Pokémon GO is sorting out Mega Raids! A total of 4 Mega Pokémon will disappear from Raids in December. We will show you whether these bosses are still worth it.
The bosses will disappear on December 1st at 10:00 PM.
Instead, Mega Sceptile will come into the Raids immediately afterwards and will be available for the first time. We will show you what to expect in December during the Mega Raids and what the changes will mean.
4 Mega Raid bosses are leaving – Why?
This is behind the removal: Starting in December, the “GO Beyond” Update will begin. This will also introduce the seasons, which will have an effect on Mega Raids.
Niantic has already confirmed that some Mega Pokémon will become stronger during a season compared to others. A Mega Sceptile will likely be boosted by the first season, and the removed Pokémon could become rather weaker. In the next season, this might change again.
Mega Pidgeot is being removed from the Raids
Which Mega Raids are there in December? Unless additional bosses are removed, the list of Mega Raids in December should look as follows:
Mega Charizard X
Mega Gengar
Mega Sceptile
The selection is therefore limited. However, you shouldn’t be hoping for a specific boss, as there is a much greater chance of getting your desired boss.
Are the bosses still worth it? The 4 bosses that are disappearing in December are definitely worth it. Mega Pokémon are generally stronger than their normal forms and are a good choice in Raids.
However, the effort required for a Mega Pokémon and the few hours that a Mega Pokémon is available speak against these evolutions.
For the Mega Dex, you should have possessed each Mega Evolution at least once. So, if you are still short on energy for the evolutions, you should quickly complete the Mega Raids.
If you find it hard to motivate yourself to play in winter, then take a look here:
Winter has arrived in Germany and for trainers of Pokémon GO, this means cold fingers. We show you how to play effectively in winter.
We show you this here: Anyone out and about playing Pokémon GO is currently having a tough time. Bad weather and contact restrictions due to Corona make playing difficult.
To ensure that you still succeed, we give you tips for playing. This way, you can follow the Corona rules, brave the bad weather, and still be successful.
Tips for Pokémon GO in Winter
It should be clear: Even we at MeinMMO don’t know a magic remedy to chase away the cold. However, there are some gadgets that can help you in winter or ways to avoid the cold.
Incense has significantly improved. So just stay at home and light an incense for an hour. The Pokémon will come to you and your fingers will stay warm.
Your buddy brings gifts, and in general, you can carry more gifts. This makes sending and opening gifts from home easier.
In 2020, it’s easier than ever to effectively play from home. Here are some tips:
Since summer 2020, you can do remote raids in Pokémon GO. This is perfect for playing from home, as you can sit on the couch while being invited to raids from the other side of the world.
Standing outside in the cold for 2 minutes until the lobby expires is a thing of the past. Remote raids are ideal for winter, and anyone wanting to play effectively should consider remote raids.
Tip 3: Move to stay warm
Anyone still going outdoors should always stay in motion. This is essential because otherwise, you get cold much faster. If you encounter a large spawn point with many Pokémon, you should rather select only your favorites and leave the rest.
If you prefer to catch everything, you should use the catching trick. This trick allows you to catch Pokémon faster. So you can empty large spawn points within seconds.
Tip 4: Clothes make the Pokémon Trainer
Wearing thick clothes in winter is of course logical, but if you want to show everyone that you are a Pokémon Trainer even in winter, you should choose the right clothing.
We are linking some stylish Pokémon items here that show other trainers your love for the game. There are even masks with Pokémon designs:

Use the right gloves: Cold fingers are the biggest problem when playing in winter. Therefore, we recommend that you wear touchscreen gloves. With these, you can tap and throw on your phone while keeping your fingers warm:

Is your phone winter-proof? In winter, it becomes evident whether your phone still works well. When it’s cold, phones tend to lose battery faster, which reveals a problem. We are linking here 3 phones that we recommend for playing Pokémon GO:
Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.
Tip 5: Use a GO Plus
If you still have cold hands despite wearing gloves, you can rely on a useful gadget from Pokémon GO: the GO Plus or alternatively the Pokéball Plus.
With it, you can catch Pokémon at the push of a button and keep your hands in your pockets. The phone can even stay in your pocket – as long as the gadget is connected to your device.
The GO Plus is not only helpful in winter. If you want to take a walk without staring at your phone, the GO Plus is a good choice.
Just be careful. These gadgets are often sold out. We are linking them here:
Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.
Tip 6: Play in PvP mode
The PvP mode is relaxed from home and you don’t even have to go out. Currently, the PvP mode is also perfect for all beginners, because you can level up faster than ever.
It’s definitely worth spending a PvP evening on the couch to grab those rewards.
Tip 7: Clear your Pokémon box
Trading Pokémon is important and brings you, among other things, luck Pokémon with good IVs. In this regard, Niantic is also testing an increased trading radius. You can trade with friends without being directly nearby.
So take advantage of this opportunity in winter and sort out your Pokémon box and trade any Pokémon that are useful but you no longer need.
The Level 50 is coming to Pokémon GO along with the Platinum Medals. These are medals that are even better than the Gold Medals. Furthermore, you need these medals to advance to Level 50.
You can work on the medals you don’t have yet during the winter. These could be, for example, the medals related to PvP battles or the medal for Wayfarer evaluations.
Work diligently on your medals, and you’ll have an advantage by the time the maximum level is introduced.
More information about levels from 40 can be found here:

