After a match against a prominent FIFA-20 streamer, professional René Nußbaumer’s phone suddenly wouldn’t stop buzzing. For days, hate messages flooded in for the 23-year-old. In an interview with MeinMMO, the player shares how he dealt with it.
What happened? René Nußbaumer is from Austria and plays FIFA professionally for the Paranoia Team of L4K eSports. At the end of April, he unknowingly faced FIFA streamer Krasi in the Weekend League. The match ended in a 1:0 victory for Nußbaumer – but there was a fallout.
The streamer cut a 40-second clip from the video that caused a stir. It shows Nußbaumer playing defensively to keep Krasi away from the ball. The clip was shared on Twitter and reddit, among other platforms.
On Twitter, the streamer wrote: “People like Nussi 1513 shouldn’t be allowed to play FUT Champs. He did this non-stop for 90 minutes. He took advantage of the obvious connection benefit because he is German to keep the ball since he scored the 1:0 in the 15th minute. Enjoy the win, ‘German Pro.'”

According to Nußbaumer, Krasi announced the clip: “He sent me a Twitter DM telling me to better stay away from social media,” says the 23-year-old: “A few hours later, the messages, insults, and abuse started pouring in. It was directed towards me and my style of play. It escalated to the point where there were even threats.”
“I have never experienced anything like this”
As Nußbaumer recounts, the match took place at night: “I didn’t know it was being streamed. It was three in the morning, I had to finish my games,” he explains. For him, it was a Weekend League match that felt like any other: “I didn’t even know I was playing against him until half-time.”
The two faced each other in a Weekend League match
He didn’t expect such a backlash on all channels – and was understandably shocked: “It started on Twitter, where Krasi is very active. I thought I’d just turn off Twitter for a few hours. Then it picked up on Facebook, where I’m in several FIFA groups. Continued with Instagram messages, it was chaotic on all social media platforms. But it wasn’t just for a few hours, it lasted three to four days,” Nußbaumer shares, who suddenly found himself confronted with a flood of insults: “I was called a ‘rat’ and received rat pictures.” A Twitter post about the specific Weekend League also received very harsh comments.
Cyberbullying in eSports can have serious consequences
Nußbaumer’s coach, Ugur Dertli, described attacks that were very personal: “They became very personal. They dug up his private photos and edited them. They said things like ‘go kill yourself, go hang yourself, look at how you look.'” That raised alarm bells for the coach, who also received some extreme messages in the process: “Cyberbullying can lead to severe consequences, and it’s not impossible in eSports either.”
How did Nußbaumer deal with it? At the beginning, it was very difficult for him to handle the sudden situation, the player explains: “It’s the very first time; this has never happened before. I have never been hated like this.” Ultimately, it was the sheer volume of messages that shocked him, rather than their content.
He was left with no choice but to ignore the messages: “I didn’t want to add fuel to the fire.”
Nußbaumer, like several other professional players, is under contract with the agency “L4K eSports”. They supported the player during this time and also took action against the comments, explains CEO Teoman Arslan: “We also spoke with the other players about the incident. They found it terrible but said they should stay out of it.”
Why play so defensively?
What was the problem? Anyone who watches the clip sees a player who plays the ball defensively for most of the time. At least for 40 seconds, Arslan emphasizes: “Only part of the match is shown. Krasi had six shots on goal during the game.”
On Nußbaumer’s side, there were five. So it truly wasn’t an offensive fireworks display, as Nußbaumer admits: “I play for safety and ball possession. I’m not someone who has 20 shots on goal but rather five or so. Those are also dangerous chances,” he explains. That’s how he always plays – not just against professionals.
Nußbaumer aims to repel as many shots on goal as possible
The priority for him as a professional here is the success, explains coach Dertli: “The most important thing is that we keep a clean sheet. That’s the motto. One will always get scoring chances,” he explains the tactic: It’s also about staying clear of the opponent’s pressing: “Of course, nobody plays for time on purpose; nobody does that intentionally.”
The match against Krasi was very challenging – no wonder, as Krasi is an established professional. According to Dertli, Nußbaumer also had five shots on goal, but they didn’t go in: “If all the chances had gone in, it would have been 5:0. Then he would have been playing offensively too, and it wouldn’t have mattered if we conceded another goal. But it was a match where nothing went in – and of course you are aiming for success.”
One must not let the lead slip away, which against players like Krasi is almost impossible: “Especially when one realizes that the game is heading in a strange direction. Then you must change your style of play. That distinguishes a casual player from a competitive player.”
However, no one expected such a backlash, especially since such a style of play isn’t necessarily unusual in the professional realm: “René made it to the qualification for the eBundesliga with this style of play. Tactical ball possession is not exploiting gameplay errors,” says Arslan. The completely opposite reaction to this style has also been experienced: “I played against a professional who I beat 30-0 in the last match. He did exactly the opposite, messaged me with ‘GG.'”
Now, the comments have died down, Nußbaumer shares. But it hasn’t been an easy experience.

The Duo mode has been long requested by players, as it fills a gap in team sizes and now allows for participation from solo to 4-player teams in all sizes.
Actually, the mode was supposed to come earlier, but the developers stated that some adjustments in balancing were needed before the Duo mode would go live. Now it is finally available.
This is what the mode offers: You can team up with a friend or be matched with a random player. Then you will be released in Verdansk, where you must defeat the other 2-player teams together.
Bonus XP for the Weekend in CoD Warzone
Additionally, there is more XP: Also starting today, May 29, 2020, is the last Double XP weekend of Season 3. During this time, you will earn double XP, double “Battle Pass” points, and double weapon XP.
What else is coming to Call of Duty: Warzone? The Duo mode is not the only innovation that players can expect in the upcoming weeks.
As the fourth season of Call of Duty: Warzone is about to begin soon. We will explain to you when Season 4 for Call of Duty: Warzone starts and what rumors, leaks, and facts have been circulating.

