Valorant Champions 2023 Hits New Peak Viewership Record

The eSports world is witnessing a new phenomenon as Valorant Champions 2023 continues to shatter viewership records. The latest milestone was achieved during the intense upper bracket final between Paper Rex and Evil Geniuses, drawing the attention of over a million concurrent viewers. Let’s delve deeper into the significance of this achievement and what it means for the future of eSports viewership.

The upper bracket final was nothing short of spectacular. Paper Rex and Evil Geniuses battled it out in a match that went into overtime on Pearl. The game’s climax saw a staggering peak viewership of 1,006,693, as reported by Esports Charts. This achievement marks the fifth time a Valorant Champions match has surpassed the 1 million concurrent viewers mark.

To put things into perspective, Valorant Champions 2021, which operated on a single-elimination bracket system, had over a million viewers for both the semi-final and the grand final matches. In the following year, both the lower bracket final and the grand final matches drew over a million viewers. The recent viewership figures for Valorant Champions 2023 indicate a growing trend and a bright future for the tournament.

Another noteworthy point is the global appeal of the Valorant Champions series. Leo Faria, Riot Games’ Global Head of Valorant Esports, highlighted that viewership from Chinese platforms had already made this year’s tournament the most-watched in its history. Despite the time-zone differences, a million Chinese viewers tuned in to watch an EDG group stage match.

Baldur’s Gate 3 releases its first major patch

The gaming world is abuzz with the latest update from Larian Studios regarding their flagship game, Baldur’s Gate 3. This new patch, touted as a significant game-changer, addresses a myriad of issues, with over 1,000 adjustments made. Among the most notable is a fix that caters to the “short kings” of the game. Let’s delve into the details of this comprehensive update.

Romance Reimagined for Shorter Races

Players who opted for shorter races, such as dwarves and halflings, previously encountered some awkwardness during romantic interactions due to the height difference. This resulted in some rather comical and unintended scenes. However, with the new animation changes, these interactions have been refined. The patch ensures that romantic scenes, especially those involving kisses, are more realistic, taking into account the height of the characters and the terrain they’re on.

Other Noteworthy Adjustments

Romance wasn’t the only focus of this patch. Larian Studios has addressed various other issues, enhancing the overall gaming experience. Some of the key fixes include:

  • A correction to Shadowheart’s romance scene in Act Three.
  • Adjustments to Lae’zel’s attire, ensuring it reflects the chosen dye color accurately.
  • Fixes to the modesty filter for the Dragonborn race.

Moreover, players can anticipate the second patch, which promises significant performance improvements. This is especially crucial given the game’s expansive nature and the intricate details that make it a favorite among RPG enthusiasts.

Player Insights and Upcoming Releases

Larian Studios also shared intriguing statistics about player choices. With over 200,000 hours logged since the game’s launch, the Paladin class emerged as the most popular, while the Cleric remains the least favored. In terms of races, Humans and Elves dominate, whereas Dwarf, Gnome, Githyanki, and Halfling are less frequently chosen. Interestingly, these four races are humorously suggested to form a “rad metal band.”

JiDion Leaves PRIME Energy Drink Amid Feud With Logan Paul

Famous online content creator JiDion has revealed information on his departure from the PRIME brand. JiDion, known for his streaming and YouTube presence has explained that he felt underappreciated when working with Logan Paul and KSI.

JiDion reaction to Dillion Danis Tweet has garnered the attention of Logan Paul which has resulted in a very public feud that has yielded a controversy involving the pair.

“Bro, I went this fucking hard for PRIME, where I literally risked maybe getting f*cking sued out my a**hole by Pepsi for sneaking into Gatorade HQ,” said JiDion.

“So, for Logan Paul to call me corny, a corny-ass live streamer, was I corny when I made that video for PRIME, Logan? Was that video corny?”

“I get sh*t on for joining PRIME. Then, I get sh*t on for moving seats when someone I thought was a friend asked me to move seats. Then, when I retaliate just a little bit because your brother comes at me… nah, f*ck that, bro.”

