In this framework, Team Rocket has also been changed. There are new Shadow Pokémon and the grunts present you with new challenges. Accordingly, there are also new Pokémon with the Rocket bosses Arlo, Cliff, and Sierra.
The new grunts in Pokémon GO
This is the overview: The colleagues from Pokébattler have created a comprehensive overview of all the grunts and bosses that you can currently battle:
For example, the grunt with Ice Pokémon is back. There you can now catch Shnebedeck. Additionally, you once again have the chance to obtain Shadow Relaxo.
What do the bosses have? The new Pokémon of the bosses have been known for a little longer. They all have a new first Pokémon that you can also catch afterwards:
Which grunts are worth it? None of the grunts still have Lapras with them. This is only available through Sierra. Therefore, there are no Shiny from the grunts anymore.
In terms of usability, the grunts with Machollo, Magnetilo, Elektek, Dratini, and Relaxo are useful. They or their evolutions are among the best attackers or are just incredibly rare to obtain.
How long will this last? The new Pokémon are likely to be a long-lasting change. Recently we could battle against the same Pokémon from the Rocket Stops for months.
Currently, you also have the chance to obtain Shadow Suicune from Giovanni. In our counter guide to Rocket Boss Giovanni, we show you how you can fight successfully.

With update 20 and season 1 in Fallout 76, not only has the legendary race been added, but Bethesda has also introduced mysterious radio signals into the game.
What’s happening: With update 20, the legendary race and thus season 1 have been released. The race itself, by the way, takes a lot of time and is hardly achievable. A message in the “Out of the Vault” article on Bethesda’s official Fallout 76 page about the update has left the community puzzled:
One last thing: Have you listened to the radio in your Pip-Boy lately? Apparently, a new transmission has infiltrated in the past few days, but we can only hear noise. Perhaps those with a higher perception can understand more and decipher this cryptic message for us.
When you log into Fallout 76, you will discover two new radio signals in your Pip-Boy, one of which is encrypted. If your perception skill is high enough, you can better understand the messages being transmitted. In total, there are 5 messages to decrypt.
The roadmap of Fallout 76 already reveals the arrival of the Brotherhood of Steel
This is the Brotherhood of Steel: The Brotherhood of Steel is a faction in the Fallout universe that was founded by United States military officer Roger Maxson after the Great War.
They are a religious, technological organization, almost like a knightly order, consisting of descendants from the military. Their goal is to recover and preserve any technology. As a result, the Brotherhood of Steel is one of the most technologically advanced groups in post-apocalyptic America.
Warning, we are entering spoiler territory!
This is what the messages say: Two new radio stations can be found in the Pip-Boy. The encrypted signal contains 5 messages, and the weak signal from the Brotherhood repeats one message.
This is what an encrypted message looks like in the Spectrograph
These are the 5 encrypted messages
Message 1: First Expedition Team, this is L-H with a recorded Priority Gamma message. Papa Romeo has missed the last four check-ins. No contact since crossing the Rocky Mountains. Writers estimate the unit’s position near Lincoln. The command is to restore communication with L-H as soon as possible and provide a full report on whereabouts and activities since the last contact. Confirmation on coded channel Two Three. L-H out. Message repeats.
Message 2: First Expedition Team, this is Lost Hills with a recorded message with Priority Alpha. No response to previous transmissions from Papa Romeo (Paladin Rahmani) or other unit members. Lost Hills now assumes the unit cannot respond. All surviving unit members are instructed to deviate immediately from the main mission. Confirm on coded channel One Eight. Lost Hills out. Message repeats.
Message 3: First Expedition Team, this is L-H with a recorded message Priority E1. Writers now estimate the unit’s position somewhere east of the Mississippi based on pre-departure schedules. No confirmation from Papa Romeo or other unit members. If a suitable transmission system cannot be secured, the First Expedition Team is hereby instructed to continue the original mission and establish communication from the target location. Confirmation on coded channel Four Seven. L-H out. Message repeats.
Message 4: This is Elder Roger Maxson speaking to Paladin Leila Rahmani over a secure private channel. I have sent the writers away. This message will not be recorded in the logs. I am not speaking to you now as your Elder or commanding officer, but as a friend. Leila, I know you and we have had our differences, but I still believe that you understand the value and purpose of the Brotherhood. You wanted this mission, yet I am sure you have doubts about why you were chosen. I still hope that you simply cannot respond to our transmissions. We may not see eye to eye, but you know the code and are sworn to it. The alternative… I don’t even want to imagine. For now, I have suppressed this proposal among the officials and kept it out of our other attempts to reach you, but if you do not respond soon, I may be overruled. Your mission out there is important, no matter what you think. You are still one of us. Still a Paladin of the Brotherhood. Transmission on any Brotherhood channel, encryption doesn’t matter – just respond. Maxson out. Message repeats.
Message 5: First Expedition Team, this is L-H. Elder Maxson’s recording: Paladin Rahmani, your unit has had no contact with the Brotherhood headquarters for over three months. Our writers estimate that your unit should soon enter Appalachia and approach the ATLAS Observatory. It is imperative that your first task after securing the facility is to restore communication and provide a full report of your activities during the period of radio silence. You now represent the Brotherhood in Appalachia. If you restore contact with us, there will once again be a Brotherhood on both sides of this land, and your actions will be forever written in the scrolls. Adhere to the code. Conduct yourself with honor. Maxson out. Message repeats.
What do the messages mean? The 5 messages indicate that the team led by Paladin Leila Rahmani has lost contact with base for months. They are on their way to Appalachia to take over the ATLAS Observatory as a base.
The second transmitter is not encrypted and plays a message from Rahmani. She announces the takeover of the observatory:
This is Paladin Rhamani of the Brotherhood of Steel speaking. I am transmitting this message to the people in Appalachia. We are on a long-term path to your region. We will take over the ATLAS Observatory as an operational base. Consider this a warning to anyone occupying the facility. It will belong to us. This matter is not up for negotiation. Know that we come in peace. We will offer the people of Appalachia help and protection.
Supplies for construction and repairs are to be delivered to the Atlas Observatory before our arrival. Your cooperation guarantees our ability to secure a better future for Appalachia. Be a part of this future. Help us.
This was Paladin Rhamani, First Expedition Team. The Brotherhood returns, see you soon. Rhamani out. Message repeats.
Paladin Leila Rhamani
What does this mean for the player? You can already see changes to the ATLAS Observatory. It is no longer accessible, and construction robots are roaming around.
In the Summer Update trailer for Fallout 76, you can see at minute 1:12 how the observatory will change:

With update 22 and the start of season 2 in September, you will receive a new quest line “Steel Dawn”, where you will deal with the Brotherhood of Steel.
However, how the story will unfold is still unknown. The connection to headquarters may have been interrupted by an accident, or Paladin Rhamani plans to betray the Brotherhood and establish her own branch.
In season 1, you can already complete 2 community events for the Brotherhood:
August 8 to August 17: Fortifying ATLAS: Community Project Alpha
August 29 to September 9: Fortifying ATLAS: Community Project Bravo
The timeline lists the planned events
It is suspected that you will need to gather resources for these events and deliver them at the ATLAS Observatory so that the construction of the base can progress. This will likely be exactly the help Paladin Leila Rhamani is asking from you in her message.
With the start of season 3 sometime in winter, the faction will have fully arrived in Appalachia and will bring new quests, NPCs, and companions.
Are you already looking forward to the events and the return of the Brotherhood of Steel? Or do you have a certain aversion to this knightly order that will stop at nothing to achieve its goals.

Valorant has caused quite a controversy with the crazy dragons from the “Elder Flame” set. Many fans celebrate the skins, others are upset about the high price, and yet others find the skins irritating. However, the developers can imagine much crazier designs. Possibly in a cyberpunk style.
Which skins are involved?It’s about the ultra skin package “Elder Flame”. This was released on July 10, 2020, in the game and transformed four of your weapons into wild, roaring, and fire-breathing dragons! Since these skins are quite the most elaborate and crazy that there has been in Valorant, they belong to the highest price category as “Ultra Skins”. The entire bundle costs 95 euros, and many players find that far too much.
But some players are also bothered by the design. Some feel that the animations and the wriggling of the creatures are disturbing. Others have a problem with the concept that you would “insert” a magazine into a living dragon, and the trigger would have to be located somewhere in the groin area of the creature.
For those who reject these concepts, the following news will not be pleasing. Because the developers apparently have many more outrageous ideas for skins!
Developers can imagine even crazier stuff – Is cyberpunk coming?
What do the developers say on the subject? In an interview with Polygon, the developers commented on the creation of the skins and their further ideas. They reported that the skins were quickly conceived as an idea, but that the implementation posed significant challenges.
One major challenge was the thick sniper rifle, the Operator. The creature has wings, and when you fiddle with them, it would indeed cover half the playing field. They were close to completely dropping the currently very popular weapon until they found a reasonable solution.
The Frenzy as a dragon.
In order for the weapons not to become an expensive option of “Pay2Lose” and pose disadvantages for the players, they had experienced players test the skins for hours in the top rankings until they had no concerns left.
Here’s how it might continue: In conclusion, the developers provided a small outlook on the future of the crazy skins in Valorant. Because those who found dragons totally crazy can look forward to even stranger ideas. The developers want to unleash their creativity in the event of success and good reception of the dragons.
However, they haven’t revealed exactly what they have in mind yet. But there are data miners for that…
This speaks for cyberpunk skins in a few weeks
What has been found out? The data miners from “Valorant Express” have dug through the game’s files. Deep in the data mines, they eventually found concrete hints of a package called “Cyberpunk”. This contains skins for the following weapons in the game:
The fully automatic shotgun Judge
The lightweight assault rifle Bulldog
The heavy machine gun Odin
The small automatic pistol Frenzy
A knife
If this leak turns out to be true, the Judge and Frenzy will get a new skin again, as both weapons were already included in the dragon edition.

How do the weapons look? There is still no information on that. The cyberpunk theme, however, addresses clear conventions. So look forward to crazy neon color effects, lots of chrome, and analog cables!
Will the cyberpunk skins be the next ultra bundle? There was no information gained from the dive into the data shaft regarding that either. However, if the skins are indeed ultra edition material, they are sure to overflow with effects and crazy designs.
This is how cyberpunk skins looked in Fortnite.
When could the weapons come? According to the data miners, the new skins should be released in about 2 weeks. That would be around July 24, 2020. But keep in mind that this is based on data mining rumors. In the end, there might not be any cyberpunk weapons at all.
In the smartphone hit Call of Duty: Mobile, there are a lot of news! Season 8 has started and brings you new maps, modes, and a Battle Pass.
What’s happening in CoD Mobile right now? The game has now entered Season 8, titled “The Forge”. This brings a lot of new things to discover.
We will show you all the new features in Season 8 and tell you if the game is worth it again with the adjustments.
All new features with Season 8 in CoD Mobile
What the new season brings: The list of adjustments is long and you can look forward to new things in almost every area:
The map Highrise from Modern Warfare 2 is coming as a multiplayer map to CoD Mobile
In Battle Royale, there is a new zone called “Safehouse”
The 5-on-1 mode “Juggernaut” is coming
A completely new Battle Pass rewards you with weapons, skins, and other items
Seasonal challenges
With Kantana, a new operator ability is coming
Numerous adjustments to the game and weapons for better balance
What is this new map? The map Highrise is known from Modern Warfare 2 and is a medium-sized map. It takes place on a large building that is currently under construction.
This is the new map in the game.
How does the new mode work? In the Juggernaut mode, it could become a real slaughter. One player dons an XS1 Goliath suit and moves like a giant robot across the map, searching for his 5 opponents.
The 5 opponents must play wisely together to defeat the powerful enemy.
What’s in the Battle Pass? The Battle Pass is full of new stuff for your rounds. At level 21, you can unlock the new weapon DR-H. This is an assault rifle.
Additionally, there are 4 new characters that you can play as, and you can even unlock a tank.

