The first LAN event of the 2024 Apex Legends Global Series finally wrapped up after four days of intense competition. One team claimed LAN glory and the lion’s share of the million-dollar prize pool, but all participating teams in the Match Point Finals still walked away with multiple rewards for their final placement. The Split One Playoffs are the first of three LAN events in the 2024 competitive year, culminating with the Championship, where the top 40 global teams qualify through Playoff Points, with the first 30 decided through placement in the Split One and Split Two LAN events.  Want…

In a stacked tournament full of favorites from dominant regions like North America and APAC South, REJECT WINNITY became the first APAC North team to ever win an Apex Legends Global Series LAN, and the first team to do it not named TSM, DarkZero, or Reignite. The South Korean trio of Obly, KaronPe, and SangJoon wrote their names into Apex lore with their consistency and refusal to abandon the team composition that led them to the grand final. They were the only team in the finals lobby to run a Wattson, the traditionally defensive character long out of player favor…

FlyQuest are out of MSI 2024 after losing to PSG Talon in the play-in stage. Mid laner Jensen admitted to underestimating their opponent. Following the loss to PSG Talon on May 5, the League of Legends player said FlyQuest disrespected the Taiwanese team after beating them in their opening game. The North American squad expected to beat PSG in the elimination match but failed miserably and lost 2-0. “When you lose, you take a lot more away from the series than when you win. And so I think they [PSG] probably realized what mistakes they made against us. And when…

Caedrel gave his verdict on who was to blame for FlyQuest’s disappointing run at MSI 2024. Following the loss, the former League of Legends pro and caster stumbled upon a screen on X (formerly Twitter), saying Inspired was the only FlyQuest player performing in the squad, given his KDA. But Caedrel disagreed, pointing out the Pole’s selfish playstyle was one of the main reasons FlyQuest lost in the first place. “This is POV: You get all the kills on your team and MVP on OP.GG, but then you blame your teammates when you’re the one who secretly inted it, but…

League of Legends fans across the world lost faith in North America winning Worlds a long time ago. On May 5, however, a retired pro Zven showcased why the region has no chances of doing so. The former Danish League player tried to enjoy some high rank solo queue in his latest stream. After finding a game, someone dodged it by the end of pick and ban phase, which returned Zven to lobby, where he had spent almost 25 minutes before. Zven, who played professionally in Europe before being part of several successful LCS teams in NA, satirically laughed the…

VALORANT’s rocket-launching duelist Raze is usually known for a more chaotic playstyle, and now she’s completely catching pros off guard with an unusual use of her Blast Pack in the series between 100 Thieves and NRG. For the most part, Raze’s Blast Pack satchel is used to send her flying onto site or elevate her movement, especially when popping her Showstopper. Other times, it can be thrown at other VALORANT agents to deter them or hinder movement. Little did players know the satchel could also be used as a blind under extremely rare circumstances, as seen in the match between…

After a huge win at Orlando Regionals last month, Wolfe Glick is set to tackle Indianapolis Regionals this weekend with a completely different approach—as a commentator. Ahead of Indianapolis Regionals (May 4 to 5), Play! Pokémon announced the talented lineup of casters for the event as usual in a May 2 post on X. No one, however, expected former world champion and beloved content creator Wolfe Glick to be among the VGC caster crew we’re used to seeing. Glick confirmed this would be his first time commentating an official Pokémon event, and the community couldn’t be more excited to see…

Landing spots are almost sacred in competitive Apex Legends. Teams spend months fighting each other for a spot, then build their entire gameplan around landing there. And usually, contesting another team isn’t ideal at LAN—unless you’re Aurora. Composed of veteran mouse and keyboard players Kiryl “9impulse” Kostsiu, Svyatoslav “ojrein” Korochinsky, and Konstantin “Hardecki” Kozlov, Aurora has long been known as an aggressive team unafraid of flaunting the meta or taking any fight possible. In particular at the ALGS Split One Playoffs in Los Angeles, they’ve been notable for being one of the only teams to pick Lifeline. But they extended…

ALGS Groups kicked off with a bang for o7, topping the group CvD leaderboard after an explosive performance. In an exclusive interview with Online Esports, o7 Naghz revealed how the team has boomed after their sensational games, including mid-block role-switching and “feeling hot.”  The roster’s Split One Playoff experience had an unpredictable start. In game three, they were hit by a brutal game crash in the final fight, which led Gnaske and company to dramatically rush back to their PCs to secure their win. Aggression, impeccable strategy, and a hawk-like aim rewarded the team with 20 kills and first place,…

Current world champions T1 secured their spot in the MSI Bracket stage after serving FlyQuest with the fastest best-of-three of League of Legends competitive international history. T1, with their status as reigning world champions, entered the series as favorites, while FlyQuest aimed to prove their mettle on the international stage. The eagerly anticipated match brought historical rivalries to the MSI stage with the match up in the mid lane between Jensen and Faker, and some new ones too, like Massu’s head-to-head against one of his idols, Gumayusi.
