The football professional Sergio Agüero is currently streaming FIFA 20 and had clear words about the packs in FIFA Ultimate Team during a broadcast.
Who is it about? The footballer Sergio Agüero is known as a professional of the Argentine national team and as a player for Manchester City in the Premier League.
Since the Premier League is currently on pause, the professional, like various teammates, has turned to livestreaming. Agüero is streaming FIFA 20 Ultimate Team.
What the professional says about the card packs
What happened? Agüero played together with Eduardo Salvia, an Argentine football colleague. They talked about “FUT teams” and Agüero explained to him how he gets good players for his team.
This was all communicated in Spanish and translated by reddit user josesaabz. He said:
If you want colorful cards, you have to buy FIFA Points with your credit card, man. That’s how it is. Expect nothing from EA Sports, as they will give you nothing. If they gave me these 2 cards, then imagine [what they would give you].

So he says that even the professionals in FIFA 20 don’t receive any real special treatment and have to buy the good cards themselves. He immediately tells his Argentine colleague that he shouldn’t expect too much. If even the star Agüero only gets 2 good cards, the lesser-known player should not have high hopes.
The reddit user josesaabz also adds: Agüero has already complained about EA because they still haven’t given him his Pro Player Card with 99 rating. And this, even though he has been streaming FIFA for some time now.
The professional player Christopher “Parasite” Duarte was fired by his team in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. The reason: He hit on the wrong woman. This was already his 31st team, and he soon showed deep regret.
Who is it about? Parasite is one of the better players in Call of Duty e-sports. In 2013 he won the CoD Championship in Black Ops 2 with his team and has since had repeated successes, most recently in the Call of Duty Challengers (Week 4) in Los Angeles, where he took first place (via liquipedia).
According to a 2019 documentary by Dexerto, Parasite is the “most hated CoD player.” Some players suspect this is because he is the stereotypical gamer: overweight, glasses, moody, and a bad loser. We have embedded the documentary here for you:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0t49Kxq5a8
Parasite has already been through numerous teams. As the US site Dexerto reports, he has been in 31 different teams over the past seven years. The latest of these dismissed him only on April 26 – and it was because of a woman.
What did he do? Parasite competed with the team WestR in the Call of Duty Challengers (CDC) Chicago Open 2020.
Parasite managed to make it to the finals with his team, where they lost to Team Singularity. However, shortly after the games, his teammate Alex “Zapitus” Bonilla accused him of hitting on his girlfriend during the tournament via private messages.
This led to a dispute that ultimately resulted in Parasite having to leave the team. He indirectly announced this by marketing himself as a “free agent.”
Pro shows regret: “I deserve the hate”
In a now-deleted post, Parasite says that he deserves all the hate. He threw away a friendship and a top-2 challenger team for something “so stupid.”
In further tweets, he talks about not having thought clearly. It was a mistake, and he wants to focus on the future and finding a new team (via Twitter). The CoD e-sports remain his goal.
Advice from an Overwatch analyst, MonteCristo, may have helped Parasite. He suggested that after a player was banned for sexual harassment, one should first masturbate before tweeting. This could help avoid embarrassing mistakes.

The streamer shroud is among the best shooter players in the world. However, he is also excited about WoW Classic. For a raid in Blackwing Lair, shroud even hired an expensive private jet, as he mentioned in the livestream.
But even after the release phase, WoW Classic did not let him go.
At the release of Blackwing Lair, a raid instance from Phase 3 of WoW Classic, shroud rented a private jet to quickly get from Las Vegas to Los Angeles and participate in it. He wanted to be among the first attempts. shroud lives in Southern California, so he probably wanted to make it home in time with the flight.
shroud in front of the private jet he flew to a WoW raid (Source: Instagram).
Flight costs shroud $13,000
What does shroud say? In a livestream together with Justin “Just9n” Ortiz, they discussed the costs of air travel, bringing up the topic of private jets.
shroud then shared live about his first experiences with a jet:
It was really incredibly awesome […].
You know, I only did this to participate in my WoW raid. No other flight would allow me to attend my WoW raid, except with a private jet.
I could have booked a regular flight, but I needed to get to my WoW raid; after all, it was the release day of BWL.
How expensive was the trip? After this brief excursus, his streaming colleague “Just9n” asked if he had rented the jet and how much the trip had cost.
According to shroud, the rental of the jet cost $6,600 per hour. The flight lasted two hours, so the BWL raid cost the streamer about $13,000.
At least drinks and food were included on board.

Alternatively, the trip with a regular flight would have cost him about $1,500. But with that, he would have arrived too late for the raid, as he revealed later in the livestream.
Why does shroud spend so much money? His counterpart “Just9n” called him a nerd in the livestream and deemed him crazy for spending so much money on a raid.
Thus, the move to Mixer has certainly been financially worthwhile for both of them. In return, however, they have noticeably lost viewers. During special events, like the Twitch Drops for Valorant, this becomes especially apparent.

The WoW player DesMephisto is known for bringing a large number of characters in the MMORPG to level 120. Now it is already 46 – and all have the same class. Moreover, he drew attention to the organization Autistic Self Advocacy Network (ASAN) with a new Twitch streaming record.
What has DesMephisto achieved?In April 2019, MeinMMO reported that the player has brought 29 characters in the MMORPG World of Warcraft to the current maximum level of 120.
In August, there were already 41. In the meantime, this number has risen to 46. These are only characters that have the Warrior class.
He always plays one male and one female character of the same race as Warriors and levels them to level 120. So he has:
Why does the player do this? Allegedly, it has a meditative effect on him and is calming, as can be read on reddit. Moreover, the Warrior is simply his favorite class and one of the few classes in WoW that can be played by every race. They are also quite popular: In our list of the most popular classes, the Warrior ranks at number 4.
The Tauren Warrior Moosejuggs is one of the 46 characters that WoW player DesMephisto has brought to level 120.
Streaming for a Good Cause
What else did the player achieve? But that’s not the only thing he accomplished. On April 24, he broke the previous record in WoW live streaming on Twitch, which stood at 32 hours and 36 minutes.
DesMephisto managed to stream for around 36 hours. That is a new record.
Why did he do this? DesMephisto did not just want to break the previous record; with his livestream, he wanted to raise awareness for autism. He is himself autistic, as he says, and therefore collected donations for the organization Autistic Self Advocacy Network (ASAN) during the stream.
A total of $2,750 in donations were raised. A video of the entire stream has been embedded here for you:
Who is DesMephisto, anyway? The player is quite well known in the WoW community, known as “the crazy one who loves to play Warriors”.
He has basically perfected leveling new characters in WoW and developed a routine. Since he is autistic himself, he loves habits and optimizations. You can find his achievements in the MeinMMO article on the craziest achievements in WoW of all time.