The Ligue 1 TOTSSF is now available in packs: After the Serie A TOTS, we now continue with the Team of the Season So Far of the first French league. The cards are available from today, May 29, at 7:00 PM in FIFA 20 Ultimate Team.
This is the Ligue 1 TOTSSF
The Ligue 1 TOTSSF
The strongest cards in the Ligue 1 TOTS: Absolute top cards in the Ligue 1 TOTS include: Mbappe (98), Neymar (98), Ben Yedder (97), and Di Maria (96). But Thiago Silva (95), Verrati (95), and Aouar (94) also receive really strong cards.
Ligue 1 TOTS starting lineup:
Mbappe (98)
Neymar (98)
Ben Yedder (97)
Di Maria (96)
Thiago Silva (95)
Verrati (95)
Aouar (94)

How to obtain cards from the Ligue 1 TOTSSF
Players in SBCs and objectives: In addition to the Ligue 1 TOTS, there are further TOTS cards available through Weekly Objectives and Squad Building Challenges:
CM: Gueye (93) – Weekly Objectives
CM: Golovin (89) – Weekly Objectives
LW: Payet (93) – SBC
TOTSSF cards in the Weekend League: Playing the Weekend League has rarely been so rewarding as it is now. Because for good performance, strong TOTSSF cards as rewards are up for grabs.
From 11 wins (Rank Silver 1), you already get strong TOTSSF cards, but there might also be some cards from the slightly weaker Monday team. However, to get a guaranteed Ligue-1 TOTS card, at least Rank Gold 2 must be achieved.
TOTSSF in packs: But you can also find TOTS players in packs, although you really need a lot of luck for that.
Therefore, it is often more worthwhile to buy the desired TOTS players on the FUT transfer market. But wait a bit here, because prices often drop significantly after a few days.

