When Is Valorant Coming for Consoles

0

Valorant is by far the most talked about esport title in the world ahead of the likes of CSGO, Dota, FIFA and many more. With more and more players signing up for playing the game, Riot has the validation for them to explore unattended territories with the game.

Having promised Valorant game for mobile phones, Riot is likely exploring the options with leading consoles like Xbox and PlayStation or so suggests the job listings. Truth be told, the game was clearly designed to play with a mouse and keyboard and moving onto consoles would make the mechanics even more difficult.

As of now, there is nothing besides said job listings that indicate Riot might go all in on bringing the massively successful game onto consoles. However, the impact that it will have on the esports scene is still too far-fetched to speculate. An esports scene around the mobile version of the game might grow given how PUBG mobile and Free Fire have fared.

At some point in the future, we might be blessed with a Valorant console game but nowhere in the near future. It is likely that the game would not come to life before 2024 but looking at how Riot does the work, they launch it in the most grandiose ways.

The wait for a console version of Valorant is long and it is likely that we will come across a mobile version of the game. However, given the game is not designed for consoles, getting too excited might end up in disappointment.

BGMI Unban Date in India 2022: Unban Soon?

Krafton Inc, the developers of PUBG and Battlegrounds Mobile India recently released the following statement in the month of October 2022. It is believed that the rough meaning of the statement is a reference to the reasons why BGMI was banned and also how the company is working to get the ban lifted.

A recent press release, which announced the Q3 results, stated a few things regarding BGMI. The release concluded with developers saying that they’re working to revive BGMI solutions in India.

BGMI has been banned from India at the end of July at the request of the Indian government due to concerns about the privacy of its users being violated and also being linked to China in some way.

The ban has affected the distribution system of BGMI since the game continues to be played with its old version, but the newer version of content can’t be added and its marketplace listings for Apple, as well as Google Play Store, have been removed too.

This ban was officially recognized a few weeks ago as an RTI query confirmed that BGMI is blocked in India.

Krafton had stated earlier that they were working with the Indian government to bring back the game and players were expecting that BGMI could come back by 15th August but no announcement was made since that time.

KRAFTON SAYS IT IS TAKING EFFORTS TO BRING BACK BGMI

Now, this press release is the first new official source of information that has confirmed that Krafton is still involving the unblocking activity. The concluding statement made in the report is as follows:

“Finally, KRAFTON is continuing its efforts to resume services for BGMI and will continue investing in the Indian gaming market.”

Adding to this, the recent statement made in October 2022 states the following; identifying the root cause as to why the game was banned. The spokesperson also mentioned that PUBG Mobile was earlier linked with Chinese publishers; implying Tencent; and same has been implied for BGMI release as well.

“India stated concerns about breaches in cyber security along with violence in games as reasons for blocking [the game].

This is a statement of reassurance for the entire BGMI community as the developers are still working on the comeback and there is a lingering possibility that BGMI unban can be a reality soon.

Ludwig wins Game Award 2022 for Content Creator of the year

0

Ludwig has won the Game Award for the year for 2022 under the Content Creator of the year category. Ludwig Anders Ahlgren who left Twitch to stream exclusively on YouTube has made enough of a mark for 2022 to beat all 5 nominees and take the award home.

Ludwig was nominated alongside his partner QTCinderella and Karl Jacobs, Nibellion, Nobru, however, it wasn’t difficult to choose a winner given how they performed in 2022. The award is given to the streamer that “made an important and positive impact on the community.” and Ludwig wins by a mile.

Ludwig put the pen on paper with YouTube for a lucrative deal when his contract with Twitch ran out. He became one of the many prominent names who had left Twitch and made a mark on YouTube. Like many other top streamers who did the same, Ludwig did not take much time to build a viewer base and was able to hit the ground running almost instantly.

On the 12th Streamy Award, Ludwig has been named the best Content Creator of the Year award and the best Variety Streamer award before this. Following a successful 2022, the decision to award him with said accolades cannot be argued against.

For the entirety of 2022, Ludwig has been more than just active. Suffice it to say, he has been actively organizing events outside streaming platforms and keeping the community engaged with some activity every now and then. This community engagement has been a big influencer for the jury.

The winner was chosen by a jury and only 10% of the total votes were influenced by the community. With little to argue on the behalf of other streamers, it can be assumed that it was a landslide victory for Ludwig.

