As soon as the MMORPG classic RuneScape launched on Steam, bad reviews flooded in – and they come precisely from RuneScape fans…
What is the situation regarding reviews of RuneScape on Steam? The MMORPG classic was launched in its current version RuneScape 3 on October 14th on Steam. Although this MMORPG has been running for over 19 years in this version with its own launcher, it was able to attract almost 12,000 concurrent players at peak according to Steamcharts.
However, the reviews are a bit complicated. Although the average rating is 86% and very positive, there has been a noticeable increase in negative reviews in recent days.

What do the Old School players say about RuneScape on Steam? There are indications that Old School RuneScape is better.
Melethril writes: “The ‘old RuneScape’ was different. Better…”
Varg explains: “Robber and annoying microtransactions (MTX) significantly devalue player performance. Repeated broken promises from Jagex to reduce or lower MTX amounts.”
YaMumsMoot says: “The only thing that has kept me from trying RS3 so far is that it’s filled with microtransactions. People will probably play RS3 more because it has better graphics than OSRS, but those people don’t know that ‘graphics don’t make a good game. It’s the gameplay.’”
Dr Monocle advises: “Do yourselves a favor and play Old School RuneScape.”
Why is RuneScape poorly rated? The interesting thing about the situation is that the game is not being rated poorly due to shortcomings. Instead, a review bombing is taking place – and it’s coming from RuneScape fans!
However, not from fans of version 3 of the online game, but from the Old School version. They have been waging a campaign against modern RuneScape for quite some time.
RuneScape can be played in a modern version 3 and as Old School RuneScape.
What are the differences between the two versions? RuneScape has changed significantly over the past 19 years; it is one of the oldest active MMORPGs.
Due to the intense criticism of the new features, the developer studio Jagex launched the Old School version in 2013, which is based on a rather early state and where only changes made in consultation with the players are accepted.
Why is RuneScape 3 so hated? It is these changes that upset the Old School fans. They alter the beloved game and ensure that developers have less time for the old version. Because there are still some issues in the Old School variant that have existed for years.
Moreover, Old School players do not like the microtransactions and believe that developers are developing away from the wishes of the players.
Can you understand the review bombing of RuneScape 3 on Steam?
After the community cracked a new puzzle, the open beta of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War has been extended on all platforms – PS4, Xbox One, and PC. And the extra time can be well utilized.
Today, the open beta was supposed to end: Currently, the open beta on PS4, Xbox One, and PC is ongoing. All interested parties can currently get their first impression of the multiplayer of the new Call of Duty 2020. This testing phase was actually supposed to end today, October 19, at 7:00 PM German time.
But as Treyarch and Activision recently announced, you now get a little more extra time to enjoy the new CoD Cold War. The beta has been extended.
Black Ops Cold War extends beta – All Info
How did the extension come about? In short: The community was able to solve a new puzzle. Through the Black Ops Cold War teaser website Pawn Takes Pawn, which was used to prepare the reveals of the multiplayer, zombies, and the campaign, a hidden message was decoded using codes. As a reward, there was an extra day for the open beta on all platforms.
These are the important times for the extension: The open beta of Black Ops Cold War now officially runs until 7:00 PM on October 20, meaning until Tuesday evening. You can play for an additional 24 hours.
That’s why it’s worth visiting the Cold War beta now
What should you use the extra time for? Who should check it out again? Here are 3 reasons to still visit the beta now. This is how you make the most of the extension:
One more day to game: In general, you now have 24 more hours to get your first impression of the game. The open beta, which is truly open to all interested parties, only began at 7:00 PM on October 17. Especially for players on PC and Xbox who did not pre-order Cold War, this is a good opportunity to see a little more of the game.
So if you haven’t had enough of the game yet, it’s time to keep playing!
All attachments unlocked: Moreover, all attachments for all available weapons have now been unlocked during the beta. So you can try everything at will and do not have to unlock certain attachments first. Especially if you haven’t had much time to play, this is a good opportunity to experiment and get a better impression of the weapons and their possibilities.
So if you haven’t tried or seen everything around the weapons yet – now is your chance!
One more day for old and new beta rewards: You also have one more day to secure the rewards from the beta.
What is the Team of the Week? The Team of the Week is released every Wednesday and brings new special cards to Ultimate Team. It rewards a total of 23 players with strong Inform cards for outstanding performances in real football. These cards can then either be pulled from packs with a bit of luck, or they can be purchased on the transfer market. They are also available in the Player Picks from the Weekend League.
What are TOTW Predictions? The TOTW Predictions are forecasts of which players could make it into the Team of the Week. Every weekend, the FUT community observes which players delivered strong performances and deserved a special card.
These predictions can provide an idea of what TOTW 4 might look like on Wednesday. These speculations can then be used for smart trading with the TOTW. You can learn more about this in our trading tips for FIFA 21.
Important: There is no guarantee that the predictions will be correct; they are merely speculations. The TOTW may ultimately look different.
Prediction for Team of the Week 4 in Ultimate Team
The predictions come from FIFA YouTuber Kieron SSF (via YouTube). The predictions are full of exciting cards, such as Müller, Mbappé, and Timo Werner.

