Streamer Tyler “Ninja” Blevins has become a star with Fortnite . However, since his switch from Twitch to Mixer, he has had significantly fewer viewers. But that is misleading, as he claims. Things are still going great for him.
This is often teased about Ninja: Streamer Tyler “Ninja” Blevins was the standout personality on Twitch in 2018. He became a gaming star who was invited to talk shows and even appeared on the cover of sports magazines during the hype surrounding Fortnite. No gamer had achieved that before him.
Since his switch in August 2019 from Twitch to competitor Mixer, Ninja’s viewer numbers during live streams have significantly decreased:
In 2018, Ninja had an average of 77,719 viewers on Twitch, with an incredible 617,767 at peak during the stream with musician and pop culture icon Drake.
On Mixer, Ninja currently has an average of 5,290 viewers – this is the number from the last 30 days via mixerstats.)
Ninja is often teased about this enormous loss of viewers when live streaming.
Twitch Streamers and observers make fun of how few viewers Mixer actually has, and Ninja is often the target of such jokes. For understandable reasons, Ninja does not find this funny at all. To one who insulted him, he threatened to buy him homeless. Because Ninja has so much money that he could easily grab a bank.
Ninja and Drake reached over 600,000 viewers simultaneously during a stream in 2018.
“I’m still getting millions of views, dude”
This is what Ninja says now: In a series of statements during his Fortnite streams, Ninja explains that he is still doing incredibly well and reaching “millions of viewers”, just not on Mixer:
I don’t care. So many people come and take that as the first flame against me. The two times Tfue attacked me, he talked about how I need fame because my viewer numbers are going down. He takes pictures of my lowest viewer numbers every day.
Dude, I’m still getting millions of views on Twitter, Instagram, and Tik Tok. When I upload a Fortnite video to YouTube, it gets millions of views.
Ninja
The fact that he is being attacked by his rival Tfue, number 1 on Twitch, is something Ninja cannot stand. After all, he sees himself as someone who has done so much for streamers.
Because he also switched for everyone else on Mixer:
The switch from Mixer was massive, not just for me. I didn’t do it just for myself. One of the reasons we did this was to set a precedent. So that platforms have to start paying streamers to stay and paying them to switch.
Ninja
This is what Ninja says about Mixer: Ninja is proud of his numbers on Mixer. Even though the platform accounts for less than 5% of all streaming hours worldwide, he and colleague shroud could pull up to 10,000 viewers when playing a tournament.
When he’s participating in “Warzone Wednesday”, the CoD tournament by Keemstar, he reaches up to 14,000 live viewers. That’s equivalent to about 80,000 or 90,000 viewers on Twitch.
According to Ninja, this is an “incredible success.”
According to figures from April 2020, Mixer is about 40 times smaller than Twitch.
This is the situation with streaming services: Mixer has acquired two mega-stars from Twitch, shroud and Ninja; however, they have barely been able to grow their own streaming platform. While Twitch, YouTube, and Facebook are growing in live streaming, Mixer is stagnating at a low level.
As a gamer, it must surely annoy him that he no longer plays a role in the “high score” race for the highest viewer numbers. “Who has the most live viewers?” is ultimately the high score against which streamers measure each other.
Even though Ninja is right in everything he says, the constant teasing that he is “playing on a platform without viewers” visibly annoys him. And those who tease him about it will not care about the good arguments he has.
They simply enjoy tormenting him too much.
They are considered rivals: Tfue and Ninja.
Even though Ninja believes he has done so much for other streamers, he often finds himself in conflicts with them. Because he constantly reprimands others for what he sees as improper behavior.
Other streamers do not appreciate being lectured and criticized by Ninja. Two of the biggest Fortnite streamers attacked Ninja on Christmas.

