Revenant XSpark has announced Lenovo Legion as its official jersey partner. The organisation revealed the partnership through an Instagram post on August 2, 2026, with the caption “It’s time we Reach our Impossible” alongside the hashtags #Lenovo, #LenovoLegion, #ReachYourImpossible, and #WolvenSpark. The new jersey features a dark purple base with the Lenovo Legion branding prominently placed across the chest and shoulders of the RNTX roster.
Revenant XSpark x Lenovo Legion: What We Know
The partnership makes Lenovo Legion the official jersey partner of Revenant XSpark. This means Lenovo Legion branding will appear on the organisation’s jerseys across all competitive titles and content appearances going forward.
The announcement image features RNTX players wearing the new purple jersey with the Lenovo Legion logo on the front alongside existing sponsors iQOO, AMD, and EYE7. The jersey also carries the RNTX wolf logo and the WolvenSpark identity the organisation adopted when it unveiled its new branding in April 2026.
The timing of this deal is not accidental. Revenant XSpark is currently competing at the Esports World Cup 2026 in Paris across multiple titles, including the Honor of Kings World Cup 2026, where the team qualified directly for the Group Stage. The organisation also has rosters in BGMI, Free Fire MAX, Mobile Legends, Brawl Stars, and VALORANT.
Why Lenovo Legion
Lenovo Legion is one of the biggest names in gaming hardware. The brand is also the official PC and gaming hardware partner of the Esports World Cup 2026, providing Legion desktop PCs and monitors for competitions, training areas, broadcast studios, and festival zones across the seven-week Paris event.
An RNTX jersey partner deal gives Lenovo Legion direct visibility on one of India’s most active esports rosters at the exact moment both parties are present at the same international event. For Revenant XSpark, having a global gaming hardware brand on the jersey adds commercial weight alongside existing partners iQOO, AMD, and EYE7.
Community response to the announcement was immediate. One of the top comments on the Instagram post noted: “Apart from RNTX, no organization in India has this many sponsors.”

Revenant XSpark has built one of the largest sponsor portfolios of any Indian esports organisation. The organisation was formed in late 2024 through the merger of Revenant Esports and Team XSpark, with Scout (Tanmay Singh) as brand ambassador and co-owner. Since then, the organisation has expanded aggressively across titles and partnerships.
The BLAST Bounty grand final is set. Spirit booked their place following a close 2-1 win over FaZe in the day’s first semi-final, surviving a Cache comeback from their opponents before closing it out on Anubis. MOUZ secured back-to-back maps following a loss in the opening one, securing their place in the Grand Finals against Spirit.
Spirit opened on their own pick, Dust2, and never let FaZe into the game. Danil “donk” Kryshkovets set the tone early with a dominant performance as Spirit closed it out 13-6 without much resistance. Despite keeping up, FaZe’s mid rounds suffered, with Spirit keeping control of the game with superior mid rounds
FaZe hit back on Cache, the one map where their lineup has looked untouchable over the past three months, and made it count. Jason “JBOEN” Boe Nielsen led the fightback, and FaZe took the map 13-9 to force a decider despite a poor start. With Cache being a new map, FaZe’s gamble paid off in ways they would have expected, as we saw them take the series to the final map.
Anubis went the distance. Spirit’s structure held up better in the closing rounds, and they closed out the series 13-11 to book their spot in the grand final, their third at this event. While FaZe lost, they managed to give Spirit a tough fight in a match many expected to be a total blowout. FaZe’s new lineup is starting to produce results, and this match is a testament to that.
Astralis took the opener on their own pick, Ancient, 13-6, in what can be said as their most dominant performance against MOUZ in a long time. The early lead in the series gave Astralis the comfort zone, but they failed to build on it, leading to two disastrous maps as a consequence.
MOUZ responded with two back-to-back 13-9 wins as Astralis failed to get going, which goes to show how Astralis are just not ready to take on the teams at the highest level of the game. Giving a tough fight in the second map, Astralis were outclassed in the 3rd map as MOUZ’s new lineup has continued in the footsteps of the previous one.
With the Grand Final set, we will see MOUZ take on Spirit, with no clear favorites given that both teams have been showing shaky form. One can argue MOUZ’s recent form gives them the edge, but it is really anybody’s Grand Final to take.