Shinys in Pokémon GO are a major highlight for almost every trainer. However, some are rarer than others. MyMMO presents the 15 Shinys that currently have the least players owning them.
This is shown by the list: This list is based on the assessments of MyMMO editor Noah Struthoff. The following things were taken into account:
Is the Shiny permanently available?
How rare is the Pokémon in general in the game?
Is the Pokémon only available through special actions in the game?
This was not considered: There are some Shinys that were only briefly available due to bugs in the game. For example, this includes the Pikachu with Detective Hat. The Shiny form was only available for 2 minutes and only through a snapshot.
The Shinys that we present to you here have all been officially introduced and are simply damn rare.
This is important: This is just a personal assessment. Of course, you may find other Shinys to be rarer. Ultimately, one can consider themselves lucky if they own all these Shinys.
The Rarest Shinys and What Makes Them Special
Rank 15 – Pionskora: Pionskora lands in this position. The Shiny came into the game through a Rocket event in March 2020. However, even there, the Pokémon appeared as a new Shiny quite rarely. So even at the introduction, one had poor chances of getting a Shiny.
With the end of the event, Pionskora became significantly rarer. Of the Shinys that can currently be caught in the normal way, Pionskora is likely one of the rarest Shinys.
Rank 14 – Burmy: For Burmy, it is especially difficult to possess all 3 forms. Each of the forms is available as Shiny, and outside of events, Burmy is quite rare.
Moreover, it seems that the sand form of Burmy can only be encountered in events in Germany. Those without luck there will have to wait until the next event. So, those who have all 3 forms of Burmy must have played a lot during events or been extremely lucky.
Rank 13 – Teddiursa: This Shiny represents all 3 Shinys, Teddiursa, Lampi, and Voltobal, that were introduced in the past Safari Zones. Those who had a ticket to these events likely have the Shinys, but probably the fewest trainers without tickets may own these Shinys.
Niantic did not hold a worldwide event for this Shiny, as is usually the case. The 3 Pokémon are also quite rare in the wild, especially Teddiursa.
Rank 12 – Botogel: This Shiny is only available around the Christmas season. Two years ago, Shiny Botogel was introduced at Christmas and has only returned during Christmas 2019 since then.
You can catch it for a few weeks each time, but then it disappears again and is gone for the entire year.
Rank 11 – Damhirplex: This Shiny was introduced at Christmas 2019 and could still wear bells around its neck. After Christmas, the bells disappeared, but Damhirplex has not appeared more frequently in any events either.
Only in nests can you still find Damhirplex quite often. However, if you don’t have any of these nests nearby, you have a very poor chance to find the rare Shiny.
Rank 10 – Meltan: The chance for Shiny Meltan occurred exactly twice. The normal form of this Pokémon can only be obtained from the Mystery Box, which you get by trading with one of the “Pokémon Let’s GO” games.
Only twice was the shiny form of Meltan available from this box for a few weeks. However, Shiny Meltan has been completely absent for over a year and is no longer available.
So, if you weren’t lucky enough to get a Shiny Meltan from a Mystery Box during those two short periods, you probably don’t own a Shiny Meltan yet.
Rank 9 – Nincada: Nincada is already extremely rare by itself and does not appear outside of events. Shiny Nincada was then introduced during the paid event “Modular Investigation”.
Those who paid €8.99 could complete special field research where, with a bit of luck, Shiny Nincada was involved. Those without a ticket could catch Nincada in the wild, but even there it was rare. Currently, it is not obtainable at all and is therefore likely even rarer.
Rank 8 – Makabaja: This is also a Pokémon that is only available during a special event: Halloween. It was introduced in 2019 and was only available for exactly 2 weeks. The spawn rate of Makabaja was weak even during the event, and one had to do quite a bit to get a Shiny.
After the event, Makabaja is now completely gone. It is said to be only available at Halloween. So we will have to wait until October for it to return.
Rank 7 – Pandir: This Pokémon is permanently available, but you can only obtain it from the quest “Land 5 great curveball throws in a row.” This field research is quite rare, and you can consider yourself lucky if you find it 2-3 times a week.
Furthermore, the quest is quite tricky, and in the end, a normal Pandir might be included. Therefore, you need to do the quest several times to obtain a Shiny.
Rank 6 – Alola-Knogga: This Shiny has been around for a while in Pokémon GO, but you can only obtain it from raids. Additionally, it is already quite rare in raids and likely has worse odds than legendary Pokémon.
It is particularly difficult because you need at least 2 trainers to take down Alola-Knogga. So you first have to find a teammate to defeat it. Furthermore, Alola-Knogga is not always included in the raid pool. Therefore, there are also periods when you cannot obtain it at all.
Rank 5 – Pantimimi: This Pokémon embodies two extremes: It is likely the rarest regional Shiny and the rarest shiny baby in the game.
Only trainers from Europe have a chance at Shiny Pantimimi. Moreover, it can only hatch from 5 km eggs, which have a large pool of Pokémon anyway.
Pantimimi can only be caught in Europe
Rank 4 – Praktibalk: This Shiny represents all Shinys that can only be obtained from 1-star raids or 10 km eggs. This includes Klikk and Sheinux, which are currently also included in the research breakthrough.
Praktibalk is the Shiny that was released most recently and is only available in 10 km eggs and raids. To have a really good chance of getting the Shiny, you have to do some raids, which heavily affects your raid passes. Furthermore, Praktibalk is not always included in the raids.
Rank 3 – Kaumalat: It is likely the rarest Shiny that can be permanently obtained in Pokémon GO. Kaumalat is already one of the rarest Pokémon in the game, and the chances of getting a Shiny are considerably smaller.
Rank 2 – Pikachu with Hat: If you want to catch all Hat-Pikachu, you need an incredible amount of luck. Most Hat-Pikachu are only available for a week, i.e. during the duration of a normal event.
However, there are also Hat-Pikachu that are even rarer. This includes, for example, the Pikachu with Summer Hat. This was only available for one day at a Pikachu event.
But there is also a special Hat-Pikachu that was only available at the last Safari Zones. Those who were not there may not own this special Shiny Pikachu.
Certain Hat-Pikachu and Pichu are the rarest Shinys in the game
Rank 1 – Pichu with Hat: Even rarer than Pikachu with Hat are the Pichu with Hat. They were available in the short timeframes like the Pikachu, but for this Shiny, you needed extra luck from the eggs.
Here you can take the Summer Hat Pichu as an example. It was only available for one day and had to be hatched as a Shiny. Since then, this Pichu has never returned.
How about you? Which of the Shinys do you have in your inventory? Let us know in the comments. In our Shiny list for Pokémon GO, you can find all available Shinys. There, you can also see which Shinys you still need in general.

A long-standing exploit in WoW Classic is finally being fixed. Anyone who continues to use it will find themselves immediately in the graveyard.
World of Warcraft Classic launched with some bugs and issues that were already known in the “Vanilla” days, but have become really popular today. This is particularly noticeable in PvP, as there are some players in the Warsong Gulch who like to go “out of the map” to become almost untouchable. Blizzard is now fixing this and ensuring a quick death for the characters.
What is the problem? In Warsong Gulch, players must capture the enemy team’s flag. One player is the flag carrier and must get to safety with the enemy’s flag until he can return it at his own control point.
By skillfully hopping or using certain abilities (like Blink for mages), it is possible to leave the actual game environment. This allows flag carriers to hide behind walls that players without this knowledge cannot reach.
In Warsong Gulch, there are some cheaters – but Blizzard is now taking action.
This is what Blizzard wants to change: The developers stated in a post that it is not always possible to simply place invisible walls. Instead, a different approach is being taken in Warsong Gulch. When players are in a location that cannot be reached by normal gameplay, those players will not be banned or anything like that.
Instead, players will now be in a deadly zone that kills their character after a few moments. This means that they will drop the enemy flag, which will automatically return to the enemy base after a few seconds.
Exploiting these glitches will no longer be worthwhile. While players can still “bug out of the map,” this will result in the immediate death of their character. This is certainly not helpful for their team.
Many problems remain: Even though Blizzard implements some of the community’s big wishes with this change, one problem persists. More and more realms are complaining about absurdly high numbers of multiboxer bots walking through the game world. Here, hopes are that Blizzard will finally enforce stricter measures, as some realms are even experiencing queues again, likely due to the high bot density.
What do you think about the change in Warsong Gulch? Good thing or should we leave all adjustments alone?

