Riot teases new agent and map for Valorant Act 3

Valorant patch 1.09 has just arrived a few days ago, and Riot has already started teasing upcoming content for their competitive shooter.

Due to patch 1.09 still being in its infancy, not much is known about what Riot had planned for the next big update. However, Riot has left a number of hints in their social media handles for their fans to “decode”.

The Act 2 of Valorant will end in the next few days, making way for the start of Act 3. Here’s what Riot Games have teased so far on the next big update.

The first major hint Riot gave was through a tweet on September 24th. Fans were asked, “Who’s on the bench?” with an attached video which no one could normally understand at first glance.

Fans were quick to figure out the meaning behind the tweet. The answer to the first question was revealed to be “Kench on the bench” which was written in Korean in the attached video, while the other phrases translated somewhere along the lines of “A look on the rise, River king

Discovered the place belonging to him.” Interestingly, “the rise” can point towards the map Ascent instead.

While investigating this “bench”, players found out a bench on the map ascent with a face of Kench on it. For the unaware, Tahm Kench is a champion in Riot’s MOBA title ‘League of Legends’.

This has led many to believe that the next act will bring in Kench as the new Valorant agent. Some are also arguing that Ascent might be undergoing changes in the upcoming update.

The next big hint came yesterday, and this time Riot threw a direct challenge at players to “decode this.” The tweet was attached with a similar cryptic picture.

The picture was soon translated through multiple languages by a fan.

This can hint to a winter-themed map being added to Valorant in Act 3, which is certainly exciting news as a snowy terrain can really spice things up in the shooter.

Earlier, Riot had revealed that the Act 3 will be introduced to Valorant on October 13th, so you’ll only have to wait a couple of days to find out what Riot has in store for us.

Dr Disrespect hints that he might know the reason for his controversial Twitch Ban

Dr Disrespect hints that he might know the reason for his controversial Twitch Ban

In a recent stream this week, Dr Disrespect answered some questions regarding his sudden Twitch Ban. Since his ban in June, Disrespect went radio silent to collect his thoughts and later came out with an explanation saying “he has no clue” on why he received the ban.

Dr Disrespect has since moved on to YouTube as his platform of choice to continue streaming where he is still pulling a considerable number of viewers every stream.

In a stream this week, Disrespect hinted that he may have a hint on why he received a ban, contradicting his earlier “no clue” statements. When asked by a viewer who identified himself as an “active duty Master Chief”, Dr Disrespect answered him with an analogy of how the Navy gets rid of big brass to make room for 3 new fresh recruits.

Basically, he meant that Twitch got rid of him because his salary was very large and the company could hire 3 less famous faces who didn’t cost as much.

With Ninja and Shroud also making their way back to Twitch, Disrespect’s analogy seems more on point. It is also weird how Twitch got rid of him just before Mixer crashed and closed, which might speculate that Twitch had insider info about Mixer closing down and streamers like Ninja and Shroud not being exclusive anymore.

With their former stars not being Exclusive anymore, Twitch made the move and hired them again before Facebook gaming or YouTube Gaming could approach them. So by getting rid of Dr Disrespect, Twitch freed up money to offer contracts to Ninja and Shroud.

This all is just speculation at this point as Dr Disrespect is under an NDA and can’t fully explain his side of the story.

Ninja calls Valorant “Unplayable”

Valorant has been facing some bugs and issues since the launch of the game but we saw Ninja posting on twitter that the game is currently unplayable.

He said that the game has been facing some glitches, connection issues as well as hackers in high ranked matches and is hoping for a fix by the developers soon.

Riot has been working quite actively in removing cheaters from the game and the Anti-Cheat Police Department recently tweeted saying that all the cheats from the game have been almost removed and the players should expect better matchmaking in almost all ranks.

One of the few glitches included Sova’s ultimate that Ninja also listed in his tweet and Riot shared that they will be fixing all the glitches in the next patch very soon.

Global Esports end VLT Gaming’s unbeaten record in Valorant

All good things come to an end. VLT Gaming endured through every match unbeaten up until now, bagging every title and trophy possible in Valorant. However, Global Esports has done the unthinkable, ending VLT’s unbeaten run in Valorant by inflicting a 2-0 defeat to their rivals.