Blizzard had an event planned for next week to officially unveil WoW Shadowlands. However, the event has been postponed due to the protests in the USA.
What does Blizzard say? In a statement on the Blizzard forums and on Twitter, the developer announced that the reveal event for WoW Shadowlands will be postponed.
The event was originally scheduled for June 9 and was expected to bring a flood of information about the new expansion, but this will not happen now due to the ongoing protests in the USA.
You can find the German Twitter post regarding the postponement here:
Es gibt wichtigere Stimmen als unsere, die derzeit gehört werden sollten. Wir verschieben unseren, für den 9. Juni geplanten, World of Warcraft: Shadowlands Livestream und werden in Zukunft weitere Details zu der nächsten Erweiterung mit euch teilen.
However, the event is not completely canceled. Instead, it will be postponed to a later date. The developer has not yet communicated when this will happen.
With this, Blizzard joins the list of developers and publishers who have decided to postpone their events and announcements due to the protests.
“MeinMMO, GameStar and GamePro position themselves in solidarity with the ‘Black Lives Matter’ movement and tolerate no discrimination. And we sincerely thank everyone who advocates for respectful coexistence in our communities. Our thoughts are with all those affected. Take care of yourselves.”
Fans are divided
The announcement regarding the postponement of the Shadowlands event has been received differently by fans, and it has been discussed in comments on Twitter, Reddit, and in the forums of the fan site WoWheads.
Critics say: Some members of the community accuse Blizzard of hypocrisy and double standards. According to these fans, Blizzard’s statement is a PR stunt.
It’s a shame you couldn’t do the same for the people in Hong Kong.
In particular, the incident involving Hearthstone pro Chung “Blitzchung” Ng Wai was mentioned multiple times in posts on Reddit and Twitter. The player had spoken out in favor of the protests in Hong Kong during an interview in a tournament stream.
Supporters say: There are also positive voices in the community. In their comments, these fans state that it is essential to fully focus attention on the protests and they agree with Blizzard’s statement.
Even though Blizzard did not act appropriately in the case of Blitzchung, they apologized on stage during BlizzCon, according to the comments:
It might be a PR stunt. But it’s also possible that they are trying to improve now. If you want people to support the cause you believe in, then don’t attack them when they do something good.
There is really not much known about the upcoming Season 11 or the big Autumn expansion of Destiny 2. Bungie has only sprinkled a few info snippets in the form of short teasers. But that was enough to get MeinMMO author Sven Galitzki excited about the game again. Are you feeling the same?
Actually, I am playing so little Destiny right now, more than ever: So far, I have experienced every high and low of the Destiny franchise. I have immersed myself through every new expansion and have remained loyal even in times when there was essentially nothing exciting to do.
But with Season 10, I have distanced myself from the game for the first time since the Destiny beta and have also enjoyed other games like The Division 2 more. The content from the Season of Worthy appealed to me so little that I logged into Destiny 2 only sporadically throughout the season. You can find out the reasons for this here: Why The Division 2 is currently the better Destiny 2 for me
This way, I only earned a few missing armor pieces that I was still missing as Armor 2.0 version to make them into ornaments in the future, ground out 2 – 3 missing catalysts or weapons, completed the Lie Quest, and followed with interest the developments around the Darkness and the Power.
My Hunter had to look nice again
Unfortunately, it didn’t lead to much more. The Trials, my big hope for this season, could unfortunately not motivate me anymore. The Bunkers remained almost completely untouched except for the “story” parts. I didn’t even check Guardian Olympics. And content that usually keeps me engaged for a long time – the air has simply run out by now.
For the first time, I looked seriously skeptical at the future of the franchise and decided for the first time not to let myself be influenced by potential hype and wanted to assess the future of Destiny 2 soberly.
I was convinced that this time it would go exactly that way. But then Bungie dropped a few small info snippets about Season 11 and the Autumn expansion and I realized very quickly, despite all my resolutions: Man, I was wrong …
About the Author: Sven has been working at MeinMMO since 2018 and intensively supervises the shooter sector as an author and responsible expert.
He is a Destiny fan from the very beginning and has spent enormous amounts of time on both parts of the franchise. If there is a game that will always have a special place in his heart, it is Destiny. But countless hours in various “Call of Duty” offshoots, as well as the Division and Battlefield series, are also part of his portfolio.
What has Bungie revealed so far about the future of Destiny 2? Unfortunately, not really much. In principle, hardly anything (regarding story and setting). Because Bungie wants to present the new season and the further future of Destiny 2, i.e. the Autumn expansion and possibly also Year 4, only on June 9. Apparently, both are directly connected.
So far, we only know the following:
Thanks to a new cutscene, we know that the great arch-enemy, the Darkness with its massive fleet, has now arrived right at our doorstep. There will likely be an inevitable confrontation – probably in the next Season 11.
In a leak, we saw Eris apparently on Europa, a frigid new location (this leak has since been confirmed).
In principle, we’ve never had so little info about upcoming content as we do now – not at this point, not even a week before release. Yet, against all expectations, this has been enough to generate the same hype in me as before Forsaken or Shadowkeep.
Why the hype then? After seeing the cutscene with the ship of the Darkness for the first time and the teasers with Eris and the Drifter, I was just as excited as before a big trailer for Forsaken. And this, even though I am not fully on board with everything Bungie is planning for the future – such as the retirement of weapons and gear.
But I immediately envisioned what exciting stories and locations await us there in the icy wasteland of Europa. How the encounter with our arch-enemy will unfold. Whether we might see old acquaintances like the mysterious Exo again. And what Season 11 has to do with all of this. Does it serve as a direct transition to the Autumn addon? Or does it tell its own story? Will we perhaps see parts of Destiny 3 in the Autumn?
What might await us on Europa?
In principle, they were almost meaningless snippets. But they triggered more in me in seconds than most full announcements or trailers of other games ever did. Even though I had prepared myself not to allow this.
Why? I don’t know. I seriously asked myself recently: Damn, Destiny! How do you always manage to hype me with so little info? And I can never answer that question.
Even though the game is currently at its absolute low point for me personally – it seems like it still hasn’t lost all its certain something, its notorious Space Magic that can captivate Guardians for weeks, months, and some even for years like no other game.
Because no other game has ever managed to get me into a state of anticipation and hype with so little info like Destiny has just done again.
I am looking forward to the arrival of the Darkness
Not for the first time have I realized that Destiny will likely remain more than just a game for me in the future – whatever it may look like – more than just a hobby. And even though I still have no interest in Season 10 on the final stretch – I can hardly wait to see what happens after June 9 and especially in the Autumn.
How about you? How are you feeling right now? Are you excited about what is coming soon? Perhaps even as hyped as I am – despite the thin info? Are you still looking at the whole thing soberly or skeptically? Or has the light of Destiny faded in your eyes and the future of the game leaves you cold? Let us know in the comments.
June 2020 has brought Pokémon GO new field research tasks. We show you the 6 quests that are currently the most rewarding.
These quests are about: In June, the quests around Ground Pokémon are in focus. In addition, there are other tasks that have been in the game for months. We show you a selection of quests that offer you the best rewards.
That way you’ll know which quest you should collect and keep, and which task you can quickly send away.
The best field research tasks in June 2020
Land 5 great curveball throws: This quest features Pandir with the number 5. Pandir is one of the rarest Shinies in the game and is therefore worth it.
However, the number 5 has never been available as a Shiny before. So if you already have Shiny Pandir, you should secure the new form of this rare Pokémon as Shiny this time.
Pandir #5 is available this month
Land 3 great throws: Here you mostly have the chance of Nebulak. Sometimes you’ll also find Anorith or Liliep in this quest. All 3 Pokémon are worth it anyway.
Nebulak will receive a Community Day in July and you can secure good specimens for its evolution through the quests. Anorith and Liliep are quite rare in the wild and a Shiny of them is sought after. Additionally, the quest is easy to complete.
If you didn’t participate in this event, you are likely still waiting for a Shiny. So this quest offers you an easy way to obtain it.
Shiny Voltobal has been available since the Safari Zone in May.
Catch 5 different Ground-type Pokémon: This task sounds quite tricky, but rewards you with 2 candy. Currently, the quest seems to be bugged, as you can catch any Pokémon to complete the quest.
The task is therefore more like “Catch 5 Pokémon” and for that, you’ll receive the 2 candy. Easy work for a rare item.
Catch 3 Ground-type Pokémon: This field research rewards you with Hippopotas. The 3 Ground-type Pokémon are not extremely fast to find, but the reward is worth it.
Hippopotas barely appears in the wild and the Shiny is therefore quite rare. It’s worth it to search for Ground-type Pokémon.
Send 3 gifts to friends: In this task, you will receive Schmerbe as a reward. Many trainers likely still lack its Shiny, and the quest is quick to complete.
How long will these field research tasks last? The tasks change every month. So you can take advantage of all these quests until the end of June. In June, 2 events also start, which may briefly introduce new field research tasks into the game. We will provide you with an overview.

