I don’t see how sharing a team’s strategy is illegal in eSports. It’s essentially the same as sharing game film with other teams in any other sport. I’m surprised teams don’t share replays with one another, or rather, it’s not common knowledge. Read more

is that one of the Gorillaz?

I think Moba’s suffer the most from this because A) they have a high skill ceiling and tough learning curve, b) they require more coordination than text chat can generally give (for serious play) but have moments of downtime where chatting is more possible, and c) there’s a large time commitment. It took me a while to Read more

Honest question from a position of ignorance here: Read more

LOL! This actually makes me want to go home and play some MOBA. These kinds of scenarios make me laugh because they’re so goddamned juvenile it’s hard to believe. I feel like I’ve had this exact experience as described in this article a dozen times. You get a player who isn’t nearly as good as they think they are, and Read more

Lololol @ Yannick’s shoutout. Music taste too strong. Read more

I’m not a good League player, maybe not as bad as Yi was but my K:D is rarely better than 1:1 and often 1:2 or worse.

the fact the games are so long that the option to surrender doesn’t even appear for 20 minutes is why I’ll never get into LoL. That is just far too much time in a single match for my tastes. That length also leads to toxicity as people then feel that they are wasting a large amount of time when things start to go Read more

Are you punished for simply walking away or disconnecting? I play games for fun, and if I wasn’t having any I would simply quit. Read more

I don’t play Mobas so I’ve got to ask a dumb question. Why don’t people use voice chat? It sounds impossible to type back and forth while in the middle of the game. Read more

This was literally an april fool’s joke one year for WoW. Read more

I dont know much about WoW, and cant remember the other heroes that were announced at BlizzCon. But I see 2 other new heroes on that character select screen @1:08. Left side, last hero on rows 2 & 3. Anyone know who they are? Read more

Now playing

Here’s the Heroes of the Storm spotlight for Cho’Gall, the crazy-sounding new character that’s controlled by two people at the same time. Blizzard said they expect him to go live in HOTS sometime this week. My colleague Nathan Grayson and I are sure to start butting heads (literally!) once that happens.