What else is there? Through a seasonal challenge, you can unlock the HBRa3. This is also an assault rifle that you can earn.
Is it worth getting into CoD Mobile? If you haven’t checked out CoD Mobile for a long time or ever, you can seize the opportunity now. The mobile game had a huge influx, especially at launch, and was more successful than Fortnite at that time.
You can play through a large part of the Battle Pass without spending money and even unlock a strong rifle. Additionally, there is the new map that may evoke old memories for you.
With Season 8, a lot has changed again in CoD Mobile, and it is time to discover everything. You can even experience this with a controller. In our guide, we explain how you can play CoD Mobile with a controller.

A profession will probably be dropped in World of Warcraft Shadowlands. At least Blizzard does not want to bring any new content for it.
In the upcoming WoW expansion, most professions will be important, as they can contribute to the creation of legendary equipment. However, a secondary profession may fall by the wayside. It seems like there will be no new content for archaeology.
What was said? In an interview with the French site Judgehype, Patrick Dawson from Blizzard briefly talked about archaeology. He mentioned that this profession primarily deals with the peoples living on Azeroth. Consequently, there will be no expansion of archaeology in the Shadowlands.
So those who hoped to unearth relics of the Kyrian or Venthyr will be left disappointed.
Has this happened before? In a similar form, yes. At the end of the “Legion” expansion, Blizzard already bid farewell to First Aid and largely divided the recipes among tailors and alchemists. However, such an end for archaeology is rather unlikely. It is likely that simply no new content will be produced for it anymore – at least not in Shadowlands.
The end of archaeology? At least nothing new is coming.
Cortyn says: Honestly, I find it a bit sad how archaeology has changed over the years. In Legion it was really cool – the profession had a purpose. You could complete a cool quest every two weeks and got a really nice reward. In Battle for Azeroth it was already significantly less, everything seemed much less caring and just a bothersome duty to continue the profession. I find it unfortunate that archaeology is now “on ice” – but it’s probably better than getting a second Battle for Azeroth in this profession.
For me, archaeology was always something simple that you could do nicely “on the side” to relax – similar to fishing. I find it a bit disappointing that this will be gone in Shadowlands.
But what is your opinion on this? Did you even use archaeology? Or will you not miss the profession?

The loot shooter Borderlands 3 offers players 4 different Vault Hunters, each with 3 skill trees. This could change soon. A leak has appeared on Reddit reporting new skill trees and action skills.
What is this leak about? Over on the Borderlands 3 Reddit, a post by the user DelusionPhantom has surfaced. He states that he is about 80% sure he found new skill trees and action skills for the Vault Hunters in Borderlands 3 through data mining.
With the help of two other users, Jaykobin and chancehugs, he was able to refine the data further. We at MeinMMO want to share this information with you and reveal what is known about the supposed new skill trees.
More versatility for your Vault Hunters
Not much is known yet about the individual skill trees and action skills. However, the data miners have already provided some names and the first content details.
This is new for FL4K: The new skill tree of the Beastmaster FL4K is said to be called “Gravity Trap,” just like the associated action skill. This roughly translates to “Gravity Trap.”
The exact effects of this attack are not yet clear. However, according to the leak, it is already confirmed that the associated pet will be a Loader Bot. Additionally, there is said to be a talent hidden in the new skill tree that allows FL4K to summon all his pets to the field.
The 4 Vault Hunters in Borderlands 3: FL4K, Moze, Amara, and Zane
This tree is for Moze: Moze’s new action skill and associated skill tree are said to be called “Iron Cub.” So like a little iron puppy.
It is reportedly not an extension of the existing bear, but a smaller version. It is supposed to function like a pet or toy.
This is changing for Zane: The Vault Hunter Zane will receive a Shoulder Cannon, basically a shoulder-mounted gun.
This is supposed to be a skill he can use once or with a few charges, similar to FL4K’s Rakk Attack. This could allow him to use his skills more versatile. For example, after an action skill and not only during.
This is how it looks for Amara: Very little is known about Amara’s new skill tree or action skill. Not even a name is mentioned. However, it seems to be something related to her Phasegrasp.
The Siren Amara is quite left out in the leak
What is true about this leak remains to be seen. We are definitely excited to see if there will be new skill trees and action skills in Borderlands 3 soon.
This would open up many new builds and possibilities. Until then, you might want to choose a new weapon from our list of all legendary weapons and try out a new playstyle.

In the League of Legends , the new champion Lillia will be arriving soon. Players can earn an item “Lillia’s Haiku” on the test server PBE. It is assumed that this item will grant the champion Lillia for free upon the release of patch 10.15 on July 22nd. We will tell you how to obtain this item.
This is the item in question: On June 30th, the item “Lillia’s Haiku” was discovered in the data of the test server. The item description states: “You discovered Lillia in the forest. Openable on July 22, 2020 at 9 PM.”
A new loot item is now on the PBE: Lillia’s Haiku “You discovered Lillia in the forest. Openable on July 22nd, 2020 at 12:00 p.m PT.” pic.twitter.com/0XndwkX4Ay
Now, LoL players believe: Those who earn Lillia’s Haiku can unlock the champion for free on July 22nd at 9 PM, thus saving the 7,800 Blue Essences or the Riot Points that one would otherwise spend on the champion, which means saving real money.
A new champion in LoL normally costs 975 Riot Points, which is about €7, depending on the packages purchased.
Is this safe? It is not 100% safe and officially announced by Riot Games, but there is hardly any doubt that “Lillia’s Haiku” will unlock the champion Lillia. Everything currently points in that direction. If it weren’t so, Riot Games would be somewhat trolling.
This is the new jungler Lillia.
The role of Jungler is now in demand on the test server
This is how you get Lillia’s Haiku: To obtain the item, you must achieve “350 takedowns as a jungler.” These are “assists or kills” while clearly claiming the role of jungler in a matchmaking game:
You must join the test server PBE
then create matchmade games in Summoner’s Rift and select the role “Jungler”. It doesn’t matter whether you play Normal, Ranked, or Bot. However, ARAM does not work
Play until you have 350 assists or kills.
Presumably, you can complete the task until Lillia officially appears on July 22nd with patch 10.15.
Is this safe? This has been speculated for a long time. Because officially, nothing is certain about this topic. Players had to discover the method to obtain Lillia’s Haiku through “trial and error”.
But since this morning at 4 AM, it seems that this method of gathering 350 takedowns as a jungler has proven effective. Previously, it was suspected that obtaining the item had something to do with “Thresh” or mysterious voice lines.
But it seems to be as “mechanical” as some report on reddit (via reddit). These players were then able to obtain the item in-game.
LoL players get the new champion Lillia for free in bot games
This is how players do it in practice: As can be read on reddit, friends arrange to play against the easiest bots and then ensure that the jungler gets the maximum assists and kills per round.
Then they take turns playing as jungler.
The next champion should be coming soon as well.
We have talked a lot about Lillia in the last few days, but it looks like the next champion is also coming to League of Legends soon. The 150th champion Yone has a special backstory. Because unlike Lillia, he appeared earlier in League of Legends and was actually already dead:
An LMG is currently gaining quite a few new followers in Call of Duty: Warzone. The big YouTuber “Vikkstar123” is one of them and recently showcased a setup that nearly broke his kill record with 33 kills.
What weapon are we talking about? This is all about the “Season 3” weapon Bruen Mk9. The light machine gun (LMG) is similar to the American machine gun “M294 LMG”, a modified version of the “FN Minimi” from the Belgian defense contractor “Fabrique National Herstal”.
Here you can find the strong setup of a well-known Warzone YouTuber with meaningful gameplay and more information about the LMG that you definitely should try out.
Stable Bruen Mk9 Setup for Warzone
This setup is recommended by the big YouTuber “Vikkstar123” who brings a lot of content for Warzone on his channel and usually presents the setup used in his gameplay recordings.
Here you can find his English video where he collects a total of 100 kills with a 4-man squad in the “BR 200” mode, contributing 33 kills himself. He was just short of his record of 35 kills. Most kills are made with the Bruen Mk9 at medium to long distances, showcasing the impressive performance that the weapon delivers in Warzone:

How does the Bruen Mk9 play? With this setup, you get an assault rifle-like LMG that proves to be very stable. The long barrel and optic help you achieve accurate hits, even at long distances. The Monolithic Suppressor increases the range further, and when you shoot with the weapon, the enemy does not get a notification on their mini-map.
The crucial attachment is the 60-Round Magazine. This allows you to move noticeably faster and increases your ADS speed. Together with the “Tactical Laser”, the Bruen becomes an AR-LMG hybrid that plays very similarly to the Grau 5.56 but offers more damage. However, the time to aim down sights is higher.
Bruen Mk9 Rises to the Top of Warzone Weapons
Why is this so strong in Warzone now? The Grau 5.56 is still performing very well after the nerf with the biggest weapon update in MW since release. However, it is no longer the overpowered weapon it used to be.
Many players are therefore trying once again alternatives to the Grau 5.56 and opting for weapons that deliver very similar performance but possibly align better with their playstyle. The Bruen is one of these alternatives, as it is quite stable to play, offers a better time-to-kill (TTK), but takes a bit longer to aim down sights.
Here is the damage comparison of the two strong weapons, with typical Warzone setups:
Left: TTK without time to aim down sights / Right: TTK with time to aim down sights Source: codgundata
Even if you factor in the time to aim down sights, the Bruen remains ahead from about 50 meters and outperforms the former God-tier weapon Grau 5.56. So, if you are currently looking for a valid replacement for the Grau or just want to try something new, grab the Bruen and clear some space in Verdansk. The LMG is currently one of the best weapons in the Battle Royale, like the semi-automatic weapon FAL, which offers fantastic TTK.

In Pokémon GO, Jessie and James from Team Rocket are now available. You must defeat both grunts for a chance at Crypto-Shinies. We will show you how to defeat Team Rocket here.
How do you get Jessie and James?The two grunts are on their Meowth balloon. When you see this balloon floating over your map, you can interact with it to challenge Jessie and James.
Both grunts use different Pokémon, and if you have the wrong team, you can definitely lose. To prevent that from happening, we will show you the best counters against Jessie and James.
How to defeat Jessie – The best counters
Which Pokémon does Jessie use? If you press on the balloon, you will first fight against Jessie. She uses the following 3 Pokémon:
Ekans
Scyther
Hatchling
In the end, you might encounter an Ekans. If you’re lucky, it could even be shiny.
The Crypto version of Ekans as shiny.
How do you defeat Jessie? You have many Pokémon to choose from. A good choice is, for instance, a strong ice-type Pokémon like Mamoswine. This way, you can deal with Ekans first and then effectively hit Scyther and Hatchling with charge attacks.
Rock-type Pokémon like Rhyperior or Tyranitar are also a good choice.
Is the battle difficult? It’s really not that challenging. As long as you have strong Pokémon in your team and are not completely ineffective against the 3 monsters, it should be no problem.
How to defeat James – The best counters
Which Pokémon does James use? After you defeat Jessie, James is waiting for you. He also has 3 solid Pokémon:
Magnemite
Sneasel
Tan growth
After a victory, you are guaranteed to receive a Crypto-Magnemite. This can also be shiny with some luck.
Crypto-Magnemite can be shiny.
How to defeat James? A good option here is Lucario. With its fast charge attack Power-Up Punch, it can deal a lot of damage and is even four times effective against Sneasel.
An alternative could be ground-type Pokémon, like Rhyperior. This method will also work nicely against James.
Is the battle difficult? Sneasel might give you some trouble, but if you have a good counter against it, it should not be a problem. Just use a strong Pokémon that is effective, and you will be successful.
How do I defeat the Rocket bosses? The 3 Rocket bosses Cliff, Arlo, and Sierra are significantly more difficult to beat. Accordingly, we have prepared a big guide for you that shows how to defeat the 3 bosses.

