This is a bit different than the situation with the MCU. Several of DC’s films are generating more enthusiasm than Shang-Chi and Eternals . Of course, this doesn’t mean that either of these film will fail or be any less successful than DC’s movies. If Marvel has proved anything with Ant-Man and Guardians of the Galaxy , it’s that it knows how to make millions with C and D-list characters. Shang-Chi and Eternals could easily be huge box office hits. Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige believes that a movie like Eternals is worth the risk . The idea here is that Marvel is putting quality over popularity. It remains to be seen if this will pay off. Regardless, as it stands, DC’s upcoming movie slate is succeeded in creating the most buzz. How well that will translate to box office numbers is another mat

_ Tekken _ phenom Arslan “Arslan Ash” Siddique skyrocketed to the top of the fighting game scene in 2019. Though he competed in very few professional events the year prior, Arslan Ash cemented his name in FGC history in 2019. The 24-year-old kicked off the year at Evolution Championship Series Japan, where a lower bracket run ended in a Grand Final victory over Alexandre “AK” Laverez. He next won the TGU x SEA Thailand Major over two-time EVO champion Jae-Min “Knee” Bae. The _ Tekken 7 _ star then doubled up on his EVO Japan title, defeating Knee once again to take home the EVO Las Vegas title. He became the first player to win EVO Japan and Las Vegas in the same y
Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League represented several of DC’s problems, but fortunately it didn’t take too long for DC to fix them. With both movies, it felt like DC was trying to copy the formula of The Avengers , but not in a good way. DC’s team-ups didn’t feel earned in the same way as Marvel’s. Marvel took its time, while DC rushed toward throwing its biggest heroes together — and it showed. DC didn’t make the same mistakes with Aquaman and Shazam!, which feel unique from anything made by Marvel. Since Justice League , DC has showed a willingness to dabble in various genres, tones, and styles. What DC has on the horizon is a sign that the studio is doubling-down on this appro
League of Legends follows a familiar format for MOBAs in that its main game mode pits two teams of five players against each other in a PVP-based race to complete certain objectives. According to the lore of the game, players assume the role of “summoners” in the league who will control various “champions” to comp
Many champions call the void home. These champions range from monsters born in The Void such as Rek’Sai to “The Prophet of the Void” Malzahar. Champions who carry the banner of The Void tend to have shadowy moves rooted in darkness and evil. But if the league exists to settle disputes, why welcome champions of this mysterious place of darkn
Leonardo has his own set of impressive armor that mirrors Garen’s skin in League of Legends. This cosplayer’s attention to detail in his armor making is simply mesmerizing and his Sunsteel Broadsword is something to be desired. Leonardo’s other cosplays include Jayce and “Mister Fortu
Veirous Cosplay recreated an identical Darius costume that is just as intimidating. The Canadian cosplayer structured every last bit of armor down to the lion head shoulder blades. He even has his own Battleaxe p
But what about when you’re in the wrong position? That’s when you need an ability that can move you to safer ground. Plenty of these moves incorporate dashing to move from point A to point B, but not all of them make sense – even less so when you consider that most can move you through solid wa
In most games, a character can hold one weapon or similar item in each hand, sometimes requiring two hands. Anything else would be in their inventory. This isn’t the case in League. Not only are players able to buy as many as six different swords, it’s often encouraged. Especially on certain ranged champions, the confusing bit is how someone would manage to make use of them all simultaneou
Beyond ensuring that everyone is, you know, actually having fun playing a video game, being a positive influence on the squad is more important than most give it credit for. Beyond practically guaranteeing that no-one will want to join up with you, unloading verbal diatribes on your squadmates isn’t going to make reviving you seem like an enticing prosp
Each change has caused a lot of frustration with players, sometimes resulting in key players permanently leaving the competitive scene. Qualifying is a long and arduous process, often involving the final days of a month spent playing for most of the day simply to retain a top spot – rewarding a grind more than actual skill. In addition, there is no official tournament client of the game. A disconnect between two opponents results in a match being replayed regardless of how far ahead one player was,, which has led to some controversial outcomes. There’s also the fact that in the past few years, Blizzard has leaned hard into design philosophy centered more around RNG and less around skill, driving some pro players away from the game entirely – as seen when Lifecoach left the competitive sc
