I was at a Magic: The Gathering (coming soon to a column near you) event this past weekend, which meant that, coupled with the unfortunate time zone difference, I didn’t get to watch a minute of All-Stars live.
After Europe’s best overall showing at Worlds since Season One, it might seem a bit obvious to say that the LEC is going to be fascinating next year.
Well, last week I made a bit of a mistake, didn’t I? It felt like, within seconds of me submitting an article that featured the phrase “slow news week” a million different esports stories broke.
It’s been a bit of a slow news week as far as esports is concerned.
I have to be careful what I say here, but Astralis might be the best Counter-Strike team of all time.
And just like that it was all over for another year. Worlds 2018 is finished and all we have left is memories, possibly regrets and possibly, if you’re Chinese, a night you will never forget.
It’s sadly typical that the best worlds of all time (I think we’re all in agreement on that now, right?) should have such a boring pair of semi-finals.
One of the funnier quirks of being an esports journalist is that, oftentimes, the world is a better place when you are made to look like an idiot.
It’s typical really, isn’t it? You write one slightly gloating article about the struggles of your rival region and they go and qualify ahead of your second seed just to get back at you. Still, it could be worse: I could be a Gen G fan.
At the risk of sounding dismissive, it’s finally times for the Worlds to start properly.
Thanks to a stomach bug, I’m writing this article two days into Worlds play-ins. On the bright side, it means I have a little more to go on than just pre-tournament speculation.
The biggest event on the Counter-Strike calendar is reaching its climax. After weeks of hard-fought games, the two best teams are battling to decide which is the absolute best.
We started with 24 teams and now we’re down to just eight. With a $1 million prize pool on offer, the atmosphere at this Counter-Strike: Global Offensive tournament is sure to only get crazier from here.
Over the years, I’ve heard just about every reason you can imagine for wanting something nerfed in a game.
It’s Major time, boys and girls! I don’t know about you, but I cannot wait. It’s been too long. No, really, Valve, it’s too long. Give us more.
In a few months’ time, we will crown the world champions – the best team in the world. Right now, though, we don’t even know who the best team in each region is.
Much has been written about the alleged decline of Korean League of Legends in 2018.
I can’t believe I, or anyone else, need to say this, but it is not okay to twist the nipple of a person you don’t know. The victim being a celebrity in his field does not change that.
Shh, don’t tell anyone, but I’ve always secretly preferred the NA LCS to the European one.
After weeks (or is it months?) of innovation and weirdness, the League of Legends meta-game is finally starting to settle somewhat.
That was definitely the “oh my god it’s really happening” moment, I agree.
Anyone can win Worlds this year: Why not G2?