The first map, Split, did go Global’s way 13-11. However, it was far from easy with Global made to toil for the win. Debanjan ‘ DeathMaker’ Das and Jayanth ‘skillZ’ Ramesh led the server in terms of kills on Split.

Ascent went down to the wire, with VLT Gaming mounting a comeback to level the scores and push the map into overtime. However, Global Esports wrapped up things with a 14-12 scoreline to inflict VLT’s first official defeat ever in Valorant history. DeathMaker and skillZ were the stars for Global once again while Sabyasachi ‘Antidote‘ Bose stepped up for VLT, putting up a valiant effort to push it to a third map.

Even though VLT might have lost their undefeated tag, they are not yet out of LG Ultragear TEC Valorant Challenger Series 2, with Global Esports only knocking them down to the lower bracket.

Mika Daime recent Valorant hacking controversy explained

Cheating in video games is not a new thing. There have been repeated instances of cheaters surfacing across popular esports titles like CSGO or Valorant. However, it’s also not rare for players to be wrongly accused of cheating due to a few lucky plays or visual glitches, and that’s exactly what happened in the case of Filipino content creator Mika Daime, according to Riot.

Daime is a prominent Valorant streamer from the Philippines and a celebrated personality on Facebook Gaming, with a follower count of over 138,000 on the platform.

When professional Valorant players Matt ‘Wardell’ Yu and Keven ‘Player 1’ Champagne came across a clip from Mika’s Valorant gameplay, they were both swift to suspect her of cheating and proceeded to accuse her of using aimbot and wallhacks.

While Vanguard has done a great task at keeping cheaters at bay, there have been instances of hackers occasionally slipping through the anti-cheat system by Riot. This further helped fuel the suspicions against

Mika Daime, and the community exploded with accusations against the Filipino star across social media platforms.

The controversies got to a point where Riot finally decided to intervene. “Normally, we don’t want to add to the publicity of any individual case, but because this one’s getting a little out of hand: Mika is innocent,” a Riot Dev said. “We’ve completed a thorough investigation of Mika’s gameplay, and while the clips might be suspicious individually, we’re confident that cheating software was not utilized for the accused sessions.”

Even after the confirmation from Riot’s side, the community stood divided on their opinions. The Dev’s comment was showered with downvotes on Reddit as fans started criticizing Riot’s stance regarding the incident.

Only Brazil and India came in second and third respectively in terms of downloads.

According to Sensor Tower, COD: Mobile ranks 3rd in terms of revenue generated by any shooter game in the U.S. between Oct. 1, 2019, to Sept. 30, 2020. PUBG: Mobile ranks 1st followed by Fortnite Mobile. Further, the report predicts that with Fortnite leaving the Gooogle Playstore COD: Mobile will gain 2nd position and hold onto it comfortably throughout the year.

The reports also highlight the importance of the Chinese market for these games to earn revenue. With COD: Mobile to soon release in China, the revenue will further be strengthened and next year the game will be in a better position revenue-wise. The game has already been approved by China’s gaming regulator and will undergo a final test on Oct. 20.

CSGO Legend S1mple is the most consistent player in the world according to statistics

You can’t possibly be a CSGO fan if you’re unfamiliar with the name of Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev. The Na’Vi star is renowned across the competitive scene as a Counter-Strike legend and is often regarded by fans as the greatest player to have ever touched the game.

Another aspect of CSGO where s1mple outshines every other professional player is consistency. The 23-year-old has repeatedly proven how consistent of a player he is over the years, but now we have the stats to show for it.

After taking a glance at s1mple’s HLTV profile and comparing his stats from 2019 and 2020, we can safely conclude that s1mple is one of the if not the most consistent player in CSGO of all time.

Not only does the Ukrainian rock a rating of 1.30 on both years, but his kills per round (KPR) count has also not deteriorated even a bit and stands strong at 0.85. On the other hand, his surviving percent in a round has increased from 40.5% to 41.4%, which goes along to show that he has improved as a player.

While his assists per round have taken a small hit from 0.10 to 0.09, it can be explained due to his increased efficiency with the AWP. His AWP kills per round have increased from 0.30 to 0.38, which is a significant increase when considered in the highest levels of competitive play.

S1mple is currently one of the top contenders to become the #1 CSGO player of 2020. He was crowned the first place in 2018 by HLTV and lost to Mathieu “ZywOo” Herbaut in 2019. He was also awarded the PC player of the year award in 2018.