On the ninth day of the GSA League in Rainbow Six Siege, one of the previously struggling professional teams finally secured a strong victory. In the interview, one of the professionals explained how they achieved the win – and how it works for pretty much every round.
Who are the professionals? Rogue is one of the teams of the GSA League that are already playing in the Pro League of Rainbow Six Siege. They recently won the Pro League Season 11 in Europe and are currently competing in both the GSA and the EU League.
Yesterday, on July 9, they faced the newcomer FACT Gaming for the second time in the second half. In their first encounter a few weeks ago, FACT crushed Rogue with a remarkable comeback.
FACT’s motto back then was: “Guys, don’t worry, we’ll just push them aside.” This time, however, it clearly did not work, as Rogue won the match with a strong 7:2. In the subsequent interview, the German Rogue player Lukas “korey” Zwingmann reveals how they managed to do it.
Rogue reveals the trick to victory
This is how the match unfolded: The encounter started quite evenly, even favoring FACT Gaming, who took the lead twice. As korey later explains, this is because Rogue intentionally played more aggressively at the beginning to intimidate the newcomers – which did not work.
Rogue had to quickly adjust their tactics and managed to catch up with both of FACT’s leads in the next round. Instead of being aggressive against their opponents, Rogue responded dynamically and played more safely instead of offensively.
The tactic seems to work well, as the professionals commit no more mistakes from here on and win all rounds. Starting from round 4, the victory march begins until the final score of 7:2 for Rogue.
How exactly did Rogue win? korey talks in the interview after the match about the mistake FACT made: They did not utilize their successes. More specifically, with the area they had taken.
Whenever FACT managed to secure an area, they either did not expand from there or were surprised by Rogue.
The professionals played in such a way that they either simply waited (as defenders) because FACT had not applied enough pressure, or by cutting through the opposing team to flank the remaining operators or defuse the bomb.
Therefore, FACT’s biggest problem was that they did not capitalize on their potential and strong situations.
How can I use these tips? korey’s statements can almost universally be applied to every match in Rainbow Six. What he means by taking space is that you should secure certain areas on the maps.
This applies both as attackers and defenders. Coordinate with your team to secure and hold specific entrances and rooms, so you can rely on not encountering enemies from the corresponding directions.
React to what the opponent is doing. If they try to undermine the positions you’ve occupied, instead bolster the areas they will now approach from. Reconnaissance using drones, cameras, and gadgets, as well as good communication and teamwork, are key.
This basic tactic is the key to victory in any round. It only becomes problematic when the opponent knows this too – then it depends on who can better secure their area and act from there.
This is how the match day went: You can certainly learn the most from Rogue’s game against FACT. However, all matches of the ninth match day were quite clear victories – stronger than on any previous match day:
DIVIZON 7:0 mYinsanity
Rogue 7:2 FACT Gaming
WarKidz 2:7 Team Secret
Turtle eSport 1:7 G2 Esports
All professional teams showed on this day why they are professionals. This could partly be due to the fact that they now have to prepare for the EU League matches simultaneously and are therefore generally training harder.

Flying in Shadowlands is already an important topic among WoW players. An important detail should bring joy.
In the first months of an expansion, players of World of Warcraft are forced to explore the new areas on foot or with a ground mount. Clearly, the developers want players to “experience” and explore the world properly once. However, later the heroes can unlock flying to soar through the skies and travel faster from point A to point B. This flight unlocking has previously been quite cumbersome – in the next expansion Shadowlands, that should change.
This is how unlocking flying has been so far: Those wanting to fly in Battle for Azeroth, Legion, or Warlords of Draenor had to complete a significant amount of tasks. Typically, this involved a long “Pathfinder” achievement that often stretched over several weeks. It was necessary to gain reputation with a variety of factions, complete over a hundred world quests, and usually uncover all areas.
Farming with the reputation factions should be eliminated in Shadowlands – at least for flying.
Especially the reputation grinding made it difficult for latecomers. While regular players tended to complete this requirement “on the side” in the first weeks, latecomers had to focus heavily on it and often had to play content that was no longer relevant.
How do you unlock flying in the Shadowlands? In an interview with the colleagues from Buffed, Executive Producer John Hight explained how the unlocking of flying in Shadowlands will work.
It will no longer be necessary to reach a specific rank with reputation factions. The lengthy farming of world and emissary quests should be a thing of the past.
Instead, flying should be unlocked through the Covenant campaign. Once a certain point is reached, flying will be unlocked for the account.
During the Covenant campaign, you will also learn to fly.
This also has the advantage that latecomers will inevitably unlock flying. After all, playing through the Covenant campaign (at least once) is clearly intended and is a core part of the endgame.
Can you fly right at launch? No, that will not be possible. As usual, flying will only be unlocked in a later patch. Since the Covenant campaigns will also be expanded in upcoming updates (such as Patch 9.1 and Patch 9.2), the unlocking will likely be included there. It will take a few months before we can return to our flying mounts in the Shadowlands.
Do you think it’s good that flying will be unlocked through a questline this time? Or did you prefer the old system with reputation?

In England, a FIFA player invested all his savings into packs for FIFA 20 Ultimate Team. Now the debate about loot boxes is back in the headlines of the British press.
The topic of loot boxes keeps coming up, especially in relation to FIFA. Players often get lost in the gambling-like mechanics. EA itself once described the loot boxes as a “fairly ethical surprise mechanic.”
Now the issue is flaring up again in Great Britain after the BBC reported on the case of a 21-year-old FIFA player.
This incident involves FIFA 20: The Englishman Jonathan Peniket invested the savings that his parents and grandparents had put aside for his future into FIFA packs. According to his own statement, he was looking for a distraction during a difficult time and became addicted to “the slightest chance at top cards.”
His first credit card worsened the problem in FIFA
How did it come to this? In an interview with the BBC (via BBC), Jonathan explains that he was looking for a distraction during a hard time in his personal life. In 2017, his mother was diagnosed with cancer, and he didn’t know what his life would look like after graduating from school. So he immersed himself in FIFA and started investing money into packs. The excitement and thrill were his escape from the problems, Jonathan recounts.
At first, it was only small amounts he financed with FIFA vouchers. But when Jonathan turned 17, his buying behavior changed: “When I turned 17, I got my first credit card and suddenly the decision to spend money was made in seconds. After all, it was now just a few clicks away, without needing to buy vouchers and worrying about my parents discovering it.”
These were the chances at the beginning of FIFA 20 with a “Premium Gold Pack”.
And he did, even though Jonathan knew how his chances for top cards stood: “I understood that the chances of getting my favorite players were slim.”
But Jonathan couldn’t stop: “I started spending 30 pounds (33.50€) a day, then 40, and then 50. When my credit card blocked my transactions, I would throw in 80 pounds (89.30€) into the game 4 or 5 times each night.”
In the end, Jonathan spent 2,700 pounds (3,015 euros) on FIFA packs—money that his parents and grandparents had saved for his education.
This is how loot boxes work in FIFA: In FIFA, there is a unique currency called FIFA Points that can only be purchased with real money. This allows players to buy various packs where strong players can appear with different probabilities. However, the chance of actually getting top players is often very low (usually under 1%).
Although packs can also be bought with earned FIFA coins, the prices for card packs are quite high, and it’s generally more worthwhile to buy desired players on the FUT transfer market with the coins.
The topic of loot boxes is now under scrutiny in Great Britain
Here is the current status: Right now in Great Britain, the situation is similar to many other European countries. Loot boxes in video games are not recognized as gambling here, justifying that there is no possibility of cash payout.
However, the BBC report about Jonathan, along with a petition that has gathered 45,000 signatures, now calls for loot boxes to be classified as gambling. This has prompted a response from the British government.
In it, it states (via Eurogamer) that the government is willing to take measures to ensure that users, especially young people, are protected. However, the situation must first be reassessed.
This is what EA Sports says: In response to a current inquiry from the BBC, Electronic Arts did not comment. However, in previous statements, EA denied any comparisons with gambling. The game is also completely playable without spending real money.
Additionally, the developer stated that player welfare is important and is prioritized in all games, including FIFA. As such, there are options for all games to restrict spending through parental controls.
Riot Games is currently being scrutinized as well, as they charge a whopping 95 euros for 6 new items (including 4 skins) in Valorant. Our author Jürgen Horn has listed the pros and cons here and explains why the high price can even be justified in some cases.

