Valorant Arcane 2.0 Bundle Announced: Skins, Release Date, Price & More

The second season of the popular Netflix series Arcane is just around the corner, and Riot Games is celebrating its launch with a new skin bundle that’s set to be introduced to Valorant in the near future.

For the uninitiated, during the launch of Arcane Season 1, Riot Games commemorated the event with the release of an Arcane-themed bundle. This limited-time bundle included a Sheriff skin, a player card, a gun buddy, and an exclusive title.

With the arrival of Arcane Season 2 on the horizon, many players started speculating that Riot would once again introduce a similar bundle to mark the occasion. On October 16th, the Valorant devs further fueled the speculations by tagging the official Arcane account on their X (formerly Twitter) handle and simply stating, “sup.”

Shortly after this, Arcane co-creator Christian Linke confirmed that the Arcane 2.0 bundle is indeed on the way.

“VALORANT has a brand new Arcane-themed bundle out on the way,” Linke said in a newly-released video. “While the Sheriff was a season one exclusive, the premium content team cooked something special for season 2.”

Valorant Arcane 2.0 Bundle Release Date

The second season of Arcane is scheduled to launch on November 9, 2024. Fans can expect the Arcane 2.0 skin bundle to hit their Valorant store around the same date.

The exact contents of the Arcane 2.0 bundle have not been confirmed by Riot Games at the time of writing. Since the previous iteration of this bundle included a Sheriff, the Arcane 2.0 bundle will likely contain a cosmetic for a different weapon alongside a Player Card, Gun Buddy, and a title.

Valorant Arcane 2.0 Bundle Price

The first Arcane bundle had a price tag of 2,380 VP. The Arcane 2.0 bundle is expected to have a similar price tag if it includes a single weapon skin.

BLAST Premier Fall Final Groups: NaVi Faces Off Against Astralis & FaZe in Group A

Blast has finally released the groups for the final event of the year before they welcome a whole new format. The rescheduling of the event has left the CS2 calendar in turmoil for the teams as the Major is less than a month away.

The best team in the world, Natus Vincere finds themselves in Group A with Astralis, FaZe, and MOUZ, a group that is unlikely to give them any trouble for their chances of qualification while on the other hand, we get a stacked Group B. G2, Vitality, Spirit, and Liquid will compete in a challenging and uncertain Group B as on their day, every team is capable of beating each other with exception of Liquid who has been struggling lately.

Opening day, i.e. 30.10.2024 will feature matches between NAVI and Astralis, MOUZ and FaZe, G2 and Liquid, and finally Spirit and Vitality.

Is likely that most teams will be holding their best tactics for the Major as everyone will aim to dethrone NAVI and the likes of Vitality and G2 are in prime position to do so at the Major. Withholding tactics ahead of the major is something we have seen in the past but with a million dollars up for the taking, it will be interesting to see what approach said teams take.

Less Parts Ways With LOUD, Joins Team Vitality

Team Vitality has announced the addition of Felipe “Less” Basso to their Valorant roster. The 19-year-old Brazilian Valorant prodigy has parted ways with LOUD after being a part of the organization for over two years.

Vitality revealed the signing of Less through a video posted on their official YouTube handle.

Less was a key player on the LOUD roster that triumphed at Valorant Champions 2022, after securing a second-place finish at VCT 2022 Stage 1 Masters Reykjavík. Following this, they managed to attain third place at the Valorant Champions 2023.

However, LOUD’s performance in the 2024 VCT season was rather underwhelming. After landing a fourth-place finish at VCT 2024 Masters Madrid, they failed to qualify for VCT Shanghai and ultimately missed out on Valorant Champions 2024.

With the signing of Less, the Vitality Valorant roster includes the following players:

  • Jokūbas “ceNder” Labutis
  • Kimmie “Kicks” Laasner
  • Saif “Sayf” Jibraeel
  • Nikita “trexx” Cherednichenko
  • Felipe “Less” Basso

Release Date and Time

For players on the Mumbai (India) server, Valorant Episode 9 Act 3 is set to go live on October 24, 2024, at 4:30 AM IST¹. As with previous updates, there will be a maintenance period before the new act is available. During this time, players will not be able to join competitive queues but can still enjoy other game modes like Swiftplay and Spike Rush until the servers go offline for maintenance.

What’s New in Episode 9 Act 3?

While this act may not introduce a new agent, it brings several exciting updates that will shake up the current meta and enhance the overall gameplay experience.

Map Rotation Changes

One of the most significant changes in Episode 9 Act 3 is the update to the map pool. Pearl and Split are making a comeback, replacing Lotus and Icebox. This change is expected to bring a fresh dynamic to the game, as players will need to adapt their strategies to the reintroduced maps.

New Battlepass and Skins

As with every new act, players can look forward to a brand-new Battlepass. This Battlepass will feature three new skin lines, along with various cosmetic items such as Player Cards, Gunbuddies, Titles, and Sprays. Players who reach the required tier can also earn some of these items for free.

Doombringer Skin Bundle

A new skin bundle, named Doombringer, will be introduced in this act. Riot Games has already teased the Phantom variant of this skin line, complete with unique kill finishers and sound effects. This bundle has generated a lot of excitement within the Valorant community.

Competitive Queue and Maintenance

Valorant Episode 9 Act 3

At the end of Episode 9 Act 2, the competitive queue will be disabled, and players will only be able to play non-competitive modes until the servers go into maintenance¹. This maintenance period is crucial for ensuring a smooth transition to the new act. Once the maintenance is complete, players can download the update and dive into the new content.