In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare a nasty bug is making the rounds, which could provide an unfair advantage. We will show you the problem.
This is the glitch: This error allows you to start a round before all other players. You have about 10 seconds of lead time and can walk to the enemy spawn to shoot them immediately.
This gives you a nasty advantage and especially in the right game modes this can be game-deciding.
Players show nasty glitch – Developers promise improvement
This is the glitch: The error itself has been in the game for several days. For example, 3 days ago, the reddit user “koopabeach” posted about the error he was able to benefit from:

Here the error is particularly severe: In matches where there is a respawn, you cannot decide entire rounds at least. In other modes like “Search and Destroy” this glitch is game-deciding. You can directly eliminate a whole enemy team and claim victory just because you spawned 10 seconds before everyone else.
This was shown by a Twitter user:

How does the glitch occur? This is not quite clear. Several players report that they suddenly managed to start a round before everyone else. There does not seem to be a precise principle behind it.
What is being done against the glitch? Already last week Infinity Ward commented on this bug. Joe Cecot, the Co-Design Director of Infinity Ward, stated that the bug is awful, but they currently have no solution for it.
Even a week later, there seems to be no improvement regarding this error. So it might well be that you suddenly start a round before everyone else. However, you might also be disadvantaged and be taken out immediately upon spawning, so be vigilant right at the start of the round.
If you want to be successful in multiplayer, then we show you 3 quick tips for that.

There are games set in the Warhammer universe across various genres, and they enjoy great popularity among players. Currently, a new mobile MMORPG called Odyssey is in development. This reveals new details in a video.
What kind of game is this? Warhammer Odyssey will be a free-to-play MMORPG by Virtual Realms. It will be released for Android and iOS, but is not supposed to play like a typical mobile MMORPG.
Odyssey forgoes auto-play and is intended to be more in line with the gameplay of PC MMORPGs. The focus is on PvE and playing in small groups, although there are also plans for PvP that have not been published yet.
The game takes you to iconic places such as:
Marienburg
Drakwald Forest
Wasteland
In a new video, the developers gave a first glimpse into the character editor of the game. However, it is somewhat limited even by mobile standards.
The new Warhammer MMORPG is also intended to be pleasantly dark.
A limited editor
What do you see in the video? In the character editor, you have the choice between 6 classes, each automatically tied to a race:
Archmage – Elf
Shadow Warrior – Elf
Witch Hunter – Human
Warrior Priest – Human
Slayer – Dwarf
Engineer – Dwarf
You can customize your character in 8 different settings, but you always have a limited selection. For example, the Warrior Priest only has 5 different faces available. The editor is therefore by no means as extensive as in Black Desert or similar titles.
https://youtu.be/Wc1qm_q0cno
What is the mood like under the video? Even though there are few customization options, the video is well received by viewers. Many express great anticipation for the new Warhammer title.
Especially the Warrior Priest class is praised for being iconic in the old PC MMORPG Age of Reckoning.
Finally another Warhammer MMORPG
Anticipation despite Mobile? Odyssey will be a mobile MMORPG and this genre is often frowned upon in the West. It is often equated with pay-to-win and autoplay.
However, the new Warhammer game is currently well received. A video introducing Marienburg, the capital of Odyssey, currently has nearly 20,000 views and only 29 dislikes (as of April 27).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifpA4fQu4y8
In general, there is a lot of interest in a new Warhammer MMORPG, as the private server “Return of Reckoning” shows. The game that was closed in 2013 is currently experiencing a massive boom, partly due to more and more Twitch streamers and YouTubers becoming aware of the server.
It is quite possible that a well-made mobile MMORPG in this universe will be received positively.
When will Odyssey be released: In an update regarding the current Corona pandemic (via Twitter), the developers announced that a beta is currently planned for the first half of 2020.
In FIFA 20 there is now a new special card of Leon Goretzka that can boast values at Icon level. If you have a Bundesliga team, you should definitely scrape together some coins, however the card is not cheap.
Leon Goretzka was able to raise 3.9 million euros for charitable purposes together with teammate Joshua Kimmich through a joint Corona relief campaign. For this engagement, EA Sports introduced a new Goretzka card in FIFA 20 Ultimate Team.