The next part of Far Cry has been leaked! Far Cry 6 is said to be released in February 2021 and even have a multiplayer mode. We will give you the information.
What has been leaked? Images and information about the new game by Ubisoft suddenly appeared in the Japanese PSN store. A lot has been revealed, such as:
The setting
The antagonist
Your mission
The release date
So far, these are still unconfirmed information. You should view them with a degree of skepticism.
This is how the cover of Far Cry 6 is supposed to look.
Far Cry 6 with Multiplayer in South America
Where is Far Cry 6 supposed to take place? This part is supposed to take place in the state of Yara. This is said to be located in Central or South America. Many fans draw a connection to the state of Cuba.
You will move through dense jungle and through the capital Esperanza. Additionally, there are also paradise-like beaches that perfectly create the Caribbean flair.
What is it about? You will fight as a guerrilla fighter named Dani Rojas. You want to free your homeland Yara from the brutal regime.
Who is your opponent? Of course, you will fight against the dictator Anton Castillo, but this villain is also known outside the Far Cry world.
There is a little surprise here. Giancarlo Esposito plays the brutal dictator. You might know him from Breaking Bad, as he played the drug lord Gustavo Fring there. A few days ago, a leak surfaced that revealed the actor as the villain in Far Cry 6. (via GameStar)
When is Far Cry supposed to be released? According to the leak, Far Cry 6 is supposed to be released on February 18, 2021. We won’t have to wait long.
Will there be a multiplayer? It is to be expected. The leak from the PS store includes the statement “Online multiplayer games require a paid service from PlayStation Plus.”
On the left side of the image, you can see the statements that PlayStation Plus is required. Source: Resetera
You will probably be able to play online with your friends, but at least on PlayStation, you will need a Plus membership.
One could assume that they will implement the co-op mode again, which we already know from Far Cry 5. However, in that game, the second player only took a supporting role. You could not complete the game together; instead, only the progress of the first player was acknowledged.

