Kill Leaders

Jonathan and Clutchgod from TSM Entity overtook 420op in kill leaders after their extraordinary performance on day 2 of the finals. Both of them have killed 27 enemies each. However, Jonathan gets the first position as he has dealt his enemies with higher damage than Cluthgod. 420op slipped down to third position in kill leaders.

The winners of PMPL SA finals and teams who getting PMWL slots will be revealed after the action of day 3.

AT&T reportedly looking to sell off Warner Bros gaming unit for $4 Billion

The telecommunications and media company, AT&T is under discussions to sell off Warner Bros gaming division in a deal that could bring them about $4 billion, according to a report by CNBC. The report further states that the potential buyers could include some big AAA publishers like Take-Two Interactive Software, Electronic Arts, and Activision-Blizzard.

Also according to CNBC, this deal will include WB’s game IPs such as Harry Potter, Batman, Lego, Game of Thrones, and Mortal Kombat. Although this doesn’t mean a direct sale of IP rather it likely mean whichever company buys the WB gaming division will enter a commercial licensing agreement with AT&T to split future revenue for franchise games.

AT&T had acquired Time Warner in 2018 in a deal that closed at $109 billion which included all of its assets. Currently, the telecom giant is nearly $150 billion in total debt and is looking to selling off some non-core assets such as the WB gaming division and DirectTV to pay-off some of its debt.

“You should see our debt levels come down as we move through the course of this year. And we’ll just keep you posted as we work through the balance of this year,” said CFO John Stephens in April when the company unveiled its quarterly results. This July John Stankey is set to replace Randall Stephenson as the chief executive officer of AT&T and with him will come several changes to how the company handles things such as the sale of assets in regard to pay-off its debts.

Call Of Duty Warzone update adds Pakistan Army SSG operator

After a week-long delay, Infinity Ward finally has finally shipped the season 4 update for Call Of Duty: Warzone. With the new update comes a series of changes and the much-anticipated battle pass which brings a variety of Operator skins and Legendary blueprints. The battle pass has 100 ranks and players have around two months to get through these ranks to claim the rewards.

This time around the battle pass for the first time features a character skin based on Pakistan Army SSG named Urzikstan SSG I. Normally the early rank skins are just generic and only carry some color changes, but this time around Infinity Ward has made the Urzikstan SSG I skin to stand out by modeling the character exactly on one of the Pakistan army’s SSG.

This is the first time IW has added a character with such a beard, and it shows as the beard render makes it look all unnatural. IW is still far from mastering realistic-looking beards but this is a good start and fans can expect better implementation in future characters.

Although Call of Duty is famous for entertaining its users through real-life lookalike character models, but this time around things took quite an interesting turn as the Asian fans, especially the Indian and Pakistani fans of the game have started revolting on social media about the addition of character.

While one side has been critical over the idea, the other is applauding and cheering. All-in-all its just a game and basing a character model on a real-life army personal is not uncommon. We hope things remain normal and don’t take a political turn forcing Infinity Ward to make emergency changes to the game.

Latest CSGO update accidentally lets players see through walls

Better hold off your Overwatch cases for now, because the guy who keeps killing everyone through smoke may not be a waller after all. The June 12th CSGO update aimed at improving visibility across the maps and the player models, in general, may have backfired as more and more players are reporting to be able to see through smokes, and even walls on various scenarios.

The post made by Reddit user and CSGO player u/TimSchumi showcased how he was able to see the outline of a CT behind a silo on Nuke even when his enemy was completely out of his line of sight. Furthermore, the outline also seemed to move in the same manner as the actual player moved, which in normal circumstances would make wall bangs a piece of cake to perform.

The post was quick to gain traction among the community as more players acknowledged to have encountered similar issues in the comments. Many of them complained that they were able to clearly see enemies through smokes.

While u/TimSchumi mentioned that he had already sent the bug reports to the Valve team, he also made it clear that he wasn’t able to identify the root cause of this weird bug. Inability to consistently recreate the bug could cause difficulties for the Valve team who’re working on the issue, further making matters worse.

It’s still unclear why this type of glitch is happening, but fans have already started to speculate about the reasons that may have caused this. According to one Redditor, some sort of ‘halo effect’ may be working which misinterprets the visibility of player models when seen through walls.

Riot Games fire executive over ‘abhorrent’ George Floyd post

Ron Johnson, the Global Head of Consumer Products at Riot Games, had recently shared a post on his personal Facebook account which ended up receiving a lot of backlashes. Unlike other posts, this post was particularly on a really sensitive topic, the death of George Floyd.

Riot Games has parted ways with Ron Johnson, the executive who posted critically about George Floyd.

Statement from @riotgames spokesman @JoeHixson: "Ron Johnson is no longer employed at Riot Games.

“The sentiment expressed in the image in question is abhorrent and runs
— Seth Schiesel (@SethSchiesel) June 12, 2020

The post listed George Floyd’s criminal records with the heading, “The media and the left have made George Floyd into a martyr. But who was he really?” Ron Johnson had shared this post with the caption, “This is no reason to condone his killing by the officer at all, which still needs to be investigated as a potential crime. It is a learning opportunity for people (and your kids) to teach that this type of criminal lifestyle never results in good things happening to you or those around you.”

This controversial post and caption didn’t go too well with Ron’s employers, Riot Games. Since then, Ron has been put on leave and is currently being investigated for his actions by Riot Games.

In conversation with Vice, Riot games stated, “We’ve been made aware of the social media post and have launched an investigation. We’ll say firmly that the sentiment in that image is abhorrent, against our values, and directly counter to our belief that addressing systemic racism requires immediate social change, which we detailed in the commitments we made Friday. While we don’t discuss the details of our investigations or their outcomes, we’re following our disciplinary process closely and have placed him on leave pending its conclusion.”

Riot has shown its active support to the worldwide #BlackLivesMatter movement.On 5th June, Riot had announced that it would be donating a generous sum of $1 million to The Innocence Project and the ACLU through their Social Impact Fund. Furthermore, a contribution of $10 million was also promised towards investments and startup programs focused on founders underrepresented in the gaming community.

Dylan Jadeja, Riot Games President said, “The murder of yet another unarmed black man has ignited a national outcry for justice, not only for George Floyd, but countless others in the black community who are dying at the hands of a system that they are supposed to be able to trust. Systemic racism is not a new issue, but we must acknowledge that complacency has contributed to slower progress than is needed to drive lasting change. Like many other companies with the ability and responsibility to accelerate progress, and to make it a reality, we have a part to play and it is on us to do more.”