In EVE Online , a group of space pirates has now pulled off the heist of their lives. Following a new patch, the group went on a raid and stumbled upon a gold mine. A single structure, previously owned by players, dropped items worth 4 trillion ISK, about $60,000.
These are Citadels in EVE Online: In 2016, EVE introduced “Citadels”: gigantic space stations that players can build. These Citadels were intended to serve as “safe havens” for players to store their belongings. Even if the Citadel was destroyed, the items were safe. The problem: The Citadels ultimately became “too safe” and limited the chaos that EVE now wants to encourage more.
Over the years, some groups and players who owned Citadels left EVE Online. Therefore, in the patch “Forsaken Fortresses,” EVE decided to make such abandoned Citadels available for plundering. Owners of these “dead” Citadels were warned beforehand, yet it has now become a feast for space pirates.
Citadels in EVE Online are enormous space stations.
Player prepares for raid, creates 8 accounts
This was the raid: Player Sulley prepared for a month to strike when the patch went live. As PC Gamer reports, he cleared 32 Citadels in the high-sec region first alone and later with a group of friends. He says most had only smaller fortunes.
But on June 2, he scored big. He and his looting buddies cleared a Citadel that belonged to the group “Future Tech Industry.” There they discovered what might be the “largest haul in EVE Online’s history,” according to PC Gamer.
It was items worth 4 trillion ISK. When converted to game time, that amounts to about $60,000.
Citadels were meant to be safe havens, but now they are big loot.
The Citadel was actually a relatively insignificant one, a “Raitaru Engineering Complex” in the Stetille star system – essentially in the middle of nowhere. Yet the Citadel spat out valuable blueprints, including 23 “Tech 2” versions, which hold enormous value. With these blueprints, specialized and powerful versions of items can be manufactured.
EVE Online shut off the supply of these blueprints years ago, making them highly coveted collector’s items.
The blueprints are so rare that their price is “negotiable,” and they are sold to the highest bidder. Sulley has already sold most of the collection for 3.8 trillion ISK and still has some of the blueprints left.
This is the fortune that was looted. Source: PC Gamer
Raid was planned, initially intended to run solo
This is what the player says: The raid was not a coincidence. Since Sulley learned that the “Forsaken Fortress” patch was coming, he did his homework. He says he spent about a week searching for Citadels that looked abandoned and ripe for plundering.
He tried to estimate the value of the Citadels and their status by gathering information about the organizations and used a small trick to know exactly when a Citadel was “ripe”: He deposited an item in the Citadel and was thus alerted when it was in danger of being looted.
In the end, he came up with 18 targets that could be worthwhile. And as you can see, there was a bullseye among them.
At first, Sulley tried to carry out the raid on his own. For this, he created 8 new accounts that he raised to pilot “Kikimora” class ships, which he then controlled as a multiboxer. The destroyers are ideally suited for clearing Citadels in EVE Online, as they deal more damage the longer they stay on a target.
But when he started engaging the Citadels, he realized they dropped more loot than he could collect alone. Other pirates swooped in and snatched loot that eluded Sulley. He obviously could not allow that.
Therefore, Sulley ultimately decided to bring in some of his buddies to fend off pesky outside looters.
Sulley says he has been playing EVE Online for 12 years and his share of the 4 trillion ISK has now tripled what he has previously earned in EVE in one fell swoop.

Redistribution from old players to active players
Despite his enormous profits, Sulley sees the change in the Citadels as a double-edged sword: This “redistribution” of wealth from old players to new ones is a great thing for the newcomers. On the other hand, a group of players has now lost everything.
It seems unlikely that players who lose everything while inactive will return to EVE Online.
In EVE, it often involves many hours of work.
How it feels to be a victim of such a raid was experienced by a player in March 2020. He had been playing EVE Online for 16 years but then became the “fool of the hour” when he carted cargo worth $5,000 through all and acted far too carelessly:

What is Final Fantasy XIV Online?Final Fantasy XIV Online is a true MMORPG with everything it entails. With an extensive crafting system, housing, dungeons, and endgame content, the game offers a wealth of entertainment for MMORPG fans. The game is one of the few in its genre that still relies on a proper subscription model.
Why is Final Fantasy XIV Online worth it: The online role-playing game offers a large scope for most players. With quests, raids, and PvP, there is something for everyone’s taste. The story is primarily told through text but is also frequently lightened up with beautiful cutscenes. Additionally, there is a comprehensive crafting system. Moreover, the developers regularly provide fresh content with dungeons or quests.
By the way, apart from the subscription fees, you don’t have to pay anything extra, as you don’t need a PlayStation Plus membership to play.
What is less successful? The entry into the game is a bit too slow for some. It takes a while before the game picks up pace. The combat system could become monotonous over time for some players. Additionally, the MMORPG has a very extensive crafting system that takes a lot of time, which not everyone may appreciate.
Who is Final Fantasy XIV Online worth it for? Anyone looking for a true MMORPG and is not afraid of the recurring subscription costs will find this game very rewarding. Compared to many others in its genre, Final Fantasy XIV Online offers decent graphics on the PS4, and the music is powerful.
Pro
Plenty of content for every type of player
Regular content patches with new dungeons and raids
Interesting story with beautiful cutscenes
extensive crafting system….
Contra
Slow entry
Monotonous combat system
Subscription costs (€12.99 per month)
Where can you buy Final Fantasy XIV Online? The Complete Edition includes all expansions of the MMORPG. These include:
Shadowbringers
Stormblood
Heavensward
In addition, 30 days of gameplay are included. If you’re looking for a good entry into the MMORPG, the Complete Edition offers a fair deal.
What is Marvel’s Spider-Man? This is an action-adventure game set in the Marvel universe. You take on the role of Peter Parker, better known as Spider-Man, and fight various villains in New York. The game tells a completely independent story and features a fast-paced, action-packed combat system. The protagonist is already an experienced superhero with corresponding abilities.
Why is Marvel’s Spider-Man worth it: The game offers a great combat and movement system: you swing, jump, and fly through the skyscrapers of New York and beat your enemies with a complex combat system. And the swinging mechanics are unique.
Overall, the game is beautifully staged and offers around 20 – 30 hours of good entertainment with many references to other comics. The large open world also offers many side quests and other activities in New York. Thanks to New Game Plus, it definitely makes sense to experience the game again.
What is less successful: Marvel’s Spider-Man offers a cool, large game world, but many of the NPCs are cloned and noticeably worse animated than the main protagonist. Additionally, there are some stealth segments that feel superficial and somewhat forced.
Who is Marvel’s Spider-Man worth it for? If you are a fan of Spider-Man and Co. or have always wanted to step into the shoes of a superhero, then you will likely have a lot of fun with this game. Especially the combat system and swinging through the streets are very enjoyable, which few other games offer in this form.
Pro
great combat and swinging system
captivatingly staged missions and quests
the world is packed with hundreds of mini-quests and tasks…
many references to comics
great soundtrack
New Game Plus
Contra
badly animated NPC clones
annoying stealth sections that stretch the game
… that can become tiring over time
Where can you buy Marvel’s Spider-Man? Currently, there is a Game of the Year Edition on sale in the PS Store. The Season Pass is included, which among other things offers the story chapter Marvel’s Spider-Man: “The City That Never Sleeps”.
What is Persona 5 Royal? In Persona 5, you dive into turn-based party battles with the male protagonist Joker in a parallel world. After the battles, you lead your life as a normal student, earn money, and get to know your friends better. After school, you hunt for the hearts of evil people. There are relatively loose time constraints that divide the game into days and semesters.
Why is Persona 5 Royal worth it: The Royal Edition represents the expanded version of the old PS3/PS4 game. And even the base game Persona 5 was characterized by its enormous scope. The Royal version significantly increases this: It expands the game by an additional semester and two new characters. You can easily spend an additional 20 to 30 hours. If you watch all the cutscenes, read texts, and engage in battles, you can easily clock over 100 hours with the game. Moreover, the replay value is further enhanced by the new semester and characters.
The Royal version also offers German subtitles and interface, unlike the “normal” Persona 5 version. The voice acting is still available in English or Japanese.
What is less successful? If you’re interested in the new features compared to the old game, you’ll have to buy the game because there is no upgrade option. It’s also disappointing that the Royal version still only offers either English or Japanese voice acting.
Who is Persona 5 Royal worth it for? If you enjoy Japanese role-playing games, you will find much to appreciate here. And for all players who have yet to buy Persona 5 because they weren’t interested in an English version, you can now also jump in: Persona 5 Royal offers German menus and subtitles.
Also, for players who already own Persona 5, purchasing Persona 5 Royal can be worthwhile since the new game content significantly expands the great game.
Pro
very large scope (100+ hours)
unique story about Personas
many Personas to collect and combine
interesting and lovable characters
high replay value
great soundtrack
Contra
no upgrade option from the old Persona 5
only English and Japanese voice acting
Where can you buy Persona 5 Royal? Currently, there is the base game on sale in the PS Store. Alternatively, you can also go for the Deluxe Bundle, but it only contains the Kasumi Costume Bundle, which offers 4 sets of cosmetic items.
What is Death Stranding? Death Stranding is an open-world game where you play as Sam Porter Bridges. He is a post-apocalyptic delivery man transporting goods like food and medicine to the last survivors of humanity.
Why is Death Stranding worth it: The game is particularly noted for its atmosphere: you wander through beautiful, stunning landscapes, and the soundtrack and the voice dialogues greatly enhance the mood. The style is quirky yet unique. In what other game do you play as a “postman” delivering valuable cargo? Also cool is the indirect multiplayer. With the TCK module, you can build structures in the landscape to help other players or warn them.
What is less successful: Despite its beauty and uniqueness, the game sometimes feels lifeless. This is because you can never enter the cities you deliver to. So, you will never see the people you support. Additionally, the beginning of the game is relatively slow, and you will only unlock the first real weapons after several hours.
Who is Death Stranding worth it for? This game is particularly suited for players who are interested in a unique combination of beautiful landscapes, open-world, post-apocalyptic mood, and special gameplay and are not primarily focused on combat.
Pro
beautifully designed world
captivating atmosphere, thanks to real actors and full voice acting
quirky gameplay mechanics
Contra
slow start
players cannot enter cities
Where can you buy Death Stranding? Death Stranding is currently available in both the normal and Digital Deluxe Editions on sale. The Digital Deluxe Edition includes not only the game but also a complete avatar set and the soundtrack “Timefall,” along with additional in-game items.
What is Borderlands 3? Borderlands 3 is a first-person shooter. Like its predecessors, it features vibrant comic graphics and continues the wild story of the Vault Hunters across the galaxy. Starting on Pandora, you travel from planet to planet. The core of the game revolves around the crazy weapons and the collection of ever better gear – in other words, the notorious loot spiral.
Why is this game worth it? Borderlands 3 offers a vast playground for those who enjoy fast-paced action with a hefty dose of dark humor. The game can be played alone, but it is especially fun in co-op mode – whether online or on the couch in split-screen. The quirky setting of science fiction and western is unique.
At the end of April, Gearbox released new content for Borderlands 3 that you should definitely check out. Furthermore, the game will be regularly updated with additional content at least until September 2020.
What is less successful? Compared to its predecessor, Borderlands 3 offers few innovations. The game mechanics remain largely unchanged. The Mayhem mode is currently criticized but should improve in the coming weeks.
Who is Borderlands 3 worth it for? If you are looking for a first-person shooter with lots of chaotic action, spiced with a touch of dark humor and loot, you should definitely check out Borderlands 3. Fans of the Borderlands series will feel right at home, but some newcomers to the series might fall in love at first sight.
Pro
collecting crazy weapons is very motivating
four different characters with their own character development
fun, chaotic co-op mode
Contra
few innovations compared to the predecessor
Mayhem mode currently unbalanced
Where can you buy Borderlands 3? Currently, the normal edition of Borderlands 3 is on sale in the PS Store:
What is Hunt: Showdown? This game is a horror shooter with survival aspects. Several teams of two players fight demons on the map to gain equipment and skills. The teams also get in each other’s way. The game deliberately combines PvE and PvP elements.
Why is Hunt: Showdown worth it: The game skillfully combines fun and tactical shooter gameplay with a dense atmosphere. Who rushes in will quickly bite the dust. Instead, tactics and careful approach are rewarded, and you should pay attention to the sounds. In addition, the hunt for demons and loot offers a lot of depth, and the design of the enemies is convincing. You can start the monster hunt solo, in pairs, or even in trios.
What is less successful: You can tell that the game was initially developed for PC. For example, menus are not well optimized for the controller and can be cumbersome to use.
Who is Hunt: Showdown worth it for? If you are interested in a challenging co-op shooter that rewards careful and tactical play, you will likely enjoy Hunt: Showdown.
Pro
great shooter gameplay
dense atmosphere with strong lore
tactical and careful play rewarded
cool enemy design
playable solo, duo, and trio in co-op
Contra
lack of controller optimization
limited scope
Where can you buy Hunt: Showdown? The normal edition is currently on sale in the PlayStation Store:

Next weekend, Latias and Latios will return to Pokémon GO. We provide all the info about the return of the Eon Duo.
When do the legendary Pokémon arrive? The two monsters will appear during a special raid weekend. This takes place from June 12 at 8 AM local time to June 15 at 10 PM local time. You have 4 full days to challenge the monsters.
Are the two Pokémon worth it? The better of the two legendary Pokémon is Latios. It is among the best Dragon attackers in the game and is quite useful.
However, there are better alternatives such as Rayquaza or Salamence. Latias is slightly weaker and does not necessarily need to be included in your battle team.
Are there shiny versions? You can encounter both Pokémon as shinies, making their return worthwhile – provided you haven’t yet obtained the shiny versions of both monsters.
The rate for a shiny is usually 1 in 19. So you have a good chance of getting a coveted shiny.
How to defeat Latias and Latios? Both Pokémon are of Psychic and Dragon type. Effective types are thus Dragon, Fairy, Ice, Bug, Ghost, and Dark.
The best Pokémon for this are Rayquaza, Salamence, and Giratina. We have already provided a detailed overview of the best counters for the last raid weekend of both Pokémon. There you will also find additional useful information.
How many trainers are needed? For both Pokémon, at least 3 trainers should be used. However, this trio works quite well with the right Pokémon.

How do I get Ultimate TOTS cards? The coveted cards can naturally be found in packs, but they are very hard to obtain. You need a lot of luck to pull them.
Additionally, they will be included in your Weekend League Rewards this coming Thursday. Depending on how many victories you achieve, you can get the strong cards in red Player Picks. It’s still worth it to fight for victories in the Weekend League.
Additionally, next week you will also find an Ultimate TOTS SBC that promises a guaranteed player from the team. However, the requirements will be high – and it can also happen that you do not pull your desired player. It is therefore important to weigh whether the exchange is worthwhile.

Today, on June 5th, it is once again Xur Day in Destiny 2 once again. But where has the Exotic trader gone this time? We tell you everything about Xur’s location and inventory this weekend.
On June 9th, it will be time, and finally, we will know more about what changes are coming in the new season. Many patch notes for update 2.9.0 are now known. In addition, Bungie released a teaser trailer that could hint at a new location on the moon Europa – whether this will play a role in Season 11 or only in the big fall expansion, we will probably find out next week.
But for today, everything remains the same, and we will take a look at Xur’s last offer in Season 10.
All information about Xur on June 5, 2020 – PS4, PC, Xbox One, Google Stadia
Xur appears: As usual, the noodle-faced one will appear today at 7:00 PM on a planet of his choice. He will stay there until the next weekly reset on June 9th and sell his exotic goods to interested guardians.
Does Xur have something special for the season’s end?
What does Xur have on offer? What weapon does Xur have this weekend? And are his equipment pieces worth it?
We will visit the mysterious trader and take a close look at his inventory.
Where is Xur? This is his location this weekend
Xur’s position: You can find the noodle-faced one this weekend on Titan in the area “The Rig”.
Xur’s location on Titan
Xur’s inventory from June 5 to June 9 – Overview of all Exotics
Weapon: SUROS-Regime – Automatic rifle for 29 legendary shards
Titan: Handheld – Gauntlets for 23 legendary shards
Mobility: +6
Resilience: +14
Recovery: +6
Discipline: +12
Intellect: +2
Strength: +12
Total: 52
Hunter:St4mp-F3R – Leg armor for 23 legendary shards
This changes raiding significantly, as you can always ensure that you have enough trainers in the raid.
Invited Raids – Here’s How It Works
This is the system: When you enter a raid lobby, you will soon find a plus symbol there. You can invite up to 5 friends. They will receive the invitation via push notification and on the “Nearby” screen.
The invited trainers can then simply join the lobby, no matter where they are. Of course, they will still need to invest a raid pass, but only at the expiration of the timer. This feature is also new and was recently leaked.
Remote raids can soon be done from anywhere
What does this mean for you? The criticism of the remote raids so far has been that you needed to see the gyms with the raids. This is no longer the case with the invitations; only one trainer needs to see the gym.
Additionally, you will only need to invest your pass when you actually have enough players in the lobby.
This will also come: As another new feature, Pokémon GO announces stickers. You can simply attach these stickers to your gifts for your friends.
However, it seems that the stickers only have a cosmetic use. You will not gain any gameplay advantages just because you use the stickers.
When will the features arrive? This is still not entirely clear. Niantic only states that the raid feature will be available after the disappearance of Reshiram – which means not until after June 16.
In general, they speak of the features being released in the summer. So we may still have to wait a while before they are actually implemented.
Until then, we can enjoy 2 events that will start in June.

