And they sure showed off... things?

Yesterday, Capcom held their virtual E3 2021 showcase that offered fans a look at, uh, a few things that they're working on. We found out that Resident Evil Re:Verse, that multiplayer game free to those that own Resident Evil Village, will be released in July. I'm sure there are a few people excited about it.

Oh, speaking of Resident Evil Village, Capcom said that they just started on DLC for it. That's... really all they said. Like...

EA and Respawn are taking a little inspiration from Valve on this one.

Respawn and Electronic Arts just announced their plans to crowdfund this year's Apex Legends Global Series Championship to upwards of $3 million. This will happen through the sale of item bundles that will be available for purchase for a limited time.

There will be a total of four different bundles available for sale: Mechameleon, Board to Death, Wild Speed, and Silverback. Each will cost 2500 Apex...

The esports industry is becoming increasingly popular, with the biggest fixtures regularly drawing audiences in the millions. Prize money for tournaments can be substantial, but securing a reliable income from such sources is an unrealistic prospect for many. Even the most successful esports players subsidize tournament prizes with other revenue streams, with paid sponsorship and streaming activity providing esports careers with more of a conventional salary model.


How...

2021 has not had the best starts, most notably because of the current pandemic which we are all currently facing and suffering the effects of.

Still, online gaming has been quite a good...

With the Call of Duty League Play finally underway again after the winter break, CoD fans are started to get excited on how this season is going to pan out. Having played the weekend warm-up preliminary games and the first and second round of fixtures underway, we are starting to get a feel for how the league is going to pan out this year and which teams to look out for and below we showcase who we believe are the top three teams in the league this year.

Of course, Atlanta FaZe are...

Serie A giants AC Milan might be one of the most recognizable names in European soccer, but now the Italian side are dipping their toe into the world of eSports too.

Milan were one of the dominant forces in European soccer in the early nineties, winning the prestigious Champions League on three occasions in six years. They have lifted it twice since, and remain as iconic and illustrious as they once were, despite the lack of silverware to back that up.

They are...

Controllers only.

The 2021 season for the Call of Duty League is making the move to the personal computer, or PC for short. The league, which was typically played on the PlayStation 4, will make its PC debut for this upcoming 2021 season.

There's just one small catch.

Even though the league will be playing on PCs in 2021, players will not be allowed to use a mouse and keyboard.



That sure is a weird thing to mandate. Why move to PC...

New tournaments join returning tournaments.

Electronic Arts and FIFA just announced a larger and "evolved" EA Sports FIFA 20 esports series. This means new competitions and returning football (soccer for some of us) league tournaments. This also means online tournaments that will replace the EA Sports FIFA 20 Global Series including the FIFA eWorld Cup. These new additions and returning competitions are an extension of the popular EA Sports FIFA Stay and Play Cup.

Today we take a look at some of the strongest mid-laners in Dota 2 that will help you gain MMR or simply win games in normal Dota 2 matches.

The meta of Dota 2 changes frequently, and it’s nothing like it was a few years ago. Still, the mid position is the second most important position in the game, and that’s why it’s called the position 2.

Almost no pub game starts without a fight for who will take the mid lane, because people know how much of an impact...

Gaming is political.

Dominique "SonicFox" McLean won the Mortal Kombat 11 Pro Kompetition finals held on March 8. The competition was a joint venture between WBIE, NetherRealm Studios, and Intersports. The finals were held in Chicago at the Park West theater. SonicFox, playing as The Joker, went up against CGL NinjaKilla_212 in the Grand Finals.