In a short clip, a player from Call of Duty: Warzone demonstrated great inner calm. 2 trucks raced directly towards him and he just managed to detonate a C4 package.
What happened? In a round of “BR 4-man” in Call of Duty: Warzone, the player “Watkinssss” approached an SUV to bomb the vehicle out of the match with a skillful C4 throw. Even this action looks very successful.
But apparently, the big brothers of the station wagon had something against this taunting. Just seconds later, the player finds himself confronted with 2 large trucks, both racing towards him almost side by side.
Presence of mind allows “Watkinssss” to throw another load of the plastic explosives at the approaching threat and blow it up. Just a few meters in front of him, C4 and trucks explode. A spectacular shock moment that the player even survived.
2 Trucks vs. 1 Player – Clear Winner
What did it look like? On reddit, “Watkinssss” shared the clip and shows a slightly shaky phone video, which hardly harms the quality of the action:

The trucks explode right in front of his face. If the C4 had detonated just a fraction of a second later, he would not have survived the attack. So it turned into a really intense clip, which gathered around 3,700 upvotes (May 29, 3 PM) in the “CoD: Warzone” subreddit.
Why did it work?The Damascus weapon skin shows that the player has a lot of experience in Modern Warfare and probably also in Warzone. The skillful C4 throw at the SUV further emphasizes this. He stayed cool, probably kept an eye on his mini-map, and was somewhat prepared to blow up more vehicles.
Additionally, the trucks had already taken some damage beforehand. In the video, you can see that at least the vehicle closer to him is already smoking a bit. Normally, a package of C4 or a shot from the rocket launchers in Warzone is not sufficient to take out a truck. Here he was lucky that the explosion of the C4 and the first truck also took the second truck into the air.
His survival was somewhat fortunate as well. He lost slightly more than his armor plates, despite the vehicles being really close to him. Here it was only centimeters that could have knocked him over.
What are the reactions like? Several commentators in the thread express their excitement over the thrilling clip:
Tabsalina: “Holy S*** Dude, I spilled my coffee”
KingTairon: “Wow ?”
gracemwx: “Woah Dude, that’s crazy ?”
Monoblueplayer: “What a nice clip. Too bad you don’t have it in HD.”
However, most of the over 200 comments do not revolve around the video.
Some want to know the setup of his assault rifle “Kilo 141”, but most discuss the effectiveness and power of C4. Many find it inappropriate and confusing that C4 does a lot of damage to vehicles, but is less effective against human enemies.
How do I destroy vehicles best? Most explosives in Warzone are very effective against vehicles. C4 is considered one of the best means to take down the sometimes pesky vehicles. But the rocket launchers also do a good job – Here are the best weapons and tactics against vehicles.

The aim assist on controllers for PC in Fortnite has been a topic of discussion, with some players calling for a nerf. A secret hotfix that has been rolled out is said to fulfill this request.
What happened in Fortnite? The Update 12.61 was rolled out on Tuesday, May 26. Epic announced changes to the aim assist for controllers on PC.
However, shortly after the update was implemented, players noticed that the aim assist was even stronger than before and had not been weakened. Many players were quite disappointed by this.
This has now been found: Data miner Lucas7yoshi found a hotfix that was supposedly rolled out on May 28 on Windows and Mac. He was able to see in the data that work was done on the aim assist.
These are the data he found:

The values have been reduced, indicating that the aim assist is now supposed to be weaker. It seems that Epic has indeed implemented the desired nerf, even if it happened very quietly.
According to the data miner, the changes are expected to take effect once the game is restarted or a new match is entered.
Epic did not communicate these changes, and it remains uncertain how this will affect the game. However, players will certainly notice a change once it has occurred.
Why do players want a nerf at all?
What do some players think about aim assist? The topic of controllers on PC has sparked quite a few discussions. Players using mouse and keyboard feel disadvantaged by it. When the first controller player won a tournament, they claimed it was solely due to aim assist.
However, the situation looked quite different during the Fortnite World Championship 2019. For that, mainly PC players qualified, who also play with mouse and keyboard. Among them, there were only a few who used a controller. Nevertheless, a 15-year-old player came in second place by pushing through with his controller.

The Oden is one of the weapons in Call of Duty: Warzone that is used rather infrequently. However, a YouTuber found a setup that makes it very powerful. MeinMMO shows you how to recreate the build.
What kind of build is this? The strong Oden build allows you to take down entire enemy squads at long distances with the assault rifle, even though you have to work with a smaller magazine.
The build aims to stretch enemies to the ground with few and slow shots and requires relatively good precision. It focuses entirely on damage and range while neglecting mobility.
In terms of effectiveness, it lies somewhere between DMRs and assault rifles. YouTuber jackfrags uses this build to kill enemies one by one, sometimes surprising them so much that they cannot even defend themselves.
The Oden – a powerful weapon that is difficult to use.
Despite the fact that the Oden ranks 4th in the comparison of all assault rifles for Warzone , hardly anyone uses it. The main reason is its low rate of fire and consequently relatively high TTK. However, jackfrags’ build turns it into a real monster.
Here is how to recreate it: For the build, you need five attachments at the gunsmith. Equip the following slots:
Muzzle: Suppressor (Colossus)
Barrel: Oden Factory 810mm
Laser: 5mW Laser
Optic: VLK 3.0x Scope
Underbarrel: Merc Foregrip
The “Max Damage” build for the Oden.
You will only obtain the suppressor and the optic relatively late with the weapon at higher levels. You don’t necessarily need the optic, and a smaller optic works as a stopgap. However, the suppressor is quite important. Substitute the suppressor with the patterned grip tape (Grip) until you unlock it.
These are the strengths of the build: Since the build focuses entirely on damage and range, you can easily kill players even at longer distances without them being able to counter you. You can take them out with just a few bullets.
Despite the limited ammunition of 20 rounds, this is sufficient even with some bullets not hitting the target for consecutive players. Jackfrags shows in his video how efficient the weapon is:

What are the weaknesses? The weaknesses become apparent at very long distances (against sniper rifles) and at very short distances. While the laser helps when storming a house, you should rather opt for other weapons.
You also need relatively good aim as you have limited shots available, and the recoil of the Oden is quite strong. Especially if you are not used to playing it this way, this could cost you a few fights. CoD expert TheXclusiveAce has developed a warm-up training for Warzone to help you improve your aim.

