In the game DOTA 2 (Steam) there is a discussion about the caster Austin “Cap” Walsh: He has now used his personal contacts with Valve to permanently ban a YouTuber from DOTA 2. The community applauds, some see the YouTuber “RawDota Henry” as one of the most toxic players in DOTA 2.
This was the scene:
The caster Cap was privately in a game with DOTA 2 and his team lost, and lost significantly. One of his teammates was the YouTuber “RawDota Henry”.
As reported by Dotesports, the game was essentially lost for one of the teams after about 20 minutes: The opponents had 30 more kills. RawDota was so frustrated with the course of the match that he dropped and destroyed his items on the ground: This is considered a gesture of a toxic player in DOTA 2: “I’ve given up, I’m not doing anything here anymore.”
Then the viewers of his stream saw Cap taking note of the player’s ID and identifying him as “the infamous HenryDota”. He then said: “Goodbye, Henry.” (via youtube)

The next day comes the permanent ban
What happened next? Apparently, the caster sent the player’s ID to a friend who is a developer of DOTA 2.
Now it was thought: Well, probably the YouTuber will be placed in a “Low-Priority-Queue” to serve his penalty.
However, a day later the player faced a permanent ban of his account. Apparently, Cap utilized his contacts or requested a favor, which ultimately led to the player being permanently banned.
How is this being discussed? In the community, the discussion is divided:
Some say that Cap has “abused his power” to manually have someone banned. This is considered “abuse of power”.
Others, however, thank Cap. They find the YouTuber terrible and his streams show signs of mental illness. He has always been an “ultra toxic player” who has evaded bans and smurfed: He is one of the worst players in DOTA 2 and does not deserve anyone to defend him. Apparently, the majority of users agree with this position.
Twitch streamer and “100 Thieves” boss Nadeshot fails a tough challenge in Call of Duty: Warzone 2because his game crashes. The excitement is high, but now he apologizes for his choice of words.
Who is it about? Matthew “Nadeshot” Haag is the founder of 100 Thieves. It is a large esports organization and currently one of the most successful organizations in the world. They regularly participate in major tournaments in Call of Duty, Fortnite, League of Legends, or Valorant. The company’s value is estimated at over 400 million USD (via sportskeeda.com).
In a stream, Nadeshot flipped out. Because right in the middle of a difficult challenge, his game crashed, and he vented his frustration. For this, he is now apologizing.

Boss loses it because his game crashes: “You make a billion $ every year!”
What kind of challenge is that? To activate a bomb (Nuke) in Call of Duty: Warzone 2, you have to win 5 games in a row and then build and activate the device over several games.
After 9 hours of gameplay and the 4th victory, Nadeshot’s game crashed. He then vented his frustration about the game, as he narrowly missed the chance to build such a Nuke.
He freaked out and angrily shouted: “Fix your damned game already!”
He pointed out that the “damn game” crashes on his $5,000 PC, which is state-of-the-art. Call of Duty supposedly earns “a billion dollars every year – and he can’t play. That’s just ridiculous.”

This is his apology: On Twitter, he has now posted a short video and an explanation. He regrets his actions and acknowledges that he flipped out.
I lost my composure over a real piece of shit. This is not a PR tweet, no one asked me to retract anything, nothing like that. When I see it taken out of context, it’s embarrassing for me. Warzone 2 is a lot of fun, I really love the game and that makes me seem ungrateful.

He also explained that he still stands by his criticism of Warzone 2. Because there continue to be plenty of bugs and issues. Only the way he expressed it was not acceptable.
Other players feel similarly: By the way, he is not the only player with problems. Because the launch of Warzone 2 is anything but smooth. Along with high pings and severe lags, there were also other technical problems. MeinMMO reports extensively on the launch difficulties of the shooter:

Elite Dangerous is an open-world game on Steam, where players can explore the vastness of space. Five years ago, they encountered an alien species for the first time, which now has had enough of humans and is starting an invasion in the new update.
What kind of game is Elite Dangerous? Elite Dangerous is an open-world game set in a sci-fi environment. In MMO mode, you travel through a massive galaxy in your spaceship and can choose how you want to play:
Become a pirate and plunder the treasures of other players, explore foreign territories, or hunt down ruthless criminals as a bounty hunter.
Through updates, Elite Dangerous regularly receives new content, and the story in the game world continues to unfold.
In 2017, players first encountered aliens known as “Thargoids.” Since then, there have been several conflict situations between the alien species and humans. With the new update 14, which is active from November 30, 2022, an intergalactic war will break out.
Here you can see the latest video for Elite Dangerous titled “Arrival”:

Elite Dangerous – Arrival
Update 14 stirs up trouble in the universe
What happens in the new update? If you don’t want to be spoiled, you should stop reading now. The following details describe what players can expect during the alien invasion.
8 mysterious clouds will appear in the Bubble. The Bubble, also known as Core Systems or Core Worlds, consists of several star systems. Among the areas is a region where a large portion of the human population resides.
Each cloud is labeled with a name and a marker, allowing players to scan the clouds and mark them as targets. Next, they can fly into the clouds. They will encounter the inhabitants, whose behavior they should observe closely.
Once the clouds are in position, a war will break out. The Thargoids will begin sending out ships to destroy human buildings, including important structures like starports.
Players who are fans of combat gameplay can position themselves at a base and attempt to push back the enemy forces. Conversely, those who wish to support humanity in a more peaceful manner can undertake other missions, such as important deliveries.
The developers of the game believe that the new update and the major events in the game will provide suitable gameplay for all play styles.
How much does Elite Dangerous cost on Steam? You can currently get Elite Dangerous for €24.99 on Steam (as of November 30, 2022). If you want to buy the “Commander Premium Edition,” which includes the game along with the DLC “Elite Dangerous: Odysee” in early access and the game soundtrack, you will pay €54.99.
Just under a week left until Destiny 2 Season 19 begins. But before that, players can expect a few server downtimes, as Bungie has announced three maintenance times. MeinMMO will keep you updated on today’s downtimeand inform you about possible changes.
What you need to know today: After a small update break, Bungie is bringing the update planned for yesterday today, on November 30th. The servers will therefore go offline for maintenance, and you won’t be able to play for a while. Additionally, the downtime starts earlier than usual, at 4 PM.
While Bungie works on the servers, MeinMMO will accompany you and update this article with fresh information as soon as the maintenance begins. So stay tuned so you don’t miss anything.
Maintenance updates from November 30:
8:00 PM: Bungie has just completed the maintenance in the background, via Twitter.
7:00 PM: Everything is done. Bungie has brought the Destiny 2 servers back online. You can now log back into the game. However, note that there may still be delays with the Destiny app and third-party applications until 8 PM. No download is available.
5:00 PM: The servers from Bungie have just gone offline. For 2 hours you will not be able to play Destiny 2. 4:00 PM: Maintenance has started in the background. You should finish all ongoing activities in the next hour because then the servers will go down and you will be kicked.
In the meantime, we recommend checking out the upcoming DLC “Lightfall”, which launches in February 2023and invites you to the modern city of “Neomuna”:
Start video

Maintenance on 11/30 – All times and server downtime
As always, Bungie has provided detailed downtime information regarding the maintenance. We offer this information in our article with the German times. This way you can better plan your gaming day today.
All times at a glance:
Maintenance work will begin in the background on all platforms as early as 4 PM German time.
From 5 PM onwards, the servers will go offline, and you will be automatically kicked from all activities.
The servers are expected to come back online around 7 PM. However, it is not known whether there will be an update with a download.
Maintenance will end at 8 PM.
Important: Even if you have downloaded the possible update and are back in the game, there may still be connection issues until the maintenance ends at 8 PM. You may also have to expect queues when logging in.
With the server downtime, Bungie might already be making initial preparations for the start of the upcoming Season 19. It begins on December 6th and will change some of the Guardians’ abilities.
For example, Bungie will adjust the bonus base duration of the improved storm grenade granted by “Spark of Magnitude” in Season 19.
The Void Hunter receives more differentiated supers for Shadow Shot: Deadfall and the Mobius Quiver. Here, the tether anchor duration will be changed.
The damage against PvE combatants for some abilities, such as Ballistic Impactor, Arc Soul, or Chain Lightning, will be increased.
The Stasis Hunter and Stasis Titan will receive an additional fragment slot for Glacial Harvest and Cryoclasm.
However, what is specifically planned for the small maintenance marathon has not yet been disclosed. But there still seem to be issues in the “Duality” dungeon.
Current list of known issues:
Players can sometimes die when they are transported to the Nightmare Realm in the “Duality” dungeon.
The cutscene for the seasonal introduction can exhibit extremely low frame rates when viewed by players in the Epic Games Store.
Name changes for players are not customizable through bungie.net. Players are still waiting for the option to change their usernames multiple times instead of just once.
If you encounter any other issues in the game, it is recommended to report them directly through the official Bungie Help forum to make the developers aware of it as well.
Don’t forget to claim your rewards.
Don’t forget to claim rewards: Bungie has informed its players that you can only claim your earned but unclaimed vendor rewards from the previous Season 17 until December 6th via the website. This is possible through the “Previous Season Pass Rewards” page. Past season pass rewards can only be claimed in Destiny 2 until the end of the subsequent season. After that, they are irretrievably lost.
To keep you entertained during the downtime in Destiny 2:
What’s in the patch notes? Should Bungie implement an update, this could also mean the release of a hotfix. Traditionally, we receive this information fairly quickly after the servers have come back online.
Since today was just maintenance, there is no download for an update and thus no patch notes on any possible changes.