This is the Goretzka card: The new Player Moments card of Goretzka is extremely strong with a 91 rating and should be welcomed in any Bundesliga team. It has outstanding values and can keep up with the strongest cards in the game.
You can unlock it through a Squad Building Challenge (SBC) that has no expiration date. So you can take your time. However, the only downside of this top card is the price: The SBC costs around 545,000 coins (PS4, as of April 27) and thus is quite an amount.
Is the Goretzka card worth it?
This is what the card can do: The new special card of Leon Goretzka has values in the endgame range. All stats of his card have no value below 80, and the values even tend to scratch the 90 mark. With Player Moments Goretzka, you get a complete midfielder that can be used excellently offensively, centrally, or even defensively.
The two best cards of Leon Goretzka
Compared to his previous top card, his 88 UCL live version, there are some very strong improvements. The new Moments card especially features grand values in the areas of shooting (90), passing (89), and dribbling (91).
The biggest jumps compared to his also very strong RTTF card occur in the following areas:
Speed: 85 -> 89
Shooting: 85 -> 90
Dribbling: 86 -> 91
This is how you make the card even stronger: You get the most out of the card when you use the chem style “Engine”. This boosts speed, passing, and dribbling to nearly maximum values.
Detailed stats with chem style “Engine”
If you prefer to play Goretzka slightly more defensively as a CDM, the chem style “Anchor” is recommended. There, especially the defensive abilities are boosted.
Here’s why you should get the card: If you play a Bundesliga team and only want the best players, then the new Goretzka card is a must. With its absolute top values, it even outperforms 91 Icon Zinedine Zidane. The only disadvantage is Goretzka’s skill moves and weak foot compared to Zidane.
Goretzka can even keep up with top icons
How to get the card
This is what you need to do: You have to complete 3 SBC tasks to secure the new Goretzka card. These are anything but cheap and require many strong cards. If you still have a few strong untradeable cards in the club, the price can be slightly reduced.
Task 1 – Germany
The following requirements must be met:
German players: At least 1
Inform card: 1
Team rating: At least 86
Team chemistry: At least 70
Number of players: 11
This is what the solution could look like:
The solution costs you about 155,000 coins (PS4)
Task 2 – Bundesliga
The following requirements must be met:
Players from Bundesliga: At least 1
Inform card: 1
Team rating: At least 86
Team chemistry: At least 70
Number of players: 11
This is what the solution could look like:
The solution costs you about 165,000 coins (PS4)
Task 3 – 87-rated Squad
The following requirements must be met:
Inform card: 1
Team rating: At least 87
Team chemistry: At least 65
Number of players: 11
This is what the solution could look like:
The solution costs you about 220,000 coins (PS4)
Other really strong cards can also be found in the current TOTSSF event (Team of the Season So Far). Have you had any pack luck yet?

The crossbow has few enthusiastic supporters in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare & Warzone. But it can be a nasty monster, especially in the Battle Royale offshoot Warzone, taking opponents out of the KO phase. Try this explosive OP setup.
Why is the crossbow so unpopular? Call of Duty: Modern Warfare offers players a lot of weapons, including a few oddities like the double-barreled shotgun 725 or the crossbow. While the 725, with its 2 snappy shots in the chamber, excites many soldiers, the slow crossbow usually stays in the weapons cabinet – too slow, too weird, too bad.
However, in Warzone, this rather old-fashioned weapon could become a hit. With an explosive setup, the bolt-firing weapon gets enough power to shoot weakened enemies directly out of the match and leave opponents no chance of revival.
Explosive setup makes crossbow shine in Warzone
What does the setup look like? With this equipment combination, you rely on the nasty explosive bolts and increase the speed of your projectiles for hits at long distances:
Cable: 28-strand cable
Bows: XRK Thunder 90 kg
Sight: XRK Rangemaster VZ
Bolt: FTAC Fury 20″ bolt
Extra: Agility
The strong cable paired with the 90 kg draw weight of the bow makes the bomb bolts “arrow-fast” onto your enemies. As an extra, you can take “Agility” to reduce the long loading time of the bolts. If you don’t mind the long reload time, switch to a stock or underbarrel to increase aiming stability.
With the “XRK Rangemaster”, you get a special sight for the crossbow that provides you with 2 zoom levels: 3.0x and 6.1x magnification. If the large sights are not to your liking, or you want to avoid lens reflection, you can use something smaller here. In general, you should play this setup like a sniper in Warzone.
What’s important are the explosive arrows and the attachments for faster bolts. Here you can find a bit of crossbow gameplay so you can see for yourself how strong the combo can be:

Why is it so strong? With this setup, you get an unusual weapon with advantages that no other firearm can provide. In Warzone, especially 3 properties stand out that make the weapon absolutely OP in the right hands:
Bolts do not need to hit to get kills
Explosive projectiles can take opponents out of the KO phase
One-shot kills without headshot hits
With that, the setup makes a solid statement, and rightly so. The explosive bolts can take out players, even if they have two full armor plates. After they are “downed” and lying on the ground, the bolt goes off and sends them directly to the Gulag.
Even players with full plates are not safe. Arrow and explosion deal enough damage to knock out the enemy. With one shot, this can only be done by the powerful sniper weapons of Warzone.
And even if the arrow misses, you still have a good chance of getting a big hit. Within a radius of about one meter around the bolt, there’s a powerful explosion that hurts a lot.
The well-known CoD YouTuber “Drift0r” has closely examined the properties of the weapon in his English in-depth analysis at the launch of the crossbow in Season 2. Check it out if you want to learn more about the bolt-firing weapon.
The crossbow is not just given away. You have to earn it with a DMR challenge.
How do I get the crossbow? You don’t get the weapon just by leveling up; instead, you have to unlock the crossbow with a challenge. Unlocking and leveling up can take some time, but it could be worth it. With this nasty OP setup, you leave no chance for the opponents you catch.
But here also lies the weakness of the otherwise really nasty setup – hitting with the crossbow is not that easy.

In Borderlands 3 there is a new weapon called the Yellowcake that can deal huge damage. Where can you find the currently strongest cannon?
This is the Yellowcake: The Yellowcake is a rocket launcher manufactured by the Children of the Vault. Accordingly, it does not have a magazine in the typical sense, but overheats with heavy use. However, the heavy weapon does not need too many shots.
The Yellowcake was introduced with the new update as part of the “Revenge of the Cartels” event. It fires a projectile that splits multiple times, causing extra damage – in ridiculously high numbers. The rocket launcher always comes with radiation elemental damage and distributes it thanks to its explosion radius to plenty of enemies.
The cannon is also capable of melting bosses in high Mayhem levels with a single shot – as fans have already noted on reddit:

On one hand, cartel boss Joey Ultraviolet drops the Yellowcake when you defeat him in the villa. Also, underboss Tyrone Smallums can drop the rocket launcher, just like “FISH SLAP!”, which you can also encounter outside the villa. If you’re on the hunt for the launcher, the Ultraviolet villa is the most rewarding place to search.
The Villa Ultraviolet is suitable for searching
You can reach the Villa Ultraviolet by defeating cartel gangsters for Maurice throughout the galaxy. They drop coordinates that you can use to teleport to the villa. There, with a bit of luck, you can find the weapon.
However, it is possible that the Yellowcake will be nerfed a bit in the coming weeks. This is what happened with the “ION Cannon”, which was incredibly strong at release. However, it is still useful and dangerous – the Yellowcake rocket launcher will likely remain a powerful weapon.