This approach, however, was ignored by the players until the last two rounds. They did manage to win round 8 again, where G2 also used possibly the weakest operator, and the crucial round 9 was quite close. However, the switch to a slower play style came simply too late.
Tip: How to avoid mistakes yourself
You can learn a lot from the mistake that mYinsanity made. A useful rule of thumb to keep in mind whenever you’re stuck is:
If you find yourself in a situation against a seemingly stronger opponent with a strong tactic, do not copy them. Observe what they are doing and choose a tactic that directly counters theirs.
You may not win all subsequent rounds, but you’ll force the opponent to change their own tactic – and possibly to choose one that they are not as proficient in, which you can exploit to win.
The match between G2 and mYinsanity had an expected outcome, as did those of the other teams of the GSA League on the third match day. There weren’t really any major surprises, except for the highlight match FACT against Team Secret:
The next match days will remain exciting, and it will be interesting to see if FACT Gaming can eliminate its last remaining professional competitor, G2 Esports, next week on June 4. If that happens, the German newcomers have a good chance at taking first place, although according to an interview, they do not even see themselves among the top 3. Those are G2 Esports, Rogue, and Team Secret.
GameStar and MeinMMO are media partners for this year’s league for Rainbow Six: Siege in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria. We will regularly report on our websites and channels about the league, matches, and teams in the coming weeks and months.
mYinsanity tried to keep up with G2’s pace. Although mYinsanity is a strong team, they are outmatched by G2 at this level. Sua says:
mYinsanity simply made this one mistake: They tried to keep up instead of […] playing more passively. They wanted to try to step on the gas too. And then we just run over them.
How could it have been better? The better tactic for mYinsanity would have been to adapt to the opponents and play against their tactics instead of trying to copy them. Against G2’s speed, the Swiss should have actually been “the stone wall”.
mYinsanity even managed to win two rounds precisely by this approach. Already in the second round, they played more passively and defended their points against G2, thereby winning. Instead of playing fast against G2, they waited for opportunities and seized them, as seen here at the end of the round:
This approach, however, was ignored by the players until the last two rounds. They did manage to win round 8 again, where G2 also used possibly the weakest operator, and the crucial round 9 was quite close. However, the switch to a slower play style came simply too late.

The results of the third match day
The match between G2 and mYinsanity had an expected outcome, as did those of the other teams of the GSA League on the third match day. There weren’t really any major surprises, except for the highlight match FACT against Team Secret:

mYinsanity tried to keep up with G2’s pace. Although mYinsanity is a strong team, they are outmatched by G2 at this level. Sua says:
mYinsanity simply made this one mistake: They tried to keep up instead of […] playing more passively. They wanted to try to step on the gas too. And then we just run over them.
How could it have been better? The better tactic for mYinsanity would have been to adapt to the opponents and play against their tactics instead of trying to copy them. Against G2’s speed, the Swiss should have actually been “the stone wall”.
mYinsanity even managed to win two rounds precisely by this approach. Already in the second round, they played more passively and defended their points against G2, thereby winning. Instead of playing fast against G2, they waited for opportunities and seized them, as seen here at the end of the round:
This approach, however, was ignored by the players until the last two rounds. They did manage to win round 8 again, where G2 also used possibly the weakest operator, and the crucial round 9 was quite close. However, the switch to a slower play style came simply too late.
Tip: How to avoid mistakes yourself
You can learn a lot from the mistake that mYinsanity made. A useful rule of thumb to keep in mind whenever you’re stuck is:
If you find yourself in a situation against a seemingly stronger opponent with a strong tactic, do not copy them. Observe what they are doing and choose a tactic that directly counters theirs.
You may not win all subsequent rounds, but you’ll force the opponent to change their own tactic – and possibly to choose one that they are not as proficient in, which you can exploit to win.

Actually, the third match day of the GSA League in Rainbow Six Siege went pretty much as expected by most. However, one of the matches could have turned out quite differently if the professionals had been a bit more attentive.
Who are the professionals? It concerns the Swiss champion, the pro team mYinsanity. They faced the international pro team G2 Esports on the third match day of the GSA League – and lost 7:2. This is now the third 7:2 victory for G2.
Both the league commentators and G2’s analyst and coach, Kevin “Sua” Stahnke, agreed: It shouldn’t have gone that way. What went wrong?
Sua (right) and Verdi in conversation.
G2 against mYinsanity – The professionals’ mistake
How did the match go? The two teams faced off on the map Border. It was quite clear early in the match that G2 was better positioned. The players coordinated well and set a tremendous pace.
They didn’t play with risky rush tactics but rather with steady and intense pressure. They cleared vital paths and quickly pushed back and overwhelmed their opponents.
You can watch the entire match in the following video, starting at about hour 3:20:00:
What did mYinsanity do wrong? The major mistake of the team was discussed by commentators Verdi and Argony during the match. Subsequently, analyst Sua confirmed what had gone wrong:

True love among gamers – does it exist? A new app aims to help unite lonely players.
Have you ever thought while gaming in front of the console or PC: “Somehow it’s a bit lonely here in the apartment”? After all, gaming – with a few exceptions – is not exactly the perfect place to find a partner.
But there will soon be an app specifically for this problem that targets lonely gamers. The “Kippo” app will be basically the “Tinder for gamers”. At least, that’s the plan.
What is Kippo? With Kippo, gamers can provide many different details on their profile. Not only can one specify their favorite games, but also provide more detailed information for individual games. Here are a few examples:
This way, you can filter out all the Ahri fanboys and Squirtle fans and focus only on the people who make the correct choice (namely Charmander).
In Kippo, gamers can set a lot.
Similar to Tinder, you can then rate the profiles with a “Yes” or “No”. If the respective user also replies with “Yes”, you get in touch and may have found a new (gaming) partner for life – or at least for a session.
Also intended for gaming friends: However, Kippo is not only designed to find that one great gamer love. The app should also be suitable for simply finding players who share the same interests. If you currently have no one to play Stardew Valley with, you might find a suitable gaming partner for a new game save or new friends for a dungeon visit in World of Warcraft. Particularly tanks and healers will probably find many “matches” there quickly.
So, if you mainly game alone and want some company, whether just for gaming or perhaps for a longer-term relationship, you might want to give Kippo a chance.

To stay exciting, Call of Duty: Warzone wants to continue evolving. However, Infinity Ward only gives vague hints as to which direction it is going. Data miners are further along and speculate about a dam break in Verdansk.
How could the map change? In recent weeks, there have been many speculations about what could change in Verdansk, the large map of the battle royale Call of Duty: Warzone. Data findings and vague statements from developers have led to several theories. Here are the most prominent:
The map will feature underground elements and the bunkers in Verdansk will play a larger role
In addition to the theories, which all make sense but are by no means certain, there is now another option. This one seems even more likely than the previous speculations due to the data – the destruction of the dam.
Game data indicates dam destruction in Verdansk due to a flood
What suggests a dam break? “TheGamingRevolution” is considered one of the most active leakers of the current “Call of Duty” installment and has already accurately shared the right information beforehand several times.
He recently released a total of 3 videos on YouTube within the last week with almost an hour of information about what the nuclear bunker 11 is all about and how the Warzone map could change in the near future.
He is quite sure that the dam has something to do with the changes. Here is his English video that shows the leaks about the dam break:

He bases his assumption on findings of numerous audio and animation files in the game data. The small YouTube channel “Geek Gaming Squad” pointed him to files, and thanks to several unnamed data miners, he found dozens of files that provide rather clear hints. Here are a few examples:
Almost 40 files with the addition “flood”
flood_angry_flood_bigwave0
flood_convoy_checkpoint_radio
floot_streets_stop_sign
In line with the indicators for changes to the map due to a flood, data miners found additional files that indicate destruction of some map objects, although not directly related to water damage:
15 files that clearly indicate destruction
vfx_nml_church_collaps
ee_dam_piece_road_bord_corner_03_frontend
In summary, the leaker is quite confident that the dam will play a central role in the changes to the map. Specifically, “TheGamingRevolution” states that the dam will be shot at with rockets, causing parts of the map to be flooded.
Many files for this are already in the game, and also in one official photo, a raging flood seems to be pressing against the dam in the background.
An official Warzone image. Behind the dam, there seems to be significantly more water than currently.
The developments around the dam remain exciting. It is still completely unclear what the wolf howling means that you can sometimes hear near the dam.
So is the dam break coming with Season 4? That cannot be said for sure yet. The data from the leak show quite precisely what might happen. However, how or if these files will actually be used remains open for now. As soon as there are new updates, you will find them here on MeinMMO.
What else might we expect with Season 4? Meanwhile, some hints and rumors about Season 4 have emerged. Some through leaks, some through glitches, and the Season 4 teaser has also fueled speculation. The following modes could soon be available to you:
The prospects for variety in Season 4 are therefore good. However, Infinity Ward tends to remain rather quiet and provides little information. The release of Warzone was only confirmed shortly before its release. Here you can find all the facts, leaks, and rumors we already know about Season 4.

If you encounter this skin in Fortnite you can assume that there is a player behind it who plays a lot of Fortnite.This is now causing trouble for Fortnite players, as they find the unlock too harsh.
What kind of skin is this? In Fortnite Season 2 Chapter 2, you can unlock a gold variant for the Battle Pass Skins However, these are only available once you reach a certain level in Fortnite. This particular skin is the golden variant of Agent Peely.
The golden banana is only available from Level 350
Player calculates how difficult it really is
What does it take to unlock the skin? A player has now calculated how many experience points you need to unlock the golden Agent Peely. He shows how many hours per day you would need to play to secure the unlock within a limited-time season.
In his calculation, the player zMuska assumes that you started at Level 1 and did not buy any level from the Battle Pass. He created an overview of this and posted it on reddit.
Here are the results from the calculations:
It takes a total of 29.5 million experience points for the golden banana
15.9 million XP must be earned separately in matches (no challenges, medal stamping cards, or daily missions)
You would need to play 19 hours per day if you win Team matches
It would be 6 hours per day for Team matches where you focus on looting
3 hours per day if you play squad matches
Since the rounds need to go “well” or successfully, one expects a longer match time, which then impacts the amount of play hours. Additionally, only the hours in which you are in a match are calculated here. Loading times do not count towards this.
However, one player has managed to reach Level 530 already, and it is assumed that he holds the highest level in Fortnite.
How do players react to these calculations? Under the reddit post by zMuska, players complain about the XP system of Season 2. They do not seem to like that so much time must be invested to unlock a skin. They say:
“Even though it is not impossible, it is still not okay. It encourages players to play an unhealthy amount. And for what? A skin they probably won’t use after that.”
“In summary … you can’t unlock it unless you bought the entire Battle Pass at the start or have no life.”
“That is absurd.”
“I never realized that the (XP) system is that bad.”
It is not easy to obtain the golden Agent Peely, and it is likely that some of us will not succeed. But for all players who are close to it, there is a good chance to unlock him now. Epic has extended the end of Season 2 by another week.