In Call of Duty: Warzone 2 a handful of glitches and bugs are currently causing trouble. The developers have intervened and nerfed a glitch in the DMZ mode, making it unattractive for players. However, a new exploit affects the Warzone and it is seriously bad.
What is this exploit? A glitch has allowed some players to increase the durability of their gas masks in the Warzone. This enables them to stay in the danger zone for as long as they want – the gas does not harm them.
Players using this exploit can hide anywhere within the gas cloud. Their gas mask lasts for several minutes, and the gas eventually takes out all other players. Therefore, players exploiting this can win without any effort.
Is the exploit new? No, this exploit is actually an old acquaintance. There was a similar bug in the first Warzone of Call of Duty (2019). At that time, the developers had to intervene several times until they got the issue under control. However, this is the first time this bug has also appeared in Warzone 2. Apparently, players have been able to replicate this exploit in both solo and team play.
How often do these glitches occur? In recent days, reports of glitches and exploits in Warzone 2 have increased. There have been missions that rewarded players with way too many experience points. Other players managed to generate large amounts of cash in the DMZ mode.
We won’t specify exactly how the exploit works. If players use this, there is always a risk that it could result in an account penalty. You could even be banned.

Bugs and Issues at Launch
How is Infinity Ward responding? The gas mask glitch is extremely harmful to the Warzone. If a player in your match uses this exploit, you are practically powerless and cannot win the round legitimately. This is a real problem for the Warzone, and therefore fixing the exploit should be at the top of Activision’s agenda.
Many players are currently dissatisfied with the update policy of Call of Duty. They criticize the developers’ communication. Often, changes are made to the battle royale without the developers informing anyone.
What do players criticize? There are some heated discussions in the community about whether the makers of CoD are setting the right priorities.
Apparently, only those bugs that ensure players spend less time in the weapon grind are being removed. Dev errors, other crashes, and the gas mask glitch, however, are well known to the developers, yet it takes too long for them to be fixed.
What experiences have you had? Have you already fallen victim to the gas mask glitch or another gamebreaking exploit? Feel free to share it with us in the comments.
With the first weekly reset on November 30, there is finally strong, epic gear to be obtained in WoW Dragonflight. MeinMMO explains the sources from which you can obtain Epics and more to improve yourself.
On the 2nd day after the release of Dragonflight, there are already numerous players at the new maximum level 70. For some, it didn’t even take 3 hours to complete the entire leveling phase.
To prevent these players from racing ahead of the crowd too quickly and to allow everyone to progress at their own pace, Blizzard has delayed weekly rewards. Now, on November 30, the activities are finally available, including:
weekly quests
mythic dungeons
specific tasks of the in-game factions
You can now also obtain the strong armor there. MeinMMO explains exactly where you can expect which loot and what you should do now to improve your characters. If you still need to level up, you can find useful tips for quick leveling in Dragonflight in our level guide.
In our special, you will find all information about Dragonflight. The trailer shows you once again the most important features of the expansion:
Start video
WoW shows the main features of Dragonflight in the gameplay trailer, fans praise: “Finally hype again”
Epics from mythic dungeons
The best source of gear is mythic dungeons and dungeons in general – depending on what item level you already wear. In dungeons, you can expect the following loot:
normal: Item-Level 346 (rare)
heroic: Item-Level 359 (rare)
mythic: Item-Level 372 (epic)
Dragonflight offers a total of 8 new dungeons that you can complete once a week on mythic difficulty and as often as you like on heroic difficulty. However, for mythic dungeons, you have to form a group yourself and travel to the dungeons; the dungeon finder does not work here.
Since you have no influence over whether and which loot you receive, you should always complete the dungeons first. With other activities, you can then target certain spots in your gear for improvement.
One of the most important items from the mythic dungeons is the “Titan Training Matrix IV.” With this, you can craft or have crafted items of item level 382. More on this in the next section.
Crafting, professions, and orders
Dragonflight has significantly revamped the professions. You can now specialize and allocate talents and even level through crafting, at least to a certain extent. Crafted items are now really strong.
As a crafter, you have the opportunity to specifically create items with a level of up to 382. However, you need to have specialized accordingly and ideally wear good profession accessories. To do this, you need a Titan Training Matrix, which then determines how strong the crafted gear will be:
Mark I from rare mobs: Item-Level 333-343, requires level 64 to equip
Mark II from normal dungeons: Item-Level 346-356, requires level 70 to equip
Mark III from heroic dungeons: Item-Level 359-369, requires level 70 to equip
Mark IV from mythic dungeons: Item-Level 372-382, requires level 70 to equip
The matrices make items soulbound, so you can no longer trade them. Nevertheless, you have the opportunity to obtain the items if you cannot craft them yourself.
Through the “Order” system in Valdrakken, you can have items crafted by other crafters if you provide the materials – even if they are soulbound.
In the video, we show you the most important features for crafters in Dragonflight:

Weekly rewards from quests and events
With the reset on November 30, the weekly quests and events can grant epic gear, which they did not provide before. In the respective reward bags, you will receive gold, resources, and a chance for gear and even mounts in certain cases.
You can complete the following activities:
the siege of the Dragonflayer Fortress on the coast of the adult
the Great Hunt with the centaurs in the Ohn’ahra plains
the feast of Iskaara in the azure mountains
the quest “Support the Accord” in Valdrakken, which changes weekly
Additionally, every 6 hours the new elemental storms appear, which were also present during the pre-event. There you can obtain special tokens, which you can exchange in Valdrakken for gear. There, you can find rare gear for easily farmable tokens and epic gear with better stats.
The special thing about the epic gear is that it grants small set bonuses. However, the currency needed for this is limited to one token per element and week. You should probably have enough tokens for 2 items by the release of Season 1.
More details are also explained by WoW expert Belular in his new video:

With Dragonflight, the known reputation system is replaced by a Fame system, similar to what was present with the Covenants in Shadowlands. However, here you can collect fame from all factions simultaneously and earn various rewards.
What gear you receive for which slot at which level varies from faction to faction. However, you can check the overview to see which fame level provides you with which rewards.
You can obtain gear with up to item level 389 through factions.
Gear through PvP
Also, since November 30, there is a weekly PvP quest available, with which you can earn Honor. You also receive various tokens by using the War Mode in the open world.
At the PvP vendors in Valdrakken, you can exchange the tokens for rare and epic loot, similar to the Storm Events in PvE. Here, too, there are small set bonuses that can be worthwhile.
The activities can be worthwhile if you want to swap certain slots or if you enjoy PvP. If you are not a fan of PvP, there are plenty of other activities available to you. This is also the philosophy behind the entire expansion.
The Dragon Isles could be quite crowded. We were live during the big rush when the addon launched:

We were in the middle of the chaos that represents the release of WoW Dragonflight: „I can’t accept anything here“
What’s next?
In the week of December 12, the first season of Dragonflight will start. There you can obtain even stronger gear through mythic keystone dungeons (M+) and the first raid of the expansion.
All difficulty levels of the raid will open immediately, except for the raid finder, and Mythic+ will provide you with the same item level as the raid. So you can choose where you prefer to gear up.
However, only 4 of the new dungeons will be available for Mythic+, plus 4 dungeons from previous expansions of WoW. If you want to know which classes are leading, there are already some initial assessments available:

Maxim “Maxim” Markow is a Twitch streamer and YouTuber, who has gained fame primarily with League of Legends. However, for the past few years, he has regularly played the auto battler Teamfight Tactics. There, he found a curious bug on the test server that cost him a victory.
What was the bug? In his TFT round, Maxim relied on many brawlers in the frontline. They gain additional maximum health depending on how many are on the field. Up to round 5-2, he had only 6 or 7 brawlers active, which is why the champions’ health points were increased by 70%.
However, when he placed the eighth brawler, he briefly wondered about the health points of his champions. They suddenly went down: “Somehow the bonus is not being calculated correctly,” he said.
Then he looked at the brawlers more closely and noticed a small detail: “Someone put a point in between!” Instead of the planned 111% additional health points, his champions received only 11.1%. Thus, the bonus made his game board even actively worse than before.
What happened next? Maxim lost the match and with it the bonus of 16 consecutive victories. That really hurt. The streamer then noted: “It’s the worst company… if you like math.”
Why is Maxim so bothered by “math” at Riot Games? LoL and TFT are both competitive games where it is important that everything is calculated correctly and displayed to the player accurately. A few percent in critical chance or lifesteal can often decide between victory or defeat.
But where there is a lot of math, errors can occur, such as incorrect information on items or champion descriptions.
Those looking for errors will find, for example, a fix in patch 12.13, where an incorrect calculation was displayed in Ivern’s ultimate. Already in 2012, more than 10 years ago, there was an incorrect calculation in the interaction between the items Warmogs and Atma’s (via reddit). Even back then, there was already mockery about the “math skills.”

