Valorant, Riot’s FPS, has been a resonating success since its release in 2020, thanks to its unique blend of tactical shooting mechanics and ability-based gameplay along with a wide selection of incredible-looking cosmetics that entice the player-base to grind the game out.

The set was thoughtfully re-imagined in its design and gun selection, which boasts not just a Phantom but also a karambit-style melee. Upon the game’s transition from the Beta, the Prime Skin Bundle went on to be one of the most famous cosmetic contents in the game. This skin does bear heavy modifications to the Vandal which implants it with a silver magazine, black stock, and gold highlights along with a different fire sound and special animations.

The second episode of Act 2 brings you a brand new battle pass and along with it comes the Prime 2.0 collection, the second iteration of the same. Priced at 7100 VP Valorant Points, the bundle features 5 weapons, listed below:

Phantom (4 Variants, 4 Levels)

Frenzy (4 Variants, 4 Levels)

Odin (4 Variants, 4 Levels)

Bucky (4 Variants, 4 Levels)

Prime 2.0 Melee Knife (1 Variant, 2 Levels)

Those who missed out on the previous version of the Prime bundle may grab this opportunity to claim this bundle from the In-game store at 7100 VP Valorant Points.

Sodapoppin quits GTA RP server No Pixel 3.0

Popular roleplay streamer Sodapoppin has decided to quit the GTA Role Play server No Pixel 3.0 after his character’s obligations were too overwhelming for him to carry out.

GTA RP let players become another person and write their own story in the city of Los Santos. Chance ‘Sodapoppin’ Morris is one of the most popular RP streamers out there and His character, Kevin Whipaloo is involved with businesses on the server besides being the Floor Manager at Diamond Resort and Casino.

All these obligations were too much for him to handle to the point when he felt burned out and wanted to take a break from this altogether.

“The devs are insanely good. The fault is mainly on me. I simply put myself in a position of serious obligations. It got overwhelming to the point where I don’t enjoy it anymore. I overestimated myself, and I don’t like it anymore. It’s too much. I like doing stupid things. I like dumb RP. I like playing with a lot of my friends outside of RP.” said Sodapoppin.

Sodapoppin’s fans will have to enjoy World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade Classic till his inevitable return. Given the loyalty of his fanbase, they will enjoy everything he streams any day of the week.

Bermuda Remastered map is added back in Free Fire

Free Fire is reintroducing their most frequent addition to the map pool, the Remastered Bermuda map. This is an in-game map in the battle-royale mode which was added recently after hyping it up for a long time but unfortunately, it was added for a small time. This time, the map makes a comeback yet again for a short time.

Remastered Bermuda was added to the game on 1st January 2021 and it was meant to replace the older version of this map, the famous Bermuda map but due to some reasons, both maps were added simultaneously. This newer version of the map features some territorial changes alongside a slightly altered terrain but the core of this map and famous locations stay the same.

Recently, Garena announced that the Remastered Bermuda map will be added back to the game for next week. It will be only available in two modes and cannot be played in ranked or normal BR matches for now.

The Remastered Bermuda is a better version of Bermuda but due to some stability issues, the map has not been permanently added to the game. The developers are working to bring out the most stabilized version of this map and hence, we could see it permanently in Free Fire within the next few months.

For now, Free Fire Remastered Bermuda has added to Deathmatch and Clash Squad mode and it will be available till 7th March so make sure to grab this opportunity and play it to the fullest before it is removed.

Ethan switches to Valorant, signs up with 100 Thieves

100 Thieves on Twitter have announced the addition of Ethan “⁠Ethan⁠” Arnold to their Valorant Division. 

Evil Genuises’s Ethan has transitioned his FPS career as a professional Valorant for 100 Thieves, the 20year-old North American announced today through a TwitLonger, which was indeed short, describing the former’s decision on his switch.

Formerly of NRG, Ethan and Co were acquired by Evil Geniuses back in September 2019. Under EG, he steered his team to their first ever championship at the ESL One New York 2019 followed by StarSeries i-League Season 8, cs_summit 6 and ESL One Cologne 2020 in North America. Earlier during his time at NRG, the team went on to win IEM Shanghai 2018 and cs_summit 3 under the leadership of Damian ‘daps’ Steele who was later replaced by Peter ‘stanislaw’ Jarguz. In 2019, HLTV.org recognized him as the 19th best player in the world after his heroics at a plethora of events in the past.