Are you experiencing Error NP 37602 8 on PlayStation 4 or YouTube issues on the PS4? MeinMMO explains what you can do about it.
What is this error? If you are trying to watch YouTube on the PS4 via the official app, you may currently see an error message.
You will then see the PS4 NP-37602-8 Error Code and cannot start YouTube on the PlayStation 4. In our article, we explain what this error means and what you can do about it.
PS4 YouTube Error NP 37602 8 – What does the error code mean?
When does the error occur? The error occurs whenever you have linked your YouTube account with your PSN account and then try to start the YouTube app on the PS4.
Some users also complain that they suddenly got logged out while using YouTube and can no longer log in. When trying to log in manually, the Error NP-37602-8 appears.
Is there already an official solution? So far, it is suspected that the PlayStation 4 cannot verify the link between your accounts, therefore generating an error. Google and Sony have not yet commented on this.
So far, neither Sony nor Google (the company behind YouTube) has been able to solve the problem. However, there are currently two ways you can still watch YouTube videos on the PS4.
PS4 YouTube NP 37602 8 – What you can do about it
1. Method: The easiest way is to manually search for videos on YouTube without signing in. It’s simple and straightforward, but you won’t have access to your saved videos or playlists.
Advantage: conceivable simplest method if you don’t want to miss YouTube.
Disadvantage: Your searches and videos will not be saved
2. Method: The second way is a bit more complicated: If you have started the YouTube app on your smartphone, you can send your videos directly to the PS4. This is called casting.
To do this, click on the cast icon in the app, which looks like a Wi-Fi symbol, and select your PS4 here. For this to work, both your PS4 and your smartphone need to be on the same network.
This is more complicated, but you can still access your playlists and videos. In addition, your searches will be saved.
Advantage: Your videos and searches will be saved since you are logged in via your smartphone.
Disadvantage: A somewhat more cumbersome method, and your PS4 and smartphone must be on the same Wi-Fi network.
If you are a PS Plus subscriber, you can look forward to next month. Because PS Plus June 2020 includes two great shooters, after many players were rather disappointed with PS Plus in May.

In Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO), the winners of a Finnish tournament organized by Red Bull have now been banned. The problem: An update had put the cheat detection out of action and it was only after the cheaters’ victory that it became known that they were using aim assist.
This is the tournament: Red Bull is currently organizing a CS:GO tournament for duos. They are holding national tournaments in various countries to determine the best players.
Tournaments like these are particularly important in CS:GO. While esports for the shooter are incredibly popular and lucrative, this is only true for so-called “Tier 1” teams, the best teams in the world. Below the elite, there are few opportunities to make money with CS:GO.
However, there were irregularities in the tournament in Finland.
The community suspects the winners are cheaters
This is what the players are accused of: The winners of the tournament were two Finns. After their victory, they were supposed to represent Finland at the next level of the tournament.
However, other Finnish players raised suspicions that the two players had cheated. It was particularly striking that their crosshairs repeatedly jerked towards opponents. Observers noted this behavior looked quite similar to an aimbot.
This shows the suspicious behavior of the crosshairs.
In the comments of a YouTube video with over 177,000 views, players spoke of an obvious “aimlock.” YouTube users are appalled that the game took place at all. The cheating was so obvious that the match should have been canceled.
This is what happened afterward: The company FACEIT, which organized the tournament for Red Bull, has now reported that the two winners were later banned. Apparently, there were issues with its own “anti-cheat” system:
FACEIT says that there was a release last week that rendered some types of cheat detections inactive
Now a new update has been deployed, which has led to a “delayed” ban of the 2 cheaters and 80 other players
The two caught cheaters were disqualified and the runners-up advance to the next round.
This is the problem: The solution isn’t really fair because the cheaters eliminated teams that lost their chance to qualify.
The cheaters won against Jamppi, a well-known CS:GO pro. If they had lost the match, he would have remained in the tournament and had a chance to qualify for the further tournament progression.
FACEIT apologizes to all players who were directly affected by the incident (via faceit).
This is Elias “Jamppi” Olkkonnen (right).
We reported on the Finn Jamppi and his special story on MeinMMO. He sold his account at the age of 14 to a friend, who used it to cheat.
Do gaming and beer actually go together? According to a study, this is quite common in Europe.
Alcohol and gaming – for many, this simply doesn’t mix. After all, many games are competitive and require peak performance. One’s aim in Call of Duty is likely to deteriorate with increasing inebriation, and “overestimating oneself” is usually not a good idea in “Mythic+” dungeons from World of Warcraft.
But is a cozy beer during a round of Minecraft or a farming session also frowned upon? At least one study now suggests: No, some players indulge in this.
What kind of study is this? At Newzoo, a comprehensive survey on consumption behavior was conducted, directly asking gamers about their habits. While some of the results are not surprising, others might be quite shocking.
What does the study say? The study concludes that nearly 80% of all gamers eat or drink something while engaging in their hobby. However, it also includes cases where someone is just casually drinking water or tea. Therefore, it’s not surprising that during long gaming sessions, some individuals treat themselves to a drink.
Beer while gaming is popular – especially in Europe
Men like beer while gaming: In Europe, beer often appears on the drink list. While only 15% of gamers in America enjoy a beer while playing, it’s 18% in Europe.
However, the notable difference between men and women in Europe is striking:
24% of men regularly drink a beer while playing.
For women, it’s only 12%.