The 21st Season of Diablo 3 has been running for a few days now. By now, it has become clear which class might be the strongest. MeinMMO takes a look at the current solo rankings.
Since Friday, July 3, the 21st Season of Diablo 3 has been underway with a cool, albeit annoying season theme. For a week now, the best players have been battling it out for a top spot on the current leaderboard.
MeinMMO is taking a look at the current leaderboard and comparing the performance of all classes to find out which ones are the strongest (as of: July 10 at 1:37 PM).
The leaderboard is topped by Demon Hunters in Season 21 – which should please many of you, because Demon Hunters are your favorite class this season. Overall, the distribution is quite balanced. Only Wizards are lagging behind a bit.
The current leaderboard of Season 21 in Diablo 3
What exactly are we looking at? For our comparison, we are looking at the European solo leaderboard in Diablo 3. This only concerns the softcore mode. Hardcore is not included in the comparison.
What builds are being played? To give you an idea of which class is currently being played in which way, we have listed for you the strongest EU players with their respective builds and current records:
What makes Demon Hunters so strong? With a full 7 levels difference to the second place, the Demon Hunter is clearly ahead. This is mainly due to its new, powerful season set, the “Gear of War”. Because of this, one of the weakest classes has suddenly become the best.
The set builds on primary skills and increases their damage by a whopping 10,000%. You can find more about the new set in our preview of the season, where we have already explained it in detail.
Think you can do better? If you also want to jump into the rankings, you can quickly reach level 70 with our level guide for season 21. From there, nothing stands in your way to challenge the current champions.
Kongregate is an online platform where thousands of Flash games can be played. However, it seems that will come to an end by the end of 2020, as support for Adobe Flash will be discontinued.
What is Kongregate? Kongregate is a gaming portal where developers have been able to release their games developed with Adobe Flash since 2006. This means players could open the site, choose a title, and start playing immediately.
Over the years, the site received over 128,000 game submissions spanning all possible genres: from classic puzzle games to shooters and a variety of multiplayer games. Examples include Realm of the Mad God and Bit Heroes.
However, Adobe Flash, which underlies a large portion of Kongregate’s games, will no longer be supported after December 31, 2020. Its place will be taken by HTML 5, which makes the use of Flash obsolete.
On the front page of Kongregate, you can find thousands of games, including popular titles like Clicker Heroes and My Friend Pedro
Support for Kongregate will be massively curtailed
What will happen to Kongregate? Since Flash games are at the core of Kongregate, the discontinuation of support will also have consequences for the site. In an announcement to the community, the management of Kongregate presented several measures that will be implemented in the near future:
Submission of new games will no longer be possible starting from July 1.
The existing games will not receive new badges that players can normally earn by mastering achievements.
With the exception of 20 chat rooms for specific games, all chat rooms will be shut down.
Non-gaming-related forums will be removed, and the majority of the remaining forums will be reduced to “read-only” status.
The majority of the social and community features of Kongregate will thus disappear. This is one of the consequences of the general withdrawal of resources for support on the site.
However, players will still be able to play the existing games on the site. And developers will still be able to provide updates for their games. How long this will be the case is, however, unclear.
What does the community say? For the community that has formed over almost 15 years on Kongregate, the news did not come as a surprise. As early as early 2019, after the announcement of the discontinuation of Flash support, the first threads with questions about the future of the site appeared.
Still, the forum post from management elicited mixed feelings. On one hand, players expressed their gratitude in a long thread for the good times on Kongregate and the fun of playing.
Thank you to the Kongregate team. It is sad to see an era come to an end. I have spent 9 years on this site and had many hours of harmless casual fun. I will miss you.
On the other hand, there were also disappointed voices. Especially the removal of most of the site’s social features was met with bitterness by some users. A former moderator of Kongregate wrote a lengthy post on the subject. He stated that the site and the community would never have grown so large without the social features, condemning the management’s approach:
If anyone thinks that this brand [Kongregate] will survive even a second without its community, they are completely wrong.
What does the future hold? In the message to the community, the management of Kongregate remained very vague about the distant future of the site. The forum post states:
As you know, our business is currently heavily focused on game development and Flash is slowly disappearing from the scene. This means that Kongregate.com must also continue to evolve.
However, how exactly this development will look is unclear. Some users from the Kongregate community speculate in the forums that this could mean a transition to HTML 5. Others suspect that Kongregate wants to put more emphasis on mobile gaming.
In Pokémon GO the update 0.181.0 has appeared. Data miners have already investigated it and found exciting details about the GO Fest, Galar Pokémon, and a new loading screen.
This has emerged: The update 0.181.0 has been explored by the data miners from PokéMiners and revealed some exciting details. One of the highlights is likely to be a new loading screen that could come soon.
We show you the highlights of the update and what is likely to come to Pokémon GO soon.
The highlights of update 0.181.0
This is the loading screen: The data miners found a summery loading screen in the update:
Can you recognize all Pokémon?
In the picture, you can see several gardens where Pokémon are wandering around. No new Pokémon are visible, but the setting is somewhat reminiscent of the images from the GO Fest. There you can also see houses and gardens. This could possibly be a hint at the monsters we might see at the GO Fest.
The following Pokémon can be seen:
Washakwil
Schneckmag
Morlord
Wailmer
Knuddeluff
Chaneira
Tannza
Meganie
Castellith
Latias
Latios
This is what was found about Galar Pokémon: The data miners found 7 new Galar Pokémon in the code. These Pokémon could therefore come to the game soon. So far, only part of the Galar forms is available.
The following 7 Galar forms were discovered:
Ponita
Gallopa
Pantimos
Corasonn
Makabaja
Flegmon
Lahmus
More Galar Pokémon could be coming soon.
This is what was found about the GO Fest: The big GO Fest this year will take place in July and Niantic has once again brought many new features to the game.
A new badge has been found for the GO Fest, which all participants will likely receive.
Additionally, a hub for the GO Fest Challenge has been found. There, the tasks for each trainer should be listed to provide a better overview.
Appropriately, a hub has also been found that is limited to a city. This could be intended for local leaderboards. However, there may also be another idea from Niantic behind it.
What to keep in mind: So far, these are only leaks and not official information from Niantic. Just because this data is embedded in the update doesn’t mean it will necessarily come directly into the game.
The Galar Pokémon might take some time to arrive. The first forms of these Pokémon were also in the code for a long time before they actually appeared.
However, you can count on the current Rocket event. You can catch special Pokémon related to Team Rocket until next week. Additional bonuses round off the event and provide more incentive for you.

Once again, a single player seems to have forced Blizzard into action. Because of him, all WoW players now have to live with a new debuff.
The Corruption system of World of Warcraft is generally not very popular among players, but it allows for some fun moments with absurd numbers. Blizzard seems to have recognized this and is introducing a new negative effect. Those with too much Corruption on their items will inevitably die within seconds.
What has been done? Blizzard has announced in a small hotfix the implementation of an additional negative Corruption effect. The negative Corruption effects are essentially limitations to prevent players from accumulating too much Corruption. This can lead to slow effects, as well as ghostly copies that deal damage to the player. The most recent debuff, “Inevitable Doom,” increases the damage taken by the player and decreases the healing received. But now a new effect has been added.
What does the new debuff do? The new debuff is called “Inescapable Consequences.” It activates as soon as a player accumulates more than 200 Corruption. If that is the case, the player suffers 25% of their health points as damage per second, as long as they are in combat.
In plain terms, this means that most characters with more than 200 Corruption will be dead after 4 seconds in combat.
The new debuff should ensure that this tactic is no longer as successful. However, with immunities like Divine Shield, he might still be able to hold on for a few seconds.
The debuff should primarily discourage other players from also aiming for a Corruption level beyond 200 in order to be particularly successful in PvP. Because that is now practically no longer possible.
With this, the Paladin Rextroy has managed once again to get Blizzard to make a change that should ultimately make the game fairer for everyone. Such a change was especially necessary in PvP to make the arena a bit fairer again.
Do you think the change is good and sensible? Or should Blizzard have left out this debuff and let us all have “fun with Corruption”?

In Valorant the developers recently introduced a package with extremely elaborate skins – the “Elder Flame Ultra Edition.” These turn your weapons into living dragons and cost a lot of money. Since then, there has been a controversial debate within the community about the legality of such prices. MeinMMO author Jürgen Horn struggles between frugality and the desire for cool loot.
Which skins are we talking about? Recently, Riot Games unveiled a truly epic skin bundle. It is called “Elder Flame” and it transforms four weapons – Judge, Operator, Vandal and Frenzy into bizarre, living dragon monsters. They move, make sounds, and voraciously consume ammo packs. This excites some fans, while others are downright disturbed by the animations.
However, the price has left most fans aghast. Because the Elder Flame package costs around 95 euros and that seems way too much for many players. Although it is assumed that individual items will also be available separately, that has not been confirmed yet.
Here at MeinMMO, readers and authors largely express disbelief over the price: Most of you do not want to spend so much money on virtual items.
15 Döner … or the skins?
This is how I feel about the topic: For me, Jürgen Horn – author and skin fashion expert at MeinMMO, the skins evoke mixed feelings. Because of course, 95 euros is a lot of money, with which I could easily buy 15 good Döner. But then these are just totally awesome dragon skins that eat ammo and breathe fire!
I somehow really need to have them. Because in the end, it’s really neither particularly overpriced nor bad that these skins exist.