Last night, the highly anticipated Deadlock matchmaking update went live, bringing an all-new ranked mode to the game alongside a series of changes to the game’s matchmaking system.
While the July 30 Deadlock update itself was packed with a bunch of exciting changes, recent leaks from various dataminers reveal that Valve might still have big plans for the hero shooter.
Following the Deadlock matchmaking update, dataminers have managed to dig up game files and shed light on a ton of upcoming content, including a brand-new PvE game mode, cosmetics, and expansions to the hideout.
Here’s everything you need to know about the latest wave of Deadlock leaks.
Deadlock Leaks Reveal New PvE Mode, Cosmetics, and Hideout Expansions
The biggest highlight of the recent Deadlock leaks is a brand-new PvE game mode that’s likely coming to the Valve title in the near future.
After the last Deadlock update, dataminers have found mentions of a new menu button for something that might be related to an actual PvE game mode. The console command in question, “CitadelStartPVEBotMatch,” currently does nothing when used.
There's a mention of a new menu button for something that might be actual PVE gamemode in Deadlock. It currently does nothing… pic.twitter.com/P98vhG54XR
Then there’s the much-anticipated cosmetics system. Leaks suggest that a “Wardrobe” functionality is likely to come to the Hideout in a future update, and it’s already present in the game files.
Mention of the Wardrobe in the Hideout appeared in the latest Deadlock update. Cosmetics incoming 👀 pic.twitter.com/YXkBIGp4YW
Lastly, a new “Bar” area has been added to the game files, which is expected to be a part of an expanded Hideout section. A number of models for this new area are already finished and can be found in the files. However, the bar itself remains inaccessible at the time of writing.
Fortnite DMA cheat seller UHyper808 has been permanently banned from the game after Epic Games took legal action against them. Epic confirmed the news through its official Newsroom account on X on July 31, 2026, saying the seller had been promoting DMA software that gave players an unfair advantage. UHyper808 has been linked to Blurred.gg, a site that sells DMA cheat tools for Fortnite and other games. Following the legal action, the seller posted a public apology admitting fault.
Here is what happened, why DMA cheats are treated differently, and how this fits into Epic’s wider fight against cheating.
Fortnite DMA Cheat Seller Ban: What Epic Games Did
Epic Games Newsroom announced the action in a post on X, stating that legal steps were taken against the player for promoting DMA software and that they are now barred from selling cheats going forward. The seller, known as UHyper808, was tied to Blurred.gg, a website that offers DMA cheat tools for Fortnite among other titles.
Update on our fight against cheating in Fortnite ⚖️
We took legal action against this player for promoting DMA software to help people get an unfair advantage in Fortnite and now they’re barred from selling cheats in the future. https://t.co/FJ8wKXhr9m
Epic has not shared the full scope of the legal case. The company’s statement focused on two outcomes: the player is banned from Fortnite, and they can no longer sell cheating software in the future.
UHyper808’s Public Apology
After the legal action, UHyper808 posted a written apology to the Fortnite community. In the statement, the seller acknowledged working with Blurred.gg and selling cheating software, and confirmed they broke Epic’s rules. The apology also confirmed the permanent ban from Fortnite and that they had ended their involvement with Blurred.gg.
Public apologies like this have become common in Epic’s enforcement pattern. Players caught cheating or helping others cheat have repeatedly closed out their cases by posting similar statements.
Why DMA Cheats Are Harder to Detect
DMA cheats work differently from standard software hacks. Instead of running entirely on the player’s own PC, the cheat connects through a second computer linked to the gaming system. That secondary device reads the game’s memory directly and powers features such as aimbots and wallhacks.
Because the process happens outside the main system, Fortnite’s built-in anti-cheat tools have a harder time catching it. This is why DMA software is treated as a bigger threat than typical cheats, even with Easy Anti-Cheat’s kernel-level protection running alongside Fortnite’s other detection systems.
Epic states that breaking its rules leads to a ban at minimum, and can also mean legal consequences along with the loss of any money made from the violation.
New Anti-Cheat Requirements for Tournaments
Epic has also been tightening the technical side of anti-cheat. Since February 19, 2026, the company has required PC players in Fortnite tournaments to enable three security features: Secure Boot, TPM, and IOMMU. IOMMU is the one most relevant to DMA cheats, since it limits how outside hardware can access a computer’s memory. Epic says most players on Windows 11-compatible PCs already meet these requirements or can turn them on without new hardware.