If you are really good at Call of Duty, you can make a living from it. We show you the 10 professionals who have earned the most money from tournaments.
What is being shown here? You can get really rich through gaming. Especially streamers sometimes sign contracts worth millions. But here we look at the professionals who became rich through prize money.
We therefore show the earnings they made exclusively from tournaments in the shooter series Call of Duty. Possible earnings from advertising or streams were not taken into account.
The list is based on a video from the magazine Dexerto. They also noted that some prize money was shared among the entire team.
The 10 professionals who have earned the most money in tournaments
Rank 10 – Enable: He has been participating in tournaments since 2013 and won a really big pile of money for the first time in 2015. He and his team placed third in the CoD Championships 2015, securing a prize money of 120,000 Euros.
Then he followed up with big successes in World War 2 and Black Ops 4. His earnings in these tournaments total to nearly 490,000 Euros.
CoD professional Enable
Rank 9 – John: The American celebrated his first major success in 2013 when he and his team placed 5th at the CoD Championship. His team received a prize money of 70,000 dollars.
However, his biggest success was winning the CoD Championship in 2016. That brought his team a total of 800,000 dollars in prize money. Overall, he earned about 523,500 dollars on his own.
Rank 8 – Apathy: He and his team placed fourth at the CoD Championship 2014 and secured a prize money of 100,000 dollars. After that, he participated in countless other tournaments and won smaller amounts repeatedly.
His biggest success was also winning the CoD Championship in 2016. Together with John, he won 800,000 dollars there. In 2018, he won the Championship again and secured another 600,000 dollars for his team. His total earnings amount to approximately 580,000 dollars.
Rank 7 – Slasher: The American won the Championship in 2016 together with Apathy and John and continued to gather numerous victories or finals qualifications in highly lucrative tournaments.
Most recently, he was really successful in Black Ops 4 and won two CWL tournaments in 2019. His total prize money amounts to nearly 638,000 Euros.
Rank 6 – Formal: The professional won countless smaller tournaments and therefore collected a lot of money. However, his biggest success was winning the Championship in 2017. That brought his team a total of 600,000 dollars.
After that, he secured more victories that brought his team sometimes over 100,000 dollars. By the way, his start in Modern Warfare was quite rough, as he was banned shortly before the release on Twitch.
His total prize money amounts to nearly 643,000 dollars.
Formal won over 640,000 dollars
Rank 5 – Scump: The professional is already a real veteran and has been around since 2010. In 2013, he won 120,000 dollars with his team by placing 3rd in the CoD Championship.
The most important CoD tournament was then won by him in 2017. In addition, he collected numerous victories at the CWL and MLG tournaments. His total prize money amounts to approximately 695,000 dollars.
Rank 4 – JKap: He already collected big prize money in 2013 and earned 200,000 dollars with his team and the 2nd place at the CoD Championship in 2013.
He then won the CoD Championship twice – in 2015 and 2016. Thus, he and more victories in smaller tournaments accrued a total prize money of 707,000 dollars for the American.
Rank 3 – Clayster: He has been participating in tournaments since 2009 and has occasionally won smaller sums. As third place in the CoD Championship in 2013, his team received 120,000 dollars.
After that came the victory of the Championship in 2015 and 2019. He is already quite successful in Modern Warfare. His prize money currently amounts to about 752,000 dollars.
Rank 2 – Crimsix: Also collecting some prize money since 2009, Crimsix won the CoD Championship with his team in 2014 and 400,000 dollars.
Then came another Championship win in 2017 and another 600,000 dollars in prize money for his team. In addition, he won numerous smaller tournaments and secured his team several times over 100,000 dollars in prize money. His total earnings amount to approximately 805,000 dollars.
This is Karma – he has won the most prize money so far
Rank 1 – Karma: The Canadian won the CoD Championship three times – in 2013, 2014, and 2017 he collected a total of 1.4 million dollars for his team.
In addition, there are countless other victories in smaller tournaments. His prize money therefore amounts to an incredible 806,000 dollars.
In the future, however, there will be silence around Karma. The professional has quit his career because he couldn’t cope with Modern Warfare. He simply said he was no longer good enough, the professional explained.

Riot Games has finally reworked Volibear in League of Legends. This makes the players happy on one hand. On the other hand, the bear is now one of the worst champions in ranked.
What happened to Volibear? For a few days now, the rework of Volibear has been available on the public game servers. Many players were looking forward to this, as his old kit was no longer up to date and could rarely shine in games, even in niche positions. The announcement for the rework came back in October 2019.
However, the new Voli is not really well-received. A look at his win rates shows that he is currently not performing well in ranked games. His win rate is the second weakest in the last 7 days. Patch 10.11 with the rework of Volibear was released 9 days ago.
His win rate is that bad: The win rate explains the ratio of games played to wins or losses. The top champions have win rates of just over 53% (currently Singed). Then there are some that are hovering around nearly 50%.
Volibear, on the other hand, currently has 44.23% win rate in the last 7 days in ranked games. This is just ahead of Akali, who shows a win rate of 44.17%.
Win rate of the last 7 days in the ranked game of LoL NA – sorted by lowest win rate – status as of June 5 – source: op.gg
In the last 24 hours, his win rate looks better. He currently has a 46.99% win rate.
Why is the win rate so low? It should also be noted that Volibear has this embedded statistic on over 180,000 games in the last 7 days. The other champions with such low win rates are played far less.
Many now want to play Volibear and try out the rework. Additionally, many need to get used to this playstyle first.
Moreover, a hotfix already followed on June 2, which should strengthen the weak Voli. He was probably not strong enough shortly after his release.

