OG’s quest for a third Dota 2 Aegis of Champions faces an unexpected opponent: parenthood. As Sébastien “Ceb” Debs welcomes his first child, PGL’s rulebook threatens to force the two-time TI-winning organization to forfeit its TI2024 qualifier run.

The trio came together for the World Series of Warzone North American final, flying to Canada to practice in…

Over the last month, Riot Games has caught a ton of flak from the League of Legends player base for the release of Faker’s controversially priced commemorative Ahri skin bundle, but now, people are hoping for some luck as the LCS hosts a giveaway with the expensive cosmetic as the prize. Across the next two weekends, LCS enthusiasts will get a chance to win Faker’s new Ahri skin as a randomized drop by watching the games while signed into the league’s official website, but there’s a small caveat: there are only two copies are there to be won. Only one…

While the new rule changes regarding relegation for professional VALORANT teams announced yesterday were received well by the esports community at large, many want to see Riot go a step further and apply the rules to all teams, not just those who rose from Ascension. Yesterday, Riot Games instituted new rule changes to VALORANT esports for 2025, providing teams that reach VCT international leagues through Ascension the opportunity to stay up if they perform to a certain level each season. The “promotion window” was reduced from two years to one, but the teams in question may stay in their VCT…

It’s June, which means it is time for the Counter-Strike 2 mid-season player break—a month for players to sit back, relax, rest their eyes, or prepare their resumes as all eyes turn to the back half of the calendar year and the all-important Shanghai Major in late November. It’s been a packed year so far with a few Counter-Strike squads finding consistency over the past few months, but for others, the highest of highs have been pockmarked by occasional slip-ups. Others still have failed to meet the lofty expectations set by organizations or fans—and roster changes seem inevitable. Not a…