Epic Games has not detailed further legal steps in the UHyper808 case. The company says it continues to fix exploits quickly, make its systems harder to reverse-engineer, and use data and machine learning to flag suspicious behavior. In-game player reports remain a key part of how Epic catches and bans cheaters, including sellers like UHyper808.
The PUBG Mobile World Cup (PMWC) is one of the biggest international tournaments in PUBG Mobile esports.

The BGMI 4.6 update is expected to be the next major update for Battlegrounds Mobile India after the recently released 4.5 version. While KRAFTON India has not officially announced the release date, previous updates suggest that BGMI usually receives the same content shortly after the global PUBG Mobile update. Since the PUBG Mobile 4.6 Beta is already live and the testing phase will continue until late August, Indian players can expect the BGMI 4.6 update to arrive in early September 2026. Here’s everything we know so far about the BGMI 4.6 update release date and more.
BGMI 4.6 update release date (Expected)
BGMI follows PUBG Mobile’s update cycle with a delay of around 7 to 10 days. Looking at the previous updates, the pattern has remained almost the same.

Based on this trend, if the PUBG Mobile 4.6 update launches during the last week of August 2026, the BGMI 4.6 update is likely to release 7 to 10 days later, which points to the first week of September 2026.
KRAFTON India has not confirmed the official release date yet, so this timeline is based on the game’s previous update schedule.
The 4.6 update is expected to include almost all the content introduced in the PUBG Mobile 4.6 version. Based on the ongoing beta, players can expect:
A new themed mode for Erangel
Classic Mode gameplay improvements
World of Wonder updates
Metro Royale improvements
New events and rewards
Gameplay optimizations and bug fixes
KRAFTON India may also add some India-exclusive events and rewards when the update goes live.
PUBG Mobile Beta gives a preview
The PUBG Mobile 4.6 Beta is currently being tested in four phases, allowing selected players to try new features before the official release. Any bugs reported during the beta will be fixed before the update arrives in both PUBG Mobile and BGMI.
As more beta phases roll out, additional features are expected to be revealed.
Although the official announcement is still pending, the BGMI 4.6 update is expected to follow PUBG Mobile’s release pattern once again. If PUBG Mobile receives the 4.6 update by the end of August, BGMI players can likely expect the update during the first week of September 2026. Until then, players can keep an eye on the PUBG Mobile beta, which offers the first look at many of the features coming to BGMI.
The PUBG Mobile 4.6 update is expected to be the next major update for the game after the recently released 4.5 version. Tencent Games has already started rolling out the PUBG Mobile 4.6 Beta in multiple testing phases, giving selected players a chance to try the upcoming content before the official launch. While the developers have not confirmed the release date yet, the current beta schedule suggests that the global update could arrive by the end of August 2026 or in the first week of September. Here’s everything we know so far about the PUBG Mobile 4.6 update release date and beta timeline.
PUBG Mobile 4.6 update release date (Expected)
PUBG Mobile follows a regular update cycle, releasing a major version roughly every two months. The previous updates followed this schedule:
Update
Release Month
PUBG Mobile 4.3
March 2026
PUBG Mobile 4.4
May 2026
PUBG Mobile 4.5
July 2026
PUBG Mobile 4.6
Expected August/September 2026
The PUBG Mobile 4.6 Beta calendar confirms that the testing period will continue until August 23, 2026 through four different beta phases.
If Tencent completes bug fixes on schedule, players can expect the PUBG Mobile 4.6 update to release during the last week of August 2026. However, if additional testing is required, the update could be delayed until the first week of September 2026.
PUBG Mobile 4.6 Beta timeline
The official beta schedule includes four testing phases:
Beta 1: July 30 – August 5
Beta 2: August 6 – August 12
Beta 3: August 13 – August 20
Beta 4: August 21 – August 23
The first beta mainly focuses on stability testing, while the later phases gradually introduce new gameplay features, themed mode updates, World of Wonder improvements, Classic Mode changes, and Metro Royale updates.