Which Bundesliga players could be included? Hardly any Bundesliga player made it into the TOTW 4 predictions. Only Thomas Müller from Bayern Munich is included. In the 4-1 win against Arminia Bielefeld, Müller contributed two goals and one assist. Robert Lewandowski also scored twice, but the striker received a special card only in TOTW 2.
Who else is interesting? Timo Werner from Chelsea FC has good links to the Bundesliga and has an OTW card that could rise with a TOTW nomination. Additionally, names like Mbappé and Rashford are also very interesting on the list. We will find out what TOTW 4 ultimately looks like on Wednesday at 7:00 PM.
There are 3 new videos that raise hopes for another map in Call of Duty: Warzone. The reason for this is mainly the labeling of images found by a data miner.
What are these videos? They show landscapes that are not yet found on the map in Verdansk. They depict snow-covered houses and lush green forests. You can find all 3 videos in the forum resetera.
However, these locations are known from the beta of CoD Cold War. You can already play in these areas.
The hint for Warzone comes from the labels of the videos. They are marked with “wz”, which could stand for “Warzone”. This fuels the rumors of a new map for the free battle royale.
These are screenshots of the new videos from the data miner. Also, always the labels with “wz”. Source: Gamerant
The current map of Warzone also shows some locations that are already known from Modern Warfare. Now it is also conceivable that places come in that are known from Cold War.
Moreover, the videos show two different biomes. This suggests that a completely new map could be coming and not just an update for the current map.
These videos also align with the leak from a few days ago. There, a file was found that was marked with the abbreviation “wz”. It showed a drop sequence and briefly a picture of a new map. This brief glimpse perfectly matches one of the new videos.
This brief look at the map aligns perfectly with the video from the forest – Pay attention to the red house roof.
However, one must keep in mind that these are only findings from data miners. The “wz” could also mean something else and may not be related to a new map in Warzone.
When will we know more? On November 13, CoD Cold War will be released. Then we will probably also learn what will happen with Warzone and whether these images were really intended for a new map.
Until then, we will just have to wait a bit. If you want to see more leaks, you should check this out:
With Profane , you can expect a new sandbox MMORPG that particularly targets hardcore gamers and PvP fans. You must fight hard for the many freedoms.
What is Profane? In the MMORPG, you create a home for yourself in an open game world. From there, you set out to explore the world, gather resources, experience adventures, and conquer territories, similar to New World. There is no story. You write your own story.
It is important that you team up with other players to, for example, found cities. Because on your own, you will not get far. You create your hero completely freely. There are no classes. You determine how your character evolves by increasing skill through frequent use.
PvP plays a crucial role in the sandbox MMORPG Profane, for example in territorial wars.
PvP plays a very large role in Profane.
You can lose everything
Why is the MMORPG aimed at hardcore players? PvP is possible everywhere, and the developers explain that you must expect to encounter player killers at any time.
If a PvP fight occurs and you are defeated, your opponent can take all your equipment and empty your inventory. This full-loot system is something that probably won’t appeal to everyone.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of full loot? Full loot is a double-edged sword.
On the one hand, this system makes the world very dangerous, and those who venture out must expect to be attacked at any time and to lose everything. That can be quite frustrating.
But exactly this makes for a great appeal for some on the other side. This thrill of taking a high risk can also be rewarded. If you are the winner, you might find high-quality equipment from the defeated opponent.

The alpha of the MMORPG Profane had to be postponed.
When does Profane start? The first alpha tests were originally supposed to start at the end of 2020. However, the team has now stated that they do not want to rush anything. Therefore, the developers have postponed the testing phase to the coming year. However, there is still no new date.
The first tests are supposed to include core mechanics such as character creation, movement, and combat. Over time, more features will be added, and of course, the feedback of testers will be taken into account. Thus, a complete MMORPG experience is to be gradually created.
How much does the MMORPG cost? Profane is set to be released as a free-to-play MMORPG. Whether Profane will launch on Steam is still unclear at the moment.
What do you think of Profane? Is the full loot mechanic something that interests you?
Do you want to play a Vulpera in World of Warcraft soon? Then you should meet the requirements. We will tell you what you need to do.
The article originally appeared in October 2019, but was updated on October 19, 2020. The requirements to unlock the Vulpera have been adjusted.
With Patch 8.3 Visions of N’Zoth, the Vulpera came as a new playable race for the Horde, as they are another allied race. We will tell you what you need to do for the fox creatures and what requirements you need to meet to soon roam Azeroth in furry form.
Vulpera are adorable – and extremely popular with you!
These are the requirements for the Vulpera: Unlocking the Vulpera is relatively easy. The requirements were even reduced with Patch 9.0. You need:
A Horde character at level 50
The achievement “Secrets in the Sand” – which is obtained by completing all story quests in Vol’dun as a Horde player
If you meet these two requirements, you can unlock the Vulpera directly. You just need to accept and complete their quest in the Horde embassy in Orgrimmar.
What makes the Vulpera so special? The Vulpera have been very popular since their introduction as NPCs in Battle for Azeroth. They are regarded not only as a “cute” race but also have a number of cool racial abilities that give them essentially an additional hearthstone to a location of their choice – anywhere in the world. We have presented all the abilities of the Vulpera here.
Moreover, it should not be forgotten that the Vulpera have the dance from the song “What does the fox say?”:

When will the Vulpera be available? The Vulpera have been available since Patch 8.3 Visions of N’Zoth. You can play them directly and then immediately start causing chaos in World of Warcraft with your fox creature, to be ready for the next expansion Shadowlands.
Will you play a Vulpera? What do you think of this race?
The great slaughter in World of Warcraft continues. This player is eliminating dozens of enemies solo – only with a few special pets.
With Patch 9.0 of World of Warcraft, the legend of the player Rextroy should have come to an end. But even after the removal of PvP scaling, he has once again managed to find an interesting way to defeat his opponents. This time, he doesn’t even have to do the work himself, but uses companions to carry out the task for him.
What is shown in the video? Rextroy plays his Death Knight and goes hunting for Horde players. He summons several Water Elementals with the item Sea Totem, which can be farmed in Nazjatar. The item has a cooldown of 10 seconds, and the elemental lasts for 60 seconds each – meaning you can have up to 6 elementals active at the same time. The video then shows how Rextroy only has to use Death Grip. The rest is handled by the elementals, which often deal with enemy players in under a second. Particularly cloth-wearers stand no chance against them.

Why are the elementals so strong? Apparently, the scaling here is faulty. Because although the elementals should be at level 50, they hit incredibly hard. Their attacks deal between 3,000 and 6,000 damage points, which wipes out even well-equipped players in no time – especially when multiple elementals are present.
Even though the elementals have “only” about 11,000 health points when viewed and are displayed as level 50, they actually possess over 90,000 health points and are still level 120. Enemy players often miss the elementals and have little means to counter them.
Presumably, these totems were simply overlooked during the big level squish, as they reportedly still summon an elemental at level 120 according to the wowhead database, which explains their strength.
As usual, the error is likely to be fixed relatively quickly. Rextroy reports his found bugs and exploits to Blizzard, which usually resolve the issue within a few days via hotfix.
In any case, it is astonishing that Rextroy continues to manage to uncover new exploits and amusing kill opportunities week after week.
What do you think of Rextroy’s latest video?