Criticism of Maxim: However, there is also some criticism of Maxim in the Twitch chat and on Twitter. He is said to be exaggerating, as the test servers are exactly for finding such bugs. Additionally, he has been insulting Riot Games too much lately.
Later in the livestream, he said: “It’s by far the worst company there is, by far” or “It’s self-protection to quit after such a mistake.” Some found that unfair, especially considering the successes of LoL, Valorant, and TFT.
In the end, the streamer actually won the match anyway, albeit only with 6 instead of 8 brawlers.
Maxim has been closely associated with Riot Games’ games for years. From 2013 to 2021, he was a shoutcaster for LoL, initially for the ESL, later also for the LEC and the Worlds. But that is now a thing of the past:
During the preseason of League of Legends, new playstyles for the champions are constantly being tested. The champion Sona has become one of the strongest champions for the support role.
What has changed? The change is an adjustment to Sona’s item build. While the champion currently has a positive win rate and is well-positioned in the list, LoL players are always looking for new options to play their champion stronger than others. The new supporter could pose a competition for Sona.
Thus, support players have come up with entirely new ideas for Sona in the meantime. The champion was played for ability power. This leads to a significant increase in her damage. However, this does not do justice to her role, and most players, around 89% (via LeagueofGraphs), start with a more traditional build for Sona.
The item Rod of Ages gives the Sona build a new twist. Although she does what she did before, she does it better now. She no longer faces the dilemma of having too little mana, and the focus is on supporting her teammates and thus directing the game.
In this video, you can see how massive League of Legends has become:
Start video
A spectacular video about League of Legends has now 138 million views – Shows how huge LoL is
Why almost everyone can play the champion
What does the Rod of Ages do for Sona? With the item’s early stages, Sona is able to stay longer on the lane right from the beginning of the game. Her mana pool will not deplete so quickly, and she can use her abilities as soon as their cooldowns are over.
Her abilities themselves are designed to affect nearby enemies and allies.
Her Q ability deals damage to 2 nearby enemies, prioritizing champions.
The W ability heals herself, one ally, and provides a shield to all around her.
Her E ability increases the movement speed of allies that are within her range.
The basic abilities are very easy to play since they only work around Sona. The only challenge is her ultimate ability, where enemies are stunned in a line in front of her. This needs to be aimed and hit. With a little practice, this should not be a problem.
The rod transforms into the item “Seraph’s Embrace” at full stacks and allows Sona to restore health when she consumes mana. Additionally, the item comes with the ability that the cooldown reduction increases the more mana Sona has.
The effect of Seraph’s Embrace
All in all, this item harmonizes with the attributes Sona wants to build. Cooldown reduction is important for her, so she can cast her spells, and she needs a lot of mana to cast many spells. Additionally, her strong self-healing allows her to exert influence on the lane for a long time.
Other items that synergize well with her abilities and playstyle as a supporter are:
Shurelya’s Reverie
Glacial Augment
Rod of Flowing Water
Chemtech Putrefier
Riftmaker
Some of these items need to be considered in individual situations. However, they can serve as a guideline if you are unsure.
Why does this make her the strongest healer? Through the healing of her ability and the health she gains from Seraph’s Embrace, Sona is a champion who can survive on the lane for a long time. This is particularly annoying for opponents, as she always represents a potential threat.
Unfortunately, not much helps against Sona. The simplest way is through the new strong jungle strategies. It is important to focus on the bot lane and hit Sona with as much damage as possible at the same time to avoid long fights.
However, it is not always so easy on the bot lane. It is characterized by fights where you want to gradually defeat the opponents. Sona, however, disrupts the opponents’ plans here. The long fights allow for health regeneration and healing for her team.
What are the most exciting builds you have tried with Sona? Let us know in the comments.

Do you not know the answers for the WoW quest “Clans of the Plains”? We have all the correct answers for you so that you can proceed quickly.
Questing in World of Warcraft Dragonflight goes along quickly. However, some quests consist of a lot of “talking,” which may lead some players to skip sequences entirely or only half-listen. However, this can turn out to be a mistake because some quests expect you to have knowledge — such as the quest “Clans of the Plains”.
What kind of quest is this? About halfway through the story of the Plains of Ohn’ahra, you suddenly need to prove that you know exactly what the various clans stand for. You must speak with Sansok Khan and then explain what each clan of Ohn’ahra stands for. If you have followed the missions attentively, this is no problem — but those who only focused on “killing and looting” are out of luck.
The correct answers for Clans of the Plains
In total, you need to correctly answer 4 questions in “Clans of the Plains.” The order of the questions is always the same, and you must name one of the clans that the question pertains to each time. The correct order is:
Teerai (Storytellers of the Maruuk)
Ohn’ir (Connection to Ohn’ahra)
Nokhud (Military Power)
Shikaar (Hunters)
After that, you can complete the quest and see how the rest of the storyline unfolds — as it picks up pace from there.
More about World of Warcraft Dragonflight can be found here:
Some players also report that they are unable to complete the quest as the corresponding NPC does not appear in the village. If this is the case for you as well, it may help to leave the village and re-enter. Make sure you completely leave the village and switch to another area (this is indicated by the location text in the middle of the screen).

