At the A.W Extreme Masters, they went head to head against the First Strike Champions, Vision strikers led by Lee ‘k1Ng’ Seung-won and his men where they were nearly eliminated by the former.

Free Fire: How to play character Chrono

Free Fire is a popular battle-royale mobile game with a large player base around the world. This game is slightly different than any other titles in this genre. Free Fire has a big pool of characters and each of them have unique abilities that can assist the users in different ways. It is very important to understand how each character works if you are going to use it as your main one.

Free Fire has recently announced their huge collaboration with Football star Cristiano Ronaldo. Such a big news was bound to be celebrated and as a result, Free Fire announced a complete season with the theme of ‘Operation Chrono’. CR7 based character named ‘Chrono’ is coming to the game and several events linked to it have already started taking place.

How to play Cristiano Ronaldo (Cr7) Character In Free Fire

Chrono will be the latest addition to the pool of Free Fire characters and it can be considered as one of the best characters for certain situations. This character might not match the potential of already existing characters like DJ Alok or Captain Booyah (K) but its unique kit presents a different opportunity for players to make some incredible outplays.

Free Fire Chrono Character Ability

Chrono’s ability is known as Time-Turner and its description reads, “[It] Creates a force field that blocks 600 damage from enemies. Movement speed increases by 15%. During the skill activation period, allies in the force field receive a 10% speed bonus. Lasts 10s. 50s cooldown.”

This description is about the base level of this skill and the stats will change as one upgrades this ability. It is pretty much self-explanatory where Chrono will gain a movement speed boost of 15% and can block the receiving damage by 600 points. This force field will last for 10 seconds at base level.

This is an insane boost that can turn the tables in dire situations. If a Chrono user is on your team and you are fighting on the edge of play zone, you can activate the Chrono’s ability to help them sustain the damage and the movement speed buff can help to quickly reposition or enter the zone at the correct moment.

There are several ways through which you can use Chrono so we recommend you to experiment with this character and learn how it works and use it to its full potential by mastering him.

Father murders 7-week-old child in rage for interrupting during videogame

0

A 23 year old gaming addict who had been sentenced to 9 years in jail last year after he killed in his 7 week old son in a fit of rage while playing on his PlayStation, could walk free after just 5 years behind the bars.

Joseph William McDonald, then 22, has been charged with 9 years in Jail with a non parole period of a little over 6 and a half years, of which he has already served a year. Having been frustrated while playing a PlayStation game, he hit out at his baby and caused injuries to his spine and head. He could not be revived on time and passed away 5 days later at the Monash Children’s Hospital in Melbourne, Australia.

“The noise of Lucas crying because he was in the same lounge room, was interrupting his game … he couldn’t concentrate on his game,” Lucas’ grandmother Sharon Mills said. “He couldn’t play his game, so he broke.”

McDonald, who was arrested shortly after he fled, has pleaded guilty to a single count of child homicide. Justice Kaye of the Victoria Supreme Court, who pronounced the sentence, said ” It is important that the sentence which I impose on you is sufficient to ensure that you yourself learn that any further violence of the kind in which you engaged in this case will be met with severe consequences.”

McDonald’s lawyers say he needs help to address his anger management issues, cannabis use and addiction to violent video games. He appeared at the Supreme Court in person today where he pleaded guilty to child homicide and is facing up to 20 years in jail.

Just Error Dota 2 team to disband after one tournament

Just Error’s roster is set to disband after one tournament despite being offered a contract from a top-tier European organization. The deal fell through as the players were skeptical about reaching the top level with this line-up.

Just Error was brought the core of Virtus pro in captain Alexey “Solo” Berezin, Vladimir “No[o]ne” Minenko and Bakyt “Zayac” Emilzhanov to join RAMZES. The squad was squared off by Syed “SumaiL” Hassan, a player desired by everyone in the line-up, especially RAMZES.

However, despite the potential, Roman “RAMZES666” Kushnarev confirmed that they were parting ways because they were not confident in their ability to play as a team. The language barrier, time zone, ping issues, and lack of practice were some of the hurdles that gave rise to this lack of confidence.

“As I have said in many interviews, the first idea to play with Sumail appeared last year after International, but then I already agreed with EG, and we did not work out,”. “A couple of months ago, after the Omega League, we decided to try again.” expressed RAMZES on his desire to make it work with SumaiL.

“We did not want to let down our new organization, to bind ourselves with contracts and unnecessary obligations in a situation where we were not 100% confident in ourselves and our teammates,” “We can say that this is the end of the story of Just Error.” said RAMZES about the contract offered.

The European organization organization was turned down by the roster as they were unsure about delivering. Being bound to contract means they will have to stick together for an indefinite period despite their differences. The separated players will be looking for a new home post disbanding.