In a recent interview, PS5 designer Yasuhiro Otori explained how Sony plans to adjust and optimize the fan and temperature development of the PlayStation 5 even after the launch of the next-gen console.
This is important to many: Heat development and especially the resulting noise from the fan was an annoying issue for many with the PS4.
And even though initial hands-on reports are saying that the new PlayStation 5 is really quiet – one of the biggest topics ahead of the PS5 launch remains the noise level as well as the heat development of the console. How will this develop over time?
However, Sony has invested a lot of time and money into the heat management of the PS5. The size of the PS5 was determined by this factor, liquid metal is supposed to help, and the fan is also massive. Now Sony has revealed that they still see potential for possible improvements, especially with the fan.
The size of the PS5 is also due to heat management
Where does the information come from? Yasuhiro Otori, the Vice President of the Hardware Design Division, spoke about this topic in an interview with the Japanese magazine 4Gamer.
Sony aims to further improve the PS5 fan – without hardware upgrades
This is what Sony has planned after the launch of the PS5: According to Otori, various additional games for the PS5 will be released in the future. Sony will collect data from all these games about how the heat development of the console behaves in those scenarios. This data is the key to understanding how millions of consoles handle a wide range of games – in various conditions: cold, warm, dusty, and so on.
Based on this data, they plan to optimize the fan control. But how exactly?
This is how Sony plans to optimize the PS5 fan “post-launch”: According to Otori, the PlayStation 5 has 3 temperature sensors on the mainboard. These can be used to control fan speed.
With the help of these sensors, Sony will be able to adjust the “fan control parameters” of the PS5 in the future to further optimize the console’s heat management – through firmware updates.
Call of Duty: Mobile has been one of the best mobile shooters since its release last year. The gameplay is one of the reasons why players celebrate it. With a few settings, mobile CoD plays even better. MeinMMO reveals them to you.
All settings can be easily adjusted in the game itself, helping you improve control and performance. The goal is to deepen the gaming experience and even give you an advantage over other players.
CoD Mobile may not necessarily look better with them, but it runs smoother and is easier to operate. They work for both multiplayer mode and Battle Royale.
Where can I find the settings? In the main menu, you will find a gear icon in the upper right corner of the screen. Tap on it and navigate to the corresponding options.
Here you will find the options.
Where do the settings come from? Some of these settings are used by one of the best players in CoD Mobile, iFerg. In his video on YouTube, he goes into a bit more detail.
1. Graphics and Audio: Focus on high FPS instead of visuals
What you should set:
Graphics resolution: Low or Medium
Frame rate: Max.
Depth of field: off
All other options: off, unless they are already disabled by default
This is how the graphic settings should look.
Why is this useful? This simple setting allows CoD Mobile to run more smoothly. However, you forego visual beauty. This is a trade-off that shooter players on PC have been making for many years.
A smoother game makes it easier to reliably see and hit opponents. That’s why many players generally focus on high FPS instead of fancy graphics.
Additionally, a lower graphic setting puts less strain on your graphic chip. This brings the advantage that your smartphone or tablet does not heat up as quickly, allowing you to play longer fluidly and without potential crashes.
2. Sensitivity: The right camera sensitivity
What you should set:
Standard sensitivity: 60
ADS sensitivity: 88
Sensitivity of the tactical scope: 129
Sniper scope sensitivity: 80
The camera settings are more a matter of personal preference.
Why is this useful? The camera settings determine your movement and look around as long as you are not firing a weapon, such as while you are running. Having the right settings here is crucial for quickly getting opponents in your sights.
iFerg generally opts for lower sensitivity. This generally allows for more precise aiming, but is slower and requires practice. You should start with higher sensitivities and work your way down.
Generally, you should continuously adjust these settings to your gameplay feel. If the camera movement feels too slow or too fast, adjust the options up or down by a few points.
The setting also depends on how many fingers you play with. As a rule of thumb, you should be able to make a 180° turn with a swipe. YouTuber ExotikkGaming explains this in more detail in his video:

Why is this useful? The fire sensitivity indicates how quickly you turn when firing a weapon. The settings should roughly match those used for the camera to maintain a consistent feel while looking and shooting.
The same applies to the camera. You aim slower but more accurately. If you feel the need to turn more quickly when aiming and firing, increase the sensitivity.
There’s no need to worry about the different scope sensitivities for now. You will need to unlock the corresponding scopes for many weapons anyway, for the new gunsmith feature, to attach them to the weapons.
If you find a scope you use often, you can adjust it the same way you would with regular sensitivities and customize it to your liking. Until then, they are not particularly important.
4. Sensitivity: The rotation mode
What you should set:
Fixed speed
Fixed speed rotation ensures even movement.
Why is this useful? This setting ensures you always have uniform movement when turning. This is important for better judging distances to the sides.
Alternatively, you can set the speed acceleration with an acceleration value of 140. This makes you faster when looking around after a short time, but also less accurate when aiming.
5. Controls: Custom firing mode
What you should set: You will find these settings under the advanced mode in the controls. Check “Custom” and tap the gear next to it to adopt the following settings:
Assault rifles: Hip
SMGs: Hip
Shotguns: Hip
LMGs: Hip:
Sniper rifles: ADS
Pistols: Hip
Many weapon types should be used in hipfire mode.
Why is this useful? With this setting, you control the firing yourself and do not switch to ADS mode by pressing the fire button for the corresponding weapons. This is important for all automatic weapons.
This prevents opponents from running behind you while you have to switch to aim while firing or are even forced to look around in aim mode. This takes significantly longer than from the hip.
Hipfire is thus extremely helpful with the corresponding weapons and is often precise enough at medium to short ranges to get the kill.
Since its release a year ago, CoD Mobile has continued to improve, but with these settings, it plays even smoother. Have you had success with them yet?

Galar-Makabaja evolves into Oghnatoll and not into Echnatoll. So there will be a completely new Dex entry – similar to Mauzinger, the evolution of Galar Meowth.
These are Galar-Makabaja and Oghnatoll
How strong is the Pokémon? This is still completely unclear. So far, Oghnatoll has not been found in the game files of Pokémon GO. Therefore, it is also not possible to tell how strong the monster will be.
Nevertheless, one should not expect huge leaps. Echnatoll is already a weak Pokémon and even if the Galar form Oghnatoll is somewhat stronger, it will not play a role among the best attackers.
What else is known about Halloween 2020? So far, the information is rather sparse. It is known that a Halloween event will take place again in October and that a special raid boss can be expected there.
The exact date and which other Pokémon will appear there is still unknown. In recent years, there have been double candies on almost all actions, increased ghost and dark Pokémon, and also completely new Pokémon. So we could expect similar things this year.
German WoW YouTubers can create really entertaining videos. In “Aldor-RP 3” you will see the madness that roleplayers experience every day…
On YouTube, you occasionally find some videos that make you wonder why such a good work has received so little attention. Especially in the WoW machinima scene, there are several that completely “fly under the radar”, even though they are of really good quality.
I want to draw attention to one of them – because it is from a roleplayer and at the same time deals with many interesting RP issues.
What kind of video is this? The video “Aldor-RP 3 | Heart – Friend or Betrayer” once again deals with the events in the roleplay of World of Warcraft and tells the story of the orc Kerrex, who, together with his Horde colleagues, has just launched a successful attack on the Alliance.
He is generally regarded as a good roleplayer whom others look up to – but this also indirectly binds him to a certain code he must act by. Something that other players exploit and thus steer his story in a direction he never planned.