“I didn’t badmouth nobody. I just left. I didn’t feel wanted and I didn’t feel appreciated. I removed myself from the situation in the least drama-filled way possible.”

Now that everything is out in the open, KSI or Logan Paul have yet to address the remarks. JiDion’s comments have sparked controversy in the online community and now only time can tell where this drama leads.

Scout Voices Frustration Over Growing Hackers in BGMI

Scout Voices Frustration Over Growing Hackers in BGMI

Since the relaunch of Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) in May 2023, the game has been marred with a persistent problem – cheaters, or commonly referred as hackers. Although this is not a new problem, the amount of hackers is increasing at an exponential rate, rendering the game unplayable. Hackers erode the competitive spirit of the game. Furthermore, with the Battlegrounds Mobile India Series (BGIS) 2023 going on, this problem has become a curse to the underdog players. 

Popular Indian BGMI player and content creator, Tanmay “ScoutOP” Singh, recently spoke about the increasing number of hackers in the game. Scout also revealed how Krafton will solve this ongoing problem. Additionally, he also discussed the effect of hackers in the ongoing BGIS 2023.

Scout Talks About the Current Situation of Hackers in BGMI

In a recent livestream, Scout addressed the increasing number of hackers in BGMI. He humorously remarked, “While playing BGMI yesterday, I realized that hackers are not among us; we are among the hackers. It’s no longer surprising to encounter a hacker; it’s more surprising to encounter a legitimate player in the game.” 

He vividly depicted the chaotic scenario where players encountered not only the ordinary gameplay but also instances of players running like Flash and flying in the air. “All of this is happening. It’s a completely different scenario. Among seven to eight hackers, there’s perhaps one legitimate player,” he added.

Scout Hopes Krafton Will Soon Resolve the Hacking Issue

Turning his attention to the actions taken by the game’s developer, Krafton, Scout expressed his hope that the company would address the hacker issue. He speculated that Krafton would release a patch, to solve the vulnerabilities exploited by hackers. “This patch will likely come with an update of 10 to 15 MB, and it should fix the loopholes that these hackers have been exploiting. That’s what I believe will happen, because this happens everytime,” he explained.

Scout Reflects on the Impact of Hackers on BGIS 2023 and BGMI Esports

Scout discussed an extremely important topic – the impact of hackers on BGIS 2023 and BGMI esports. He delved into the possibility of cheaters emerging in competitions. He sarcastically said, “These players have worked so hard and out-of-the-world that made their aim so good; even our aim might not reach that level.”  Scout speculated that these hackers-turned-players might excel in the early stages of tournaments, as these stages usually take place online, where it is easy to use hacks. However, their performance might falter as the tournament shifts to the LAN stage, where they wouldn’t have the opportunity to use hacks.

Scout playfully suggested that these individuals might attribute their performance drop to the pressure of their first tournament finals, conveniently ignoring their previous use of hacks. “You could be one of the players that lost to these hackers; these hackers might not perform that well ever again (as they won’t use hacks). But they have used hacks to reach that level. They use magic to reach that level; and once they reach that level, they start working hard,” he added.

Aman Responds to Fans’ Call to Join Team SouL

Former Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) professional and S8UL Esports’ content creator, Aman Jain, recently addressed the mounting demand from Team SouL fans for his inclusion in the team. Negotiating between career aspirations and personal priorities, Aman highlighted his pursuit of upward career growth over retracing steps. Furthermore, Aman emphasized his commitment to his streaming career and underlined the uncertainties in esports.

Aman Explains Why He Doesn’t Want to Join Team SouL

In a recent livestream, Aman addressed the growing demand from Team SouL fans for him to join the team. Amidst this fervor, Aman navigated the delicate balance between his career ambitions and personal priorities. He emphasized his desire to aim for upward growth in his career rather than retracing his steps backward. “If I take that position again, you won’t see me on YouTube because I only have one focus at a time. If I want to win a trophy, my sole focus would be on winning the trophy; if I want to make my team win, my sole focus would be on that. Even though I might not have any skills or any strategy to achieve it, I will try my hardest to do it and achieve it. Now, I want to stream, so you will only see me streaming,” he explained.