The well-known e-sports team Team SoloMid has signed a new player in League of Legends: Hu “SwordArt” Shuo-Chieh from Taiwan. He is said to have been contracted for a sum of $6 million – a record in LoL, especially for a support player.
Who is the player? SwordArt has been suspected as the new player for TSM for some time now, most recently after the retirement of LoL star Doublelift. Now, team owner Reginald has confirmed that he is under contract with Team SoloMid (via Washington Post).
Now, SwordArt is supposed to help build the new roster of Team SoloMid in North America. They are restructuring after both Doublelift and star player Bjergsen retired to move into management instead.
The title image is credited to Riot Games.
Contract likely leads to record amount
How much money does SwordArt get? According to the Washington Post, the contract between TSM and SwordArt is for two years and the player will receive $6 million (approximately €5 million). That is $3 million per year.
This means SwordArt earns more than an average Bundesliga player. In 2018, the average annual salary of German football professionals was €1.4 million, with the median being “only” €821,000 (via spox.com).
Previously, the record contract was rumored to be held by “LoL retiree” Jensen.
Additionally, SwordArt is a support player. Traditionally, players in this role receive the least attention and the least money. The focus is usually on the top stars in the mid-lane or among the AD carries, and less often on junglers or top laners.
Elsewhere, things do not look so rosy at the moment. The most important LoL team in the world, T1, was supposed to get a new coach, 27-year-old Nick “LS” De Cesare. However, he was swept away by a huge wave of hate.

This is what happened: On November 26, the Twitter channel “StreamerBans” reported that the Twitch partner Forsen was banned. His channel on Twitch is also no longer accessible.
The exact reasons for the ban have not yet been disclosed by Twitch. However, some fans suspect that it is related to DMCA regulations.

Why was the ban imposed? This is still completely open. The streamer has not been involved in any major scandals in recent weeks, so a ban is unlikely to be due to that.
Both Forsen and Twitch have remained silent on the incident, and many fans are already discussing the cause.
The topic around DMCA regulations is repeatedly mentioned. It concerns the streamer’s clips that possibly contain music for which they do not own the rights.
On Twitter, some viewers of Forsen report that the PUBG stream of Forsen might have been a reason for the ban. Other players reportedly targeted the streamer’s lobbies and intentionally played music that could lead to a ban.
In September, another ban followed, which only lasted one day – the reason for this was his Swedish accent, which Twitch understood as a swear word he didn’t actually use.
Forsen is among the biggest streamers on Twitch with over 1.4 million followers. He shows a variety of games there. Recently, it has mainly been Tekken 7 and PUBG.
If you’re looking for variety on Twitch, check out these female streamers:
A family was hit particularly hard. The Amazon driver who was supposed to deliver the console had it in his hand, but then got back into his car with the package and drove away. The PS5 never arrived and was stolen by the supplier.
Amazon driver fired after theft
The theft filmed: The family father filmed the event with the delivery person. He then shared it on Twitter. We have included the screenshot from the magazine Eurogamer, who discovered the case on Twitter:
The video shows the delivery person distributing several smaller Amazon packages to neighbors. Then he places a larger package in the street, which he shortly afterward loads back into his vehicle. The PlayStation 5 was reportedly contained in there.
Here’s how it proceeded: Eurogamer reports that the affected family was in contact with Amazon’s customer support afterward. They offered the family a refund and gift cards as compensation.
However, the daughter of the family drove to the Amazon warehouse and showed the recorded material to the manager there. Amazon assured the family and also stated in a local press release that they would fire the driver and that they have high standards for their drivers.
This is how the launch went for many fans: The PS5 launch was chaotic for many fans. The demand was massive, and Sony could only cover a small part of it. The allocations were sometimes sold out within minutes.
Accordingly, the prices that sellers are now demanding for the new console on eBay are also high. There, prices are sometimes more than double the original price for the PS5:
Weapon leveling in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War takes a good amount of time. With a new update, it is now a bit faster, but you need to play the right mode.
Which mode now brings more weapon levels? You can now level your weapons faster in the PvE mode “Zombies”.
With an update on November 25, the developers at Treyarch actually revised an exploit that allowed players to gain more XP on their weapon during 2XP events than intended. However, the developers completely changed the weapon leveling in the Zombie mode and believe that it is noticeably faster now:
A problem has been resolved that allowed players to collect more weapon XP than intended in Zombies during 2XP events. The fix also includes general weapon XP optimizations, leading to faster weapon leveling in Zombies.
The developers do not go into detail about why it is faster or how much more XP the Zombie mode now provides. However, the CoD makers apparently see the complaints from many players who criticize the slow progression of weapon levels.
Update November 27: The YouTube channel “COD Zombies HQ” states that with just under 2,000 Zombie eliminations before the patch, you could reach weapon level 12, and after the update, you can get to level 16. The tests took place during a double XP event.
Cold War: Update on November 25 – More Patch Notes
The update from November 25 has even more to offer. The developers addressed stability issues:
A problem with crashes in the game mode “Domination” has been fixed
There were sometimes crashes when using the ping
There was a problem when loading into a multiplayer match that could lead to crashes
On these points, Treyarch also does not provide further details, but at least 3 causes of game crashes in Cold War have disappeared. A major update over the last weekend (November 20) already eliminated 20 such issues and changed 12 weapons.
In closing, the update also brought another game mode for the new chaos map “Nuketown”:
Hardcore Nuketown 24/7 was added to the “Quick Play” selection
Hardcore players no longer have to endure the normal modes if they want to jump into chaos on the small map. You can read the complete patch notes in English on the Treyarch blog.
This weekend, the online fair MAG 2020 will take place. We will show you what to expect and what content you will see there.
What is MAG? The MAG is a community convention that took place for the first time in 2018. The fair focuses on video games, table-top games, anime & manga, cosplay, merchandise, and streaming.
Normally, it would also take place this year in Erfurt. Due to the Corona pandemic, the traditional fair, like many others before it, had to be canceled. Instead, the organizers have come up with a hybrid solution:
The fair offers a streaming program
At the same time, you will be able to visit the “fairgrounds” digitally, like in a kind of fair MMO.
When does the MAG take place? The streaming program of MAG 2020 goes online on Friday, November 27 at 2:00 PM. It ends on Sunday at 9:15 PM.
What will be there to see? To continue providing visitors with a fair experience, MAG has relocated its “fairgrounds” to a virtual online world.
In the “MAG-MMO” by Super Crowd Entertainment, you can visit various areas of the fair with your character, which consist of 14 different themed worlds such as gaming, Japan, tabletop, cosplay, etc.
Each exhibitor has its own area that you can enter with your character. There, you have the opportunity to chat with the exhibitors, interact with various items in the world, or collect fan stickers and experience points.
In Destiny 2 Guardians long for powerful loot, and the Deep Stone Crypt fulfills this wish. You will find the new raid weapons here, including perk tips and fixed rolls.
If you master the challenges, special equipment that is only available in the Deep Stone Crypt will be your reward. With the new weapons, you can clear out and show off throughout the game.
MeinMMO introduces the new raid weapons to you here. You will learn what special perks the guns have, what the curated roll looks like, and what alternatives are currently available.
By the way, since the first Guardians managed to completely crack the raid, the game world has changed for everyone. You can read more about this here:
All stated status values are the base values of the weapon. So still without bonuses from perks. In comparison to other legendary weapons, the base values are undeniably high.
The curated roll is a special version of the weapon, which comes with a fixed roll rather than random perks.