Wasn’t this originally intended as a comedy? The series “Aldor-RP” actually started as a parody and wanted to depict and poke fun at roleplaying on the German RP realm “Die Aldor”. While the first part was clearly humorous, the second part already showed that a clear storyline was to be pursued, which is quite serious.
Now it has become an interesting story that still has roleplaying as its core theme. Issues like power emotes, OOC disputes in the sense of “Your RP is worse than my RP” and all the gossip behind the players’ backs are incidents that occur frequently on RP realms (and probably especially on Aldor) and spoil the gaming fun. And I won’t even start on the Goldhain problem.
Power Emotes: Such emotes are considered taboo in roleplaying and are generally regarded as bad RP. It describes completed actions that the counterpart can no longer influence. For example, if character A writes: “Character A hits character B so hard in the face that his teeth fly out of his mouth and he falls unconscious to the ground.” The player of character B is then faced with completed facts that he can no longer influence.
Cortyn says: Even though not much of the humor that was essential in the first videos remained, I really liked the video. The implementation is great and you can see in every scene how much work has gone into it. No wonder that it took several years to make this video. I’m happy to wait a few more for the rest of the series.
What do you think of the video? Do you know any cool WoW videos that are somehow too unknown?

In the ongoing Open Beta of the new Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, many players have already accumulated a lot of kills. One of them holds the current world record of 145 kills, which he has amassed with some skill.
Who is the player? Frizzeyes is a YouTuber with nearly 300,000 subscribers who has been creating content for the new Black Ops Cold War for some time now. After the Open Beta of Cold War started on Thursday, October 15th, Frizzeyes, like many others, has been playing extensively.
In one of his latest videos, he showcases his world record round with 145 kills:

He himself has only 14 deaths, which results in a K/D of nearly 10:1. This is the current world record in Cold War – At least no reports have emerged of players with even more kills. The bar for the record is now set quite high.
Currently, there appear to be some issues with cheaters in the beta, which has led players on consoles to forgo crossplay (via GameStar). Frizzeyes himself plays on the PlayStation 4.
MP5 – Kills thanks to strong weapon
This is how he did it: As his primary weapon, Frizzeyes uses an MP5, which has been regarded as a top weapon in Modern Warfare and has been among the best since release. His loadout looks as follows:
Primary weapon: MP5
Secondary weapon: Gallo SA12
Equipment: Stimulant and C4
Field Upgrade: Tactical Mask
A large portion of his kills is thanks to his Scorestreaks – these are special rewards for reaching a lot of points. The streaks have already been introduced in our facts about the Cold War multiplayer.
Frizzeyes initially played defensively at the start of the round and picked off careless opponents before becoming a bit more aggressive after a streak of 30 kills.
Especially with the “War Machine,” he has obtained numerous kills. This is a powerful grenade launcher that can even kill multiple enemies instantly. The grenades detonate upon impact and take out enemies within a small radius.
Frizzeyes owes many of his kills to the War Machine.
Can I do this too? Generally yes. He achieved the kills in the mode Connected Weapons: Assault on the map Cartel. This mode sends teams of 12 players against each other in a larger version of the “Hardpoint” mode. You work your way further into the enemy territory and basically play until one team occupies the enemy’s last zone.
This way, the rounds can last longer, and there are more kills. Generally, Cold War plays again “simpler” with more focus on action and less on tactics. Something that the shooter god shroud likes very much.
The Open Beta itself has been extended again. After players cracked a code in the alternative reality game “Pawn Takes Pawn,” the beta will now run until Tuesday, October 20th.

If you want to master the biggest challenges in Genshin Impact, you not only need suitable characters for your team but also strong weapons. We present to you the 10 best weapons currently in the game.
In the cooperative RPG Genshin Impact, there are many weapons, but only a few with 5 stars. The rare Legendary weapons can only be obtained through prayers and have a meager drop chance of 0.7%. In our FAQ, you will learn everything you need to know about the Gacha system and prayers.
The 10 best weapons are divided into 5 weapon categories:
2 x One-Handed Swords
2 x Two-Handed Swords
2 x Bows
2 x Catalysts
2 x Polearms
This is how we evaluated: We selected the 10 best weapons based on their 5-star category and sorted them by their values and abilities.

The images of the weapons mainly come from our MeinMMO community. Thank you for your support.
The best One-Handed Swords
These characters wield One-Handed Swords: One-Handed Swords are wielded by most characters, especially the main character:
★★★★★ Qiqi
★★★★★ Jean
★★★★☆ Ayaka
★★★★☆ Kaeya
★★★★★ Keqing
★★★★☆ Bennett
★★★★☆ Xingqiu
The Twins (Traveler)
The best One-Handed Sword: Windfalke
The Windfalke is by far the best One-Handed Sword in the current game.
The Windfalke is suitable for every situation thanks to its bonuses.
These are the base stats: The Windfalke comes with a high base attack value of 48 and a physical damage bonus.
This is the weapon’s special ability: The special ability increases your ATK value by 20%. Additionally, you heal for 100% of your ATK value and deal damage in the surrounding area equal to 200% of your ATK value when you take damage. This effect has a cooldown of 15 seconds.
This way, you not only deal good single-target damage but also high area damage every 15 seconds when taking damage. The regular healing makes your hero a resilient fighter.
The second-best One-Handed Sword: Skyward Blade
The Skyward Blade is slightly weaker than the Windfalke but still brings good attributes.
The Skyward Blade charges your abilities faster.
These are the base stats: The Skyward Blade comes with a base attack value of 46 and a recharge rate bonus.
This is the weapon’s special ability: The special ability of the Skyward Blade increases your CRIT rate by 4%. When using an elemental ability, your movement and attack speed increase by 10% for 12 seconds, as does your damage from normal and charged attacks by 20%.
In combination with elemental abilities, the Skyward Blade is therefore a good choice and gives you a decent damage boost.
On the next page, you will find the best Two-Handed Swords and Bows.

