Fortnite: All Empty Pizza Boxes Locations for April O’Neil Quest

0

Fortnite Chapter 5, Season 1 is in full swing as players are rushing to find the 3 empty pizza boxes that the developers have strategically placed around the underground HQ to make it harder to find. Contained in said Pizza boxes are the clues ahead of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles event. This guide will provide the exact locations for all 3 empty pizza boxes.

Box 1 Location

Located just outside the entrance of the underground HQ, you’ll notice the first pizza box lying empty beside a brown supply crate. Once you’ve descended the stairs into the depths of the underground tunnels, make a prompt left turn and scan the floor for the unmistakable red box.

While it may be a noticeable spot near the HQ entrance, don’t be surprised if the box blends in with its rocky surroundings. Stay vigilant and you’ll soon come across the bright red box waiting to be discovered.

Box 2 Location

Go into the depths of the underground headquarters to discover the next pizza box. Take a right turn from the first box and make your way through the door, leading you to an area adorned with train tracks. And there, in the center, gleams a majestic display case showcasing powerful weapons.

But don’t be distracted by the alluring display – for it is right beside this very case that you’ll stumble upon the second pizza box, carelessly left on the ground. Don’t let the dim lighting fool you, though. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled, for the box may blend in with the shadows.

Box 3 Location

As you enter the dead-end room, the third and last pizza box awaits you, carefully hidden away. Directly from the second box, take a right through the door enclosed by a fence. Climb up the stairs and pass through the elegant blue drapes, revealing a room filled with boxes and pillars. To find the final pizza box in Fortnite, simply check around the pillar on your right, tucked away in the corner.

iShowSpeed disappointed as Messi starts Al-Nassr vs Inter Miami from bench

0

iShowSpeed has become a permanent audience in almost all of the hyped football matches across the globe and no way he would miss the Al-Nassr vs Inter Miami friendly match.

Al-Nassr vs Inter Miami has been a hot topic in the football community given it could present the last opportunity for Lionel Messi to play against Cristiano Ronaldo. Their rivalry has driven football fans across the world for years and as two greats of the game embrace the twilight of their careers, fans would not miss the chance to see them go head to head even though both players are far from their peaks.

iShowSpeed has been an avid follower of Cristiano Ronaldo and has attended most of his important matches in person lately. Right after the tickets went for sale, he announced he would be attending the match to no one’s surprise. The surprise came when Ronaldo got injured and was ruled out of the match thus watering down all the excitement and anticipation that fans built for months.

However, as a part of the agreement, Messi made an appearance in the final 10 minutes of the game and fans got something out of it. Speed was able to meet with the Inter Miami team but to his misfortune, Messi wasn’t starting and thus he couldn’t get a chance to meet him before kickoff.

It would have been very exciting to see if Speed had it in him to do something crazy when he met Messi but we won’t put it past him. He was able to meet Messi’s teammates namely, Suarez, Alba, Busquets and the rest of the Miami team but for obvious reasons, Messi’s presence would hit differently.

Comparisons and discussions about the game’s resemblance to other monster-taming franchises like Pokémon have not deterred the enthusiastic player base. The game’s distinct approach and the engaging world it offers have fueled its growth and the fervent community it has cultivated.

Furthermore, developer PocketPair is not resting on its laurels. The team has laid out a roadmap promising critical fixes in the short term and exciting content updates in the long run.

Pokimane Announces Departure from Twitch, Citing Desire for Independence and Inclusivity

0

Pokimane, one of Twitch’s most prominent streamers, recently announced her departure from the platform after over a decade. The decision, she revealed in her podcast “Don’t Tell Anyone with Pokimane,” was driven by a desire for greater independence and to distance herself from the increasingly toxic culture on Twitch, which she referred to as “manosphere, red pill bullshit.”

Pokimane criticized the platform for its management, moderation, and handling of partnerships, expressing frustration with Twitch’s approach to changes and its slow response to issues, particularly concerning the ban process.

Furthermore, she highlighted the male-dominated nature of the community on Twitch and the regression she’s observed, particularly the normalization of bigotry and other troubling behaviors.

Despite her long-standing relationship with Twitch, Pokimane emphasized her goal to foster a safe and inclusive environment, something she felt the platform was lacking, especially for minority streamers.

In pursuit of this vision, she plans to explore streaming on other platforms like YouTube, aiming for a broader reach and a more diverse, welcoming community

Snax Talks About the Realities of Esports Players’ Salaries and Sustainability

0

Renowned Indian Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) professional player, Raj “Snax” Varma, recently addressed a critical aspect of the esports industry that sparked a wave of discussions among his fanbase. Snax shed light on the misconceptions surrounding esports salaries, stating the challenges and realities that aspiring players face.

Snax Clarifies that Only Top BGMI Esports Players Get High Salaries

In a recent live stream, Snax clarified a statement he made earlier, stating that in esports, players get a salary between INR 1 lakh to 2.5 lakh. He expressed concern that many viewers misunderstood this as the basic package for all esports players. In reality, Snax highlighted that only a select few at the top players get such high salary. “Only the players at the top level get this kind of salary; there are hardly 15-20 players that get this kind of salary,” he said.

“Viewers who were thinking that 1 to 2 lakh salary is a huge thing for someone coming from a middle class family. However, you didn’t take into account that you will get it as long as you perform. When your downfall starts, it ends. Players grind for three to four years to get such a salary,” he said.

Snax’s Advice to Aspiring Esports Players

Snax adviced aspiring esports professionals to always have a backup plan. He stressed the volatility of the industry, highlighting the need for players to prepare for unforeseen circumstances. “When you reach the peak level, you can start working on your YouTube channel and your personality so that you sustain for a long time,” he added.

Snax clarified that he does not advocate leaving esports. Instead, he sees it as a stepping stone to greater opportunities. “Esports is the only thing right now that can help you reach at the top level. What I mean to say is, if you want to become like MortaL, you can’t start directly with content creation; you must start with esports,” he explained.

Snax’s insights provide a realistic perspective on the current condition of the esports industry. Aspiring gamers would do well to heed Snax’s words, recognizing the importance of dedication, strategic planning, and adaptability in the ever-evolving landscape of competitive gaming.

0

If you’re a fan of North American Counter-Strike, chances are that you’re familiar with ‘Fragadelphia’ – a renowned LAN and online tournament series serving as an incubator for emerging talent in the region.

Recently, Fragadelphia unveiled their latest venture into the Valorant esports scene with an announcement of organizing a LAN tournament. On January 13, Fragadelphia revealed Frag/ment, a Valorant LAN tournament scheduled for March 15 to 17.

However, plans took an unexpected turn as the event faced a setback due to a lack of teams willing to sign up.

On January 30th, the official Fragadelphia X handle confirmed that Frag/ment had been converted to a Counter-Strike 2 tournament due to zero teams signing up for the Valorant event.

The tournament was originally planned to host 32 teams competing in a three-day LAN event at the TAP Esports Center in Philadelphia.

Following the event’s transition to CS2 due to a lack of sign-ups, the core structure of the tournament remains unchanged.

This marks Fragadelphia’s third event in two months, following Fragicago in December and the Fragadelphia x GXL event held earlier this month.

Interested players can check out the tournament’s official website to sign up for the event.