Dusk – Hand Cannon
This is what the weapon can do: The new legendary hand cannon “Dusk” deals Arc damage and has a 180 rate of fire. This makes it very precise, has little recoil, and hits everything even in the air. However, the damage is relatively low.
In PvE, you will enjoy an easy-to-use weapon that avoids the annoying reload with nearly every perk or makes it faster.
In PvP, the 180s are not so popular, as their time-to-kill (TTK) is 1.0 seconds. However, they are perfect for learning hand cannons because they have very little recoil.
Origin: If this weapon breaks an enemy’s shield, it reloads from reserves – If the damage type matches the shield, ammunition is generated
One for All: Hits against three different targets increase damage for a medium duration
These are the stats:
Other strong perks include:
Vorpal Weapon: Increases damage against bosses, vehicles, and enemy supers.
Is there a good alternative? With update 3.0.0.3, another 180 hand cannon returned to the game on November 24: the Seventh Seraph Officer Revolver. It can create Warmind Cells on its own but has poor base values.
The following page continues with another primary weapon.

The wrestling organization WWE has released Thea Megan Trinidad (29). She was an emerging star in the wrestling world under the ring name Zelina Vega. She apparently refused to follow a directive from management to give up her Twitch channel. The termination puts WWE in the spotlight of influential US politicians.
Why are so many wrestlers suddenly streaming? In the USA, the Corona pandemic is raging. This affects every public event.
The WWE is also feeling the restrictions. While TV shows are still happening, they are recorded in empty arenas.
As a result, WWE is losing a ton of money, as ticket sales and merchandising profits are missing. The missing money and opportunities to do their jobs are felt by the wrestlers.
The wrestler Paige is successful on Twitch.
Wrestlers at WWE are not employees, but independent contractors. They are feeling the lockdown acutely. Many wrestlers who are usually on tour all year are suddenly stuck at home, have no contact with fans, and their income opportunities are disappearing.
Therefore, many wrestlers have earned extra money in recent months by streaming on Twitch or sending messages for money through platforms like Cameo.
Many wrestlers are naturally charismatic entertainers and have a large following that follows them everywhere. People like Cesaro, A.J. Styles, or the wrestler Paige quickly found success on Twitch.
This is why WWE is banning it now: A few weeks ago, it became known that WWE is prohibiting its wrestlers from appearing on Twitch or earning extra money through Cameo.
It was stated: WWE invests a lot of money in the “stage names of the wrestlers,” therefore they want to maintain full control over it. It is crucial that WWE protects its “most important assets,” so they cannot allow individuals to do their own thing on a personal level.
According to an insider, the new policy stems from WWE hiring a new manager, Nick Khan, who is implementing new ideas and wants to take a more restrictive approach.
In fact, after the ban, some of the big WWE stars have ended their Twitch streams, such as Cesaro. They stated how much joy Twitch brought them, but said goodbye to their fans.

We have reported on MeinMMO about former wrestler Paige, who opposed this ban. Tearfully she stated that Twitch is extremely important to her, and she does not want to be prohibited from it. For Paige, the refusal to give up Twitch has so far not had any negative consequences, at least none that have become known.
“Heart broken,” says wrestler
This wrestler was fired: A wrestler who also refused to give up Twitch was Zelina Vega. She has now been fired by WWE. According to the Wrestling Observer, she was released because she had refused to give up her Twitch account.
Zelina Vega says her termination has broken her heart. But she claims this is not the last time people will see her:

These are the larger implications: Wrestling enjoys a high status in the USA. An important Democratic politician, the interim presidential candidate Andrew Yang, has already announced in September that he would address the “situation of wrestlers”.
He said that if he does not become Secretary of Labor himself, he will at least have the number of the Secretary of Labor. He finds it ridiculous that wrestlers are categorized as “independent contractors” while they are simultaneously prohibited from doing everything, even appearing on Cameo.
It is now clear that the Democrats are moving into the White House. Yang has already announced after the termination of Zelina Vega that he has not forgotten WWE and Vince McMahon.
Wrestling and gaming have some parallels and are continuously seeking proximity to each other. The streamer Dr Disrespect is actually something like a wrestling character himself and had a confrontation with the Undertaker a few weeks ago:
The MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) offers you 6 different types of weapons to choose from. We want to know from you in our survey which one is your favorite.
Here’s what it’s about: Although ESO comes with a wide variety of weapons, every one of you surely has a favorite. You can always equip two of them and switch your weapon in battle, but everyone must have a favorite. And that’s the one we want to know from you through a survey by MeinMMO.
A staff, two weapons, and a two-handed axe – this is how heroes face the enemy
The agony of choice when it comes to weapons
These types of weapons are available: In The Elder Scrolls Online, you have a lot of freedom concerning your combat strategy. You can choose from 6 different classes, all bringing different foundations.
Each class can be played as a tank, DD, or healer and can wear any armor. Not only is every armor available, but all types of weapons are also at your disposal in every class and provide you with additional skills. These are the 6 types of weapons:
Bow – A weapon for ranged combat, designed for physical damage
Healing Staff – The weapon for healers or for other classes that want to have a backup
Weapon with shield – Here, you carry a one-handed weapon and a shield. There are swords, axes, maces, and daggers
Two-handed – These weapons are great for stamina builds and are popular in PvP
Two weapons – This type of weapon allows you to deal high damage in physical melee combat. Here, too, there are swords, axes, maces, and daggers
Destruction Staff – The choice for magical damage, mostly in ranged combat
These 6 categories are just the respective overarching term for the individual weapons. Each of these types of weapons also has different variations, such as a destruction staff with the fire element. Let us know in the comments which specific weapons you use and which classes you play with them.
Choosing a race can also play a role here. The individual races provide partially higher experience gain for your types of weapons. For example, Wood Elves have improved bow skills and Argonians are skilled in using healing staffs.
This is how you vote: You can cast your vote in the survey tool attached below. Keep in mind that you only have one vote, so you need to decide on the absolute best weapon.
The survey ends on November 29.

In Season 22 of Diablo 3, there are 3 achievements that reward you with a cool pet – Deckard Cain as a walking, bearded book. All you need to do is complete the seasonal journey. We will show you how in this guide.
One of the requirements of the seasonal journey this time is to complete three achievements. While two are relatively simple, many players wonder which achievement to choose as the third to complete “Flawless Victory”.
We will show you which achievements can be easily completed. This way, you can quickly secure the pet from Season 22.
I have the pet and you will get it too!
Use these 3 achievements for Season 22
This is the first achievement: The easiest of the three achievements is “Mineral Collection”. For this, you need to upgrade three legendary gems to level 65. This happens almost automatically while you run through the Greater Rifts with the strong builds from Season 22.
If you are already on the last page of the seasonal journey, you should be ready for portals of level 75+. At this level, you can easily upgrade the stones with Urshi after completing a Greater Rift.
What is it? For “Boss Mode”, you need to kill specific bosses within 20 minutes of starting a game. There are 16 bosses on the list that need to be killed. What sounds difficult at first is actually easy with some coordination.
How to do it? You can complete this achievement solo, with 2 players, with 3 players, or even with 4 players. The more players in the group, the easier it becomes.
We have a guide to Boss Mode in Diablo 3 here for you. Just follow the group division and you will achieve the success with a good amount of remaining time.
Portal Mania
What is it? For this achievement, you need to successfully complete a Greater Nephalem Portal of level 55 or higher with six class sets. And it is easier than it sounds.
How to do it? The basic requirement is that you have progressed with your character in the season and have set aside sets along the way. If you haven’t done that yet, you should start now. Because you need to collect six sets.
This can be done, for example, with 5 sets of the Demon Hunter and one Monk set. But you can vary according to your taste and take one set from each class.
So equip your skill set for maximum mobility and durability. The rest will be taken care of by the shadow clones that are summoned once you activate pylons.
If you want, you can also play the sets as they were intended. The biggest challenge of this achievement is really just collecting enough sets. And this happens easily in Nephalem portals or with the help of Kadala, who often gives you the sets you don’t actually play with.
Your Reward – The Cain Chronicle in Season 22
If you have completed all the tasks, a cool pet awaits you as a reward. You equip it through the menu, where you find other companions, wings, banners, and more content. On PC, you reach this via the F1 key.
If you want, you can equip the ongoing reading now so it accompanies you in your adventures in the rifts. Just notice the huge steps the bearded book has to take to keep up with you. A real eye-catcher in group play!
Which achievements have you completed in Diablo 3 to finish the seasonal journey? And did you have any difficulties with it? Tell us here in the comments on MeinMMO and exchange ideas with other players who are currently playing.