What do the organizers say about it? The Twitter post refers to an official statement on the American publishing website Medium. There, the organizers explain in detail how the collaboration with Nintendo went and why the Smash World Tour was interrupted.
Regarding the surprising cancellation, they write:
Without warning, we received the message from Nintendo the night before Thanksgiving that we could no longer proceed. This was particularly shocking considering how we negotiated with Nintendo over the past twelve months. Since then, we have been working around the clock to take the right logistical steps and prepare this statement with the right legal support.
The organizers also write that they will lose “hundreds of thousands of dollars” due to the cancellation of the events.
The statement also addresses the collaboration of the esports company “Panda” (which is now conducting official Smash Bros. events) with Nintendo, and the organizers shed light on how they have been in constant communication with Nintendo regarding this matter.
What is Nintendo’s response? Nintendo has only officially commented on the matter to Kotaku so far. It states:
Unfortunately, after multiple discussions with the Smash World Tour and after a thorough review, as we do with every potential partner, we were unable to reach an agreement with SWT for a full season in 2023. Considering the negative impact on players who had already planned to participate, Nintendo has not requested any changes or the cancelation of the remaining events in 2022, including the championship event in 2022.
Subsequently, the organizers also spoke to Kotaku and responded to Nintendo’s statement. According to their statement, they had inquired multiple times with Nintendo whether they had considered the consequences of canceling the events in 2022 and the tour in 2023, which Nintendo allegedly confirmed.
Furthermore, the organizers had received a message from Nintendo stating that a license was necessary to conduct commercial events with their games. Smash World Tour did not meet the conditions regarding health and safety regulations and violated internal partner guidelines, which is why no license would be granted to the event organizers.
The organizers contradict this and state that they had not yet submitted an application for 2023: When they asked Nintendo whether they could continue to work “without a license,” this was apparently denied.
What does the future hold for Smash Bros events? While the collaboration with the Smash World Tour organizing team has ended, Nintendo announced on Twitter on November 18, 2022, the partnership with Panda.
Together, they already held the first official licensed championship in Super Smash Bros in North America this year. It is likely that events will continue to be held with this partner in the future.
Just a few hours after the release of WoW Dragonflight, the first players reached the new maximum level 70. One of their tricks for achieving this so quickly: Crafting. The revamped professions in the expansion are definitely worth it.
Who is the player? Gingi is a professional player who plays for Echo, one of the best WoW guilds in the world. Echo achieved about the World First Kill in the last raid in Shadowlands. Gingi is also a multiple world champion in the Mythic Dungeon International.
The pro reached level 70 in just about 1.5 hours, as seen on his stream (via Twitch.tv). So far, no player is known to have been faster. However, Gingi was not the first, as release issues made it difficult for the player.
This is how Gingi reached level 70: Most of the time, Gingi plays in a group with his druid and two others. The class is incredibly fast when traveling, giving him an advantage. Plus, the group almost exclusively completes campaign quests for leveling to progress quickly.
As seen in the clip, Gingi crafts several items in succession using leatherworking. The last item is a “Reinforced Covenant Cap,” a chain headpiece. This item pushes him to level 70:

Professions as a Leveling Method – How does it work?
Professions have undergone a major overhaul in Dragonflight. You can now choose specializations and allocate talent points to define your focus in crafting more precisely.
The best new feature for leveling is that you get a big chunk of experience when you craft an item for the first time or gather a resource for the first time. Gingi is taking advantage of this.
He crafts equipment sequentially, but always only one item at a time to gain the XP boost. You receive less XP per item than for a quest, but the items can be crafted much faster, especially if you can simply buy the materials from the auction house.
In the video, we show you the changes to the profession system:

Gingi went straight on to the next characters to level these as well – first a hunter, then a mage. For all of them, he used the profession trick to secure experience points quickly and easily.

The German Twitch streamer Trymacs had planned a big event for December called “Kick auf Eis”. But now he has to change the event because Stefan Raab and his company threatened him with a hefty fine. But did Raab even have a chance of success? This is clarified by the famous “internet lawyer” Christian Solmecke in a video.
Trymacs then revised the entire event and will now allow the influencers to play on a modified football field. But would Raab really have won the lawsuit? Lawyer Christian Solmecke, a specialist in internet and media law, doubts that in his video.
“A television show can essentially be copied in concept”
What exactly does Solmecke say? In the first minutes of the video, he summarizes the situation and Trymacs’ statements. The streamer explained that he did not understand where the problems were, as football on ice is difficult to protect.
Solmecke picks this up and starts to break down and explain the various trademark and patent rights.

In trademark law, the lawyer finds an entry from 2009. There, Raab wanted to secure the naming rights to “Deutscher Eisfußball Pokal”. However, the application was rejected due to a lack of distinctive character.
What Raab and his company have secured are the image rights to specific logos for the event. However, the image of Trymacs is “miles away” from that, as Solmecke emphasizes.
There can also be no patent rights for the event, as patents are rights for technical innovations. That is not the case here.
What about other rights? In the end, copyright remains. However, the event must be something “never before seen”, which can be doubted in the case of playing football on ice.
Moreover, Raab interrupts the Federal Court’s ruling on broadcasting formats. According to Solmecke, it states that “a television show can essentially be copied in concept”. An abstract show concept, such as kicking on ice, does not enjoy copyright protection.
Only the presentation may not be copied, such as the lighting, special rules, or the stage design. However, according to Solmecke, it is not enough to secure an ice surface with two goals as a “special stage design”.
From the lawyer’s point of view, Trymacs only had to make a few minor adjustments for the event to take place after all.

