Godlike Esports emerged as the champions of the MOBA Legends 5v5 Mythic Showdown Season 2, defeating arch-rivals S8UL Esports in the Grand Finals held in Guwahati by 4-2 in a best-of-seven final. With this win, Godlike secured the biggest share of the ₹400,000 (~$4,424 USD) prize pool. S8UL finished the tournament as runners-up, while Higgboson Esports claimed third place after a strong playoff run. The event featured 16 teams and showcased some of the best Mobile Legends competition in India, with intense matches across the Swiss Stage and playoffs.

Godlike Esports takes down S8UL to win MOBA Legends 5v5 Mythic Showdown Season 2

The Grand Final of the MOBA Legends 5v5 Mythic Showdown Season 2 played on 19 December 2025 in Guwahati. Godlike Esports outperformed S8UL Esports by 4-2 in the best-of-seven series to lift the championship trophy. The Godlike roster, featuring ROMCOM, Vann Satoru, Bidd, Fate, and Artorio, remained consistent throughout the tournament and delivered when it mattered the most.

Notably, Godlike defeated S8UL three times in four meetings during the event, including their decisive win in the Grand Finals. Their strong drafting, clean rotations, and team-fight execution played a major role in their title-winning run.

Godlike Esports began their campaign in the Swiss Stage, where they went undefeated by winning three back-to-back matches against Daku Sena, S8UL Esports, and Elusivity Esports. Despite a few setbacks later in the stage, the team managed to qualify for the playoffs by securing crucial wins.

In the playoffs, Godlike defeated Revenant XSpark 2-0 in the Upper Bracket Semifinals and once again overcame S8UL Esports in the Upper Bracket Final. They carried this momentum into the Grand Final to seal the championship by defeating S8UL by 4-2.

S8UL Esports finish as runners-up

S8UL Esports had an impressive run throughout the tournament and proved to be one of the most competitive teams in the event. The squad showed resilience in the playoffs and reached the Grand Finals after strong performances in the lower bracket. Although they fell short in the final series, S8UL secured 2nd place and took home INR 100,000 in prize money.

Higgboson Esports secure third place

Higgboson Esports finished the tournament in 3rd place after defeating Revenant XSpark 3-1 in the Lower Bracket Semifinals. Their journey ended after a loss to S8UL in the Lower Bracket Final. With this result, Higgboson Esports earned ₹30,000, marking a strong showing in the competition.

CS2 2026 Service Medals Leaked: All Variants

CS2 2026 Service Medals Leaked: All Variants

With Christmas just under a week away and the new year fast approaching, Counter-Strike 2 fans are eager to see what Valve has in store for the shooter’s growing player base with the 2026 Service Medals.

While Valve has yet to officially reveal details about the 2026 Service Medals in CS2, dataminers have already managed to dig up game files that reveal a first look at the prestigious coin and its overall design.

CS2 2026 Service Medal Leaks

Shortly after the December 18 CS2 update hit the live servers, drastically impacting the skin economy as a result of a hidden change that reportedly removed Rare Cases from the drop pool, dataminers were able to find images of the upcoming 2026 Service Medal within the game files.

It didn’t take long for the leaks to start circulating throughout social media forums, shining a spotlight on all the variants of the next CS2 Service Medal.

CS2 Service Medal 2026: All Variants

As usual, the CS2 2026 Service Medal will have four variants: white, green, purple, and red.

Players will start with the white variant, which can be unlocked after hitting level 40 for the first time. Upon each subsequent time reaching level 40, players can upgrade their 2026 Service Medal to green, purple, and red variants, respectively. This means that to unlock the red variant of the 2026 Service Medal in CS2, you’ll need to reach level 40 a total of four times within a single year. 

Needless to say, that will require a LOT of grinding. You can make the process a little easier on yourself by hitting level 40 before the year ends, and waiting for the new year to claim your Service Medal. You’ll still need to hit level 40 three additional times for the red medal. If you have some Bonus Rank tokens saved up from past Operations, you should consider using them on your hunt for the red medal.