The Twitch streamer and YouTuber Aydan “Aydan” Conrad broke the kill record of a single player in Call of Duty: Warzone – 60 kills in a match. Check out the clip here and find out how he did it.
The battle royale Call of Duty: Warzone has already set some fantastic kill records since its release in March 2020. The highest proven number of kills that a single player amassed in a match was 58.
The streamer and CoD YouTuber Aydan was able to top that. In a “Solo against Quads” game, where he faced entire 4-player teams as a solo player, he ended up with a whopping 60 on his kill count. An outstanding achievement, and his gameplay is impressive as well. We embed the edited YouTube video here for you:

60 Kills in a Match with Boss – All About His Playstyle
How did he approach it? An important prerequisite for such high kill numbers as a solo player are matches with larger teams. Instead of going into a camping solo playlist, he starts a BR-4 match without filling. This way, there are fewer teams on the map, but all of them can potentially deliver more kills.
Aydan remains fully focused from start to finish and shows at every encounter with opponents how important good and clever movement is. His behavior in the Super Store at the start of the match underscores this directly. He fires at enemies, scores many headshots, and even against his rather weak Uzi, his foes can hardly respond.
He plays exceptionally well and has an excellent decision-making ability. In almost all situations, he makes the right choice whether to take cover, fire at enemies, or attempt a flank to surprise opponents from an unexpected direction. No one seems to be able to stop him – except in one situation, when he is sent to the Gulag north of the airport tower in the warehouse.
After the intense battle in the Super Store, where he already scored 8 kills, he gets caught up in record fever and fetches his two meta weapons Kilo 141 and the R9-0 with Dragon’s Breath. From here on, he is on the hunt and perfectly demonstrates how to utilize every advantage that the equipment and the map of Warzone provide:
He uses many vehicles to reach the next team and get kills
Acquires drones to track teams without the Ghost perk
Watches for enemy vehicles on the map that could indicate enemies
Always uses cover to move to the next point
He “reads” his enemies to push them into unexpected situations
Particularly impressive is his fight against a four-player team north of the Super Store (YouTube video at 8:50). From the roof of the house, he takes a few shots at an enemy who then calls in a precision airstrike on him. He positions himself exactly at the corner by the stairs, where he can obviously be seen. However, the enemy team was so focused on the “push” that he can hit 3 of the opponents hard from this corner and also take out the fourth.
The entire match then even ends with a boss fight (YouTube video at 14:00). In the end, he is alone with a Juggernaut on the map, who can take much more damage than he can. He is unsure if he can handle it, but he stays focused, proceeds wisely, and takes out this opponent from the match.
Which weapons did he use? He fully relied on popular guns of the battle royale, which are considered particularly strong – Kilo 141 and R9-0:
Aydan’s Kilo 141 setup
Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor
Barrel: Singuard Arms 19.8″ Hitter
Optic: VLK 3.0x Scope
Underbarrel: Commando Foregrip
Ammunition: 50-Round Magazine
Aydan’s R9-0 setup
Muzzle: Choke
Barrel: FORGE TAC Barrage
Laser: 5mW Laser
Ammunition: Dragon’s Breath Rounds
Grip: Rubberized Grip Tape
The Kilo 141 helps him from a distance of 10 meters. The weapon is extremely stable with the barrel and the VLK scope, allowing him to repeatedly land painful headshots on his opponents.
Anything that gets too close he takes out with his shotgun. The R9-0 offers a strong double shot that leads to heavy hits thanks to the fiery Dragon’s Breath ammunition. Here you can find more information about both weapons:
Which perks did he use? Here he relies on a combination that does not protect him from detection by drones, heartbeat sensors, or thermal optics, but provides advantages in duels with enemies:
What can players take away from this? Especially the way he moves is exemplary. In every situation where he cannot directly take down his enemies, he considers how he can surprise them. Each time he uses a way his opponents do not expect and gains an advantage over the often helpless foes.
You can try this yourself. If you know your opponent knows your position pretty well, use that to your advantage. Think briefly about how you would proceed and set traps for the enemy.
A good example of this is shown quite near the end of the video, just before the “boss fight” (YouTube video at 12:46). He drives his car visibly into the hangar for the enemy, but he gets out to then pressure the opponent from the other side. The enemy expects Aydan to stay in the car. Another easy kill.
However, it must be said that Aydan plays a lot of Warzone and is correspondingly skilled. But you should always keep an eye out for how you can improve yourself, and such strong gameplay videos are a good way to do that.
The strong playable character Fischl is currently available for free in Genshin Impact. However, this will change soon, so hurry up.
What is currently happening in Genshin Impact? The “Distant Stars” event is currently active in Genshin Impact, revolving around meteors. It runs until November 30 and offers a range of rewards that you can exchange for special event currency.
The most important reward of the event is the strong playable character Fischl. You can obtain the archer for free after completing all event quests. But you need to hurry, there isn’t much time left for that.
Get Fischl before it’s too late
How do I unlock Fischl? To obtain Fischl, you must complete all tasks of the “Princess Pact” quest line. This must happen by the end of the event on November 30, or the quest will expire.
Since November 23, all three phases of the event have been available, so you can complete everything in one go. The only prerequisite is that your adventure rank must be at least 20.
You start the quest in Mondstadt at the Adventurers’ Guild. The three parts of the event are:
Unknown Star
Star of Deceptive Dreams
Star of Destiny
What exactly the individual steps entail and how to solve them can be found in our detailed guide to the event:
What can Fischl actually do? Even though Fischl is “only” a 4-star character, she is a strong support character who enables good elemental combos with other characters. At the same time, she can also deal good personal damage and ranks at the top of the best 4-star characters in our list.
Is it worth it even if you already have Fischl? Definitely. Even if you have already unlocked Fischl as a character, you can still strengthen her thanks to the event. Instead of Fischl, you will receive her constellation and thus also powerful bonuses.
If you are more interested in Genshin Impact,this might also interest you:
What else does the event offer? Even if you have no interest in Fischl, you should check out the event. The individual quest steps are rewarded with primogems, and you can collect up to 360 of them in total.
Additionally, you will receive special currencies during the event called “Power of the Waning Stars” and “Essence of the Waning Stars.” You can exchange these currencies at the action merchant for various rewards:
Materials for character ascension (Wisdom of a Hero)
Mystical Enhancement Ore
Materials for talent improvement
There is also the Crown of Wisdom available in the shop, which you should definitely try to get.