Aman acknowledged his multi-talented nature but maintained that he believed in concentrating all his efforts on one thing that he is pursuing. “If I play BGMI tournaments today, I will try to play in a way that I can compete with every player in the community. If you ask why I don’t play tournaments, it’s because I want to make my career,” he added.

One of the most thought-provoking aspects of Aman’s statement was his honest acknowledgment of the uncertainties surrounding his performance in esports. Although he affirmed his ability to give his all in tournaments, he recognized that success wasn’t guaranteed. “I can’t say for sure if I will be suitable to play the game after three years. After those three years, I will have to resort to streaming and work hard here. That’s why I directly chose streaming,” he added.

Aman Believes His Relationship With Team SouL Players Has Transitioned from Friends to Colleagues

Aman also spoke about his relation with the players from Team SouL. He explained that his relationship with the players has transitioned from close friends to professional colleagues over the last few months. He added that they used to live together, but that wasn’t the case anymore. “I don’t know how their nature will be towards me. Secondly, I don’t know if they will listen to me because when everything happened professionally, our communication decreased a little. So, I don’t think they will listen to what I say, because they know 90% of what is wrong and what is right,” he added.

Lastly, Aman expressed his faith in the capability of Amit and Sid, implying that they are completely capable of handling the team.

Will Starfield have Multiplayer?

Will Starfield have Multiplayer?

Bethesda Studios, renowned for their epic RPGs like Skyrim and Fallout, is gearing up for the release of their next big title, Starfield. As the anticipation builds, one question remains at the forefront of discussions: Will Starfield feature multiplayer capabilities? Let’s dive into the details and address this burning question.

Starfield promises to transport players into a vast universe, allowing them to traverse galaxies and explore a myriad of intriguing planets. The game offers a rich character customization feature, enabling players to craft unique backstories and engage with a diverse set of in-game personalities. Some of these characters might even join the player’s journey as companions. But the question lingers – can players embark on this space adventure with their friends?

The allure of teaming up with friends for an intergalactic journey is undeniable. However, as of now, Starfield will not support multiplayer features. It is designed to be a purely single-player experience at its launch. While Bethesda’s mainline games like Elder Scrolls and Fallout have traditionally been single-player focused, the studio has ventured into the multiplayer realm with titles like Elder Scrolls Online and Fallout 76. This shift in direction leaves a glimmer of hope for potential multiplayer additions to Starfield in the future. However, Bethesda has not made any official announcements regarding this possibility.

While the absence of multiplayer might be a point of contention for some, it’s essential to remember that Bethesda’s strength lies in crafting immersive single-player narratives. Starfield is poised to be a testament to that legacy. As the gaming community awaits its release, it will be interesting to see if Bethesda eventually considers integrating multiplayer elements, given their recent forays into the multiplayer domain.

Epic Games Store offers 100% revenue share to developers for new releases in exclusive deal

Epic Games Store offers 100% revenue share to developers for new releases in exclusive deal

In a strategic move to bolster its position in the gaming marketplace, Epic Games Store has unveiled its “First Run” program. This initiative promises developers a full 100% of their net revenues for a six-month period, provided they launch their games or apps as exclusives on the Epic Games Store platform. Let’s delve deeper into the implications of this game-changing offer.

First Run Program

Traditionally, the revenue split between Epic Games Store and developers stands at 88% to 12%, with developers taking the larger share. However, with the First Run program, this dynamic shifts dramatically. Developers can now retain the entirety of their net revenues for half a year, post which the standard revenue split will resume. This offer is contingent on the developers’ commitment to launching their games or apps exclusively on the Epic Games Store for the specified duration.