Twitch: Who were actually the first successful streamers?
A residual risk remains
Why is the event still being changed? The event “Kick auf Eis” has now become “Der große Kick”. The broadcaster Joyn, with which the event is being organized, emphasizes that the event will have a “new game principle” but that the participants may change. How everything will work is currently unclear.
But why did they change the concept and not insist on ice football? Because there remains a residual risk.
There could be a temporary injunction shortly before the start, which would cancel the event. Even if a court later disagrees, the event must be canceled at first.
“That’s why television stations sometimes back down and say: ‘This is too risky for us, even if we are in the right'”, Solmecke says. And there is always the chance that the broadcaster might lose and then still have to pay damages.
Trymacs himself is very disappointed in his idol Stefan Raab. He had always been a big fan, but he is far from thrilled with the warning. After all, both had at least indirectly collaborated in the last Wok-WM, which Raab organized in the background:
A gamer has showcased a beautiful gaming PC. The community jokes that the system wouldn’t survive a meltdown. After all, the entire case is made of exquisite glass.
One option is to go for a very small case and have the PC virtually disappear.
Or you can opt for a large case to show the world what great hardware you’ve built in.
User Kumag1989 has now presented a particularly unique system. He has built his PC into a glass table. The specs and appearance are impressive. You can check out several photos and the design on reddit:

Gaming PC is built into a glass table and looks great
What exactly did he do? The gamer designed a unique build. Instead of mounting his components in a normal PC case, he crafted a table where he installed his gaming PC. The result looks spectacular.
What hardware is inside? Both the “case” and the water cooling were developed by the user himself. The remaining components are cleverly integrated within the table:
Case: custom-designed table
CPU: Intel 11900K
CPU Cooler: custom water cooling
GPU: MSI 4090 Gaming Trio
Mainboard: Z590 AORUS PRO AX
RAM: 32G Trident Z
Power Supply: ASUS ROG Thor 850W
Additionally, a small plant is integrated inside. The PC builder explained that it is artificial and doesn’t need regular watering. There are even genetically modified houseplants for gamers that cost quite a bit.
How does the community react? Other readers are absolutely amazed by the build and state that they have never seen such a beautiful build.
Some in the community are already joking that the desk would present its owner with entirely new challenges. One person says (via reddit.com): “A meltdown, and that’s the end of the glass.” The thread starter then remarked that he would have to temper his anger a bit with the new desk.
What do you think? Do you also find the system impressive and would you like such a “table” or do you think it’s too much fuss? Feel free to tell us in the comments!
More fascinating gaming systems: A company has developed a gaming PC that has a special feature. The system stands on legs on your desk. How practical that is, everyone has to decide for themselves. You can check out the strange contraption on MeinMMO:
Dragon riding is so awesome that it should permanently replace flying mounts in World of Warcraft. At least that’s what MeinMMO demon Cortyn thinks and he is absolutely thrilled about the new feature in WoW.
Dragonflight has been released for about two days now and I’ve been “totally hooked”, playing at level 70 and enjoying all the content of Dragonflight that one can experience while leveling.
However, although so little time has passed, I am already completely sure of one thing: I never want to sit on a regular flying mount again.
I have spent so much time in the last 36 hours jumping off cliffs, racing through courses, and enjoying the landscapes of Dragonflight that I now have a permanent grin burned into my face.
The feel of dragon riding is just so much better than anything WoW has had up to this point.
It’s hard to describe in words and even a video can scarcely capture it. Dragon riding has to be felt, experienced personally to truly understand its appeal.
Images, videos, and words can hardly capture how great dragon riding is.
Of course, it’s also only so great because the Dragon Isles were designed with exactly this idea in mind. Everything is a bit more spacious, the locations are larger, and you can cover longer distances in one go. But that fits because it doesn’t feel artificial, it harmonizes perfectly together.
Although I play this partially during the beta, it feels different in the live version. Maybe because it’s now “permanent” and because it’s really “my character” that can do this.
Almost 600 mounts in my collection – I would give them all up
I would definitely consider my Draenei a collector of mounts – after all, she has a proud 593 to choose from. I have been busy with her, farming some of the rarest mounts ever, which I am also a little bit proud of.
Nonetheless, I would gladly leave all these mounts behind and trade them for dragon riding without batting an eye.
Over 590 mounts – but none are as great as dragon riding.
I briefly went to “the old world” to clear an old quest from my quest log and had to sit on a regular flying mount. No more: It’s infinitely boring compared to dragon riding. After spending just a few minutes with the dragon, the flying mount feels “wrong,” boring, and uninspired.
I understand anyone who says “Meh” after the first few minutes of dragon riding and doesn’t warm up to it immediately. At first, you have little stamina, don’t quite understand the mechanics, and struggle with the dragon. Because you only advance as long as it goes downhill.
But that changes. Give the feature a little time. Participate in the various races, keep an eye out for glyphs, and start upgrading your dragon’s talents. No later than when you have about half of all talents, dragon riding is absolutely awesome.
I’ve caught myself multiple times just plunging from Valdrakken to see how far I can go and how long I can stay in the air. Now I can confidently say “infinitely” and I’m even significantly faster than with the epic mount.
I am completely thrilled by dragon riding. Whether this will ultimately be a good thing remains to be seen. Because Blizzard is – at least for me personally – now practically obligated to take dragon riding into the future of World of Warcraft.
Because I never want to sit on a flying mount again, no matter how long and persistently I have farmed for it in recent years.
Patrick Freese from MeinMMO thinks: I was initially skeptical about dragon riding. Do I really need it? There are flying mounts with which I can fly precisely without losing power. Fast forward to release: I am now only level 62. Which is mainly because I want to complete all dragon races in gold time and collect all glyphs. I just can’t stop. Dragon riding just feels so … good? I call my dragon and it doesn’t just spawn out of nowhere, but comes running onto my screen from behind. Flying feels so smooth, the controls are easy to understand. Crazy. My skepticism has completely disappeared into thin air, and I am now a fan of the feature.
More about World of Warcraft Dragonflight can be found here on MeinMMO:
And finally, one last tip: The glyphs that improve the abilities of your dragon riding … don’t look them up in the guide or have them displayed by addon. You can collect them only once on your account; after that, the unlock immediately applies to all other characters as well. Collecting these glyphs is really fun, as you are not only notified by the dragon, but also receive a buff that shows exactly how far away you are from the glyph.
The feeling of having found them all yourself is significantly better than just having “checked off a guide” – plus you’ll see a lot of the Dragon Isles and surely come across some rare mobs or treasures, and in the process become real experts in dragon riding.
How do you like dragon riding so far?