Update 17:09: It is now known where TSM is investing the money it saves by not keeping Doublelift. SwordArt (23) is actually coming from Suning to TSM as a supporter.
He is said to earn $6 million for a 2-year contract, as stated by the head of TSM in an interview with the Washington Post.
From what is known, this is by far a new salary record for a LoL player in the West. At least for contracts that have become known or are rumored.
Doinb was the absolute star at the 2019 World Cup in LoL.
But at 27, Doublelift is also relatively old for a LoL player. Perhaps comments like those from world champion Doinb from China also reached him. Doinb said: In the USA, the same players always play and too few rookies come up. Doublelift and Bjergsen are now making way for a new generation:
Doublelift said: It feels wrong to retire on such a bad note, as following the Worlds embarrassment. But Bjergsen’s retirement has apparently troubled Doublelift.

Shortly after, it was announced that TSM would sign SwordArt, the supporter of WM finalist Suning. Doublelift would have received a high-class partner for the bot lane in his later years.
But the deal became complicated for visa reasons and dragged on. Insider Jacob Wolf reported: Doublelift did not want to play for TSM anymore if he did not receive “foreign support”.
It is likely that these circumstances played into the retirement decision. Perhaps Doublelift would have played for TSM in 2021 if the deal with SwordArt had gone through sooner.

In the League of Legends last year, Team Solo Mid had two legendary players. In 2021, TSM will have none. Following Bjergsen, Yilang “Doublelift” Peng has also announced his retirement. The bot laner has shaped US LoL like few others. The 27-year-old shone with his skill but ruined many chances with his massive ego.
Why is Doublelift so important? The bot laner Doublelift became a champion in the US LCS with 3 different teams. He played League of Legends since Season 1 and later became the star of US LoL. He has significantly influenced the history of the LCS and is regarded as one of the most well-known, talented, and controversial LoL players in the West.
Of the last 11 championships of the LCS, Doublelift has won 8:
In 2015, Doublelift became champion with Counter Logic Gaming. He was such an ego monster that he clashed with his supporter Aphromoo, who told the team: Either Doublelift goes or I go (via youtube).
Doublelift moved to TSM, his biggest rival, and won two championships there in 2016 and 2017. However, due to TSM’s lack of international success, management disbanded the team.
Those were still “good times” before TSM was shattered in 2017. Bjergsen and Doublelift in one picture.
After being kicked from TSM, he swore to take bitter revenge on the team, he moved to Team Liquid, winning 4 championships with them in 2018 and 2019.
When that was no longer enough, he returned to TSM and grabbed the 8th championship in the summer of 2020.
What was Doublelift like outside of Summoner’s Rift? The 8 championships show how much Doublelift has influenced the league. At the same time, he built a Twitch channel (1.4 million followers) and is someone who constantly shares his opinion on everything without holding back.
Later there was an affront because the manager held a phone conversation discussing internal details of TSM. The conversation became public because Doublelift was streaming at that moment and internal information leaked live via Twitch.
In spring 2020, it was a big topic: TSM’s manager supposedly brought in “her boyfriend,” Doublelift into the team.
“Everyone else is trash”
As a quote that made him famous, “Everyone Else is trash” – everyone is garbage, except him.
Doublelift started as a shy boy in League of Legends but has since developed into someone who flaunted not just being good, but especially being better than everyone else.
Doublelift clearly enjoyed the role of the “bad boy,” telling others how little they are capable of. He often does this with a smirk. There is surely some showmanship in this demeanor, but the question is: How much?
What still haunts him: Doublelift has never managed to get past the group stage at the Worlds. His teams always failed in the group phase.
Doublelift and Bjergsen were still the 2 stars in US LoL in 2020. Both have now retired.
Shy and unpopular before LoL – Confident afterwards
This is what Doublelift says: In a post on Twitter , the 27-year-old states that LoL has completely changed his life. Before he became a pro, he was a nerd and unpopular. In school, he was bullied, so he kept a low profile and tried not to stand out. He was shy, had zero self-confidence, and was basically someone who was forgotten while being seen.
As a pro LoL player, Doublelift finally gained recognition and pride. In the beginning, he faced harsh criticism. He played “too greedy”, didn’t fit in a team game like LoL, and was better as an analyst than as a player.
It was said that he could never win anything, but Doublelift trained 14 hours a day and then won 8 of the last 11 LCS championships.
From what is known, this is by far a new salary record for a LoL player in the West. At least for contracts that have become known or are rumored.
Doinb was the absolute star at the 2019 World Cup in LoL.
But at 27, Doublelift is also relatively old for a LoL player. Perhaps comments like those from world champion Doinb from China also reached him. Doinb said: In the USA, the same players always play and too few rookies come up. Doublelift and Bjergsen are now making way for a new generation:

The Penitent Hunt in WoW Shadowlands is causing issues for some players. We will reveal where to find the NPCs to complete the quest.
In the Venthyr of Revendreth, a new area of WoW: Shadowlands, things are anything but gentle. Souls are often tortured and tormented for fun during a hunt to extract Anima from them. However, the Penitent Hunt frustrates some players. The reason is that the quest objectives are not always correctly displayed on the map and minimap.
What do you need to do for the quest? For the quest “The Penitent Hunt” in WoW: Shadowlands, you need to hunt the recently released NPCs and instill real fear in them. First, however, you speak with the Fearmonger to start the event. Instilling fear is achieved – as is often the case in WoW – by attacking the penitents and nearly killing them. Normally, the NPCs are shown on the large map and also on the minimap, but there is currently a bug that prevents this from always working.
Here you can find Tiana, Yoshai, and Loksey – Coordinates
Where are the NPCs located? The exact coordinates of the NPCs are as follows:
Boss Tiana: 50 / 61
Yoshai the Merciless: 45 / 70
Master Hound Loksey: 47 / 64
With Master Hound Loksey, you need to be careful that he is being attacked by Truulax, who you must take out first. A video also shows the quest process:
https://youtu.be/HlXL8VkCWHo
However, please note that the NPCs may also be temporarily unavailable if they have just been defeated by other players. In that case, you just have to wait a few moments. This can take a few minutes in rare cases.
Other quests in Shadowlands are also causing discussions:
How can you see coordinates? It is not possible to see coordinates in World of Warcraft from the game itself. You need an interface addon like MapCoords (link to download on Curseforge). The currently best addons that everyone should install for WoW: Shadowlands, we present to you in this article.
Did you also have problems with the Penitent Hunt? Or did you complete the quest without any difficulties?

In Destiny 2, as a member of Amazon Prime or Prime Gaming, you can currently claim some Exotics. MeinMMO explains how anyone can secure the Twitch Prime loot for free and what rewards are available.
What is the Twitch Prime loot about? As Bungie has now announced, the studio is teaming up with Prime Gaming for another year. Players with an active “Amazon Prime” and/or “Prime Gaming” membership can benefit from this and grab additional in-game rewards for Destiny 2 across all platforms.
In this new cooperation year, there are set to be 12 monthly gear drops. Each drop will contain four Prime Gaming rewards such as exotic weapons, Ghost shells, ships, Sparrows, or weapon ornaments from previous seasons of Destiny 2.
When exactly can you secure these items? The first new gear drop has been available since November 25. You have until December 23 to claim it.
The following items can currently be secured through Twitch Prime: The first new Twitch Prime drop includes the following items:
the exotic emote “Unleashed” (seasonally inspired)
the exotic Sparrow “The Royal Howl”
the exotic ship “Transpose JT-24-X”
as well as the legendary Ghost shell “Bow Shell”
These are the 4 drops
Additionally, Bungie announced that at the start of each new season, there will be a special, seasonally inspired item available through the Twitch Prime loot in the respective month. For the current Season 12, the Season of the Hunt, it is the emote “Unleashed”.
This is how it works as an Amazon Prime member: Access to Twitch Prime is automatically available to Amazon Prime members; you just need to log in there and link your accounts. This is a service from Amazon.
If you’re already an Amazon Prime or Prime Gaming member and have linked your Twitch account to your Bungie account, simply visit the page of Prime Gaming. Log in, and you should see Destiny 2 directly under “In-Game Loot and More”. Go there for new content and claim it.
If you are a Prime member but have not yet linked your Bungie account, you can do so on this page.
This is how it works without a Prime membership: If you don’t have an Amazon Prime membership, it should not be a problem. You can test Amazon Prime or directly Prime Gaming free and without restrictions – as long as you have not done so already. You can register for the Prime Gaming test on this page.
Important: However, note that you must cancel the service before the 30 days expire if you do not want to use it longer. After that, monthly fees of 7.99 € will apply.
Now visit Amanda
Where can the items be found in Destiny 2? After you have successfully logged in and claimed your loot, you must visit Amanda Holliday in the game. You will find the mechanic in the Tower’s hangar.
What do you think of the current Prime loot? Is there anything you missed and absolutely want? Are you a complete newcomer and excited about new Exotics? Or do you have no interest in such exotic gifts?
A YouTuber has turned his Xbox Series S into an emulator for classic games. Games like Mario Kart or Star Wars: Rogue Squadron 2 run with strong performance.
What is it about? The YouTuber Modern Vintage Gamer presented in a video how to play classic games on the Xbox Series S. He played various games on the next-gen console and demonstrated the performance.
Where can you watch it? You can watch the entire English video on YouTube. Here you can also see how well the games perform on the Xbox Series S.