Tencent has not officially revealed all the features yet, but based on the beta roadmap, players can expect:
A brand-new themed mode for Erangel
Classic Mode gameplay improvements
World of Wonder updates
Metro Royale improvements
Bug fixes and performance optimizations
More content to be revealed during the later beta phases
More features are expected to appear as Beta 2, Beta 3, and Beta 4 become available.
Although Tencent has not announced an official release date, the PUBG Mobile 4.6 update is expected to launch shortly after the beta testing ends. If everything goes as planned, players can expect the update in the last week of August 2026, while a release in the first week of September remains possible if the developers need extra time to polish the update.
The Clash of Cards event is now live in Clash of Clans, running from August 1 to August 31 as the centerpiece of the game’s 14th Clashiversary season. The brand-new event type is open to all players at Town Hall 3 and above, letting you collect troop cards, trade duplicates with clanmates, and earn exclusive rewards, including a one-of-a-kind decoration. Alongside the event, 3 new Crafted Defenses, Cake-A-Pult, Hero Hunter, and Hot Candle, arrived on August 1. Here is everything you need to know, including dates, rewards, and how each defense works.
Clash of Cards Event Release Date, Rewards, and How It Works
The Clash of Cards event began on August 1, 2026, and will stay live until August 31, 2026. It is part of the Clash-A-Rama: The Awesome Quest season, which celebrates 14 years of Clash of Clans.
The concept is simple. You unlock troop cards from battles and in-game events, then fill out your collection to claim rewards, including a unique Clash of Cards decoration for your village.
Duplicates are not wasted either. You can trade duplicate cards with your clanmates directly in Clan Chat, or spend them at the Trader Shop to buy Booster Packs if a specific card refuses to drop for you.
One deadline matters most: you can collect your rewards until September 2 at 08:00 AM UTC. Complete your collection well before that cutoff so nothing goes unclaimed. Supercell has also confirmed the return of the Clashiversary Cake obstacle, and recommends saving at least one in your village.

How to Trade Cards and Get Booster Packs
Duplicate cards are not wasted in this event. You can trade duplicates with your clanmates directly in Clan Chat, making this one of the few Clash of Clans events built around clan cooperation rather than solo grinding.
If trading does not fill the gaps, there is a backup. You can spend duplicate cards at the Trader Shop to buy Booster Packs, giving you fresh pulls whenever a specific card refuses to drop.
Active clans will have a clear advantage here. The more clanmates participating, the larger the trading pool, so coordinate in Clan Chat early and let everyone know which cards you still need.
Card sources expand mid-season. The Awesome Medal Event, running from August 12 to 31, lets you collect Card Tokens in Home Village battles, earn Quest Medals to spend at the Trader Shop, and pick up additional Card Packs. If your collection is incomplete by mid-August, this is the best window to close it out.
Supercell has also confirmed the return of the Clashiversary Cake obstacle, and recommends saving at least one in your village as a permanent keepsake from the anniversary season.
As Supercell put it in its announcement, this event comes with no mana curve and no Standard rotation, just Barbarians and bragging rights, a playful jab at traditional card games.
FaZe Clan and Astralis are heading to the semi-finals of the BLAST Bounty Malta, as they took down MongolZ and paiN, respectively. Going all the way in both matches, we got to enjoy 6 maps on the day, with each one delivering intense moments and action that left us even more excited for the Semi-Finals.
MongolZ made a solid start on the defence of Nuke, with FaZe trailing 10-2 before switching sides. The FaZe offence was read every step of the way, but they managed to make a comeback on defence. With only 2 rounds to their name, FaZe converted the pistol only to lose out to a MongolZ force. Losing to the force buy put MongolZ on map point before FaZe pulled out a defensive masterclass. Winning 9 rounds in a row stunned the Asian side, taking the match to OT in the process, where the streak continued to close out the game with a 16-12 win.
Following a solid defence, MongolZ got off to a 6-0 start before FaZe managed to strip away 3 rounds before switching sides with a 9-3 scoreline. FaZe’s comeback attempt closed the gap by winning 4 rounds, but MongolZ built on their first-half lead before MongolZ built on their lead from the first half to close out the game with a 13-7 scoreline.
Following a crushing defeat, FaZe recovered in the deciding map with a 9-3 start, showcasing some of the best T-side play that we have seen from them in recent times. Losing only 3 rounds, the FaZe defence managed to close out the lead in the following half with a dominant performance to secure a 13-8 win.