At 100 Thieves, Ethan will be replacing Quan “dicey” Tran on the active roster and the same has also been reported by Jake ‘JakeSucky’ Lucky on Twitter. With Dicey’s departure from 100 Thieves, the latter team would now be needing Ethan to take upon the Jett/Operator role.

Ethan added, 

I will be leaving CS and officially moving over to Valorant starting today. I’ve met many people through CS that I can now call friends and I’m extremely grateful for that. I’ve also made unforgettable memories that some people could only dream of experiencing. The one thing I ask is if you’ve supported me this long, you follow me into the next chapter of my career and I promise I will not let you down. I’m excited for this new challenge and I can’t wait to give it my all over at 100Thieves.

With this addition, 100T are now:

  • Spencer “Hiko” Martin
  • Nicholas “nitr0” Cannella
  • Joshua “steel” Nissan
  • Peter “Asuna” Mazuryk
  • Ethan “Ethan” Arnold
  • Quan “dicey” Tran (Benched)
  • Hector “FrosT” Rosario (Head Coach)

While EG CS:GO are now down to 4 players:

  • Peter “⁠stanislaw⁠” Jarguz
  • Tarik “⁠tarik⁠” Celik
  • Vincent “⁠Brehze⁠” Cayonte
  • Tsvetelin “⁠CeRq⁠” Dimitrov
  • Brazil Wilton “⁠zews⁠” Prado (Head coach)

Gambit Esports win IEM Katowice 2021 even after a wobbly kick-off

IEM Katowice 2021 was full of surprises. Apparently, Virtus Pro was pretty robust since the starting of the tournament. However, no one expected Gambit in the final. The youngsters played really well during the whole tournament.

IEM Katowice 2021 Map Veto

  • Gambit Esports banned Inferno
  • Virtus Pro banned Nuke
  • Gambit picked Vertigo
  • VP picked Dust 2
  • Gambit picked Train
  • VP picked Overpass
  • Decider – Mirage

Vertigo (Gambit 14 – 16 Virtus Pro)

Gambit started the match with very aggressive gameplay and secured the first 3 rounds. Gambit’s devastating utility usage and aggressive gameplay combination worked until VP started playing out of the blue. Yekindar started playing aggressively and gifted VP a 9-6 first half.

Even though VP secured the pistol round in the second half, Gambit’s comeback was significant. Gambit managed to win 14 rounds when VP was on 11 rounds only. However, VP again started their intense comeback achieving a 16-14 win on Vertigo.

Dust 2 (Gambit 16 – 6 Virtus Pro)

After a nail-biting Vertigo, Gambit Esports came out of the blocks firing on all cylinders, Timofey ‘interz’ Yakushin and Dmitry ‘sh1ro‘ Sokolov combining for 29 raced to a 9-6 lead on the CT side of Dust2, VP’s map pick.

After such a promising comeback on their offense, though, VP simply ran out of gas as Gambit easily unlocked the former’s defense, converting the second half to a flawless wipe, securing Train in the process.

Train (Gambit 16 – 4 Virtus Pro)

Gambit went all guns blazing on Train and stormed to an 11-4 lead after holding VP at bay thanks to Abay ‘Hobbit‘ Khasenov who infiltrated the CT’s defense with his aggressive playstyle. Things were starting to look desperate for VP as the half reached its closing stages, but then the latter managed to stabilize and made the scoreline more respectful before the side switch.

The Vladislav ‘nafany’ Gorshkov led side then continued to chip away at VP’s terrors and won a chaotic pistol on their defense, but there would be no respite for VP who lost control of the game as Gambit eventually managed to go 2-1 up in the series thanks to Hobbit, who racked up 10 kills on his side’s defense.

Overpass (Gambit 16 – 12 Virtus Pro)

Even after a well-executed B-push, VP failed to win the pistol round against Gambit. The CT side of Gambit just smashed out VP with an 11-4 first half just like the previous map. Nafany was a pure gem during the whole match.

The second half was quite promising for VP as they started to comeback. However, Gambit managed to win the match 16-12 even after gifting a few easy rounds to VP.