In FIFA 21, the points system for Weekend League and Division Rivals has been changed. However, the new system does not seem to work for many players and creates a significant problem.
What system is being discussed? In the “Ultimate Team” mode, there are several ways to earn rewards – for example, through the mode “Division Rivals“. Here, one must achieve as many weekly points through good results as possible. Then, you rank up and receive good rewards once a week. Your rank is always relative to the performance of other players: If they collect more points over the week, they also receive a higher rank, leaving you at the bottom.
This was also the case in previous FIFA titles. However, new in FIFA 21 is that there is a 30-game limit per week in Rivals. Once you have completed those, no further points are counted towards the weekly ranking. Thus, every single game matters, and you must collect as many weekly points as possible per game. An endless grind is no longer possible. This has already caused problems.
The higher the league, the better the rewards
What is the problem with Weekend League? So far, it has always been the case that Weekend League games contribute to the weekly Rivals score. In Weekend League, one can also play 30 games, and each of these games brings 400 points towards the Rivals ranking – regardless of the outcome.
Players wondered if this would still apply considering the new Rivals limit of 30 games. If so, Weekend League players, who could theoretically add another 30 games with 400 Rivals points each to the Weekly Rivals limit, would have an advantage.
Now EA Sports has provided an answer to this question.
This is how the new points system in Division Rivals and Weekend League works
EA Sports explained on Twitter how the points allocation in FIFA 21 will work:

It quickly became clear in the thread: No, Weekend League players cannot add points from 30 games again – but the system still creates problems. Let’s look at this in detail:
In the thread, EA Sports explains that Weekend League games still bring 400 points for the weekly Rivals score.
This only applies if players have not yet completed their 30 Rivals games.
Each Weekend League game that brings weekly points counts toward the 30-game limit of Rivals. Once those are used up, no more Rivals points are earned.
Players who have already completed exactly or more than 30 Rivals games before the Weekend League will not receive weekly points anymore.
Here’s why this is a problem: In Division Rivals, one can earn more than 400 weekly points per game, while the Weekend League – regardless of the outcome of the game – always provides that score. This means: If one were to theoretically play their 30 Weekend League games without having played any Rivals beforehand, they would end up with 12,000 points and would not be able to increase that further over the week.
For players who play only Rivals and accumulate many wins, this could be an advantage. But those who also play in the Weekend League have a problem.
In the Weekend League, there are 400 weekly points for Rivals
Theoretically, one could collect weekly points in Rivals before the Weekend League. The problem: The Rivals list resets every Thursday morning – so only just under 24 hours before the Weekend League starts. This means that to maximize weekly points, one would theoretically have to play 30 successful Rivals games before the Weekend League. And then another 30 in the Weekend League if they also want the maximum rewards.
That would mean 60 games in Rivals and Weekend League between Thursday and Monday morning. And that would get pretty tight.
Players say: This doesn’t work
This is how the community reacts: In the FIFA subreddit, the change has not been received well at all. The decision to distribute points this way is hardly understandable for most.
“This makes absolutely no sense, unless they move Rivals Rewards/Refresh to Monday,” comments user ebmarahssimi (via reddit): “This needs to be reworked, otherwise there will be an uprising.”
“What an absolute joke,” finds another user (via reddit): “If you don’t play all 30 games in Rivals before WL, you will be MASSIVELY disadvantaged if the Rivals rewards are only given for playing WL.”
“Here’s a solution that takes 30 seconds: Weekend League games no longer count toward progress/rank in Rivals,” suggests another user (via reddit).
So far, it is not known whether further changes to the points system or adjustments of the reward days are planned. Overall, however, the current decision is evidently not well received.
The new points system is not the only thing that is causing confusion in FIFA 21. The sudden crash of the transfer market also came as a surprise.

Destiny 2 receives the next major expansion with Beyond Light. November brings some exciting new features for the game, such as new locations and classes. Read all the information about the DLC, the release date, various editions, and next-gen.
What is Destiny 2:Beyond Light? Behind this name lies the Destiny highlight of the year. It is the third expansion for Destiny 2, which is called “Beyond Light” in German.
In November, Guardians will receive a ton of new content and numerous profound changes that will greatly alter the gameplay experience. Fortunately, you don’t need any of the previous content.
Information about the release, the transition to next-gen, and everything that space cowboys and those who want to become one might ask about the next Destiny chapter can be found here.

Release: November 10, 2020 Platforms: PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X / S, PC via Steam, Google Stadia Developer and Publisher: Bungie
This article is regularly updated and supplemented with new information – as of October 19.
In Beyond Light, the first new classes in 6 years await you.
Destiny 2:Beyond Light Release, Platforms & Storage Space
When is the release? The expansion Beyond Light will launch on November 10.
Initially, the release date was set for September 22. Due to the COVID crisis, Bungie announced on July 16 that the Guardians would have to wait about 2 months longer before they could set foot in the snow of Europe.
The delay also led to an extension of the currently ongoing season of arrival:
The expansion will therefore be available on all platforms where you can currently play Destiny. Additionally, Beyond Light will be available in an upgraded form for Sony’s (PS5) and Microsoft’s (Xbox Series X / S) next-gen consoles.
Is there a pre-load for the expansion?
Yes! A precise time for the pre-load is currently not known.
Bungie has informed us that we can start downloading at least 10 hours before the release (via Bungie). We assume that after a successful download you can play Beyond Light during the reset on November 10.
The actual installation size is estimated to be between 59 to 71 GB depending on the platform.
In the current season of arrival, the game, for example, takes up 105 GB on PS4.
However, there is a catch regarding storage space: To prepare for Beyond Light, you must completely re-download and install the entire game. The pre-load is expected to mitigate this.
Destiny 2: Beyond Light on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X
What we know about Destiny 2 on Next-Gen: You can play Destiny 2 on PS5 and Xbox Series X. The game will be adapted to the much higher performance of next-gen consoles.
If you own Destiny 2 on previous-generation devices, this upgrade is free of charge.
What is coming at the launch of the new consoles:
Immediately at the release of Xbox Series X and PS5, you will benefit from faster loading times
You will have immediate access to cross-generation play – so anyone who could not get a new console remains connected with their friends
This means that PS4 Guardians can play together with Guardians on PS5 and players on Microsoft’s Xbox Series X / S can team up with players on Xbox One.
This next-gen update is coming: On December 8, console players will then enjoy previously PC-exclusive features:

Story of Beyond Light: What it’s about in the new expansion
Currently, the Guardians are in Season 11, the Season of Arrival. Mysterious pyramid ships of Darkness are spreading across the solar system – players have been looking forward to the arrival of this enemy for 6 years.
Variks, an old acquaintance and traitor, lures you to the DLC location Europa starting November 10. But other important characters have also set off for there, some of whom have been hidden since Destiny 1:
The grumpy Eris Morn,
the Exo-Stranger, who probably has time this time, and
the Drifter have gathered on Europa.
The new main villain in the DLC is the Kell of Darkness –Eramis, a nasty Fallen, who has been bothering us from the background for years.
The mysterious pyramids are also present on Europa.
So far, little is known about the DLC’s story. In an interview, MeinMMO has already learned about how the overarching story plans look until 2022: Destiny 2 will continue for years as an MMO.
In Beyond Light, the loose story threads are expected to come together.
The new location Europa: Beyond Light introduces a brand new area: Jupiter’s ice moon Europa.
We already know that we will encounter the Vex and Fallen in the ice deserts, ruins of the Golden Age, and underground laboratories. If you want to get an initial impression of the size of the new zone, you can start a virtual tour of Europa here.
Check out the German video here to see what awaits you on Europa:

What about Season 12? Along with the expansion, the next season in Destiny 2 also starts. However, Bungie has remained silent about its name, content, or timeframes.
However, we know that a season model will also be used in the future to bring content to Guardians alongside the annual expansions. In the coming weeks, we expect insights into roadmaps and a preview of the season pass.
Destiny 2: Beyond Light Pre-order
All prices and editions of Beyond Light for the various platforms as well as the bonuses can be found here.
What editions are available for Beyond Light?
Destiny 2: Shadowkeep is currently offered in three different editions with various extras – these are available digitally in your platform’s shop, in Bungie’s Store or from other retailers. Additionally, there are three collector’s editions that are only available through the Bungie Store:
Destiny 2: Beyond Light – Standard (39.99€)
Destiny 2: Beyond Light – Standard + Season 12 (49.99€)
Destiny 2: Beyond Light – Collector’s Edition without game (138.99€)
Destiny 2: Beyond Light – The Stranger Edition (129.99$) – Only available in North America for PC (Steam)
All pre-orders will receive an immediate pre-order package including the exotic Ghost shell “Reifkristall” and a legendary emblem:
What differentiates the editions?
All editions except “Collector’s Edition without game” offer full access to the Beyond Light expansion. If you want to secure physical goodies or small in-game bonuses or the season pass for the upcoming year, you have a tough choice.
Destiny 2: Beyond Light – Standard Edition + Season 12:
provides additional access to the full seasonal content of the previously unknown Season 12
the weapon bundle of the Stranger (Exotic pulse rifle “No Time to Explain” Exotic “No Time to Explain” Catalyst)
“Destiny 2: Beyond Light – Deluxe Edition:
includes all previous content
seasons 12, 13, 14, and 15
the “Beyond Light” exotic emote
the upgrade package of the Stranger (Exotic Sparrow “Every Other Horizon” Exotic “No Time to Explain” ornament)
Destiny 2: Beyond Light – Collector’s Editions: Again, all contents of all previous editions are included. However, there are also some tangible collectibles included:
“Shard of Darkness” die-cast replica with lights
the Europa Explorer bag
the Europa Explorer canteen
a mysterious logbook and other findings from Europa
Currently, all collector’s editions are sold out.
If you live in North America, you can still pre-order the “Destiny 2: Beyond Light – The Stranger Edition”.
This comes with a 25 cm tall statue of the Exo-Stranger and
a code for the deluxe edition for Steam.
New Features and Changes from Beyond Light
As befits a major expansion, Beyond Light brings numerous new content that enrich Destiny 2 and partially change it drastically. For the first time, a new element will be introduced, entire planets will disappear, and will be replaced by highlights from Destiny 1.
Week by week, Bungie presents deeper insights into the upcoming DLC – so there will regularly be updates in this article.
Stasis: New Super for All Classes and the Ice Element
What you need to know: With Beyond Light, Destiny introduces the first new element ever since the game’s inception. Joining Arc, Solar, and Void from November 10, Stasis will be added. This type of damage is bestowed upon us not by the light of the Traveler, but by the power of Darkness.
In the game, the abilities resemble the ice element. You can create ice walls, freeze enemies, and dramatically shatter them. Our enemies will also gain access to Stasis.
Check out the trailer here to see what Guardians can do with the new power:

This is happening to old content: Destiny 2 will receive fresh content with Beyond Light, but players will also have to say goodbye to a massive amount of known content. Almost half the game will be moved into the so-called Destiny Content Vault (DCV).
Starting November 10, you will no longer be able to visit these locations:
Mars
Io
Titan
Mercury
Leviathan
But not only the patrol areas there will disappear, all quests, PvP maps, strikes, and raids will also be unreachable to you.
This is what the solar system will look like soon:
Here is what the map of Destiny 2 will look like after autumn.
Why is this happening? An insider has revealed why Bungie is really cutting half of Destiny 2: The game simply became too large, too unwieldy, and carries tons of dead content. The “sunsetted” content can then be quietly maintained. This is meant to make the game future-proof, as Destiny 3 is not a topic for Bungie.
We should imagine the DCV as a large resource pool of content from Destiny 1 and Destiny 2. This also means there is the possibility that soon you might experience the highlights from the first game in Destiny.
Already at the launch of Beyond Light, parts of the Cosmodrome will be available. Later on, the iconic raid “The Vault of Glass” will follow.
We don’t know much about the new legendary weapons and armor coming with Beyond Light yet. We only know how the sets from Europa look. Nothing is known about new perks or properties.
The new Exotics: We know a lot more about the 10 new Exotics from Beyond Light. Bungie has introduced these, including their unique abilities, in a trailer.
Here you can check out the 4 new weapons and 2 Exo armor pieces for Hunters, Titans, and Warlocks in the German video:

The last raid for 6 players came to Destiny 2 just over a year ago – in Shadowkeep. With Beyond Light, you and your fireteam will be able to prove yourselves with tough mechanics and nasty boss enemies – and, of course, acquire exclusive loot.
We currently do not know the name of the new raid. Bungie traditionally holds back with information about weapons, armor, or secret exotic quests.
Off to the Deep Stone Crypt: But we already know when it starts and where the adventure will lead you. Deep beneath the frozen surface of Europa awaits the Deep Stone Crypt.
It is believed that the Deep Stone Crypt is the birthplace of the Exo race.
The “Beyond Light” raid goes live:
On November 21, the new raid will open its gates
At 19:00 German time, the launch will commence
In addition, some special competition conditions will be active in the first 24 hours to ensure fairness. You can find more about this and the rewards for your efforts here:
One of the most significant changes will likely be sunsetting – the “weapon and armor sunset”. With Beyond Light, all weapons and armor (except Exotics) will have a cap for infusion.
This topic is being controversially discussed – including by the MeinMMO community:
Destiny 2: New Light Details – What will be different with Free2Play
This will be cut: Many contents that Guardians could play with the free version Destiny 2: New Light will disappear into the content vault. This includes, for example, the three campaigns from Year 1.
What can I play? The following contents will be available for free starting November 10:
Free-to-play players can tackle patrols in the listed locations (but cannot complete story missions there)
Play Strike, Crucible, and Gambit playlists
Complete the dungeon “Prophecy” – this is set to be active again shortly after the release of Beyond Light
Participate in events such as the Winterfest “Dawn” or the “Crimson Days”
Destiny 2 will soon get a new beginning – Here’s how your journey as a Guardian starts
This new beginning is coming: To make Destiny 2 more understandable for fresh Guardians, the beginning of the adventure will be significantly expanded. You will complete several missions in the Cosmodrome that familiarize you with important mechanics and systems of the loot shooter.
Shaw Han will be the new trainer for “young Guardians”.
Why this is also interesting for veterans: The new beginning can be experienced by all players. Even long-time Guardians from Destiny 1 will find new things in the missions – for example, a new “lost sector”.
This should evoke nostalgia while also guiding new players more strongly by the hand.