Added Perks for Developers

Beyond the enticing revenue proposition, the First Run program brings additional benefits to the table. Games and apps under this initiative will enjoy heightened visibility on the Epic Games Store, thanks to exclusive badging, prime homepage placements, and inclusion in dedicated collections. Furthermore, these products will be spotlighted in various store campaigns, sales events, and editorial features, amplifying their reach to potential customers.

To qualify for the First Run program, games or apps must be new releases that haven’t been previously available on other third-party PC stores or included in subscription services on such platforms. Existing exclusivity agreements with the Epic Games Store disqualify products from this program. However, developers can simultaneously release their products on their own platforms, leveraging direct sales or Epic’s keyless redemption program.

Escape From Tarkov Arena Pre-Orders Now Available

The gaming community is buzzing with excitement as pre-orders for “Escape From Tarkov Arena” go live. This upcoming PvP multiplayer shooter has revealed a plethora of new details, yet the anticipation is further fueled by the absence of a confirmed release date. Let’s delve into the latest updates surrounding this much-awaited game.

Pre-Order Details

Gamers can now secure their spot in the “Escape From Tarkov Arena” universe by pre-ordering the game on the official website. Those who have previously invested in the “Edge of Darkness” edition of “Escape From Tarkov” are in for a treat, as they will receive access to the new game at no additional cost. The current pre-order price stands at 37 Euros, which not only guarantees access to the closed beta test but also comes with bonus in-game items. However, the dates for the beta test and the official game release remain shrouded in mystery.

The game’s presence at Gamescom in Germany has unveiled a wealth of information. Retaining the core combat mechanics from the original “Escape From Tarkov,” the Arena version introduces a PvP arena shooter experience, drawing parallels with iconic games like “Call of Duty.” Players can expect a seamless transition between the main game and the Arena, with character progression synchronized across both platforms. The game will feature four primary roles: assault, CQB, scout, and sniper, with weapon customization playing a pivotal role.

Maps and Game Modes

Out of the seven announced maps, four have been partially revealed, drawing inspiration from existing “Escape From Tarkov” maps. As for the gameplay modes, five have been listed, with “Shootout Tournament,” “Teamfight,” “Overrun,” and “Last Hero” offering diverse combat experiences, ranging from round-robin tournaments to standard deathmatches.

Dr Disrespect calls Madden 24 “the worst sports game in history”

Dr Disrespect calls Madden 24 “the worst sports game in history”

The gaming community is no stranger to passionate reviews, but when an influential figure like Dr. Disrespect shares his thoughts, it’s bound to make waves. Recently, the Two-Time didn’t hold back on his critique of Madden 24, a game that has been eagerly anticipated by NFL fans worldwide. Let’s unpack his sentiments and the broader reception of the game.

Every year, as summer wanes, NFL enthusiasts eagerly await the latest Madden release, hoping for innovations and improvements over the previous edition. Madden 24, however, has faced a tumultuous start. The early access phase was riddled with server error messages, preventing players from diving into the Ultimate Team or engaging in online modes. Such technical glitches can dampen the initial excitement and set a negative tone for the game’s overall reception.

Dr. Disrespect’ on Madden 24

While Dr. Disrespect’s athletic inclinations lean towards basketball, he’s an avid football enthusiast, particularly a San Francisco 49ers fan. He’s even been involved in announcing draft picks and rallying the crowd for his favorite team’s playoff games. As a regular Madden player, who has even showcased his prowess by outplaying fellow streamer TimTheTatman in this year’s edition, his critique carries weight. His succinct review on Twitter didn’t mince words: “Madden 24 is probably the worst sports game in history.” This sentiment was echoed by many in the gaming community, further fueling the debate around the game’s quality.

Dr. Disrespect’s views are not isolated. Madden 24 has received a lukewarm response from various quarters. Dexerto’s rating stands at a mere 2 out of 5, and the game’s Metacritic score isn’t painting a rosy picture either. With EA SPORTS gearing up for their NCAA Football reboot, it’s uncertain if significant updates to address Madden 24’s issues are on the horizon.
