League of Legends veteran ‘Kuro’ retires

Lee ‘Kuro’ Seo-haeng has announced his decision to retire from the competitive League of Legends scene. The 26-year-old, who has been a part of the scene since 2014, has finally hung his boots, or in this case, his mouse, mousepad and headphone after an undesirable stint with KT Rolster last season.

The Korean organisation failed to qualify for the League of Legends World Championship in 2020, finishing 6th in the regular season of LCK and even finished last in the Regional Finals, losing 3-0 to Afreeca Freecs.

Kuro’s best season as a midlaner came when he was part of the ROX Tigers team in 2016. The organisation were favourites for the 2016 League of Legends World Championship but fell short to LoL powerhouse SKT in a best-of-five in the semifinals.

Kuro may be bidding the competitive scene adieu, but only as a player as per his statement. The 26-year-old is ready to take the up mantle of being a coach but only after he has completed his military service.

Illegal Chinese Betting Websites are a Cause of Growing Concern for the League of Legends Scene

Betting websites and esports have a long history of conflicts. From professionals intentionally throwing games in tournaments by betting against themselves to players claiming they were offered large sums of money to fix games, we have seen it all.

This time, League of Legends pro Kim “Olleh” Joo-sung has spoken up about illegal Chinese betting websites that have become a cause of growing concern in the League of Legends scene.

According to the former Team Liquid star, these illegal Chinese betting websites allow users to bet on professional players’ solo queue games for wins and losses, which has led to many pros intentionally throwing games to make themselves some quick cash.

Olleh further claimed that Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok, the most popular League of Legends player, is the biggest victim of websites like those. Due to his overwhelming popularity as a player and a streamer, an extremely high number of users can be seen betting on his matches to earn money off them.

Olleh then requested Riot Games to take action regarding this issue. “In Korea, Starcraft 1 got literally f**ked up by those people in the pro scene,” the 24-year-old said. “I am worried that the same thing will happen in the League scene.”

Furthermore, the possibility of illegal websites like these existing outside the Chinese landscape can’t be eliminated either. As Olleh stated, should there exist illegal betting websites like these that allow users to bet on professional players’ solo queue games, it might be seriously threatening the League of Legends esports scene in the long run.

New Valorant Agent Teased on Icebox

Strange footsteps visuals have been reported by a player while scrimming on the new Icebox map that was released by Riot a month ago. These visuals might lead to a potential Agent tease by the game developer.

As reported earlier by ginx.tv, Riot might add a new agent to Valorant’s 13 Agents roster. It’s been a month since the release of the new map, Icebox which was followed by the unveiling of the new healer Agent, ‘Skye’ 20 days later.

The current Valorant 1.14 patch not only did bring in some massive changes including buffs and matchmaking updates but has also given the players an early opportunity to investigate the teaser of this new upcoming agent.

Persona 5 Strikers is a hack and slash role-playing video game developed by Omega Force and P-Studio for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 The game is a crossover between Koei Tecmo’s Dynasty Warriors and Atlus’s Persona franchises and is set six months after the events of the critically acclaimed Persona 5 which was released in 2016.

Persona 5 Strikers follows the story of the main protagonist Joker and the rest of the crew of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts as they investigate a series of mysterious events involving people across Japan.

It was first released in Japan in February 2020, with a worldwide release scheduled for February 2021 which will also include a PC port for the first time.

Man buys PS5 on eBay for $1000 and gets a concrete block in the box

The fans worldwide are frantically looking for ways to score the latest console from Sony and as such many are falling victim to scams in the hope of getting the PlayStation 5 console.

With Christmas right around the corner, the demand for the PS5 is touching new highs every day. Due to exceptional demand and no sign of an increase in supply, many are left with no option other than contacting a second-hand seller on sites like eBay.

Even though sellers on these sites are charging more than double the price, fans are still foolishly shelling-out hundreds of dollars for the console. Scammers soon took notice of the craze around the PS5 launch and flooded the sites with fake listings of PS5 consoles trying to earn a quick buck while scamming several desperate people.

According to a report by Fox 13, a man from Utah looking to purchase a used PlayStation 5 on eBay was scammed by a seller who sent him a concrete block inside the package instead of the PS5. The worst thing about this incident is that the man paid almost $1,000 on this piece of brick that hardly costs a dollar.

While the local police of Utah said the person should get back his hard-earned money because of the various protections placed by eBay for the buyers, they warned the buyers to be careful while purchasing anything from an unknown origin as not everyone is lucky enough to get back their hard-earned money.

Recently another case of fraud where sellers who were trying to sell PS5 pictures instead of the consoles had angered eBay. Later the site promised its users that they will surely crackdown on such listings and taking legal against such sellers.

eBay released a statement at the end of November saying:

We condemn these opportunistic sellers who are attempting to mislead other users.

We are in the process of removing all listings for photos of PS5s from our marketplace and will be taking appropriate action against the sellers. For any purchase, but especially highly-priced or in-demand items, buyers should exercise caution and thoroughly read the listing description. Buyers who receive an item which is not as described are entitled to a refund via our eBay Money Back Guarantee, provided they completed the transaction on the eBay platform.