Battlefield 2042 is recovering from a rocky start on Steam: Player numbers are rising. The game recorded the highest player counts in November 2022 since December 2021. What could be the reason for this?
Why is Battlefield 2042 experiencing an upward trend again? Two factors could be related to the current increase in player numbers on Steam:
On Steam, the big Steam Autumn Sale 2022 took place from November 22 to November 29, 2022 at 7:00 PM, during which many titles were on discount. Included was Battlefield 2042, which was reduced by 67% from €59.99 to €19.79 (via Steam).
What comes after the Autumn Sale 2022? Currently, there is again a special offer on Steam for Battlefield 2024. With a discount of 67%, the game costs €19.79 instead of €59.99 until December 6, 2022 at 7:00 PM.
Moreover, undecided players will soon have the chance to test Battlefield 2042 for free and get a current impression of the shooter:
From December 1 to 5, 2022, there will be a free period in Battlefield 2042 on Steam, during which players can try out the game.
In League of Legends, the preseason has been running for a few weeks. It is meant to try out new mechanics and make adjustments to the player experience. Despite all the changes, the battle for the leaderboard continues. The players of LoL have developed a new strategy that will help them climb the rankings.
What kind of strategy is it? During the preseason, Riot Games made some adjustments in the jungle. This is intended to make the role more attractive for new players. However, players who have already been in the jungle have to completely readjust.
They have decided to enter the game with 2 different positions that bring the “Smite” spell. If the two players coordinate their jungle item cookies precisely, they can gain a massive gold advantage. This strategy offers few opportunities to counter.
In this video, you can see how huge League of Legends has become:

The excessively strong strategy for the jungle
How exactly does the tactic work? Both players take a position in the jungle. The goal is not to rethink the team’s role distribution, but to play differently in the jungle role.
The two players take turns using the advantages of the jungle. They use the summoner spell “Smite” and it works as follows:
The first player buys the jungle item and the second their normal starting item.
Once the first player has farmed 20 stacks on their jungle item, they switch to the mid lane.
The player from the mid lane returns to base and gets their jungle companion. They then collect 20 stacks on Smite as well.
Once the second player is finished, they switch again until player number 1 reaches the next milestone.
Then they switch again.
Through this switching, both players gain experience and gold from both the lane and the jungle. The team also then has Smite available twice and can contest neutral objectives, such as the new dragon and Baron Nashor more easily.
Here we have an excerpt from “Value247” (via YouTube):
YouTuber “Value247” shows when the jungle item should be purchased in the mid lane
What is the downside of this strategy? The major drawback of this strategy lies in finding the right players with the right champions. If either one is not suitable, it becomes very difficult to execute this tactic.
This tactic is suitable for Graves in the jungle, as he also does well in the lane. Any champion is possible for the mid lane. However, if the jungle player does not know how to behave in the mid lane and cannot play there, valuable gold and experience will be lost.
If the two players do not coordinate properly, it can also lead to significant difficulties in the mid lane. For example, no one may feel responsible for the mid lane. Or the player from the jungle insists on defeating his neutral opponents.
Both are possibilities that present a challenge for the players. However, if they can coordinate, the players will easily storm the rankings and improve their statistics.