PaiN vs Astralis
Both teams trading blows for blows saw the first half conclude with a levelled scoreline despite paiN remaining in control of the game for the better part of the half. Astralis threatened to take over at the beginning of the second half, only for paiN to recover on their defence and put a streak of 6 rounds to close out the map with a 13-10 scoreline.
With both teams starting the second map on tighter margins, paiN and Astralis were inseparable throughout the course of the game despite momentum shifting on either side before the match headed to OT. With the momentum getting carried over, it took us two OTs for Astralis to edge ahead with a 19-17 scoreline and level the series, taking us to the deciding map.
A 6-0 start for Astralis saw the Danes get off to a solid start before paiN’s late revival later in the half saw them save the first half. A 7-5 scoreline in favour of Astralis was levelled with the start of the second half of the map, with paiN taking the lead off the back of a pistol conversion. The first gun round gave Astralis control, leading to a dominant display on their defence that pushed the game to OT, where they managed to push it over the line to win the map with a 16-14 scoreline.
FaZe and Astralis will be joining Spirit and MOUZ in the Semi-Finals, giving us the best matches of the event so far, but only time can tell if we are in for a blowout or someone has a surprise stored in their playbooks.

WestCOL: The Most Followed Kick Streamer
WestCOL, real name Luis Fernando Villa Alvarez, is a 24-year-old Colombian creator who started on YouTube in 2015 before moving to Twitch and then to Kick after Twitch banned gambling content in late 2022. He streams a mix of gaming, IRL, boxing events, and casino content.
His September 2023 Stream Fighters 2 boxing event broke Kick’s all-time viewership record. He remains the only Kick streamer to have crossed 3 million followers, now sitting at close to 4 million. His lead over the rest of the platform is substantial: nearly double the follower count of second-placed Adin Ross.
Adin Ross: The Biggest English-Language Kick Streamer
Adin Ross is the only English-language streamer in the top 10. He began streaming as a teenager on Twitch, focusing on NBA 2K, before moving to Kick in 2023. His $100 million non-exclusive deal with Kick was one of the biggest platform-exclusive contracts ever signed in streaming.
His content has shifted over time from gaming to casino streams and Just Chatting, where he often discusses gender issues, censorship, and culture. Despite multiple controversies, his follower count continues to grow. He was the first Kick streamer to hit 1 million followers in February 2024.
xQc: The Twitch Giant on Kick
Felix “xQc” Lengyel signed a $100 million non-exclusive deal with Kick in July 2023 while maintaining his Twitch presence. He has over 12 million followers on Twitch but has built a separate Kick audience of over 1 million. He ranks 13th on Kick’s most-followed list, reflecting the fact that most of his audience still watches on Twitch. His content covers gaming, reactions, and Just Chatting.
What the Top 20 Tells You About Kick
A few patterns stand out in this list.
Latin America dominates. 7 of the top 20 streamers are from Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, or the Dominican Republic. Kick’s growth in Spanish-speaking markets has been faster and deeper than in English-speaking ones.
The Middle East and North Africa have a strong presence. 3 of the top 20 are from Saudi Arabia, Jordan, or Morocco. Arabic-language content is a growing segment on Kick.
English-language streamers are the minority. Only xQc and Adin Ross represent the English-speaking audience in the top 15. Kick’s global growth has been driven more by non-English creators than by the big-name Twitch migrants who made the initial headlines.
IRL and Just Chatting streams lead. Most of the top 20 are not gaming-first creators. IRL content, football commentary, casino streams, and personality-driven Just Chatting sessions are the dominant formats on Kick’s leaderboard. Pure gaming streamers are in the minority at the top.
Kick vs Twitch: How the Platforms Compare
Kick launched in December 2022 and has grown primarily through aggressive creator deals, lighter content restrictions, and a strong Latin American and MENA audience base. Twitch remains the larger platform by total viewership and concurrent users, but Kick has carved out a distinct identity in markets where Twitch’s content policies and monetization structure created friction for creators.
For more on how the streaming landscape is shifting in 2026, see TalkEsport’s coverage of the Valorant Partner Program 2026, which shows how Riot is also building its own creator ecosystem alongside third-party platforms.