Playing classic Sony and Nintendo games on Xbox Series S
This is how it works: The YouTuber started the official Developer Mode of the Xbox Series S and then installed “Retro Arch”. “Retro Arch” is an emulator overlay that consolidates emulators and ROMs into a single interface. Afterwards, several emulators can be used. The YouTuber tested a few to demonstrate the performance:
Dolphin Emulator ( Nintendo GameCube and Wii games)
Beetle Emulator (Sega Saturn)
Reicast Emulator (Sega Dreamcast)
GameCube classics like Metroid Prime or The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker run smoothly and with very good performance on the Xbox Series S. A few titles do have issues, but most titles run very stable.
What to consider: A few obstacles will be put in the way of interested parties. To unlock the “Developer Mode” of the Series S, you must register your Xbox Series S with Microsoft and pay a one-time fee of 20 US dollars.
After that, you can install the “Unified Windows Platform (UWP)” version of Retro Arch via the console’s web browser. After that, it is not difficult to integrate emulators into the system.
Also important: Once the Xbox Series S is in Developer Mode, you cannot play regular Xbox games anymore. If you want to play next-gen games, you need to switch the console back to normal mode. The switch between the two modes is not very complicated.
Buying Xbox Series S: Who is it worth it for?
But who is the Xbox Series S worth it for? The Xbox Series S is the smallest and cheapest next-gen console. The console only achieves WQHD (1440p), offers no disc drive, and is therefore only a device for digital needs. However, the Xbox Game Pass offers a large selection of games for little money.
Who the Xbox Series S is worth it for and who should refrain from buying it, we explain in this article:
Marvel’s Avengers is not a financial success for publisher Square Enix. In a report to investors, the company president expressed clear words and admitted that the development costs have not even been recouped. However, they do not want to give up on the game just yet. A model here is likely the later success of games like Final Fantasy XIV.
What has been said about Marvel’s Avengers? Yosuke Matsude, the president of publisher Square Enix, recently released a report to investors. It also addressed the troubled Marvel’s Avengers. That the superhero MMO is not performing well is no secret. The player numbers are dwindling and the game has caused huge losses for the publisher in light of sales.
According to Matsude, the game has not even recouped its development costs:
The initial sales of “Marvel’s Avengers” were lower than we expected and could not fully cover the amortization of the game’s development costs. In the second half of the fiscal year (“2H”), we hope to compensate for the sluggish initial sales by offering plenty of additional content to boost our sales.
Square Enix wants to turn things around
What is specifically planned? The “plentiful additional content” mentioned by the CEO is partly already known.
We know that at least Kate Bishop will be coming to the servers on December 8, 2020. Early in 2021, content regarding Hawkeye and the villain Maestro will be released.
A leak has already revealed several more Marvel heroes, including Captain Marvel, She-Hulk, War Machine, and Black Panther. Additionally, a large raid in Wakanda is firmly scheduled. However, these contents do not yet have a release date.
Here, the outstanding development chief Naoki Yoshida and his team were able to completely redesign the game through hard work, ultimately making it one of the publisher’s most successful titles.
I fear the worst and hope for the best
If the currently struggling Marvel’s Avengers is to pull off a similar story, similar amounts of work will have to flow into the project. It will require massive bug fixes, much more new content, and a convincing marketing campaign.
After all, more must happen than just bringing the relatively unknown heroine Kate Bishop into the game with a bit of mission content months late and then talking about “plentiful new content.” The remaining fans of Avengers want more content, and they actually wanted it yesterday.
However, all this new content costs a lot of time and money, and it remains to be seen whether Square Enix and its investors are willing to bear it long enough.
Jürgen Horn Editor at MeinMMO
By the way, I really do not want my superpower of killing games to repeat with Marvel’s Avengers. The game is simply too fun and entertaining.

Anyone looking to buy or order a PS5 has to keep an eye on many markets right now. We definitely need a Twitch stream like this for retailers here.
What kind of stream is this? On Twitch, you can currently follow live in the stream of killercam1020 how the availability of the PlayStation 5 looks at various retailers.
Every few seconds, the broadcast updates the list of PS5 and Xbox Series X stocks at Amazon, Target, GameStop, Bestbuy, Newegg, Walmart, and AmazonUK. The stream also shows the current time and when new consoles were last available.
It’s a brilliant idea considering how many people are still trying to get a PS5.

The downside: The stream shows US and UK retailers. Stores like Media Markt, Saturn, and Otto, which are attractive for gamers in Germany, are not shown.
But the idea is so brilliant that we need something like this as well. This would reduce chaos when pre-ordering in Germany. It would be immediately clear at a glance in the stream which site to visit to secure a console. It saves a lot of work and nerves.
How does it work?
Here’s what it’s about: As Polygon.com reports, Cam Ritz runs this streaming channel and uses a program called Streetmerchant (via jef.codes/streetmerchant). This is publicly accessible and is said to be “the easiest tool in the world to check supplies.”
And does it work? Ritz explained to Polygon that some of his viewers have already secured a PS5 or Xbox Series X with the help of his stream. “I did this to help others,” Ritz humbly explains.
He himself was able to secure a PS5 right at the start of pre-orders. He plans to add more retailers to his watch list.
You should keep in mind: If you want to secure one of the coveted PlayStation 5 consoles through this stream, there will be a significant fee for shipping and likely also for importing from abroad. So make sure to find out how much everything will ultimately cost if you want to order there – and do so before you do.
A father used this method to buy a PS5 for his child
This is what Sony says: Directly from Sony, there is good news. They confirm that there will be more PS5 stock in 2020. So this could mean another chance for you to comfortably play the latest PS5 games with a controller in hand over the holidays while munching on speculaas cookies – provided shipping is accordingly fast.
In Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, the new map Nuketown ’84 has a nasty glitch that causes unfair kills. The dilemma is based on an old trick that was already usable in previous Nuketown maps.
In some of these maps from the past, there was a trick that allowed you to drive the scorestreak of the remote-controlled car (RC-XD) through hidden paths on a small race track around the map into the enemy spawn area. A user on reddit shows it here:

However, the current Nuketown-84 map still allows players to follow a form of this path, which clearly should not be in the developers’ intentions.
Old trick becomes game-threatening glitch
This is what the glitch does:According to Dexerto, their staff have found a way to glitch through the edge of the map. From there, you can apparently directly enter the enemies’ starting area and easily farm kills there. By the time the enemy reacts, you may have gained a valuable advantage.
However, we will not explain how the glitch works here. Please do not exploit such unfair advantages, as it is not fair to your opponents and may even lead to a ban. In the near future, you should be a bit more cautious at the outer spawn points and watch out for unwanted guests from the neighborhood.
The developers hopefully will fix this severe glitch soon with a hotfix. Then maybe a bug on another map will also become a thing of the past. Because in the Moscow map in CoD Cold War there are deadly windows where you can get hopelessly stuck. Then only death can free you from this dire situation.