This is why the skins are not that expensive: The whole package is quite a hefty sum at around 95 euros. It is also hard for me to justify spending so much money. However, I can convince myself.
Keep in mind that it is a bundle. It consists of four skins as well as a new knife skin and the option for new finishing animations. So you get a total of 6 items. And even if you only count the four weapons, they would still cost around 23 euros each.
There are legendary skins in Fortnite that cost almost as much and look less cool. And even in other games with cash shops, prices of 20 to 30 euros for mounts or pets are not uncommon.
So it’s not as if Riot crossed an invisible line with their prices.
Skins for 20 euros have already existed in other games.
These arguments are presented against the skins: I have mostly read two arguments that are supposed to speak against the skins – aside from the high price.
Other players were outraged that these expensive skins would tempt kids and teenagers to steal their parents’ credit cards to buy skins. This could then lead entire families into financial trouble.
Of course, it is terrible if the young ones steal money to buy expensive things. But is it really the fault of the game or the developers who offer such an offer?
Valorant is rated for ages 16 and up. If you have not taught your children at that age that they should not infringe on their parents’ property, in my opinion, you have failed in your parental duties.
Another argument against the skins is often that the hustle and bustle of the dragons is supposed to be distracting from the game. That may certainly be true at first, but in the end, the dragons do not distract from the game more than colorful effects and the use of skills do.
Only for professionals who play in high-stakes tournaments are FPS essential, and therefore the dragon skins should not show up much there.
This is how I justify the purchase: Finally, I am still bothered by the point that many players want to play a free-to-play game like Valorant, but hardly want to spend any money. Moreover, there is still complaining when skins are expensive.
Let’s be honest, no one is forcing you to buy anything in the game. There are no gameplay-relevant things in Valorant that you must buy. Even the basic Battle Pass is available for free.
Valorant offers hours of fun and does not cost a cent for that.
Nevertheless, the (further) development of a game like Valorant costs a lot of money, and a large team must be paid to constantly deliver new content. Which is also free. I think it is completely okay for every player who regularly plays Valorant to invest a few euros into the game. And if it’s the Battle Pass for 10 euros, which contains a ton of skins and knick-knacks.
If you really love Valorant and find the skin beautiful, you can actually invest 95 euros with a clear conscience. Because that corresponds to the purchase price of a typical AAA game, including the season pass. That’s quite fair, right?
And if you won’t spend any money in a free-to-play game, you don’t have to – I have no problem with that. But then please don’t look down on those who really like and want such skins.
Conclusion: I’m still wavering between a skin and the package
I love skins and other stuff and spend more money a year on virtual clothes and mounts than I invest in real clothes or my car. Therefore, the dragon skins obviously have an open door with me. I saw them first and immediately thought, “How awesome, I have to have that.”
The high price is – as explained above – relative. The whole bundle offers enough to justify 95 euros. Moreover, I want to stand out in the game and show off. And what better way to stand out than to use a wriggling dragon as a weapon? Therefore, I will at least buy one skin from the bundle, if not the whole package once it is available. Who knows when such a deal will come again.
Who wants to know how I as an initial Valorant skeptic ended up loving the game should read this article of mine on MeinMMO. Have fun! And if you have a different opinion on the topic of skins or do not share my arguments, feel free to write it in the comments. But please remain polite!

In Destiny 2, the summer event Solstice of Heroes is starting soon. Players can earn special armors that are among the most sought after in the game. First images and information about this year’s event have now been found.
What kind of armors are they? In Destiny 2, players cannot complain about unique weapons, especially the new exotic stands out visually and through its unique gameplay. Soon, however, there will also be new armors for the Guardians that are real eye-catchers.
The aforementioned armors are linked to tough challenges, and anyone who wants to adorn their character with them will be busy with it for half the summer. The treasures from the summer event Solstice of Heroes can be earned.
This year, Guardians will be sporting breaks and cracks. It seems like the energy of the Guardians breaks through their battered armor:
Energy flows from the cracks of the Solstice armor – Source: Ginsor on Twitter
Solstice of Heroes 2020 in Destiny 2
Where does the information come from? The information that we rely on in this article comes from the data miner Ginsor. Over the years, he has built a reputation as a reliable source and most recently correctly predicted Exo-weapons of Season 11.
Meanwhile, there are also numerous confirmations of Ginsor’s findings in known databases like light.gg.
However, keep in mind that this information is not officially from Bungie and is therefore not set in stone.
This is what we know about the summer event: A look at the Season 11 roadmap shows that the Solstice of Heroes will take place this year from August 11 to September 8. This event coincides with the festivities that have already begun, the Triumph Moments 2020.
Once again, the Guardians will be taken to the European aerial zone. This special area is only active during the summer event and gained popularity last year with its hidden chests, mini-bosses, and the “torn” aesthetics – Some Guardians wished that the area would remain permanently.
From ugly duckling to beautiful swan – This is what the upgrade process looked like in the past
This is how you earn and level your armors: It seems that you will once again start with a broken base version of the Solstice armor. Throughout the event, the armor will be upgraded and repaired in multiple stages.
This upgrade process requires not only excursions into the aerial zone but also numerous activities from all of Destiny 2. With each armor level, the tasks will become more difficult, but your armor will also become fancier.
Some of this year’s challenges – Source: Ginsor
This is why the armors caused criticism: To earn the fully upgraded armor, players need to invest an enormous amount of time. Unfortunately, the armors quickly became irrelevant in terms of levels.
You can also once again obtain the so-called Armor Glows for the Solstice armor in the Eververse. If you have saved up diligently, you should also be able to do this with in-game currency.