How to Get the Santa Sabrina Skin in Fortnite

The latest 39.11 update in Fortnite brings the festivities of the Winter Season to the game, namely the Winterfest. It is that time of the year when the game will have daily presents, exclusive offers, and unique cosmetic items to be grabbed from the Item Shop. With all the exciting elements added to the game, one element has caught the attention of all players, and it is the Santa Sabrina skin.

In this article, we will explore how you can get it for yourself.

How to get the Santa Sabrina Skin?

The Santa Sabrina skin is included in the Santa Sabrina Bundle, which also houses Winterfest Sack Back Bling, Manchild Jam Track, and Manchild emote. Unfortunately for fans, the Santa Sabrina skin can only be purchased from the Item Shop, and here is how you can do it:

  • Head over to the Item Shop.
  • Look for the Featured Section.
  • You can find the Santa Sabrina bundle under the Icon Series tab.
  • You can get the Whole Bundle for 2400 V-Bucks or spend 1500 V-Bucks for the Santa Sabrina Carpenter skin alone.

When Is the Santa Sabrina Skin Releasing in Fortnite?

The Santa Sabrina skin is set to go live in the Fortnite Item Shop on 22 December. However, Icon Series items tend to make it into the game ahead of time, so it wouldn’t be unwise to keep an eye on the Item Shop.

Fortnite has never shied away from bringing A-list celebrities to the game, and this makes Sabrina Carpenter’s second skin, with the classic golden dress one being replaced by a more festival-appropriate red costume, but it retains her signature blonde hair under a Christmas cap.

She has been one of the biggest singers in recent times, and someone the majority of the Fortnite crowd can relate to, or at least have on their playlist, which makes this a very strategic inclusion at the time of the year when everyone is in the mood for celebrations.

New CS2 Update Removes All Rare Cases From Drop Pool

Valve has shipped out a new update to Counter-Strike 2 on December 18th, and while the patch notes don’t reveal any major changes on the surface, an unlisted change has completely caught the community off-guard, triggering chaos across the Steam Market.

Taking a glance at the official patch notes of the latest CS2 update reveals the following:

  • Champions Autographs Capsule is now available for purchase. Congratulations to Team Vitality!
  • Highlight Souvenir Packages can now be acquired for the Playoff matches.

While this is nothing out of the ordinary for a post-Major update, the devs have also shipped a hidden change to CS2 that is expected to have a noticeable impact on the game’s skin economy in the coming days.

CS2 Update Removes Rare Cases From Drop Pool

As per recent reports from various sources, Valve has completely removed rare cases from the CS2 drop pool.

Previously, players had a small chance to receive a case from the Rare Drop Pool as part of their Care Package. This pool consisted of cases that were no longer part of the Active Drop Pool, making them significantly more valuable. Typically, only the latest five cases remain in the Active Drop Pool, with older cases being moved to the Rare Drop Pool once they rotate out.

Moving forward, it seems that Valve is completely changing this formula, with reports suggesting the Rare Drop Pool has been removed from the game entirely.

Debates have already started sparking within the community regarding this change and whether it means older CS2 cases can no longer be obtained at all, or if Valve plans to introduce an alternative method for acquiring them in the future.

How this shift affects the broader CS2 skin economy remains to be seen.

