Beer11 from RRQ Athena lost his grandfather right before the final day of PMWL East Grand Finals. His parents keep this information hidden from him till the end of this tournament so it may not affect his mental state.
RRQ Athena is a PUBG Mobile team which was contesting in the grand finals of PUBG Mobile World League:East. Beer11 is one of their assets that has an incredible amount of worth when he is on the battlefield. His grandfather unfortunately passed away right before the final day of PMWL East and according to the coach,he was not privy to this information until the end of this tournament. The information was kept hidden so that the player won’t have to compete in a bad mental state.
Rex Regum Qeon conveyed their condolences for the loss of Beer11 through posts from the main organization’s social media and its Thailand representative handle as well.
The Thailand handle posted about this in their native language which is roughly translated as “Rex Regum Qeon (Thailand) Co., Ltd., we would like to express our condolences and mourning for the eternal passing of Little Beer’s grandfather (RRQ.BEER11) and the company would like to encourage Little Beer and family who just lost their beloved one”.
Beer11 is one of the deadliest player in PUBG Mobile and he owns an iconic squad wipe to his name that made this player as a formidable force to reckon with.
Beer11 had promised his grandfather that he will win the title and such a sudden loss would have taken a mental toll on him if the information was conveyed earlier. His parents took a bold move to keep him in a healthy mental state and the team finished on the third spot in the PUBG Mobile World League East Grand Finals.
Team Liquid on their Twitter has revealed about their roster change where they have replaced their now former Head Coach Eric “adreN” Hoag with Jason “moses” O’Toole for the same.
In the early days, moses did play represent a plethora of teams in North America which included the infamous United5 and Denial eSports as well. No sooner after he ended his stint as a professional player than he transitioned himself as a commentator and an analyst. He did kick start his career by functioning as per the above mentioned roles at ESEA Season 18 and ESL ESEA Pro League Season 1 – Finals respectively. With him going on to serve as a head coach for Team Liquid, moses represnts the third iteration of the coaching role at the same joining adreN and Wilton “zews” Prado who back in 2018 was traded off along with Epitacio “TACO” de Melo to MIBR.
Before revealing moses as their new head coach, Team Liquid bid farewell to their former coach adreN who powered Team Liquid to top HLTV.org’s rankings chart in 2019 where they won a series of events including ESL Pro League S9 Finals and the ESL One Cologne 2019 before they went on to secure their first-ever Intel Grand Slam title where they scooped $1 million after their win at Cologne.
With Team Liquid now serving as an apprentice to Moses, they are all set to embark on a new journey to become a formidable team in NA. Prior to this change, Team Liquid had signed Michael “Grim” Wince who replaced their IGL Nick “nitr0” Cannella as the latter (https://www.talkesport.com/news/csgo-nitr0-departs-team-liquid/) decided to step down from the starting five.

KOG Club pushed on Megastars, where Megastars got the upper hand but quickly BOX Gaming came into the picture and wiped out Megastars. BOX could not fully anticipate a push from Yodoo Gank in that same place and they were eliminated as well. Three teams fall in the same area in mere seconds and loot crates were glaring in every corner of this compound.
The final circles were perfectly dominated by the hands of Bigetron RA. They were pincered down by Orange Rock and U Level UP but they succumbed to the pressure.

Break from BOX Gaming is the MVP of this entire series and takes away a grand prize of $10,000 for himself.
MOBAs are always known as some of the most complex games in esports. Not only do they take a considerably high time just to pick up and learn the basics, but the skill ceilings in MOBA games are generally extremely high and require a lot of practice and dedication to attain.
Valve’s Defence of the Ancients 2 and Riot Games’ League of Legends are currently the two most popular MOBAs in the esports’ world. Both of them rock huge player counts with regular tournaments having considerable prize pools being organised across the world.
Fans of these two games have argued for a long time about which game is superior to the other, and while there may not be a conclusive answer to that, Damian Estrada – Creative Director at Team Liquid – has shared some of his thoughts regarding this which seems to have stirred up quite a controversy.
“Dota 2 is a much more rewarding game,” Damian said through a tweet, “but it’s too difficult for 80% of the League player base to fully grasp.”
He tweeted this statement with an attached picture saying, “Confessions that can get your League of Legends card revoked.”

Dota 2 is indeed an extremely complex game requiring a combination of intense mechanical skills and critical thinking to master. But this insanely high skill requirement has also driven many new players away from the game. Many argue that the simplicity of League of Legends combinedly with the huge esports scene surrounding it is what makes the game enjoyable for casual and competitive gamers alike.
However, to this day, The International – an annual tournament of Dota 2 – holds the place of being the tournament with the highest prize pool in video game history. TI9 offered a total prize pool of a whopping $34 million to the participating teams, a record that is expected to be shattered once again by TI10, which is currently rocking a prize pool of over $31,000,000 and counting.
If you are an avid fan of Electronic Art’s (EA) famous Football Game simulation project, the FIFA Series, you must be aware of games’ every prospect. Upon thinking about the latter, comes the part where you celebrate after scoring a goal. Yes over its Legacy, FIFA has added a ton of post-goal Celebrations where some of them literally poke the opponents and sometimes the crowd as well when you’re playing an “Away Match”
Recently the developers at EA were held by the collar by the community of the same regarding some of the game’s provocative goal celebrations which incluided, the ‘Shush’ and ‘A-OK’ actions. Players will no longer be able to use the “shushing” celebration, which did use to crow over the opposition team and add misery to their luck factors.
In a comment highlighting the same, Sam Rivera, Fifa 21’s lead gameplay producer stated, “We were told by the community that there’s toxic behaviours in the game, and we wanted to make sure we removed them”. “So we removed some of the celebrations that people thought were not the best idea to have in the game.”
He also added, “The intention there is just to keep you playing instead of doing other things that may not be necessary in the game,”
This does show how deeply, Sam Rivera feels about the games’s fans as he did alter the above mentioned changes without any kind of hesitations.
With these changes been inculcated into the game, the above targeted gesutures will be no longer a part of the upcoming part of the simulation series, FIFA 21.
FIFA 21 is scheduled to hit the market on 6th of October on PlayStation Consoles, Xbox series and on PC as well.