Makiplier joins OnlyFans; Internet Reacts

0

Markiplier is one of the content creators that defined YouTube as a platform. Starting with commentary videos, Markiplier has grown into one of the greatest online comedians with his unique style of humour. His career resembles the likes of PewDiePie and JackSepticEye, no wonder they are good friends.

Although his content doesn’t align with what OnlyFans offer but his twisted sense of humour popped the idea of opening an account on the adult platform. On the 8th of December, the long-anticipated account came to fruition as a fan bot account announced it on Twitter along with a screenshot.

In the buildup towards Markiplier a bot account was set up that provided any and all updates surrounding his OnlyFans, even though it did not have much to report until today, suffice it to say that the bot will be pretty busy from here on out.

In a video uploaded earlier today, Markiplier officially announced his OnlyFans account with an odd tone of sarcasm. Twitter users got the news trending in no time as the platform was flooded with memes, not an unprecedented reaction but Markiplier probably saw things coming and banked on it to spread the word.

“All right you impatient, thirsty gremlins. You win! You’re going to get my OnlyFans! But it’s not here yet! All of you hunting around for the right URL are being played for a fool! Because my official OnlyFans doesn’t exist yet. I still need to get my username from the person who is impersonating me! So until you see me make a video called, ‘Here!’ where I say, ‘The OnlyFans link is in the description below!’ You know it’s not official yet.” said Markiplier in his video.

Now that we finally have a Markiplier OnlyFans account after a month of waiting and now we have to wait for his first post. Knowing him, he would probably go for something ironic and humorous.

Madden NFL 23: How Did Last Year’s NFL Predictions Go?

0

Predictions play an important role when it comes to NFL – they allow us to compare teams, get a better idea of what to expect throughout the season, and help us to place bets to win a bit of cash. Of course, their predictions are based on a few factors, like last season, and players that have been added to the team, and we cannot rely on them to accurately predict what’s going to happen – as we saw this season with a few unexpected successes – which we will look at in more detail below. There were 256 props on last years Super Bowl at one sportsbook, so it’s safe to say it’s one of the most diverse events when it comes to bets you can choose from! But how did the predictions for last year turn out? We’ll look back at some of the teams, their predictions, and how they measured up last season. 

The Rams 

If you follow NFL, you’ll know that the Los Angeles Rams lifted the trophy at the SoFi stadium last year, as they went up against the mighty Cincinnati Bengals, to beat them 20 -23 on the day. When it comes to predictions, The Rams were not said to be in the top 3 when it came to expected winners of the Super Bowl last year, in fact, they were actually ranked 4th. The team managed to beat the Bengals to come out on top – their first Super Bowl win since 2000.  The Rams had a record of 12-5 last season and won five titles over the course of 2021/2022, such as the Wild Card Playoffs, Divisional Playoffs, NFC championship and, of course, The Super Bowl. 

The 49ers 

The San Francisco 49ers are next up as we take a look at how their odds last season measured up. It was their 72nd season in the NFL, and 5th year under the leadership of Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch. The team managed to improve their record from the 2020 season, and even managed to go ahead and win 7 of the last 9 games they played. One of the most notable wins was over The Rams in week 18. The 49ers clawed back from being beaten 17-0, to win 27-24. This helped them to get into the playoffs. Their team had some prominent achievements too, having the 5th best defence in the leagueThe 49ers were ranked first to win the Super Bowl last year – which they didn’t manage to pull off, but they did manage to reach the NFC title game.  

The Chiefs 

The Kansas City-based Chiefs were ranked overall 5th when it came to predictions last year, but they managed to reach their conference game. Their record was 12-5 throughout the season, and they hosted their conference championship – but unfortunately, although making it this far, they couldn’t quite hold off the Bengals, and lost 24-27 in overtime. The Chiefs managed to come 1st in the AFC West Division and won their Wild Card Playoffs against The Steelers. They also racked up another win against the Bills in the Divisional Playoffs. Generally, the Chiefs had a good year, coming top of their conference – better than the predictions may have shown! 

The Bengals 

The Cincinnati Bengals caused the biggest shake-up when it came to predictions and how the season would pan out for them. Although many said that they would be an improved team, they blew that prediction out of the water. Ranked incredibly low down the pecking order when it comes to who would make it to the Super Bowl, this team proved sportsbooks and experts all over the country – if not the world – wrong! The Bengals made it all the way to the Super Bowl to go head-to-head with the Rams, who were undoubtedly higher up the list than them – and although they didn’t win, the margin was tight – as the LA team pipped them to the win by just 3 points. A team that was understated but proved everyone wrong. 