Valorant Rings in the New Year with Run It Back V25 Bundle

Valorant Rings in the New Year with Run It Back V25 Bundle

Valorant players eager to renew their repertoire for 2026 had a new chance on their hands courtesy of Riot Games’ latest Run It Back bundle, which went live on December 18, 2025. But this year’s edition of the annual year-end sale has proven more contentious than anticipated, with a noticeably slim offering that has sparked community controversy about value and purchase flexibility.​

This Run It Back V25 bundle features three exclusive tier skins curated from the most popular 2024 collections: the Kuronami Spectre, Nocturnum Bulldog, and EXO Vandal. Each of these weapons alone has a price of 2,175 VP, while the bundle is presented at 4,840 VP, a deal that cuts 32% off the Kuronami and EXO skins and 26% off the Nocturnum.

https://twitter.com/VALORANT/status/2001774478993277015

What makes this bundle really different from previous ones, though, is the heavy restriction Riot Games has placed on buying. Unlike previous Run It Back collections, Valorant players aren’t just heavily restricted from buying individual skins but are entirely barred from doing so. The bundle is something that has to be bought in its entirety. The decision certainly goes against community friendliness that was embraced earlier by allowing the purchasing of select skins.

The restriction has garnered mixed reactions. While Nocturnum is praised for being the first series in the game to sport a different magazine-change animation, and the Kuronami Spectre’s rainy aesthetic appeals to those with a heavy investment in sprays, many were upset about being forced to buy things they don’t want.

Riot did, however, implement a consolation measure of sorts. For players who already own one or more of the three skins, the price of the bundle adjusts itself to consider those owned skins, with their values taken away from the total cost.

VALORANT Pro “Ban” Handled One-Year Suspension for Match-Fixing Discussions

VALORANT Pro “Ban” Handled One-Year Suspension for Match-Fixing Discussions

VALORANT Pro “Ban” Handled One-Year Suspension for Match-Fixing Discussions
SEOUL – In a move that has sparked intense debate over competitive integrity, Riot Games has officially handed a 12-month suspension to professional VALORANT player Seungmin “ban” Oh. The ruling follows an investigation into match-fixing discussions that allegedly took place during the 2025 VALORANT Champions Tour (VCT) season.

The irony of the player’s alias, “Ban,” becoming a reality was not lost on the community, but the details of the case reveal a complex situation involving self-reporting and strict adherence to Riot’s Global Code of Conduct.

The Investigation and Findings

According to Riot’s official disciplinary report, the suspension stems from interactions “ban” had during his tenure with Global Esports. Specifically, the player was found to have engaged with individuals and entertained proposals for match manipulation involving financial terms. The discussions reportedly centered around a VCT Pacific Stage 2 match between Global Esports and Team Secret, held on July 19, 2025.

The investigation began in late August after unverified screenshots of the alleged discussions surfaced online. Riot enlisted the integrity firm Sportradar to analyze the evidence. While the screenshots themselves could not be fully authenticated, interviews and document reviews including a voluntary disclosure from “ban” himself confirmed that he had participated in prohibited conversations.

Intent vs. Conduct

During the proceedings, “ban” maintained that he never actually intended to go through with the match manipulation, despite being part of the discussions. However, Riot Games clarified that intent is irrelevant when it comes to the Global Code of Conduct.

The policy states that violations are subject to disciplinary action whether they are committed intentionally or even as part of a “joke” or “stunt.”Riot did acknowledge several mitigating factors, most notably that “ban” voluntarily reported the incident to officials. This self-report likely saved him from a permanent lifetime ban, which is often the standard for match-fixing offenses in top-tier esports.

Future for “Ban”

The one-year suspension is limited to Riot-sanctioned events. This means that while “ban” is barred from competing in the VCT for the 2026 season, he remains eligible to participate in third-party tournaments and continue his career as a content creator.

As of the ruling, “ban” was not signed to any VCT roster for the upcoming season, a fact many analysts attribute to the looming investigation. The case serves as a stern warning to players in the VCT circuit: even “entertaining” a proposal for foul play is enough to derail a professional career.

MOUZ Exits Valorant in 2025 amidst uncertainty on ecosystem

MOUZ has officially announced a full withdrawal from Valorant, ending a three‑year run in Riot’s tactical shooter. The organization confirmed that it will no longer field a Valorant roster and is stepping away from the ecosystem entirely.

In its statement, MOUZ made it clear this wasn’t about short‑term results or a single roster, but about structural concerns. The club said the current VCT format “does not align” with its ambitions and that it “does not see a place” for itself in the existing ecosystem.