Match One – Erangel:
Erangel begins with a slow paced meta. The usual loot and rotate-in strategy was opted by all of the players. There were few engagements but none of it had bigger impact on any teams. TSM-Entity took a heavy beating while rotating and were starting to tumble slowly.
The mid-phase of this game shifted the pace of the map. TSM-Entity’s vehicles were already battered down and when they were forced to rotate in the same, they instantly took damage from gate-keeping teams and were eliminated early on. Yodoo Gank rotated towards U Level UP and wiped them out.

Match Two – Vikendi:
Vikendi is the slowest map played in competitive PUBG Mobile and viewers have to wait for any action to take place. Teams ideally locate to the most central part of this map and hope for some steady zone shrinks that may favour them. A similar meta was followed in this map.
After the zone was small enough, players fought against each other and the teams were eliminated quickly in the mere seconds. Team Secret and RRQ tanked the playzone damage and ended their journey outside of playzone.
Orange Rock pushed towards U Level UP and cleanly wiped them out. Teams were indirectly helping each other by third-party plays and while some teams benefitted, many of them took heavy damage. The numbers dropped instantly and the last battle started between Yodoo Gank and GXR Celtz.

The circle started to shift towards the sunken city near Rozhok and teams started packing up into the circle. It was so tightly packed that anybody who dared to even peek out was instantly knocked down. Bigetron RA tried to enter the city from the shorelines but Jonathan stopped them single handedly and then a rush from TSM sent Bigetron packing out of this game.
The city was completely populated to the extent that 6 teams were remaining in the final circles, barely surviving by the edges.

Orange Rock pressured Bigetron RA who were looking to climb the mountains. BTR quickly decided to run away as the zone took a southward shift heavily favouring TSM-Entity and U Level UP.
Megastars and Valdus Esports lost some players to the water rotations. Orange Rock somehow pulled off a long rotation and end up under the bridge. One player from U Level UP wiped the entire squad of KOG Club with a single grenade in a very impressive manner. U Level UP was gifted the final circle as well.

MJ alone was left standing and he almost clutched it out again by knocking three players of T1 but could not end the job as T1 wipe Celtz.
T1 rotated late into the circle and paid the prize. The zone moved towards the mountain top and ridge fights started. Teams tried to rotate in but lost their manpower. Bigetron and BOX Gaming pressure KOG Club from both of the sides and wipe them out.
Orange Rock was trapped but Yodoo Gank indirectly saved them as they manage to revive one player and capitalise on the zone. Bigetron and BOX Gaming were soon wiped out as U Level UP dominated from the mountain tops.

The Act II of VALORANT has just started a few days ago, and the popularity of Riot’s competitive shooter is undoubtedly skyrocketing with all the new features that patch 1.05 has brought to the game. Other than the new German agent Killjoy, the new patch introduced the much-anticipated Deathmatch mode to the first-person shooter along with a new ranking system which is set to revamp the competitive experience of the players.
Within a week of the release of Act II, Riot devs have made another blog post on their website where they mentioned some of their future plans for the game while answering some questions of the players themselves.
The first and perhaps the biggest announcement might be the possibility of an option to toggle skin levels in the future. For a long time now, players of the game have been complaining about how distracting the special effects of weapon skins can be. “While the aesthetics of the skins are pretty nice, all the effects around them can be distracting,” the blog said.
To combat this issue, Riot is planning to enable an option for players to toggle between the levels of a skin they already own. “This way, if you own a Level 4 Elderflame Operator, you can still toggle down to Levels 1-3, rather than being stuck only using Level 4.” Riot has mentioned that a system like this will take some time to build, but it might be a possibility in the future.
Another major announcement they delivered is that Agent-specific keybinds for abilities will soon be added to the game. “Agent-specific keybinds are very high on our priority list and we’ve already started work on the feature,”Jason Falcone – Principal UX Designer of VALORANT- said in the blog. “Exact patch timing is still unknown, but it’s something we want to deliver to players ASAP.”
PUBG Mobile recently launched its beta version 1.0 which includes the most anticipated Erangel 2.0 after it was announced in July last year. If you want to jump into the new landscape and explore it by yourself, you can download the beta version by the following simple steps.
Go to Settings→General→Configuration and device→Trusted Certificates and enable it after installation.
You can now run the third-party beta version on your iPhone devices.
If there is any problem during installation, it is recommended to download the app through Safari browser over WiFi connection.
The new update brings in major UI changes along with some minor changes in Livik map along with addition of new weapon and changes in Cheer Park. This may be next big update that can be pushed globally.