FIFA 23: 5 Premier League Shocks Of The Season So Far

0

Premier League football is one of the most popular football leagues worldwide. With the season running from August to May, there is plenty of matches for fans to get their teeth into, whether your team is playing or not! The Premier League started early this year to accommodate the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and is set to get back underway after a short break on the 26th of December – so now is a great time to reflect on what we’ve seen so far! At Midnite, you can take advantage of the best odds, and place your bets for the coming season. Here are some of the biggest shocks we’ve seen in the Premier League so far. 

Liverpool’s loss to Nottingham Forest

On the 22nd of October this year, Nottingham Forest welcomed Liverpool to the City Ground. Last season, Liverpool were highflyers, and contenders for winning the Premier League, so it’s safe to say that teams coming up against them this season may have been worried about the onslaught such a skilled team could unleash – especially on a newly promoted Nottingham Forest. However, the 22/23 season didn’t get off to a great start for the Liverpudlian side. After winning 9-0 against Bournemouth in August, the team couldn’t seem to keep up the momentum, drawing with Brighton and losing to Arsenal in the weeks proceeding. Coming up against Nottingham, fans would not have been expecting a 1-0 win for Forest, after a 55th-minute goal from Awoniyi – especially with Nottingham only having 24% possession throughout the whole game! 

Brentford’s victory over Manchester United 

On the 13th of August, we saw Man Utd head to the Gtech Community Stadium to take on the Bees in one of the first Premier League matches of the season. But little did we know what an action-packed game it would turn out to be. Manchester were facing a tumultuous time before the end of the 21/22 season, but with a new manager getting stuck in, fans were keen to see if they could start off on the right foot. A ruthless attack from the Brentford side in the first half saw 4 Brentford goals in the back of the net, one from Dasilva in the 10th minute. Whilst the second half was less eventful, there was a shot for Eriksen to try and claw back a consolation goal for the side. Brentford managed to keep a clean sheet, sending Manchester United to the bottom of the table. A truly historic, and unforgettable day for both teams. 

Liverpool’s late winner at St. James 

Another Liverpool highlight making it into the list, this time as they faced Newcastle on the 31st of August. Again, if we’re basing opinions on last season, this match could be hard to predict, with Newcastle growing stronger. They had a new addition to the team in this particular match, Alexander Isak, signed from Real Sociedad, and fans were eager to see how the Swede would slot into the team as a striker. However, Liverpool still remain one of the strongest teams in the league, and there is no denying that.

 Approaching the end of the first half, new signing Isak scored for Newcastle, sending them into the lead. But the joy was soon to be over, as a goal from Roberto Firmino took Liverpool level. But this is when it all got a bit controversial. Both teams were level on goals as 90 minutes approached, to which 5 extra minutes were added. Newcastle had further injuries throughout the added minutes which found the teams playing 3 minutes more – where Liverpool’s Carvalho slotted a goal into the net in the 98th minute. Newcastle fans felt understandably cheated by this, whilst Liverpool couldn’t quite believe their luck. 

Thomas Tuchel Sacked from Chelsea 

When it comes to shocks, this is one of the biggest, and not many of us can say we saw this one coming. After being appointed by Chelsea in 2021 and winning the Champions League with the team – the club parted ways with Thomas Tuchel in September 2022 after just a year at the club. Parting ways with the manager came approximately 24 hours after Chelsea were defeated by Croatian team Dinamo Zagreb. Fans and those of us that follow the premier league were left confused by the sacking. Chelsea had a bumpy start to the 2022/23 season with only a handful of wins. It has been said that Tuchel parted ways with the team as they didn’t share the same views, and the team needed a change with it came to collaboration. Chelsea then went on to poach Graham Potter from fellow PL side, Brighton. 

Leeds’s victory over Chelsea 

Another shock that we saw at the start of the season was a game between Northern side Leeds, and Londoners Chelsea, who travelled North to Elland Road on the 21st of August this year. The game was one of the most exciting we’ve seen in a while – as you’d be expecting Chelsea to take the win against Leeds, who have been anything but consistent in the past! Brenden Aaronson opened the scoring at 33 minutes for Leeds, closely followed by Rodrigo 5 minutes after. Giving Leeds a 2-0 advantage. The third goal from Jack Harrison at 69 minutes sealed the deal for Leeds, but it wasn’t over yet. In the 84th minute, Kalidou Koulibaly received a second yellow card for a foul, resulting in a red and getting him sent off! A 3-0 win for Leeds, and a game that Chelsea would rather forget.