In Pokémon GO there are now the Top TMs (Elite TMs) and numerous Pokémon can benefit. But which monsters are worth it the most?
What are Top TMs? These items have been available since the Community Day with Abra. You could buy a Top TM in the Community Day box. With this item, you can teach your Pokémon moves that it could only learn for a short time and that are now typically no longer available.
The list of learnable moves is long and Top TMs are rare. So the question is: Which Pokémon should receive an Elite TM?
Top TMs are that rare: The item has only been available once so far. You had to buy the box from the Community Day to get it. The next opportunity for a Top TM is at the end of Season 1 of the PvP League. You will receive such a TM if you are ranked 7.
Best Pokémon for the Top TM
Mewtwo: The Psychic-type Pokémon is probably the best choice for many players. It has advantages in raids and PvP thanks to the Elite TM. You could teach it the attack combination Psycho Cut and Shadow Ball. Both charge moves are extremely powerful, but they have never been available to Mewtwo at the same time.
With Psycho Cut, Mewtwo is the best Psychic attacker and with Shadow Ball, it is among the best Ghost attackers. Now, you can create a powerful combination.
It’s also possible that you only got a good Mewtwo with Shadow Ball, but when the attack Psycho Cut was available, you only caught bad Mewtwos. You can now compensate for this and create two different attackers from one Mewtwo.
In PvP, Mewtwo is useful with both attacks. Previously, it was the case that the opponent knew when, for example, Psycho Cut was used, no Shadow Ball could follow. Now it’s different, and you can confuse and outsmart your opponent well.
Mewtwo is probably the best choice for the Top TM
Mew: The mysterious Pokémon has a special feature. It can learn a total of 25 charge moves and it costs a lot of normal TMs to learn the right moves. There, the randomness decides which move is chosen.
With the Top TM, however, you can easily select the correct move. However, keep in mind that Mew will not become incredibly strong, but you’re merely saving normal TMs here. If you have enough normal TMs, you should use them for Mew and not the rare Top TM.
Especially for PvP, Mew is interesting because your opponent cannot know at all which moves your Mew has.
Which moves are worth it for Mew, we show you here:
Dark Claw (Fast) and Psycho Shock, Grass Knot (Charge)
Dark Claw (Fast) and Surf, Rock Slide (Charge)
Dark Claw (Fast) and Ice Beam, Thunder Punch (Charge)
Zapdos: The legendary Pokémon can learn the fast move Thunder Shock through the Top TM. This makes it especially more useful in PvP, as it is quickly used and charges the charge move particularly quickly.
Keep in mind, however, that there was only one Top Charge TM through the Community Day box. The Top TM for fast moves will only be available at the end of the PvP season.
Jynx: Many trainers may wonder why this seemingly useless Pokémon made it onto this list. The reason for this is the two ice moves Ice Shard (Fast) and Icy Wind (Charge). Both enhance Jynx tremendously for the Super League in PvP and this previously useless Pokémon becomes really strong.
Together with a second charge move of the Water type, Jynx becomes quite agile in battle and disrupts the Super League meta. However, Jynx’s true potential only unfolds with both moves. This means you will probably need two Top TMs to make Jynx really useful.
Community Day Moves: With the Top TMs, you can teach any Pokémon from the Community Day the exclusive move. Some of the monsters become significantly stronger and are worth more.
However, you must keep in mind that the TM is extremely rare and you had the massive Community Day the last two Decembers, during which you could teach all exclusive moves again. So you can also simply wait until December to teach the special moves to the Pokémon.
If you already have a developed Pokémon with good IV that you want to teach a Community Day move, then you can use the Top TM.
The best moves from the Community Days will be shown in another article. There you will find out which Pokémon are really worth it with the Community Day moves.

Streamer Natalia “Alinity” Mogollon (Apex Legends,Valorant) has been banned from Twitch for 24 hours after showing her bare breast. The ban was demanded by several other streamers. However, she herself wished she had been banned for a longer period.
got into a fight with one of her dogs – which sniffed her lower abdomen
These incidents from 2019 were not punished by Twitch, which is why the spotlight of the Twitch public is now on Alinity and the new incident, wondering if Twitch will slap the ban hammer this time.
The streamer Kaceytron demanded the ban of Alinity.
The LoL streamer Kaceytron said that Twitch must ban Alinity, otherwise there would be an uprising. Because further preferential treatment of Alinity shows only how unfair Twitch is.
Streamer Trainwreck alleged that Alinity does this on purpose. Every 4 months, when her viewer numbers stagnate or even decrease on Twitch, something like this happens to her. He considers this a plan and calculation.
Also, the way Alinity had stuffed a pillow under her top was totally bizarre. He had never seen anything like it. It makes no sense that she lifted her bra during the act.
Streamer bans herself from Twitch for 3 days
This was Alinity’s reaction: The incident of her breast being visible apparently wasn’t really embarrassing for the streamer. She reacted rather aggressively to comments about the slip-up.
She accused people of trying to instill false shame in her because of her body. These people have misconceptions about what bodies really look like because they watch too much porn.
Even before any reaction from Twitch came, Alinity had imposed a “3-day ban” on herself from Twitch. She considered this ban appropriate, she said.

This reaction is presumably passive-aggressive. Alinity mockingly applauds her “critics.”
Alinity feels like a victim of misrepresentation
What’s behind this: Alinity is a kind of figurehead that Twitch applies double standards. Many believe Alinity receives special treatment. She is rarely punished by Twitch and when so, only lightly, while other streamers are regulated much more harshly.
Rumors also circulate that she has a relationship with someone at Twitch or something similar.
The streamer had an accident on April 24.
Alinity defends herself against these allegations and considers them absurd rumors, which she denies. She says she has also been temporarily banned several times. If people have a problem with Twitch’s ban policy, they should sort it out with Twitch, not with her.
The role as “Twitch’s darling” seems to be getting on her nerves. She evidently feels misrepresented here and reacts bitterly.