What you can still do until the release on November 10 and why a special highlight could await us before the launch of Beyond Light, read here:
The official Twitter account of Xbox Game Pass has posted a strange image. Now players are wondering whether this is a hint that the popular shooter Rainbow Six Siege is coming to the Pass. The connection is quite obvious.
What kind of image is it? It depicts a medieval siege, which the official Xbox Game Pass account posted on the channel without any comment. Above the besieged castle, six rainbows can be seen. This is a rather clear hint because:
“six rainbows” is translated to English as “six rainbows”
a siege is called “siege” in English

It is quite clear that the image refers to Rainbow Six Siege. The image can be found on the official channel, which suggests that the game will soon be added to the Game Pass. However, this has not yet been confirmed, and no date has been provided.
Why is the Game Pass so good? With the Game Pass, you gain access to over 100 top games for a small monthly fee, which you can download and play at any time. Currently, Game Pass Ultimate includes games like:
Since September, the new season Shadow Legacy has been active. Here is the trailer for the new Operator Zero.
The Pass also works on PC and Xbox, making it a great deal for even more gamers. It is so appealing that MeinMMO author Jürgen Horn is even buying a console for the first time. And it will be an Xbox Series X.
What does the future hold? Since September, we know that EA Play will be included in the Game Pass starting November 10 with big titles like FIFA and Battlefield. Previously, the Game Pass was already a good deal where players could play many games for a low monthly fee.
The prayers in the co-op RPG Genshin Impact, that is, the random loot boxes, will be renewed on October 20. You will be able to use two new prayers that primarily increase the chance of obtaining the 5-star character Klee and two 5-star weapons.
Two of the three prayers are so-called action prayers, which have an increased drop rate for certain characters and weapons and are regularly updated. The third prayer “Wanderlust” offers no advantages but remains available indefinitely.
When will the prayers be updated? The current action prayers will cease their service on October 18, 2020, at 6:59 PM. The new prayers will then start on October 20, 2020, at 7:00 PM German time on the European servers.
How long do the prayers last? The prayers have a duration of about 3 weeks and end on November 9 at 6:59 PM.
Increased drop rate for Klee in the “Flaming Steps” prayer
One of the two new action prayers increases the chance for characters. However, don’t be misled, as weapons can also be included in this prayer.
This is the “Flaming Steps” prayer: This prayer puts the 5-star character Klee in the spotlight. A little girl with a penchant for massive explosions and the element of fire. Additionally, there are more characters with increased drop rates:
5-star character “Fleeing Sun” Klee (DPS, Fire)
4-star character “Noble Youth” Xingqiu (Support, Water)
4-star character “Bud of Chivalry” Noelle (DPS, Healer, Earth)
4-star character “Innocent and Sweet” Sucrose (Support, Wind)
This is the drop rate: The base probability of pulling a 5-star hero remains a meager 0.6%. The chance of Klee appearing is 50%. If you still pull another 5-star hero, the chance for Klee on the next lucky hit is 100%.
The 4-star characters appear with a base probability of 5.1%. If you pull a 4-star hero, the chance for one of the three action heroes is also 50% and on the 2nd attempt is 100%.
The best two-handed sword is in the “Divine Work” prayer
The second new prayer increases the drop rate for specific weapons. So, if you want to do something nice for your favorite hero, invest your fates here.
This is the “Divine Work” prayer: The focus here is on two 5-star weapons and five 4-star weapons. Including the strongest two-handed sword in the game. In this prayer, anything can be included, only the drop rate for the following items is increased:
5-star weapon Wolf’s Gravestone (Claymore)
5-star weapon Prayer of the Four Winds (Catalyst)
4-star weapon Sacrificial Sword (Sword)
4-star weapon Sacrificial Greatsword (Claymore)
4-star weapon Sacrificial Rituals (Catalyst)
4-star weapon Sacrificial Bow (Bow)
4-star weapon Dragonspine Spear (Polearm)
If you are lucky, you will receive the best weapons in the game.
This is the drop rate: The base probability of pulling a 5-star weapon is still only 0.7%. If you pull a legendary weapon, the chance for Wolf’s Gravestone or Prayer of the Four Winds is 75% higher than for the other 8 legendary weapons. If you still have bad luck and pull another 5-star weapon, you are guaranteed to get one of the action weapons the second time.
The base probability of the 4-star weapons is 6%, and here too the chance of getting one of the 5 action weapons on the first attempt is 75%. The second pull of a 4-star weapon is then a guaranteed action weapon if the first one didn’t work out.
If you want to use the current prayers, you have until the evening of October 18, specifically until 6:59 PM. Currently, the drop rate for Venti and Fischl is increased, two popular characters from the tier list as well as for a legendary bow and one-handed sword.