These buffs are planned: Nathan “RiotLutzburg” Lutz is a champion designer at League of Legends. He reached out to the players on reddit and explains what is in store for Volibear in the future.
Patch 10.12 includes some buffs. More mana and health per level, upgrades to the Q ability and the ultimate are also planned.
Additionally, some bug fixes are coming.
This is what Riot says about Voli’s current situation: LutzBurg writes that Volibear has an average win rate of 49% in the jungle. The micro-buffs have increased his win rate by about 3%. However, he still lags behind on the top lane.
Overall, the player feedback is agreed upon:
His Q made him faster, but he couldn’t catch up with opponents
His E was hard to hit, but the damage was not impressive when he did hit
R made him look cool and strong, but he rarely managed to deal damage and sometimes died right after
For this reason, they are addressing the values of his spells instead of just cranking up all his stats.
With the planned changes, Volibear could then reach a healthy position in terms of balance.
In LoL, they have just said goodbye to an exceptional talent. The former star ADC Uzi retires. At only 23 years old, his health can no longer take it.

Many heroes died in World of Warcraft and in the Shadowlands some return. One special lady is sure to please many fans…
Over the years, many great and small heroes have died in World of Warcraft, including numerous important characters with extensive stories. Some of these characters we meet again in the “Shadowlands” – including a fan-favorite whose death affected many players deeply. We reveal how the story continues.
Spoiler Warning: This article contains some spoilers from the area of Ardenweald in WoW: Shadowlands. You have been warned.
The story of Ardenweald primarily deals with nature spirits. When powerful creatures die that have a strong connection to nature, they end up in Ardenweald. There they rest in so-called “Wildseed” and are tended to by the Night Fae. The Night Fae provide these seeds with Anima and watch over them until they can be reborn.
However, players learn early on about a major dilemma. Because without fresh souls, there is no Anima either. The Night Fae have started to sort through the Wildseeds. Not all nature beings can be saved. Many of them “die” in their form as Wildseeds and are thus lost forever.
In this Wildseed slumbers the Dreamer, Ysera.
One seed turns out to be special, as it directly connects with the player. This seed only accepts Anima from the player, which is why the fae task the players with taking care of the seed.
Another special feature is that the seed creates nightmares that even manifest. At this point, the parallels to the Emerald Nightmare become clear, and one can guess which creature slumbers in the seed – Ysera the Dreamer and (former) Aspect of the green dragonflight.
As soon as the player resumes their travels, Ysera’s nightmares worsen. Throughout the questline, we attempt to piece together her memories. Along the way, there are (as flashbacks) reunions with Tyrande, Malfurion, her daughter Merithra, and also Deathwing.

Finally, we learn the reason why the seed is so restless and plagued by nightmares. Ysera repeatedly experiences the final moments of her life. Corrupted by the nightmare, she slaughters numerous players and elves at the Temple of Elune until she ultimately dies – again and again.
After Ysera is freed from the nightmare, the story ends for now (especially because the game then crashes). Exactly how the story finds its conclusion is still not entirely clear. However, it suggests that Ysera will play an important role again during Shadowlands. Since she also has new game files for a model, she will most likely appear.
Why is Ysera even in Ardenweald? Actually, all souls have been going to the Maw after their death for some time now and do not come to the other realms. However, an exception was apparently made for Ysera, as she made her way directly to Ardenweald, which the fae find strange. The reason for this could be the intervention of the Moon Goddess Elune.

In the cinematic in Val’sharah, one can see how Ysera is “lifted to the heavens” by Elune. Her spirit was apparently sent directly to Ardenweald – but that was also one of the best WoW cinematics of all time.
Are you looking forward to reuniting with Ysera? Or do you not like these encounters with the dead in WoW?

An accident and the subsequent apology provide many laughs. The relevant post on Reddit has almost 40,000 upvotes after about 3 days.
What exactly does the clip show? Accidents in the multiplayer of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare happen all the time and everywhere. Whether it’s an accidental team kill or a stolen execution – in the heat of battle, such mistakes are sometimes just unavoidable.
However, only a few actually apologize for it. One player, however, valued his honor so much that he apologized in a way that made thousands of players laugh and shower him with compliments.
The Reddit user and CoD player TERR1TORYman was playing on the popular map Shoot House during a multiplayer match and was lining up for an execution kill.
The scene of the incident: Shoot House
But just as his dog was about to bite into the opponent and rip him to shreds, another player ran by and simply knocked out TERR1TORYman’s victim during the execution animation, stealing his guaranteed kill. Not a very nice move, as a “kill steal” is frowned upon by most CoD players.
What happened next was probably unexpected by anyone. A bit incredulously, TERR1TORYman looked at the kill-stealer. He had already figured out the whole situation and was looking embarrassed at the ground – a typical sign of “Oh, oh. I just really messed up.” But shortly after, he apologized with an unexpected gesture: he straightened himself up – just like an honorable samurai warrior. But not with a sword, rather with a Molotov cocktail. But see for yourself:

What are the players saying? This action is being celebrated massively in the post. Many comments say it is the funniest thing seen in Modern Warfare recently. One can almost feel his guilt and regret.
The kill-stealer receives a lot of praise for his honorable exit. Many say that such honor and decency are hardly found these days – a true gentleman, as it ought to be.
Many also celebrate the unfortunate player for something quite different. Numerous players find it remarkable that he manages to stand in the otherwise absolutely deadly middle lane of Shoot House for so long without getting shot to pieces in the blink of an eye.
What do you think about this “apology”? Do you actually apologize for such accidents? Or do you just keep playing as if nothing happened? By the way, if you don’t know what to do until Season 4, take a look at this article: CoD MW & Warzone: 6 things to do until Season 4