To make the most of the new act, players should ensure their game is updated and ready to go as soon as the servers are back online. It’s also a good idea to familiarize yourself with the returning maps, Pearl and Split, to gain a competitive edge when the new act begins.

Valorant Episode 9 Act 3 promises to bring exciting changes and fresh content to the game. With the return of beloved maps, a new Battlepass, and the introduction of the Doombringer skin bundle, players on the Mumbai (India) server have a lot to look forward to.

The Scout Mavi Controversy: The End of the Fan Favorite Duo

The Scout Mavi Controversy: The End of the Fan Favorite Duo

Scout and Mavi have been a fan favorite duo since the early PUBG Mobile days. The love for this duo skyrocketed when Orange Rock, featuring Scout, Mavi, Gill, Viru, Daljitsk, and Anto, emerged as the runner up of PMWL 2020 East. Despite this achievement, Orange Rock disbanded shortly after, but Scout and Mavi tried to keep the magic alive by forming new teams, including Team SouL and Team X Spark. Unfortunately, none of the teams bore results as they expected. As a result, the duo decided to split ways. Despite going their separate ways, the duo maintained a good relationship, and fans continued to hope for a reunion.

The Beginning of the Scout Mavi Controversy

Recent developments, however, have put the Scout Mavi duo in jeopardy, as both Mavi and Scout have exchanged inappropriate language towards one another, engulfing them in a controversy.

The Scout Mavi controversy rooted from light banter that started with Mavi’s response to a viewer’s offensive comment. What seemed to be harmless banter was misinterpreted by Scout, who believed the remarks were aimed at him. In response, Scout took to X and addressed the situation on his own livestream. He stated that while he still respects Mavi and cherishes their shared memories, the era of this duo was over.

Fans believed that this would be the end of the controversy, but this mudslinging continued from both parties.

Mavi’s Response Adds Fuel to the Scout Mavi Controversy

When Mavi went live on his channel to clear everything about his relationship with Scout, the controversy escalated, and things went south. In his livestream, Mavi claimed that the banter wasn’t directed at Scout but rather at Godlike Esports. He further expressed disappointment with how Scout handled the situation. He said that if indeed Scout wanted a normal relationship he could have contacted him instead of making it into a public affair.

What started as an attempt to clarify matters soon took a dramatic turn. In the same livestream, Mavi made several controversial statements, one of which shook the entire BGMI community. He alleged that Orange Rock could have won the PMWL 2020 East, but due to a crucial mistake made by Scout, the team ended up as the runner up. Mavi further claimed that after the tournament, Scout was kicked from Orange Rock.

As Mavi continued to speak, S8UL Esports co-owner Goldy intervened. Goldy called Mavi live during his stream, urging him to stop discussing the issue further.

The Scout Mavi Controversy: What’s Next?

This Scout Mavi controversy later prompted multiple other players in the community to share their views on the subject. So far, this entire controversy has led to multiple allegations, including poaching of players, backbiting, and more. However, the controversy has not yet finished. The next livestreams of Scout and Mavi are expected to add more fuel to the fire. 

The once iconic duo now finds themselves entangled in a public feud that has left fans divided and speculating about the future of their friendship. Stay tuned to the space to stay updated on the Scout Mavi duo controversy.

Major Companies Sever Ties with Asmongold Following Controversial Remarks

In a significant turn of events, several companies have decided to cut ties with popular Twitch streamer Asmongold following his controversial comments about Palestine. This article delves into the details of the incident, the companies involved, and the broader implications for the streaming community.

On October 14, 2024, Asmongold made comments during a livestream that sparked widespread backlash. He stated that he would not “cry a river” for those killed in Palestine, describing them as coming from an “inferior culture.” These remarks were met with immediate criticism from viewers and the broader community.

Immediate Consequences

Asmongold’s comments led to a swift response from Twitch, which issued a 14-day ban on his account¹. The streamer quickly apologized on social media, acknowledging the inappropriateness of his remarks. Despite his apology, the damage was done, and several companies began distancing themselves from him.

Companies Cutting Ties

OTK, the organization co-founded by Asmongold, was one of the first to respond. In a statement, OTK condemned his comments as “disgusting and abhorrent” and announced that Asmongold would be stepping away from his leadership role. The organization emphasized its commitment to fostering an inclusive environment and denounced all forms of discrimination.

Starforge Systems, a PC building company associated with OTK, also severed ties with Asmongold. The company released a statement rejecting all forms of discrimination, hatred, and violence, and confirmed that they had mutually agreed to part ways with the streamer.

asmongold twitch

Mad Mushroom, an indie game publisher linked to OTK, followed suit. The company stated that Asmongold’s views were antithetical to its mission of empowering developers from diverse backgrounds. They too decided to cut ties with him.

The fallout from Asmongold’s comments highlights the increasing scrutiny public figures face regarding their statements and actions. In the age of social media, comments made in the heat of the moment can have far-reaching consequences, affecting not only personal reputations but also business relationships.

Community Reaction

The streaming community has been divided in its response. While many have praised the companies for taking a stand against discrimination, others have expressed concern over the potential for overreaction and the impact on free speech. This incident serves as a reminder of the delicate balance between personal expression and public accountability.

Asmongold’s situation underscores the importance of mindful communication, especially for public figures with large followings. The swift actions taken by OTK, Starforge Systems, and Mad Mushroom reflect a growing intolerance for discriminatory remarks in the gaming and streaming industries. As the community continues to evolve, it is clear that inclusivity and respect are becoming non-negotiable values.
