete at the former tournament with Nikolaj “niko” Kristensen as the replacement for NBK-.
Lately, there have been reports about OG trialling Michał “MICHU” Müller and Shahar “flameZ” Shushan for their fifth player slot and are soon expected to release their judgement. flameZ undoubtedly has been the prospect with an alluring potential alongside MICHU who last played for Team Envy before the latter decided to put their CSGO division on hold.

Catch the action live on Blast’s Twitch.tv channel.

VCT Stage 2 Europe: All you need to know about Challengers 1 closed qualifier

The open qualifier event for Valorant Champions Tour’s Stage 2 Challengers 1 in Europe has concluded and we have our top 8 teams from the qualifier who have progressed onto the closed qualifier event, scheduled to be held from April 6-9.

  • Acend 
  • Opportunists
  • FunPlus Phoenix Esports
  • Alliance
  • Team Vitality
  • Guild Esports
  • Ninjas in Pyjamas 
  • Team Heretics

The open qualifier in Europe saw a couple of S-tier teams that were unable to qualify for the next stage i.e the Challengers event as the former is deemed to be brutal, featuring back-to-back matches right from the RO128. Fnatic, G2 Esports, and Team Liquid were among those who weren’t able to progress through their brackets despite having top-notch squads. Teams like Alliance, Guild, and Opportunists surprisingly rose to dominance and eventually qualified for the Challengers in a flawless shot. 

The European Challengers 1 event is already underway with the fixtures already determined by the event organizer which have been attached below. 

  • Acend Vs Ninjas In Pyjamas 
  • Guild Esports Vs Alliance
  • Team Heretics Vs Opportunists 
  • FPX Esports Vs Team Vitality

Unlike the Challengers 1 event in North America, teams in Europe won’t be bearing a chance to go through a double-elimination bracket, which means a single BO3 would decide their fate in the competition. The top 2 teams qualify for the Challengers Final event while the ones eliminated would have to re-enter via the Challengers 2 event, an open qualifier event just like the first iteration of the same.

Boycott Genshin Impact Explained

The #BoycottGenshinImpact hashtag is rapidly gaining traction on social media platforms like Twitter, and a lot of people are wondering why are players looking to boycott the open-world RPG title by miHoYo all of a sudden. If you’re unaware about the reasons behind this call for boycotting Genshin Impact, we have you covered.

The controversies primarily started when a video from October 2020 resurfaced, showing that miHoYo had used indigenous people as reference for their Hillchurls’ animations and dances scattered across the game’s world.

This raised several questions from the Genshin Impact player base, a portion of whom accused the developers of racism.

Mentions of pedophilia in Genshin Impact have also been pointed out by the players while raising demands to boycott the title. Flora, who is an underaged NPC in the game’s world, is mentioned by another NPC, Ulfr, who claims to be in love with her.

Needless to say, these issues, alongside other major problems like account security have led to fans across the world boycotting the game on social media platforms.

MiHoYo has yet to release a statement regarding these accusations.