“No clear, sustainable path forward” in the current VCT structure

The core of MOUZ’s decision is the way Valorant’s ecosystem is built around a limited partner‑team structure. With only a small number of partner slots at the top and heavily gated access to international events, non‑partner organizations face a long, uncertain grind with limited upside.

MOUZ described this reality as a lack of a “clear, sustainable path forward.” In other words, even with good performances at the regional level, the organization didn’t see a realistic route to long‑term stability, visibility, and revenue inside the current VCT model. That’s a sharp message from a well‑known European brand, and one that echoes concerns other tier‑two orgs have voiced over the past two seasons.

Strong regional results, but no international breakthrough

On paper, MOUZ’s Valorant division did what a lot of tier‑two fans would expect from a serious, well‑run esports brand. The team focused on European Challengers, especially the DACH region, and stacked up genuinely strong regional results.

Highlights include:

  • 1st place – Valorant Challengers 2024 DACH: Evolution – Split 2
  • 1st place – Valorant Challengers 2025 DACH: Evolution – Split 3

Despite those wins, MOUZ never managed to qualify for a Masters or Champions event. Without those international appearances, it became harder to justify staying in the ecosystem: there were few sponsor‑facing moments on the global stage, no guaranteed pathway into the partner league, and constant uncertainty about the future.

Part of a bigger problem for tier‑two Valorant

MOUZ’s exit isn’t happening in a vacuum. Over the last two years, multiple non‑partner organizations have either scaled back or fully exited Valorant, and many of them point to similar issues:

  • A closed or semi‑closed partner model with very limited promotion routes
  • Lack of long‑term security for Challengers‑level teams
  • Difficult planning horizons for salaries, infrastructure, and scouting
  • An ecosystem where strong regional results don’t always translate into sustainable growth

When an established European name like MOUZ leaves despite winning multiple regional splits, it highlights a structural imbalance. Tier‑two teams are doing what the system asks—developing talent, winning local leagues—but still don’t see a realistic way to turn that into stable, multi‑year participation at the highest level.

What this means for Valorant fans and the scene

For Valorant fans, MOUZ’s departure is a reminder that the health of the scene isn’t just about partner teams and global events. Challengers and regional ecosystems are where new players, coaches, and stories are built, and losing recognizable brands at that level thins out the competitive field.

It also increases pressure on Riot to address long‑standing concerns around promotion, revenue opportunities, and visibility for non‑partner organizations. If more tier‑two orgs follow MOUZ out of the door, the gap between the partner league and the rest of the ecosystem will only widen.

For now, MOUZ bows out with a clear message: strong regional results are not enough if the broader structure doesn’t offer a believable, sustainable future. How Riot responds to that signal over the next VCT cycle will say a lot about where Valorant esports is heading beyond its current partner era.

G2 Esports, Paper Rex favorites to win Valorant Radiant International

Valorant Radiant International 2025 has quietly become one of the most stacked off‑season events of the year, bringing together six top‑tier teams for a fast, high‑stakes invitational right before the holidays. The format rewards consistency and punishes slow starts, which makes this tournament especially interesting for Valorant fans who want to see how the big names close out 2025.

Teams and storylines to watch

The invited lineup features a strong mix of international firepower and rising Asian contenders:

  • Paper Rex (Pacific powerhouse with deep Champions 2025 run)
  • G2 Esports (fresh off a title at Red Bull Home Ground 2025)
  • Gen.G (high ceiling, but inconsistent 2025 form)
  • FunPlus Phoenix (FPX)
  • Bilibili Gaming (BLG)
  • Nova Esports

Paper Rex: the benchmark

Paper Rex comes in as the “expected” favorite for many fans. The team went deeper at the most recent Champions event than any of the other squads in this tournament, and its hyper‑aggressive style still defines the Pacific region’s identity.

