Esports to be a medaled sport in the 2022 Asian Games

The gap between esports and more traditional forms of sports is getting narrower day by day and the decision to name it a medaled sport in Asian Games has made it closer than ever. The Asian Electronic Sports Federation (AESF) confirmed that Hangzhou Asian Games Organizing Committee with the China Olympic Committee has proposed the inclusion of esports in the 2022 Asian Games.

With this, esports is set to become an official medal event in the 2022 Asian Games, making it one of the biggest steps in generalizing esports around the world.

“Proposed during the 39th OCA General Assembly, the approval is certainly great news for the esports scene, in particular, the Asian esports community. This outcome is a step forward in the right direction as the esports community has been striving hard for the past few years is not only bringing esports into the mainstream limelight but also a step closer to the biggest stage of all, the Olympics.” read the statement from AESF.

South Korea in particular has a more rewarding outcome for participating in the 2022 Asian Games as winning a gold medal means pardon from military service for esports competitors.

The lineup of titles for the 2022 Asian Games is still up for debate. The organizers are still deciding upon the games with League of Legends being the most anticipated title to be played. 2022 Asian Games will take place in Hangzhou, China between September 10th and 25th.

New Valorant Agent ‘Agent 14’ Will Be A Duelist, Riot Confirms

In a recent blog post made by Riot Games on their website, the developers behind Valorant have revealed their upcoming plans regarding the agents in Valorant. Here is all we know about the new Valorant Agent 14.

The most interesting part of this new blog post is perhaps the announcement that the next Valorant agent is going to be a Duelist. 

For the unaware, there are currently 4 types of Valorant agents – Duelists, Sentinels, Controllers, and Initiators. Duelists are generally self-sufficient fraggers who their team expects, through abilities and skills, to get high frags and seek out engagements.

As of now, there are 4 Duelists, 3 Initiators, 3 Controllers & 3 Sentinels in the competitive shooter.

The silhouette of this upcoming Valorant agent has already been leaked, and the agent is rumored to be codenamed ‘Stealth’.

Valorant New Agent Leaks

“The year will tear open with a Duelist for all you ‘lurkers’ out there, who will keep you on your toes around which angles are truly safe,” said John Goscicki, Character Producer of Valorant.

A ‘lurker’ can certainly spice the gameplay up in Valorant by forcing the player base to formulate new strategies and tactics to counter the 14th agent in the title.

The new agent is likely to land at the beginning of 2021, alongside the release of Episode 2 on January 11th.

PUBG Mobile India APK Download Permissions Not Granted by MEITY

PUBG Mobile India is facing a huge roadblock on its way to make a comeback in India. The game announced its return about a month ago and since then, it was never officially released. The reason of this delay has been clarified by a query filed through RTI which states that the approval is still pending.

Gem Esports published a post on their social media handle which shed a light on the current state of PUBG Mobile India. As per the post, The Central Public Information Officer(CPOI) has responded to the query filed through a RTI (Right To Information) regarding the return of PUBG Mobile India.

The response stated is as follows, “MEITY has not given any permission for launch of PUBG.” The snippet of the query filed is given below:

Credits: Gem Esports

Earlier, reports already revealed that PUBG Mobile India was not being approved by the IT ministry of India and now, an official confirmation of this revelation has surfaced. This means that PUBG Mobile India still has to tackle a major issue before fully launching the game in India.

PUBG Mobile was banned by MeitY in India three months ago along with hundreds of other Chinese apps. The reason was that user data and privacy were at risk and hence, this strict action was taken. After almost two months, PUBG Corp. rekindled the hopes of PUBG Mobile fans in India with its official comeback.

This return was followed with tons of announcement and developments that hinted that the game is progressing in a positive direction and its return was right around the corner but now, the story has changed. PUBG Mobile India might take a long time before officially getting released in India.

It is based on the fact that since the main MeitY approval is pending for now, the other proceedings required to fully launch and operate the game in India will be subsequently delayed. PUBG Mobile India officials have not revealed any new piece of information till date.

Among Us tops Nintendo Switch’s Bestsellers List In Under 24 Hours

To call the console launch of ‘Among Us’ a massive success would be nothing short of an understatement. It looks like the social deduction game involving stealth and deception received an overwhelming response from its console player base shortly after its release on the Nintendo Switch yesterday, and the numbers seem to agree.

In under 24 hours since its Nintendo Switch release, Among Us soared through the charts to become the #1 best selling game on Switch. The news was confirmed by the developers themselves through a tweet.

This doesn’t come as a surprise for most of us, though. Considering the widespread popularity of its PC and Mobile versions, it could easily be expected that the sales of the title would skyrocket when it finally made its way to the consoles.

Another reason behind its successful launch lies in the fact that the console version would support crossplay with the PC and Mobile versions, which means that players would have complete freedom to play with their friends regardless of what platform they were on.
