As fans gear up for the extravaganza, the announcement of ticket costs has taken center stage, leaving enthusiasts in shock and sparking conversations across various platforms.

On the landmark date of August 19, Valve, the driving force behind DOTA 2, pulled back the curtain to unveil the grand spectacle slated to unfold in Seattle, WA.

Team SouL’s Coach Amit Discusses His Decision to Bench Goblin

Team SouL’s star assaulter Harsh “Goblin” Paudwal and in-game leader (IGL) Sahil “Omega” Jakhar fell ill on 16th August. This illness posed a significant hindrance for Team SouL on the third day of Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) Masters Series (BGMS) Season 2 League Week 2. This day was particularly crucial for Team SouL as they had to participate in three matches.

Despite the illness, Omega displayed resilience by battling through high fever to compete on ths pivotal day. Notably, just a day before falling ill, Team SouL’s Manager Siddhant “Sid” Joshi had announced that Goblin was benched from the team. However, since then, Goblin has been absent from both BGMS Season 2 and Battlegrounds Mobile India Series (BGIS) 2023 matches.

Team SouL’s Coach Amit “Amit” Dubey recently talked about Goblin’s absence from the team. He revealed that Goblin was sidelined from the team due to his lackluster performance. He added that he cannot provide a definitive answer for Goblin’s return.

Team SouL Coach Amit Opens Up About Benching Goblin

In a recent live stream, a viewer asked Amit about Goblin’s return to the playing four of Team SouL. Responding to this, he stated that there cannot be a clear answer to this question when a player is benched. “The only way to answer this question is to remove one of my players from the team and then I can tell you the playing four,” he added.

He explained that if there are five players on a team, the playing four would be decided based on performance of the players. He added that the four players that are performing well will be on the team, and the players with a lackluster performance will have to sit out. “We have previously benched Hector, Akshat and Neyo. It is true that Omega has currently played the most number in the team and that’s because no one else can take up the role of IGL,” he added.

Amit further explained that there wasn’t a direct correlation between Goblin’s presence on the team and the team’s performance. He added that it is not necessarily true that when Goblin joins, the team will perform better or even worse. “There are a lot of ifs and buts possibilities. But the thing is, the four players that are on the same page, are playing on the team,” he added.

Team SouL, once considered the best BGMI team, has been struggling to make a mark in BGMS Season 2. On the other hand, it has shown impressive performance in the BGIS 2023 so far.

All Valorant Breeze Changes Explained in Episode 7 Act 2

0

Riot Games has just confirmed a revamp of the map ‘Breeze’ in Valorant, and it’s all set to be introduced to the competitive shooter alongside the upcoming Episode 7 Act 2 update.

Starting from the next Act, Breeze will be a part of the active map pool of Valorant, which means that players will be able to play the map in Competitive once again once the update hits the live servers.

Unfortunately, fans will have to bid farewell to Fracture and Pearl for the time being. The devs have stated that the two maps will be removed from the map pool with the Episode 7 Act 2 update. However, they’re likely to be added back into the game in a future Act.

Valorant Episode 7 Act 2 Update: All Breeze Changes 

Riot Games has confirmed a number of interesting changes to Breeze as the company gears up to reintroduce the map into competitive play. Let’s take a look at all the new Breeze changes that we know of so far:

  • The size of the Mid area has been reduced significantly, leaving Attackers with much less room to wrap around the giant pillar. Defenders will have an easier time holding down the choke point in mind, but they’ll have to remain wary as their enemies can still choose to jump on top of the newly-added boxes to catch them off-guard
  • The A-site of Breeze has received some massive changes. The entrance to the A-site from Halls has been closed off for the Attackers, who will now have to route to the bombsite through the shop. The Cave area has also been blocked off, leaving Attackers with even fewer options.
  • The B-site and the Mid doors have also received some changes which will undoubtedly impact the way gunfights are taken in those areas. However, they aren’t as significant as the A-site changes.

The new and updated Breeze will be added to Valorant alongside the upcoming Episode 7 Act 2 update on August 29, 2023.