According to one source, PS Plus offers two free titles in May, but one of them is not officially available in Germany. Because Dying Light is indexed.
Where does the information about the new PS4 games come from? A picture was published in the resetera forum that shows the free games for May 2020 at PS Plus (via Pushsquare.com). But many do not consider this source very trustworthy.
How trustworthy is the source? User Adookah posted a picture of the PlayStation Plus games for May 2020 on ResetEra.
The alleged source from the forum, image source: ResetEra.com
At first glance, the image looks like an official announcement. But it becomes interesting when you compare the image from the forum with the official images from Sony. Here you can find the differences:
The original presentation of PlayStation Plus in March 2020. Image source: Sony.com
In the original, the period is also specified. In the alleged source, this is not the case. In addition, the statements are much too brief.
There are also differences in the main font: In the original, the two “E”s of “Free” are closer together, and the “A” and “M” of Games do not touch.
The original has a ® for “Registered Trademark” between PlayStation and Plus; this is completely missing in the source. The ™ symbol is missing in the yellow cross.
The original additionally uses a completely different font for “PlayStation Plus”: PlayStation is bold in the original and Plus is kept simple, whereas in the source everything is kept simple.
In the original, “Free” and “March” are left-aligned on one line. In the forum post, “May” and “Free” are not on one line and are slightly offset.
This is actually what is in PlayStation Plus in May: Sony has now announced the two free titles, and they are not Dying Light and Dark Souls Remastered. Instead, PlayStation Plus subscribers will receive two games, one of which is particularly “German”:
Dying Light and Dark Souls supposedly free via PS Plus
Which games are supposed to be free in May? According to the leak, the games Dark Souls Remastered and Dying Light are supposed to be free for PS Plus subscribers in May 2020:
Dark Souls is an action RPG that relies on a relentless level of difficulty.
Dying Light is a survival title with dynamic weather and day and night transitions. You play as agent Kyle Crane, who is supposed to infiltrate the quarantine zone of the city of Harran.
Here lies the problem: MeinMMO lists Dying Light among the best end-time games of 2019 and 2020. The problem, however, is that Dying Light is indexed in Germany, and therefore cannot be officially sold: As a result, sales pages such as Steam or the PlayStation Store are not visible to German users.
Dying Light is indexed in Germany and cannot be officially purchased. In the picture Dying Light 2, which could belong to the most interesting games of 2020.
Indexing in Germany – what does that mean?
Why are games indexed? In Germany, there are regulations in the German Youth Protection Act (via Gesetze im Internet).
If games are not classified for whatever reason, they can be indexed on application or suggestion from the Federal Review Board for harmful media (BPjM). According to the BPjM (via bundespruefstelle.de), media that
are immoral
corrupt
extremely violent
incite to crimes or racial hatred
or view self-justice as the only means of justice
What does indexing mean for the player? No advertising may be made for indexed games, nor may these titles be openly sold.
Indexed games are often not offered by providers like Sony at all: The effort is usually not worth it.
Shops are generally allowed to sell indexed titles, but they can only do so out of public view, so that children and adolescents do not have access. Rules also include separate rooms that are not visible from the outside. This applies to films, books, and computer games.
Additionally, it is crucial whether games end up on list A or B:
Media on list A can still be sold under the counter or “on demand”.
Media on list B are confiscated. This no longer falls under youth protection but rather under criminal law. Accordingly, it can become quite complicated.
In addition, there are lists C and D, but they are not public lists. This includes so-called telemedia (electronic media). These may include internet addresses that are not publicly visible.
What list is Dying Light on? Dying Light is on list A. This means that the game can be sold under the counter. Sales platforms such as Steam, Uplay, or Sony do not offer such indexed titles in advance, as they cannot provide these restrictions or it is not worth the effort for them. For providers, it is easier to block games for German IP addresses than to expose themselves to legal problems.
If the leak turns out to be true, it is unlikely that Dying Light will be free for German players, and instead, we may receive another title in Germany.
What is currently available on PlayStation Plus? In April, one of the best adventure games is currently free for PlayStation Plus members in April 2020. MeinMMO explains why PlayStation Plus in April 2020 is particularly worthwhile.

Valorant currently does not have any ranked lists, everyone is just playing for “fun”. However, contrary to initial assumptions, the release of a ranked system is likely still coming in the beta. After initial speculation, there is now concrete information about the ranked system from the developers.
Update 29.04. 2020: We have updated this article from April 17 with more information and patch 0.49.
What is a ranked system? In competitive games, like League of Legends or Counter-Strike, it is common to offer special ranked leagues. Players progress based on their performance, earn rewards, and frequently face appropriate opponents.
Ranked lists are therefore very popular among players who do not just want to play for fun but also want to be rewarded for their performance and compete against others. Many fans of Valorant are asking when a ranked mode will finally appear.
Release, Badges and League Structure – What We Know So Far About the Ranked Mode
What does Riot say about the release of the ranked mode? For a long time, it was assumed that the ranked mode would not be included in the beta of Valorant but would be one of the release features in summer 2020.
Meanwhile, the ranked mode has appeared in Valorant. You can find all important information about it here.
How is the ranked mode structured? There are eight ranks:
Iron
Bronze
Silver
Gold
Platinum
Diamond
Immortal
Valorant
This is what the ranks and badges of Valorant should look like. The highest rank, Valorant, has only one sub-level.
Each of these ranks has three subdivisions. Only the last rank, Valorant, is represented as the ultimate professional rank with only one level. Thus, the absolute elite of the game is expected to be found there.
When is the ranked mode coming? According to the developers, the new mode should start after update 0.49. The patch is now available, but the ranked mode according to Riot is still inactive. They want to wait until everything runs stable. Additionally, the mode will only be available in the North America and Europe regions initially.

