How The Coronavirus is Impacting the PS5, Xbox Series X, and More

Similar to the League of Legends cancellation, the Overwatch League also saw delays , as the February and March matches in China have also been cancelled due to concerns of the Wuhan Coronavirus. Both of these cancelled events will surely impact both Blizzard and Riot, as these esports leagues tend to draw in massive crowds for both the present audience, as well as online. However, it’s likely the esports players and teams that will likely be feeling these delays the hardest, as their livelihoods are built on their performance and sponsorsh

The gaming industry is a huge mix of companies around the globe, all working to deliver the gaming experiences that fans love. This is how surprises like The Outer Worlds Switch port delay can happen as a result of the Coronavirus, even though the development studio, Obsidian Entertainment, is located in California.

With both Akaadian and Dardoch now on their active roster, a decision on who the starting jungler will be is expected to come within the next week. Whoever wins the job, the other will be sent down to Academy. Either way, Dignitas will look to improve this split in hopes of making a playoff

DIG came into the season with fairly high expectations, fielding a roster of grizzled veterans and up-and-coming rookie Johnson «Johnsun» Nguyen. After the team benched Grig ahead of week 7 , Dignitas finished the disappointing season with Akaadian as their jungler. They did well with him, going 4-4, just barely missing out on the playo

«No one wants to pick up Dardoch, that’s not my fault.» In what was perhaps the most talked-about news in League of Legends this year, Team SoloMid president Leena Xu’s controversy with Yiliang «Doublelift» Peng and Joshua «Dardoch» Hartnett caused an explosion in the community when Leena was overheard on Doublelift’s stream saying in a phone call that now-infamous series of words. Well, it turns out she was wrong, as the twenty-two-year-old jungler became the latest player to sign with Digni

Ssumday also had a solid game during 100 Thieves’ first game of the week against TSM, but couldn’t manage to get the win alongside his struggling teammates. During week 5, Ssumday led all top laners in KDA (kill/death/assist ratio) with 6, while also managing to get a whopping 3 solo kills, cementing himself as one of the week’s best players. Currently sitting in 6th place at 4-6, 100 Thieves will continue to count on Ssumday to be their driving force for the remaining half of the sea

If you’ve been following China’s League of Legends Pro League for a while, then you’re probably aware of LGD’s consistently poor performances in recent years. However, this may be coming to an end, or so their fans hope, with the additions of former RNG top laner Xie «Langx» Zhen-Ying and former Dominus players Ling «Mark» Xu and Su «xiye» Han-

This is a mid to late-game build that has Tahm Kench stepping in as a support when needed and acting as a one on one champion dueler when not needed. In the beginning of the game you’ll want to farm in Top Lane with most upgrades going to Tongue Lash and a few points spread across the other abilit

Flyquest has outperformed all exceptions this split, in large part due to their 22 year old German mid laner. Along with having the coolest name in the LCS, PowerOfEvil has led his team to four victories in a row. During week 5 he flexed his expansive champion pool, playing Orianna against Golden Guardians and Corki against Counter Logic Gaming, both firsts for him this split. PowerOfEvil was also the first player in the world to win a game as Corki this year. Immortals’ Eika and DAMWON Gaming’s ShowMaker in Korea were the only other players to use Corki, both losing their games on t he daring bombardier . As Flyquest looks to finish out the season strong, they will lean on PowerOfEvil to be a dominant force in the mid l

There’s a lot to unpack from 2020’s first international tournament, from Korean champs T1 being eliminated in the group stage, to Kang «TheShy» Seung-lok’s concerning performances. But pop over here are five of the biggest takeaways from the 2020 Mid-Season

Formerly the mid laner of Berlin Internatioal Gaming of the Prime League Pro Division, Dirk «ZaZee» Mallner recently joined SK as the team’s starting mid laner, switching Janik «Jenax» Bartels to the top lane. The team also brought in twenty-three-year-old Jesse «Jesiz» Le to be the team’s new head coach, who actually played mid lane for SK back in November 2013 to October 2014. Still led by veteran jungler Kim «Trick» Gang-yun, SK hopes their 2020 summer will be vastly different from their 2020 spr