In Ultimate Team mode of FIFA 21, player prices on the transfer market are currently crashing. Many players are suddenly available for much fewer coins.
What is going on? Just a little over a week has passed since the official release of the game, currently the first Weekend League is underway – and already FIFA 21 has faced its first market crash. Currently, the prices of many cards on the transfer market are dropping sharply.
One example: Erling Haaland is one of the strongest players in the Bundesliga in FIFA 21 and has consistently cost between 100,000 and 120,000 coins in recent days. That’s quite expensive – but then suddenly a change in trend occurred.
Haaland’s price has been dropping for several days (via futbin)
Within a few days, Haaland’s price dropped to just around 58,000 coins – which is not a bargain, but still represents a huge loss in value all at once. Thus, a top player in the Bundesliga has suddenly become much easier to obtain.
Prices are going down sharply
However, Haaland is not an isolated case. Many players are suddenly experiencing significant price drops – across all budget ranges. Some examples:
Robert Lewandowski (91) dropped from over 200,000 to nearly 140,000
Leroy Sané (85) fell from 111,000 (Thursday) to around 80,000.
Forward Harry Kane (88) fell from 40,000 to 20,000.
Marcos Llorente (82), a popular CM from LaLiga, dropped from 20,000 to around 4,500.
The price decline is currently accelerating in many areas. Only absolute top players, such as Kylian Mbappé or Cristiano Ronaldo, who are significantly more expensive, seem to be unaffected by the crash at the moment.
Players are puzzled by market crash
This is how the community reacts: Overall, the sudden crash in market prices has been met with surprise. In the FIFA subreddit, discussions are ongoing about the reasons that might have led to the early crash. Two ideas, in particular, stand out:
On one hand, the abolished fitness cards are being mentioned. Some players had built secondary teams to avoid needing to buy fitness – that is gone this year. Instead, players have more coins for strong players – and mid-range players can be skipped (via reddit).
The placement matches in Division Rivals provided a lot of coins for many players. Receiving such a substantial number of coins at the start of the game is new for the FIFA series. This also made it possible to buy strong players early on. This could also have an impact on prices (via reddit).
Additionally, it is pointed out that there have already been promo packs for the OTW event, and rewards from SBCs and missions might have decreased the demand for players.
Some players believe that prices will rise again as soon as SBCs emerge that require highly rated players. Currently, however, it seems possible to snag a bargain on the transfer market. On the other hand, it may be that players purchased at high prices might not be sold for the same amount – or for a hoped-for profit.
The first major highlight at the 2020 World Championship of League of Legends was here. In the quarterfinals, the European top team Fnatic faced the tournament favorites Top Esports. The favorites from China won, but it was much closer than expected. Fnatic was even leading 2-0 before losing 2-3. But despite the performance, Rekkles from Fnatic is inconsolable. That’s just how LoL is, cruel.
This was the match: Fnatic were clear outsiders against Top Esports at the start. The Chinese team is currently one of the two outstanding teams of the LoL Worlds 2020, together with DAMWON Gaming:
The midlaner Knight (20) is considered the new super talent in LoL, having impressed at Worlds so far
His jungler Karsa (24) is regarded as world class, perhaps the best jungler currently
Botlaner JackeyLove (19) was world champion in 2018 and knows how it’s done. He is the type of “player from whom highlight reels circulate”
Fnatic, on the other hand, is considered a team that plays well against weak opponents and crushes them with a “snowball” by excelling in a strong early game and building small advantages until they overwhelm the opponent. But if that doesn’t work, Fnatic often has problems.
On paper, this was a clear matter for Top Esports. However, the series turned out completely differently.
The decisive team fight from Game 1:

In Game 1, Fnatic surprised their opponents by giving top laner Bwipo the champion Singed, who was able to turn the match decisively and earned 8 assists for his team. Singed actually plays hardly any role in the meta of LoL and is a quirky, unusual champ. The Chinese apparently couldn’t handle that.
In Game 2, the bot lane of Top Esports completely collapsed under the pressure from Rekkles (Ashe), Hylissang (Braum), and jungler Selfmade (Kindred). Fnatic was able to clearly win the game.
The support from Top Esports played Tahm Kench in Game 2 and didn’t manage to get a fin on the ground during the match. Of the 17 deaths of his team, 7 were on the account of the big fish.
The match went exactly as Fnatic wants to play: the bot lane was dominant, the early game worked. The snowball started rolling.
Fnatic in high spirits after Game 2 with corona fist bumps.
Games 3 and 4 were the hour of jungler Karsa, who proved his class:
He got 9 assists on Lee Sin in Game 3 while JackeyLove collected the kills on Ezreal.
In Game 4, Karsa then dominated himself. He played Nidalee and achieved impressive 10 kills. Now Fnatic seemed to be running out of ideas.
The Taiwanese Karsa is currently considered one of the best junglers in the world.
For those hoping for an epic comeback, the end was disappointing. Match 5 was a clear affair. Top Esports won after just 25 minutes. Nemesis and Rekkles left Fnatic without a single kill. The 3 stars of Top Esports, Karsa, Knight, and JackeyLove did not die a single time in Game 5.
There was little tension. A harsh end for a start that gave fans of European LoL so much hope.
Too often, viewers saw such scenes:

Thus, Top Esports executed a “reverse sweep”; after being down 2-0, they still won 3-2. Each victory was ultimately easier than the previous one. While Game 3 lasted 30 minutes, Match 5 was already over after 25 minutes: a clear topic.
“Things said just before a disaster”. She is now to blame for everything. She has cursed it:

So many were watching: The match was a major highlight of the LoL Worlds 2020. At its peak, 2.4 million people were watching. On average, the match had 970,000 viewers.
The previous record of the LoL Worlds 2020 came during the group stage, when Gen G faced LGD, two teams from Asia.
Fnatic fought bravely, but they lost.
“In the end, no one will really remember today”
This is what the losers say: Botlaner Rekkles seems inconsolable. Compliments are made to him for playing so well, but he said at the press conference:
“No one will really remember today. I don’t think it’s okay to lose just because of how we lost today.”
Rekkles
Some people from Fnatic played against Top Esports probably better than ever in their career, yet it was not enough against a star-studded team from China.
The last hope of Europe.
The LoL Worlds 2020 could soon be over for Europe and North America. The US teams have all been eliminated in the group stage. 2 teams from Europe made it as group runners-up to the quarterfinals. For Fnatic, the dream is already over, G2 Esports is currently playing against Gen G.
Online games often struggle with cheaters and hackers of all kinds, especially when played competitively against others. Some cheaters use programs, while others find alternative ways to cheat. We at MeinMMO have highlighted 6 cheaters who have cheated and were caught live.
This list includes 6 cheaters who brazenly cheated and were filmed doing so. However, this is not a witch hunt against these individuals, but rather to showcase the curious situations and brazen ways in which cheating occurred.
Moreover, cheaters are not always just “evil Russians,” but also the nice player next door who appears to be “perfectly normal” and even plays in professional tournaments.
forsaken – CS:GO
Who is it about? The CS:GO professional Nikhil “forsaken” Kumawat was part of the clan OpTic India. They participated in the eXTREMESLAND Asia tournament, where the incident occurred.
What happened? In the middle of a match, the tournament was unexpectedly paused and forsaken’s computer was examined. An aimbot was discovered, a program that automatically aims at opponents.
The player was subsequently disqualified from the tournament and later kicked out of the OpTic India team.
What was particularly curious? During the inspection of the PC, forsaken tried to access the keyboard and simply close the aimbot. He likely wanted to cover up his offense.
Curiously, this exact moment was captured by a camera.

Who is it about? The streamer “truegatter” began his career on Twitch in September by playing Call of Duty: Warzone.
What happened? In a 90-minute stream, truegatter eliminated quite a few enemies. In a solo round, he had a relaxed victory and racked up a total of 40 kills.