Even so, Radiant International’s compact format and best‑of‑one heavy ranking stage mean that PRX will need to be sharp from map one. There’s very little room to warm up, and teams like G2 and Gen.G are more than capable of punishing early mistakes.

G2 Esports: peaking at the right time

G2 Esports enters Radiant International with some of the strongest momentum in the field. Earlier this quarter, G2 lifted the Red Bull Home Ground 2025 trophy, taking down NRG in convincing fashion and reminding everyone why this roster has been in the “best in the world” conversation for most of the year.

Even though G2’s mid‑2025 form dipped compared to its early highs, the current version looks much closer to that peak again. Strong calling, a deep agent pool, and comfort on big stages make G2 one of the most exciting teams to watch in this tournament—and a very realistic candidate to reach, if not win, the grand final.

Gen.G, FPX, BLG and Nova: danger in the pack

Gen.G is the definition of volatility heading into this event. The Korean side reached the top three at the 2025 Esports World Cup and showed genuine title potential in the first half of the year, but the second half has been rough. A 7th‑place finish in the last VCT Pacific stage and a brutal loss to Fnatic at the 2025 SOOP Valorant League have left fans wondering which version of Gen.G will show up.

FunPlus Phoenix and Bilibili Gaming haven’t produced the kind of headline‑grabbing results that Paper Rex, G2, or peak Gen.G have, but both Chinese squads are dangerous in best‑of‑one environments. They might not be tournament favorites, yet they’re exactly the kind of teams that can ruin someone’s seeding run with a well‑prepared upset. Nova Esports rounds out the field as the underdog, but its early games against PRX and G2 will give a quick read on how tight the skill gap really is.

Format: fast event, high pressure

Radiant International 2025 is designed to be short and intense, running over just a few days with very little downtime. That puts a premium on prep, stamina, and adaptability.

Ranking stage (December 18–19)

The tournament opens with a ranking stage that decides the entire playoff bracket:

  • Each team plays four best‑of‑one matches against randomly drawn opponents.
  • At the end of the stage:
    • 1st place advances directly to the grand final.
    • 2nd place skips to the semifinal.
    • 3rd and 4th place start from the quarterfinals.
    • 5th and 6th are eliminated.

This structure makes every map matter. A single off day can turn a potential title run into an early exit, while a clean 3–1 or 4–0 record can essentially buy a free ticket to championship Sunday.

Day 1 – December 18 (Ranking stage)

  • Nova Esports vs Paper Rex – 1 a.m. ET
  • FunPlus Phoenix vs Paper Rex – 2 a.m. ET
  • FunPlus Phoenix vs Gen.G – 3 a.m. ET
  • BLG vs Gen.G – 4 a.m. ET
  • BLG vs G2 Esports – 5 a.m. ET
  • Nova Esports vs G2 Esports – 6 a.m. ET

Day 2 – December 19 (Ranking stage)

  • Nova Esports vs FunPlus Phoenix – 1 a.m. ET
  • G2 Esports vs FunPlus Phoenix – 2 a.m. ET
  • G2 Esports vs Gen.G – 3 a.m. ET
  • Paper Rex vs Gen.G – 4 a.m. ET
  • Paper Rex vs BLG – 5 a.m. ET
  • Nova Esports vs BLG – 6 a.m. ET

From a fan’s point of view, days one and two are packed with bangers: G2 vs Gen.G, Paper Rex vs Gen.G, and the PRX vs BLG matchup all offer real tests of form and style.

Once the ranking stage ends, the event immediately shifts into a knockout bracket.

December 20 – Quarterfinal and semifinal

  • Quarterfinal (3 a.m. ET): 3rd vs 4th from the ranking stage
  • Semifinal (5 a.m. ET): Quarterfinal winner vs 2nd from the ranking stage

Both series are best‑of‑three, which gives teams more time to adapt mid‑series but still keeps the margin for error small. For fans, this is where map pool depth, clutch factor, and coaching prep really start to show.

