How this new automated system works is that once a player has been reported for being verbally abusive (including homophobia, racism, sexism, and other forms of "excessive" abuse) the system will examine the case and then decide if the player should be punished. Within 15 minutes of the game's end, the system will send an email to the player containing a 'reform card' which will then include a chat log with the offending messages and it will also detail the length of the ban (either two weeks or permanent
The tournament and the final in particular did not disappoint, with arguably two of the best teams in the world squaring off against each other. EDward Gaming took out SK Telecom T1 in a close 3 to 2 series to give the Chinese the victory over the Koreans. SK Telecom certainly didn't make it easy. The team's best player, and one of the top mid laners in the world, Lee "Faker" Sang-hyeok nearly won the series for SK all by hims
The next Mongol attack came with two landings at Shika Island, which guarded the entrance of Hakata Bay. One force was led by Korean naval commander Hong Dagu and the other by Zhang Cheng. Japanese forces fought fiercely against the attackers and managed to push them back to their ships, nearly killing Hong Dagu himself. The battered fleet withdrew to Iki once ag
The sale price has not been disclosed, and neither company is on the record confirming the deal. But if it pans out, it could potentially lead to more opportunities on television for eSports, thanks to MTG's connections in that a
This was the first time the samurai encountered a very different enemy, employing completely unknown tactics. Japanese warriors were used to fighting among themselves in a relatively ritualized manner, with battles made mostly of individual duels during which the combatants even went as far as calling each other out by name before engaging. Archery was quite advanced, but there was little notion of using it as a strategic weapon, with the samurai aiming their bows precisely to pick out single targets instead of massing their f
Like many other eSports titles, popular MOBA League of Legends has an issue with player toxicity. However, League in particular has a bad reputation as its bad behavior seems to permeate the game at every level. It's not uncommon to hear abuse from the strategy game tips|https://Strategynewsbase.com/'s most popular streamers and even professional League of Legends players have been barred from the game for it, with Nicolaj "Incarnati0n" Jensen and Khaled "DarkwinJax" Abusagr having previously been punis
ESL is well-known as one of the biggest eSports leagues in the world, which is why it was big news when it was reported today that Swedish media group MTG purchased Turtle Entertainment, ESL's parent comp
A strong Japanese counterattack landed on Iki island at the end of the month, defeating the Mongol garrison, and forced the invaders to withdraw to Hirado island. At this point, the Yuan adopted a much tighter formation for their ships, actually chaining them together in order to thwart enemy boarding acti
Dreams is arguably this year’s most interesting PSX appearance, with developer Media Molecule having gone mostly radio silent since the game’s brief tease at the PS4 announcement event back in February 2013. With a confirmed showing at the PlayStation Presents presser and its own panel, expect to learn plenty about the creativity sim and its likely impending beta.
It wouldn't be an additional cost, because the track is going to be recorded anyway for the Japanese market, and it would enrich the experience for those of us who would like to fully immerse themselves in the atmosphere of ancient Ja
Building on this year’s E3 finale, Insomniac’s adaptation of the web-slinging hero was also heavily implied to release in the first half of this year during the aforementioned Layden interview. Spider-Man will likely complete the trio of release date reveals that will take place during PSX, along with perhaps another in-depth gameplay demo to show off the scope of Insomniac’s newest release.
Crossing over $1,000,000 in total prize pool is an impressive accomplishment, but the amount of games is worth noting as well. In 2016 ten games eclipsed the $1 M total, six did it in 2013, and the first broke onto the scene in 2005 ( Counter-Strik
There's a large number in my bank account that just became a slightly less larger number. I have enough money, to the point where I rarely look at my bank accept every few months to make sure it is going in an upward direction. This game is my biggest pastime. Let's say I've spent $5,000 on this game total, and received 1,000 hours of entertainment. That's only $5 an hour of entertainment. I'll spend 60 bucks on a game that I play for $15 minutes and never touch ag
Boy, that was a wake-up call. I'm definitely not exaggerating by telling you that I nearly flipped the laptop onto the floor; Ghost of Tsushima was the perfect storm between an established studio (whose work I love), and an exciting new IP in a setting that I ad