This difference between men and women is significant across all regions, but nowhere is it greater than in Europe. The study currently offers no answer as to why this gender disparity exists.
So if you think next time, “Oh God, I’m munching through three bags of chips again, I’ve lost control over my life!”, don’t worry about it. You belong to the 80% majority. However, you have still lost control over your life.
What do you think about beer while gaming? Clear yes or does it simply not fit the “performance thought” that is necessary in many games?

The casino of GTA 5 Online has strict rules. A video now shows what happens when you don’t follow the rules. Anyone misbehaving will be thrown out brutally.
However, strict house rules are in place at the casino, enforced by security personnel. A new video circulating on reddit shows how this looks.
This is how roughly you get kicked out of the casino if you misbehave
This is what a player did in the casino: reddit user santosrmrz writes: “My friend told me that you can get kicked out of the casino. I didn’t believe him until now […].
He released a video showing the player in the lobby of the casino in GTA Online. In it, he uses his phone in-game to randomly photograph visitors.

After he took the fourth photo with his smartphone, a cutscene suddenly appears.
Two security personnel carry the player’s character and walk towards the camera. Only to throw him upright onto the ground to make it clear that his behavior is not welcome.
Why does this happen? Taking pictures of people is probably not well received in the casino. This could be related to the fact that you are supposed to photograph people for the casino heist. It seems quite conspicuous when someone pulls out their phone and starts taking pictures of everything.
In the YouTube video by Craga, you can see him trying to go through a door he actually doesn’t have access to. A security staff member is standing warningly next to him. Eventually, he gets thrown out of the casino for this action.

As players report, being kicked out has no lasting disadvantages. You can enter the casino again afterwards. Your chances of winning the podium vehicle with this method are therefore not in danger.
It is one of the rare moments when you hear the voice of the online character. They are usually mute and say nothing. In the scene, however, you at least hear an “Ow” sound.
You can try this: If you also want to get kicked out of the casino, you can grab your smartphone and take pictures of the guests.
Another method is to repeatedly try to enter the VIP area or other restricted zones.

One of the tested gear sets (the new Foundry Bullwark) was too powerful and broken in PvP and will be revised again in Phase 2

The Division 2 has recently been noted for bugs and balance issues. However, the feedback on the PTS is quite positive.
PTS Phase 2 tests further changes – Here’s how you can participate

Adjustment of the gear set Foundry Bullwark
Balance of exotic items (most Exotics have received a buff to keep up with other weapons)

The Twitch streamer DrDisrespect is excited about the aim assist in Call of Duty: Warzone. He even takes out his opponents blind and demonstrates the power of this feature.
This is what DrDisrespect tested: Normally, the streamer does not use a controller in Warzone, but this time he connected his controller and wanted to test the difference.
He noticed a significant difference due to the aim assist. DrDisrespect found it easier to eliminate his opponents with the controller and even achieved a blind kill to demonstrate the strength of the aim assist.
Aim Assist Helps DrDisrespect Achieve a Blind Kill
This is what he says about the mechanic: In the stream, DrDisrespect was asked what he thinks about aim assist after playing for some time with the controller.

He replied that it feels like a magnetic field around the target. He feels that the flinch effect (the reaction of his character to being hit) is less intense due to the assist. This way, he can maintain better control and has an advantage in firefights compared to players without aim assist.
Here he impresses: DrDisrespect then demonstrates again how strong the aim assist really is. In another clip, he first takes out an enemy who hits him a few times and then says, “I don’t even have to look at the guy […] once I’m on him, I don’t have to worry anymore.”.
He demonstrates this with another enemy, whom he hears and suspects is about to come around the corner. He aims at the enemy and then looks away.

Even though his opponent is moving, the streamer can still aim. He executes his “no-look kill” and feels confirmed in his analysis.
Why is it suddenly so easy? DrDisrespect usually plays CoD Warzone with mouse and keyboard. Aiming is indeed faster here, but there is no aim assist.
To ensure that controller players do not have a huge disadvantage, there is aim assist here. It keeps the aim somewhat steady on the target, and those who are especially used to aiming with a mouse and keyboard noticeably feel a significant difference.
These settings can help you: Anyone who adjusts their settings in the game can also gain some advantages. You can set your sound settings to hear footsteps louder and thus anticipate enemies better.
But you can also adjust a lot in the aim assist to take advantage of it optimally. We have summarized that in an article and also debunked all myths surrounding the mechanic. So if you want to play effectively with aim assist, you should take a look.

Per season, it is possible to create one character.
The Seasons are intended to allow you to reach the endgame faster and have to grind less. Therefore, there is bonus XP.