December 21 – Grand final

  • Grand final (5 a.m. ET): 1st from the ranking stage vs semifinal winner

The grand final is a best‑of‑five, giving both teams room to throw in pocket comps, comfort picks, and experimental looks. Whoever topped the ranking stage comes into this series with maximum rest, prep time, and confidence.

Who are the favorites for fans to watch?

This isn’t a betting preview, but if you’re a Valorant fan wondering which teams are most likely to define the story of Radiant International 2025, a few names naturally rise to the top:

  • Paper Rex – The benchmark from Champions, still one of the most entertaining and explosive teams in the world.
  • G2 Esports – Just won Red Bull Home Ground 2025 and seems to be peaking again at exactly the right time.
  • Gen.G – Inconsistent, but when the team hits its ceiling, it can hang with anyone in this lobby.

Behind them, FPX, BLG, and Nova are the chaos agents that can flip the script. Whether it’s an upset in a day‑one best‑of‑one or a deep surprise run from the quarterfinals, the format gives dark horses plenty of chances to shine.

For fans, that mix of elite favorites, volatile contenders, and hungry underdogs is exactly what makes Valorant Radiant International 2025 such a fun way to close out the year.

Best Hero Equipment for Every Town Hall in Clash of Clans

Choosing the right gear for your Heroes in Clash of Clans can be the difference between a crushing three-star victory and a frustrating fail. As you progress from Town Hall 8 all the way to Town Hall 18, the strategies change, and so does the equipment you need. Each level brings new challenges that require specific combinations to boost your Hero’s strength and survivability. In this guide, we will break down the absolute best equipment setups for every major level to help you dominate your clan wars and trophy pushes. Check out the best COC Hero Equipment.

Note: The Clash of Clans Hero equipment combinations shared in this article are based on the writer’s personal playstyle and favorite strategies. Clash of Clans offers many ways to play, and other combinations may suit you better depending on your army, available Ores, and preferences. Use these tips as a starting point and feel free to experiment.

Best COC Hero Equipment for Every Town Hall

Lower Town Halls (TH8 – TH10)

At these early levels, simplicity is key. For Town Hall 8, the Giant Gauntlet and Spiky Ball on the Barbarian King are incredibly powerful, especially when paired with Dragon attacks. On the Archer Queen, the Frozen Arrow and Invisibility Vial remain the gold standard. As you move into Town Hall 9 and 10, the Giant Arrow becomes a game-changer. It allows you to snipe air defenses or weaken the core of a base before your main army even enters.

Middle Town Halls (TH11 – TH13)

Town Hall 11 introduces the Grand Warden. For ground armies like Zap Witches, the Eternal Tome and Life Gem are essential to keep your troops alive through heavy fire. By Town Hall 12, the Magic Mirror becomes a top-tier choice for the Queen, as it creates clones that distract defenses. At Town Hall 13, you unlock the Royal Champion. A popular combination for her is the Electro Boots and Rocket Spear, which allows her to snipe key targets like the Town Hall from a distance.

High Town Halls (TH14 – TH15)

At Town Hall 14, many players stick with Yeti and Super Wizard strategies, keeping equipment similar to TH13. However, Town Hall 15 sees the rise of the Fireball on the Grand Warden. When paired with a Rage Gem, the Fireball can clear out massive sections of a base instantly. For the King, the Earthquake Boots are often preferred here to pop open walls and let your smash attacks reach the core.

Elite Town Halls (TH16 – TH18)

For the end-game players at Town Hall 16 and 17, the Healer Puppet on the Queen is fantastic for keeping your “Hero Charge” going without needing extra spell support. For the Town Hall 18 Hero Equipment. At Town Hall 18, the newest equipment like the Snake Bracelet and Frost Flake take center stage. The Snake Bracelet protects the King as he funnels around the outside, while the Frost Flake on the Royal Champion freezes up to seven defenses, giving your army the breathing room it needs to finish the base.