According to Riot, the ranked mode will be available very soon.
How can you participate in ranked matches? You need to have beta access to Valorant to participate in ranked matches. Then you must have played at least 20 matches in the unranked mode to gain access to the ranked matches.
How can one rise or fall in rank? To rise or fall in ranks, the game will evaluate several factors:
Win or loss?
Good/bad performance in the game?
Good/bad teamwork
If someone plays poorly and loses, they lose more points than a generally good player who only narrowly loses after a tough match with their team. Especially in higher ranks, teamwork is supposed to be heavily weighted, while personal performance is clearly secondary.
The developers also want to analyze data more intensively to find out if, for example, a “smurf” is on the loose. This is a very good player who deliberately starts with a new account to farm the little noobs on the lower ranks.
How long do you keep your rank? If you do not log in for 14 days, your rank will no longer be displayed. However, if you play again, the rank reappears. It does not expire.
What happens after the beta? The ranked lists will be deleted after the beta. However, there will be new ranked lists in the release version.
What if I want to play with friends? You can play in ranked matches with friends, but only if you are not more than 2 ranks above or below them.
Will Valorant Get a Ranked Mode Like League of Legends?
This is how ranked leagues in Valorant could work: Insightful readers have already discovered similarities to the ranking system of League of Legends, which also comes from Riot. Therefore, it is likely that Valorant may later use a similar system. It would look something like this:
A ranked season divided into several “splits”. At the end of a split, there are rewards, and at the end of the season, progress is reset.
Each player receives points at the end of a ranked match – added or deducted depending on their performance. If you accumulate 100 points, you enter a promo series where you need to win three times. Then you rise one level in rank.
Conversely, you can drop in rank if you fall below 0 points. However, you start the lower level with 75 points.
The higher you rise in the ranks, the better rewards, such as skins, are offered at the end of the splits. So it is worth trying to be as high as possible in the rankings.
However, keep in mind that this information about the league’s structure is purely speculative for now. But given the success and long lifespan of LoL, it is quite likely that Riot will stick to proven patterns.
How does Valorant fare as an eSport? There has already been a first tournament with pro players and streamers in Valorant. Although there was no money involved, there were some spectacular gaming moments. Riot’s new 5vs5 shooter is expected to have an exciting future in eSports if such events continue to occur soon.

In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and the in-house Battle Royale Warzone, a new LMG is on the menu in Season 3, and for the first time, there is solid material available.
This is about the leak: Recently, the well-known leaker TheGamingRevolution on YouTube made headlines with a video. He shared a lot of info about unreleased content from CoD MW and Warzone. Included was also a first look at a new weapon that is expected to be added to the game soon as part of Season 3.
Even though the dataminer enjoys a good reputation in the community, we ask you to take the information with caution as they are not official.
This weapon was found: According to the leaker, soldiers will soon have fun with a new LMG. In his video, the weapon can be seen without a final coat but fully modeled:
According to the file names, the weapon is designated LM_MKIL03, but it strongly resembles a classic from the “Call of Duty” history: M249 SAW.
In earlier series installments like Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Remastered, the M249 SAW impressed with a very high rate of fire. The designation SAW does not stand for saw as often assumed, but is an acronym for “Squad Automatic Weapon”.
The light machine gun would thus join a pistol and a DMR that have been freely playable for all players since the start of the current season.
When might the weapon arrive? According to the leaker, the LMG could find its way into the game as early as tomorrow, April 28th. Because then, the new, rather large update for Modern Warfare and Warzone is due.
Developer Infinity Ward has officially announced that a new LMG will be featured in Season 3. If you take a look at the S3 roadmap, the corresponding weapon is marked “classified”:
What else is in the massive update? Whether the new weapon actually launches on April 28th is still uncertain. But these contents are definitely included in the new update:
The Fortnite pro Tyler “Ninja” Blevins is annoyed by 2 weapons that returned in Chapter 2. He now wants them removed from the game.
Which weapons is he referring to? The Mini-Gun and the Heavy Sniper should be removed from the game. At least that’s what the Fortnite pro Ninja wants.
What defines these weapons? The Mini-Gun can fire many shots in quick succession. Thus, it can destroy all buildings shortly or quickly drain players’ health points.
The Heavy Sniper is currently strong. It can land a headshot at long distances, dealing 375 damage to players. Thus, a player is directly eliminated, even if they have full health and shield.
What does Ninja think about the two weapons? In a stream on April 24, he played with Twitch streamer SypherPK, after Ninja had frequently been meeting in his Mixer streams while playing CoD Warzone and Valorant (via Mixer).
However, things didn’t go well for the pro in the first game. His teammate SypherPK was quickly eliminated, and Ninja struggled against 2 opposing players.
With two players equipped with a Mini-Gun, they were able to quickly breach Ninja’s built box and eliminate him in seconds. This visibly frustrated the streamer.

In the YouTube video, you can see the situation Ninja is in and the explanation of why he wants these two weapons removed from the game.
Mobile users please skip to 18 seconds
He says he came back to Fortnite to have fun. But then his teammate is hit by a Heavy Sniper and goes down. With a Mini-Gun, he is ultimately eliminated.
“Can they finally remove the Heavy Sniper from the game? I will tell you which two weapons should never have returned … the Mini-Gun and the Heavy Sniper.”
The biggest problem with these weapons is that handling them is not so difficult and any player can be successful with them. Players land a lucky hit with the Heavy Sniper and are rewarded with an elimination.
“I guarantee you, no player was eliminated by these weapons and thought: This player had so much skill and totally outsmarted me.”
According to Ninja, the regular snipers were fine. A body hit dealt about 90 damage and the hit player still had a chance to counter. With the Heavy Sniper, that wouldn’t be the case.