The medieval MMO Conqueror’s Blade is now 1 year old and is celebrating the anniversary with numerous bonuses, boosters, and free loot. Therefore, the game is particularly worthwhile for newcomers right now.
What is Conqueror’s Blade? Conqueror’s Blade is a Free2Play medieval MMO where you take care of the strategic planning of a kingdom, but also engage directly in battles on the battlefield. Depending on your chosen weapon, you have different combat characteristics. Moreover, you lead a whole unit of brave AI soldiers into battle, which you command in real-time.
Because while you can deal a lot of damage alone, you cannot win a battle. Additionally, you can upgrade and develop your soldiers between fights. You can also equip your hero with new abilities. How this plays out has already been experienced by MeinMMO author Jürgen Horn in a test at release:
What is the anniversary about? Conqueror’s Blade has now been on the market for a year and to celebrate this event, the developers are offering plenty of goodies for all players. Until June 25, there is a celebration full of bonuses, gifts, and offers for the Conqueror’s Blade community.
Anniversary is optimal for newcomers
Here’s what’s currently special: The big highlight of the anniversary is a fancy new hero armor. You can get it if you log into the game at least 15 times by June 25, 2020.
In addition, you can expect the following bonuses for the event period:
30 percent more bronze
30 percent more honor
30 percent more hero and unit XP
The weekly limit for honor will be increased
Unit armors no longer need to be repaired
That’s why it’s worth it for newcomers right now: All these bonuses are especially valuable if you are new to Conqueror’s Blade and want to make rapid progress in the game. With the 1-year event, you have the perfect timing to dive into the medieval MMO fresh and successfully. The grind to unlock new things is now at its lowest and you can quickly get to know and experiment with new features in the game.
https://youtu.be/JFr6Ewmig2E
Here you can find all the goodies for the anniversary.
These are the special offers for the anniversary: Besides these free goodies, Conqueror’s Blade also offers a special deal in the shop. There you can buy a special Minotaur armor. So if you’ve always wanted to be a wild combat cow or an angry bull, you can grab the armor in the cash shop for €14.99 while the event lasts.
In Pokémon GO a new trick has emerged that can save you a lot of balls. If you use it correctly, you will never throw a ball away and waste it again.
This is what the trick is based on: This trick only works if you use the catching trick. This allows you to skip the animations you see when catching Pokémon and often saves you 10 seconds per Pokémon when catching.
The new trick builds on that. If you cancel the catching trick at the right moment, you save the thrown ball, even though it was already in the air.
Saving balls thanks to the catching trick
This is how the catching trick works: We explain the catching trick to you here again in a quick overview:
Click on a Pokémon
Move the selection of berries or balls slightly towards the center of the screen with your left thumb
Hold this selection there with your finger
With the other hand, you can then throw a ball at the Pokémon as usual
If the ball hits, then you can click on “Run Away”
Click on the Pokémon again – If it reappears, you haven’t caught it; if it is gone, it has fled or been caught
This is how you use the new trick: To save your balls, you need to be quick. Here we also explain the trick step by step:
Throw the ball at the Pokémon, just like you always do with the catching trick. But make sure to use the ball bar for this and not the berry bar
If the ball does not hit, you can quickly click on any ball that appears below
If you are quick enough, you can save the ball and practically did not use it at all
This only works with balls that do not hit the Pokémon. So you cannot catch a Pokémon without having used a ball.
We will embed a video from the YouTuber ProdigiesNation here again. He was the first to publicly reveal the catching trick:
https://youtu.be/GGYRNS-p_8Q?t=58
The trick starts at minute 0:58
Why is the trick so good? Many trainers often suffer from a lack of balls. With this trick, you can at least be sure that you will not waste any balls. Every Pokéball actually hits the desired monster.
Is this intended? The same applies here as with the catching trick. Of course, you are exploiting a bug here, but at least the catching trick has been in the game for years and has not been removed.
It is certainly not intended for you to save balls this way. We recommend using this trick at your own risk. MeinMMO editor Noah Struthoff has been using the catching trick and this trick for a long time and has not had any problems so far.
In Destiny 2, you will soon be able to play with the controller the way you always wanted. MeinMMO shows you what will soon be possible with the input device.
You can look forward to this next week: In the TWaB from June 4, Bungie discussed changes expected in Season 11. In addition to a detailed preview of the patch notes, the new customization options for controllers are particularly noteworthy – as they bring an unprecedented freedom to play Destiny 2.
For instance, a completely customizable mapping of buttons and functions will be possible. Exotic settings such as travel time to the trigger, multi-mapping, or “chord support” will also come into play.
Here’s why that’s great: Who hasn’t experienced it, in the middle of a heated duel, accidentally pressing the stick too hard, unleashing an unwanted melee attack, and losing the fight because of it? Thanks to the new customization options, that should soon be a thing of the past.
Even more important will be the freedom of mapping the controller for these reasons:
Through the new options, Bungie aims to help individuals with motor impairments – for this, they are also working with accessibility specialists
Left-handed players will no longer be at a disadvantage due to the completely revamped mapping
Thanks to the strong customization, you can copy the controller layout from other games, so you won’t have to readjust when you play something different
Examples of the new options on the controller
New Settings and Options for Controllers in Destiny 2
What will be possible in Season 11? The new options will complement the existing customization choices, such as selecting presets or sensitivity settings.
Under Settings, you will soon find these controller adjustments:
You can freely assign the controller sticks and buttons – Every action in the game can be assigned as you wish. This includes, for example, your character’s abilities, interactions with the environment, or vehicle controls
You can choose whether the assigned function is activated by
a simple button press
a double button press (some abilities like the Hunter jump currently use this function)
a long button press (some exotics like Symmetry currently use this function for the alternate firing mode)
You can select after how many milliseconds the double button press is activated
You can assign two buttons to any action to activate them (in standard controls, this applies to your super) – this is called chord support
Through these options, the accessibility of the controller is intended to approach that of keyboard players. They currently have more options due to the significantly higher number of keys. Some of the features presented are even (for now) controller-exclusive. So, keyboard users do not have the option to individually map abilities like the Warlock’s Icarus Dash or some class abilities.
There are also limitations: Bungie states in the TWaB: “Although these features are a step towards better motor accessibility in Destiny, they are still limited in their possibilities”
These limitations are noted:
Initially, the controller remapping feature is limited to game actions – not to UI input or menu navigation
Not all game actions allow for choosing whether the button should be pressed or held. For example, shooting cannot be permanently activated by a short button press
Due to the great freedom and customization, there can sometimes be “unexpected results”
At launch, there will be no dynamic preview for the custom layout with a controller as an image
What do you think of the features presented? Will you experiment with the new options and look forward to more freedom with the controller in Season 11? By the way, Bungie recently commented on the rumors about a delayed start of the still untitled season: Destiny 2: Could Season 11 be delayed? Here’s what Bungie says
