Unsurprisingly, everyone thinks it looks like a penis or some sort of sex toy made out of gold. “Welp. Time to make an excuse so my GF doesn’t watch this event. Ain’t no way I’m competing with that,” one player said. Another added, “I should call him.” Others just posted hilarious memes, including a shot of a character from How I Met Your Mother with the words “that’s…

The Pokémon Company has officially unveiled the schedule for its 2025 esports season, with huge changes coming to how players can qualify for the World Championships from next year.

From next year, however, only a set number of players from each rating zone, age division, and game will earn a spot, with invitations based on Championship leaderboard standings. In addition, players who get individual top performances at major events like EUIC and NAIC will earn an automatic invite…