One of the most popular and best players in League of Legends is Yilang “Doublelift” Peng (26). He parted ways with Team Liquid after a weak Spring Split and is now returning to his old team. However, there was actually a lot of drama and trouble with it.
What is the situation? Team Liquid won all 4 titles of the American LCS (League of Legends Championship Series) in 2018 and 2019. The team was considered strong, also due to the deadly bot lane with Doublelift and CoreJJ. But in 2020, nothing came together.
The team finished the Spring Split in second to last place, with 7 wins and 11 losses, setting a negative record. Never before has a champion failed to at least reach the playoffs in the following tournament.
No good Spring Split for established teams TSM, CLG, and Team Liquid (via Gamepedia).
Only one change was made to the team before the season. They traded the jungler Xmithie (28), who was criticized at Worlds, for the younger Broxah (22) from Fnatic. Broxah, however, had issues with his visa and only showed up after the league started.
As the player revealed in a vlog, he no longer felt confident making calls upon returning to the team because he was afraid of “losing his job again”.
Doublelift returns to TSM, whom he actually wanted to destroy
What has happened now? In the off-season and before the start of the Summer Split, Team SoloMid (TSM) announced that Doublelift would return to them.
In an introductory video, the player explained that there were problems in player dynamics at Team Liquid. He and Liquid CEO Steve Arhancet agreed that a transfer would take place when the right team came calling.
The choice fell on TSM, which surprised many. Because the atmosphere between Doublelift and the team was very tense at the split in 2017.

What is the reason for the dispute? In 2017, TSM parted ways with Doublelift. However, he did not learn about it from a personal conversation, but from a thread on reddit. Subsequently, Doublelift vowed revenge, which he also got several times.
Why is he going back now? In a vlog, the player now revealed why he is returning to TSM specifically, despite the previous drama. There were speculations that it might have to do with the special relationship between him and TSM president Leena Xu, which was seemingly more than just professional. However, Doublelift said:
If Leena weren’t at TSM, would I join TSM? Definitely, yes. I joined because the roster is good, because the organization is super hyped and because of my previous relationships with Bjergsen [mid-laner at TSM and also a part-owner of the organization] and Bio [support at TSM].
I think if you took her [Leena] out of the equation, my decision would be exactly the same.
Can TSM now compete for the championship?
The time with Doublelift is considered one of the most successful for Team SoloMid:
In 2016, the team finished 2nd in the Spring Playoffs and 1st in the Summer Playoffs.
In 2017, TSM won both playoffs.
In both years, they qualified for the Worlds, even if they were eliminated early there.
After the split, the organization reached the playoffs in every split, but only managed a 2nd place in Spring 2019. In the Spring Playoffs 2018 and the Summer Playoffs 2019, they finished both times 5th out of 6.
The Worlds have not been reached since Doublelift’s departure.
Many fans are now hoping for success with the return of the star player. Because even for TSM, the Spring Split went rather average. Doublelift himself is eager, as a tweet shows:

Many players of Borderlands 3 are currently struggling with bugs. The last big update brought fantastic content – but apparently also some errors.
What’s new in Borderlands 3: The big update from last Thursday brought a lot of great new content to Borderlands 3. It’s worth checking back in: The Mayhem Mode 2.0 offers a heavy, chaotic challenge. “The Revenge of the Cartels” sends you on a gangster hunt in the stylish new Villa Ultraviolet. And thanks to the “Loot the Universe” event, you can currently go on a targeted loot hunt. But the update also brought some problems.
Update not as nice as hoped?
We tried Mayhem 2.0: Eager for the new content, the Borderlands 3 disc also found its way into my PS4 drive over the weekend, Max Handwerk.
In local coop mode, we went on a discovery tour. Splitscreen on, game started – at first, everything seemed the same. So we cranked up the new Mayhem Mode 2.0, starting at level 4. And there it was, the planned new chaos: huge heads, difficult enemies, crazy battles. At the “Cliff of Ascension,” we were able to collect legendary sniper rifles endlessly, thanks to the “Loot the Universe” event, while defeating new cartel enemies.
The new loot event is a lot of fun – as long as you can play
It was a lot of fun, and the new content has brought a breath of fresh air. But even on Pandora, it became apparent: Somehow the screen is stuttering more than usual.
Bugs take away the fun: In PS4 splitscreen, you get used to some technical hiccups in Borderlands 3. But when we first entered the new Villa Ultraviolet to fight the cartels, things really got going.
The frame rate dropped, the sound was no longer understandable, and it took forever to get into the menu. Hitting enemies became really difficult due to the severe stuttering of the game. Shortly after, it was all over: the game crashed, and we found ourselves back in the PS4 main menu.
Unfortunately, this was not an isolated incident. Even after restarting and with different Mayhem modifiers, the game continued to stutter. Exploring the fan-favorite Villa map was virtually impossible. And many players in the community are also complaining about bugs.
New bugs lead to complaints about Borderlands 3
Players report bugs: On reddit, there is a new bug thread since the big update, where players summarize the errors. It has now become quite long. Especially console players report bugs that make the game practically unplayable. There are also numerous reports of frame drops on PC, along with crash issues.
Additionally, there are smaller bugs, such as certain weapons not scaling with the Mayhem levels or a glitch causing multiple players to be unable to scroll through the Mayhem modifiers. The list is long – and the community hopes for a quick fix.
Unfortunately, with Mayhem 2.0 came a lot of unplanned chaos into the game
What Gearbox says: The developers have not yet shared much about the errors. At the start of the update, a hotfix was released that addressed certain audio problems, but the remaining bugs have not yet been tackled. In a tweet, it was announced that they are still working on performance and stability updates:
We’re continuing to work on performance and stability updates to Borderlands 3. If you’re experiencing issues, please let us know at https://t.co/DlLIgC7cmG.
Typically, new Borderlands updates are released on Thursdays. It’s possible that some issues will be resolved during the week. For now, however, it seems like it’s a waiting game.
Anyone who has ignored Mayhem 2.0 because the level is still too low should first try to reach the maximum level as quickly as possible. Here you can find two ideal places to level up.

