Stan Lee’s death 2 years ago left a void in the hearts of every Marvel fan. Fans who grew up reading Marvel comics in the past two decades hold him in the highest possible regard. He passed away on 12th November 2020 after being ill for a prolonged period, finally giving up to heart failure at the age of 95.
Stan Lee’s creation was shaped into movies and video games for the last two decades with each of them paying tribute to the legends in form of a swift cameo and Spider-Man: Miles Morales by Insomniac Games is no different.
To get the Best Fries in Town Trophy in Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, players have to look for a Stan Lee Statue on Upper West Side. It lies beside Mick’s Dinner in the central part of the Upper West Side.

Stan Lee upholds his cameo from the first installment of the game where he was the owner of the restaurant. His bronze statue beside Mick’s Diner commemorates his contributions. This cameo is different from his previous ones given as it captures the tragedy of his unfortunate passing and not his jovial side.
His last Marvel Movie sighting was in Avengers: End Game and couldn’t make it to the next movie Spiderman: Far From Home. Upcoming movies like Black Widow, Wanda Vision, and Dr. Strange: Multiverse of Madness won’t feature his cameo but will sure look for a way to pay homage to their creator.
India,18 November 2020 – Garena, the leading global online games developer and publisher based in Singapore, brought together millions of Indians to celebrate a #FreeFireDiwali in its latest “Light up Bermuda” campaign. Through a host of exciting events, including the launch of a new music video, a dance challenge, and a video series, alongside plenty of in-game activities, the localized campaign enabled the Indian community to celebrate this joyous festival from the comfort and safety of their own homes.

The celebrations continued with Diwali-themed features sprinkled throughout. This included “Happy Diwali” fireworks in Spawn Island, which certainly livened up the atmosphere.

It garnered a whopping 6 million views and was trending at #2 on YouTube within just a few hours.
#FreeFireDiwali dance challenge
Taking the festivities up a notch, Free Fire engaged superstar Indian choreographers and social media artistes like Melvin Louis, Awez Darbar, Shantanu Maheshwari, Nagma Mirajkar, Faisal Khan, and others,to perform the hook step of “Jeet” for the #FreeFireDiwali dance challenge. People were invited to join in the fun by uploading their own video on Instagram and tagging Free Fire. The challenge saw immense participation across the country as numerous people sent in entries of them grooving along to the rhythmic beat.
Free Fire also rolled out a series of three new entertaining sketches that light-heartedly highlighted different types of Diwali situations. The videos were widely appreciated and garnered over 2 million views.
The campaign also saw the launch of an action-packed video featuring some of Free Fire’s most-loved characters – Kelly, Moco, Hayato, and Maxim – who battle their way to something special.
Free Fire’s dedication towards its Indian community
The “Light Up Bermuda” campaign takes forward Garena’s efforts to entertain and engage the Free Fire Indian community with localised experiences specifically tailored to their preferences.
Some of the recent highlights include the introduction of Hindi in the game, streaming of esports tournaments in local languages, and the hosting of community engagement activities such as the YouTube influencers engagement party in Goa.
Free Fire has also previously launched two campaigns dedicated to the domestic players this year – a digital and outdoor campaign, #IndiaKaBattleRoyale, and an association with superstar Hrithik Roshan in the “Be The Hero” campaign last month.

PUBG Mobile is finally back in India and this comeback is huge for Krafton and its upcoming ventures. The company is making large amount of financial and logistical investments in the country and this can play a huge role if they are able to tap into the mobile gaming market that has been flourishing in the country for last few years.
Krafton Inc. is a South Korean video game holding company. The company was created to better align all its subsidiaries and itself under a unified brand and PUBG Corporation was one of the subsidiary. Recently, PUBG Corp. merged with Krafton and the entirety of latter was acquired by Krafton. This acquisition included PUBG and PUBG Mobile Korea and now, the PUBG Mobile India will fall under the same category.
Since the ban, Krafton was setting up perfectly for its return in India in the form of PUBG Corporation. The company started with severing its ties with Chinese conglomerate Tencent games for the region and then, assured the PUBG fans in India that the game will make a comeback soon.
After being silent for quite a while, Krafton made a collaboration announcement with Microsoft Azure to host its data, including PUBG Mobile. This strengthened the possibility of PUBG Mobile comeback in India and then, the final announcement came in where Krafton stated their full-scale return.
Apart from PUBG Mobile return, Krafton as a whole is entering India to set-up for a sustainable future in the country. The company revealed its plans to invest $100M in the country to contribute to the development of the Indian video game, esports, IT, and entertainment industries.
Krafton will establish a branch office in India and employ at least 100 people specializing in game development, business, and esports. This can be the company’s first step to set-up in India for a long haul. These investments will also largely contribute to the upcoming PUBG Mobile esports league in the country. This will be the first and biggest PUBG Mobile tournament with league structure exclusively formatted for India.
Krafton seemingly has big plans for the country and even though the entire roadmap of this large amount of investment is not clarified, the commitment itself can be considered as a testament to a bright future of PUBG Mobile in India.

Riot had previously confirmed in an episode of dev diaries that they were working on regional ranked leaderboards for their competitive shooter. It appears like the new feature may not be so distant after these regional top 100s were revealed today.
The second iteration of the official Valorant leaderboard for the APAC region is out and there are some interesting names featuring at the top100. How many Indian players in the list? Who is the best Valorant pro player of India? Let’s dig into it.
— VALORANT // India & South Asia (@playVALORANTsa) November 17, 2020
Jason ‘f0rsaken’ Susanto is 6th on the list. The 16-year-old is the brother of former TYLOO star Kevin ‘xccurate’ Susanto and currently plies his trade for Paper Rex in CSGO.
Another popular CSGO star that makes it to the top 100, at 28, is Ngo ‘crazyguy’ Anh Ngo, who spent a brief spell playing for Signify. The Vietnamese sniper-extraordinaire is now a retired csgo professional and is currently a part of Steal Your Glory’s Valorant roster.
India had just one representative in the first leaderboard for the APAC region and while the number has remained the same, Mohit ‘mw1’ Wakle is not the flagbearer anymore in the rankings.
It is Indian Valorant pro Tejas ‘Rite2Ace’ Sawant who enters the leaderboard. Rite2Ace is the best Radiant ranked Valorant player in India. He is ranked the 73rd on the list and hence, becomes the highest-ranked Indian on the Valorant APAC leaderboards, with mw1 coming in at 78 on the last list.
