2019 is shaping up to be the biggest year yet for DC Entertainment, _**** _ with 25 confirmed feature-length films, TV series, and animated movies based on DC Comics properties planned for release. Many of these are established series such as the various live-action shows making up The CW’s Arrowverse ; others are new series being produced exclusively for the new DC Universe streaming service, which was released to wide acclaim last f
Though OG didn’t find consistent Dota 2 success throughout 2019, one player among their ranks powered them to victory at the biggest tournament of the year. Then-19-year-old Anathan “ana” Pham returned to OG in March after an extended hiatus. With ana back on the roster, OG began their climb back to peak form. They qualified for the MDL Disneyland Paris Major, and placed 5-6th at the main event. They then competed in ESL One Birmingham and the EPICENTER Major, placing 7-8th at both tournaments. The International 2019 arrived, and OG immediately exerted their dominance over their group stage opponents. To much surprise, ana played Io, traditionally a support hero, in the carry position. With that out-of-the-box pick, OG were able to top the group stage and secure a play-offs upper bracket berth. OG then took down Evil Geniuses, PSG.LGD, and Team Liquid to become the first team to ever win The International tw
Based on a Vertigo Comics series, iZombie centers upon Liv Moore – an undead coroner who uses her power to gain a person’s knowledge and memories when she eats their brain to solve mysteries. No air date or time has been set for when the show’s fifth and final season will air, beyond it airing sometime in the spring of 2019 on The
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
Genesis has a top-down view, mid goes solo, bottom duos, and hopefully someone jungles. Thankfully, every champion has the ability to teleport to friendly towers. There’s a cooldown, of course, but it’s still nice to have that ability not locked to a summoner spell. The shop is also available everywhere, not just at base. This all seems designed to expedite the laning phase. There’s even an option to begin with your character at level four. It’s like the Genesis devs know that farming creeps is boring and are helping players get to team fights fas
Aphelios has 5 unique weapons that each start with 50 Moonlight (Ammo). His basic attacks cost 1 Moonlight, and his abilities (Q and R) cost 10. Once his Moonlight hits 0 he will switch to the next weapon in the queue. Also, instead of upgrading his abilities when he levels up (like the other 146 champions in the game), the player can choose to upgrade either his Attack Damage, Attack Speed, or Armor Penetrat
Ashe is the leader of the Avarosan tribe. Known as the Iceborn warmother, Ashe uses the magic of her people to wield Avarosa’s True Ice Bow. This bow allows her to apply frost to her enemies in order to slow them d
Back in the LEC, G2 won the Summer season before moving on to the World Championship. They advanced to the Worlds play-offs, racing past DAMWON Gaming and SKT to reach the Grand Final. Though FunPlus Phoenix took home the Worlds title, G2 Esports had a formidable year. PerkZ was a massive part of G2’s legendary run, in which they stood just one series away from a never-before-done grand slam. He fit into the AD carry role nicely, holding his own against the game’s b
Factoring the lore into this equation, each champion should only be available for use on one team or the other. While this isn’t a factor in the more competitive game modes, players in the “blind pick” modes (as well as certain other limited game modes) can enter the game fighting against another player using the same champion they have cho
The biggest change is the addition of a win condition. Either team could destroy the opposing base to claim victory, but they can also just get 60 kills. The idea, I imagine, is to stop that endgame drag that always happens in close matches. Both sides hunker down in their bases, carefully turning back creep tides and maybe jungling. But mostly they play it safe, retreating the moment a team fight seems to be going bad. It’s tedious, boring, and only amplifies post-match toxicity because the stalemate usually ends when someone gets antsy and gives up a team fight. In Genesis, you can play it safe all you want but one side will eventually get 60 kills. In theory. In my 6-7 hours of play this only happened once. That match still went on a little too long. So while the ultimatum does pressure teams to actually push lanes, it isn’t a complete cure for turtl
With its campaign, the one thing that could really set it apart, inactive, Genesis has your typical MOBA meta Analysis modes. There’s training, a humans vs. AI mode, and 5v5 competitive. There’s only one map in the rotation right now, the usual three lane battlefield where you aim to destroy the enemy towers and reach their core. That’s not to fault Genesis for having this familiar element. The setup is just typical to MOBAs. In fact, there are some smart things going on in Genesis that address common MOBA probl