In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and the battle royale spin-off Warzone, a major update is coming. The contents sound enticing – Master Camo and brand new gunsmith options are likely included. Plus, one of the most popular modes will return.
What’s coming to CoD? This Friday, April 24, Activision Blizzard released the community update for this week and gave us a glimpse of the new patch.
This one could be significant. There are likely 4 special points to come, some of which could fundamentally change our CoD experience in Modern Warfare and Warzone:
Master Camo for favorite weapons
Frankenstein / Frankensmithing for blueprints
Shoot the Ship with “Cranked” and “Grind”
Gas changes in Warzone
If everything goes smoothly, we are awaiting the biggest changes to the gunsmith since the release of Modern Warfare. Additionally, changes to the gas circle in Warzone and a favorite mode will return to the playlist. This could be an incredibly good week for Call of Duty.
Update April 29, 10:00 AM: The patch is live and even brings more than expected. The new LMG “Bruen Mk9” can now be unlocked. Here are the patch notes for update 1.20.
Update April 28, 11:00 AM: It seems a fifth point is being added. With the update, a new contract arrives in Warzone. With “Most Wanted,” you can earn revives for the entire team.
When will the update be released? For us, it is expected to go live either on Tuesday, April 28, at 7:00 PM or on Wednesday, April 29, around 8:00 AM. Console players should prepare for a longer update time. After the patch, players on Xbox and PlayStation will need to download a 15 GB data pack to get back into the game.
Already, you can create crazy setups at the gunsmith. Let’s see what amazing creations are possible with “Frankensmithing”.
Gunsmith with new offers
What is the Master Camo? The blog post mentions “Obsidian camo.” It is suspected that this is another skin variant that we can unlock by playing a specific weapon a lot.
So far, there are 3 special metal skin variants here, which take quite a long time to unlock:
Gold – Master the weapon
Platinum – Master the weapon class
Damascus – Master almost all weapons
Now, a real grind skin for individual weapons seems to be coming. Joe Cecot, Design Director at Infinity Ward, revealed a few weeks ago that we can expect something here, and now it seems to be happening.
We haven’t had a look at the new skins yet. However, the volcanic glass “Obsidian” is usually represented as black, and it’s possible that CoD goes in this direction as well.
What is “Frankenstein”? Also an exciting skin feature that elevates the customization of our weapons to a new level. The blog post talks about “mixing and adjusting blueprint weapon attachments to your heart’s content.”
So, if we have the blueprint of an M4A1 and particularly like the shape of the barrel, we can integrate this barrel into another M4 blueprint that we particularly like the shape of.
This allows for a whole new way of customizing. The weapons can look completely different, and crazy setups are possible. They may not always look good, but they are definitely unique. A really cool innovation that many soldiers will likely enjoy.
If unwanted pay-to-win blueprints appear again, players can then attach the OP attachments to their own weapon.
Cool playlist in MW and new gas circle in Warzone
What does the mode look like? With “Shoot the Ship” (it was previously called “Shoot or Ship, it doesn’t matter”), one of the most popular modes is returning to the playlist. The mix of the crazy mini-map Shipment, which has an unusually large fanbase, and the slightly larger map “Shoot House” launches as a Moshpit with “Cranked” and “Grind.” This promises an explosive mix:
Cranked – Anti-camper mode where a timer counts down after each kill. New kills extend the timer. If it runs out, it goes BOOM!
Grind – Reminiscent of “Kill Confirmed,” but the collected dog tags must be brought to a specific location before they count as points.
As long as the timer runs, your movement stats are buffed, and everything goes a bit faster. If you don’t get a kill in time and the timer runs out, you respawn.
What happens with the gas? It is not yet clear, but changes to the gas are likely to affect gameplay in Warzone significantly. The preliminary patch notes state: “The speed and size of the circle in Warzone will be adjusted.”
“TheXclusiveAce,” who discusses the current Call of Duty and Warzone extensively in his English videos, suspects in his notes analysis that the circle could get smaller and close faster. He believes that after the start and the completion of the first firefights, it sometimes goes a bit too quiet.
It’s possible that we will soon have a faster gas circle or that the intervals between gas phases will become shorter, but the circle at the beginning will be larger. Running away from the gas could become even more difficult. However, we will only see how the circle changes with the update. As soon as there is newer information, you’ll get it here on MeinMMO.

The hack and slash Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem launched extremely successfully on Steam in February. But then came the crash. We take a look at the current state of the action RPG.
How are the ratings and player numbers for Wolcen at the moment? Looking at the entry of the action RPG on Steam, it currently has a rating of 55% in the last 30 days and an overall rating of 56%.
According to Steamcharts, the player numbers are currently averaging 2,652 players online simultaneously. The peak is 7,236 in the last 30 days.
Wolcen has lost many players according to Steamcharts.
What do players say about the hack ‘n slash? We summarize some of the current opinions on Wolcen for you:
Miaz, Wb. says on Steam: “Looks good and has a good, fun concept. However, it feels incredibly unfinished. There are many very minor bugs that are not necessarily game-breaking but can be annoying or impractical. With a little polishing, this could be an amazing game.”
Naturr explains on Steam: “I was hoping for a quality action RPG. The gameplay mechanics are below average. I tried it twice, but both times I was just bored playing it.”
Guywars writes on Steam: “It has a lot of potential, but even months after the release, it is still broken in so many ways. It’s a better-looking Diablo 3 with an interesting story, but it doesn’t even come close to games like Path of Exile.”
Acthron on Steam believes: “Most of what has been said in other reviews is true, so I will not repeat it all. It’s a really good game with the potential to be great, but it hasn’t reached that yet.”
The release trailer for Wolcen made us eager for more. Then came the disappointment.
How did Wolcen launch? The release on February 13, 2020, was so successful that the servers could not handle the influx of players. For several days, it was hardly possible to play online. At launch, Wolcen averaged 31,746 players. The peak was 127,542.
2020 is expected to bring more interesting action RPGs. Which ones that are, we will tell you in the MeinMMO list of 9 new hack ‘n slashes expected to come in 2020 while we wait for Diablo 4. Perhaps there is an exciting game for you in there.
