Addison Rae is a popular TikToker whose fame comes from her dance moves, having tried to enter the gaming/streaming community once before resulted in her getting some serious backlash, that as it seems have done little to demotivate her from playing with popular streamers.
During a stream, Tommyinnit found Rae hanging out in the Dream SMP’s Discord general channel. She is not someone who is regular on the server so it begged the question that why was she there. Fans were quick with multiple speculations, with most hinting towards collaboration with Minecraft streamers, after her Among Us foray went south. The reaction from the fans was far from last time, most took her presence lightly and seemed okay with the fact that she will be playing with their favorite streamers.
Addison Rae didn’t provide much details about her involvement, but she did ignore an invite from Tommyinnit before calling him a “d*ckh*ad”. Probably not how Tommy expected his stream to turn out, but if Rae will be joining them in the future, it might potentially bring a plethora fans over from TikTok to Twitch/YouTube, mutually helping both platforms in their growth.
Lots of people find gaming cool so its only natural everyone wants a piece of the fame that it brings. It holds a large potential untapped markets that can bring an influx of followers even for someone like Addison Rae, who already boasts over 75 million and 34 million followers on TikTok and Instagram respectively.

Respawn Entertainment was forced to postpone their Apex Legends Winter Circuit’s first online tournament due to a plethora of reports stating constant server crashes. The Tournament was initially scheduled to kick off from January, 17th but has now been pushed to run from 29th Jan till the month-end.
We’ve made the decision to postpone Winter Circuit OT # 1. We’ll provide another update next week as we handle rescheduling. For now, the next tournament, previously called Winter Circuit OT # 2, will be the first tournament of the Winter Circuit on Jan 29-31.
These crashes are believed to have inculcated unexpected errors in the game since the release of the new “Fight Night Update” These errors in due course have turned out to be the real criminals behind the server crashes. With the casual lobbies experiencing these errors, the players competing at the tournament might hit a similar fate as others.
The Fight Night patch was pushed into the game on 5th Jan. Since then, complaints regarding the crashes started to swarm in before the developers patched the game with two new hotfixes, one on the 7th and another in the next week, on 14th.
Additionally, the patch also provides a fix for the following:
🔸 Issues with event skins "Haute Drop" and "Gold Standard" 🔸Errors with clicking on Steam friends list 🔸Text chat issues with Steam 🔸Several Clubs-related issues
The currently postponed schedule should have gained more time for the developers to take a look upon these crashes and come up with a permanent fix for the same.

In what comes as a series of disappointing news for fans of the genre, Capcom has announced the cancellation of Capcom Cup 2020 after it was initially postponed to February 19th.

Fans aren’t too happy regarding Capcom’s decision, with many of them claiming that Street Fighter 5 isn’t “playable” online due to ping issues and other variables that could otherwise be eliminated by holding the tournament offline.
A portion of the fans have also shown support to Capcom’s decision to cancel an offline event during this time of the pandemic, which is understandable, since there would have been a possibility of fans contracting the disease when visiting the venue.
Sagar ‘Maxtern’ Thakur seems to have deleted his Twitter account. According to his own statement, he will follow this up by deleting his Instagram account on January 19, 2021.
The popular PUBG Mobile content creator had teased and hinted at a big announcement between January 15 to January 19, 2021, boasting that he would delete his social media accounts if the announcement doesn’t actually happen.
However, Maxtern has chosen to delete his Twitter before his self-set deadline, which perhaps hints that the announcement is not coming or has been delayed once again.
For people unaware, Maxtern had reported an incoming announcement on Christmas regarding PUBG Mobile and the current claim was also rumoured to be regarding the same game.
The PUBG Mobile content creator also alerted his fans and followers of a potential impostor, stating that he had not made a new account and that his handle remains @RealMaxtern.
PUBG Mobile has teased its return to the Indian Market since Diwali in 2020. However, there has been no positive update since, with the Indian enthusiasts still left in limbo over a tentative return date for the mega hit mobile esports title.
Maxtern’s claim would have given his fans and PUBG Mobile lovers some hope. But, the hopes would have taken another hit after the content creator all but confirmed that his claim is not set to come true, at least within the time frame he had given as part of his bold statement.

The former Ninjas in Pyjamas star will also be bidding farewell to his long-standing partnership with fellow Counter-Strike legend Patrik ‘f0rest’ Lindberg, which he described as “the biggest highlight” of his career. The duo had been playing competitive CS together since Alesund joined Fnatic in 2009.
Luckily, it seems like GeT_RiGhT won’t be leaving Counter-Strike anytime soon. “I grew up in the scene and I’ll do anything it takes to help it grow,” he said in the interview.
While Alesund’s plans for his upcoming Twitch career is still uncertain, the 2014 major winner will be looking to continue exploring different games like League of Legends or Warzone. Alesund has also confirmed that he’s “not going to become a professional Valorant player.” However, he has claimed that Riot’s shooter holds the potential to overtake CSGO in the future.
Call of Duty Mobile is undoubtedly one of the best shooters available to play on phones right now. Originally released in October 2019, the Activision title has managed to retain its popularity even after a year. The developers behind COD Mobile have also made sure to keep the player base engaged by shipping out more and more updates to the game on a regular basis. Today, we’re gonna take a look at emotes in COD Mobile and how players can use them.
What are emotes in COD Mobile?
Emotes are celebratory dances that can be executed in-game at a player’s will. Emotes are generally used to brag in front of your enemy after getting a kill.
How to use emotes in COD Mobile?
To be able to use emotes in-game, players have to equip them first from the main menu.
To do so, go to Loadout and head to the Customisation menu. There, you’ll find a number of emotes to choose from. Once you’ve selected which emote to pick, simply equip it by clicking on the bottom right Equip button.
Once you’re in-game and have gotten a fancy kill against an enemy, you can select the thumbs-up icon at the top of your screen to open the emotes and spray menu and select the emote you want to execute.
