LoL: Uzi (22) is considered the best ADC in the world, has broken “arms like a 50-year-old”

Our goal is to win, not to have fun

Who wants to become that? According to the team manager, RNG has a training school in Shanghai, where hundreds of teenagers apply every year, but hardly anyone makes it through:

“Our goal is to win, not to have fun. Everyone wants to win. This also leads to group pressure. That is why nearly no one makes it through from 100 people who enroll. The process is so tough.”
Bi Lianli, Team Manager RNG

Career end for LoL pros at 24

When do players stop? The manager says that most eSports athletes in China are younger than 22. Many stop at 24:

“In general, a 24-year-old is considered too old to be an eSports athlete.”
Bi Lianli

A problem continues to be that games can fall out of fashion. Then careers can end overnight:

“We have tried to transition athletes who are good in one game to another game. But we found out that it doesn’t work. They failed… it is very cruel.”

New tank car „Zhaba“ in GTA Online – Cool or a waste of money?

Patrick Freese 3. January 2020 Reading time 4 minutes

The new Zhaba in GTA Online costs you at least 1.8 million GTA Dollars. But is the price for this armored vehicle worth it, or should you leave it standing at the dealer?

What kind of car is this? Since January 2, 2020, the “Rune Zhaba” has been available for sale at the Warstock dealer in GTA Online. This is an armored vehicle that belongs to the cars from the new Casino Heist update.

How expensive is it? The purchase price is 1,800,000 GTA Dollars. If you play the finale of the Casino Heist with it, this price gets unlocked. Regularly, the car costs 2,400,000 GTA Dollars.

What is special about it? The Zhaba is a boxy vehicle that stands out with its huge tires. These have a strong tread designed to help the vehicle navigate rough terrain. Additionally, the unique tread pattern of the tires is necessary for the Zhaba to drive on water.

Moreover, it comes with strong armor that can withstand several rockets.

But are these points important enough to justify the price?

GTA Online Making Money: 17 Ways to Get Rich Quickly in 2026

The Practical Test – Is the Zhaba Worth the Money?

Patrick tested: In GTA Online, I have now reached over 600 play hours, spending a large part of it in vehicles. In time trials, stunt races, or even in free roam, I regularly test the new vehicles released in the game, assessing their speed, handling, and overall suitability in multiplayer lobbies.

So I had to grab the Zhaba immediately upon release and find out what the box is worth. I definitely needed this drivable cube in my collection. Keep in mind that this test took place on snow, as the online world of GTA 5 was still snowy at that time.

GTA Online Zhaba Garage 2 — In its raw state in my garage – The Zhaba looks good

The Tuning: After purchasing the Zhaba, I took the car, like probably every other player in GTA Online, directly for tuning. Here you see the usual options for front and rear bumpers, paint, engine tuning, and so forth. You cannot install weapons.

How fast is the Zhaba? After tuning on the track, it’s quickly clear that the Zhaba is quite slow. In comparison with its direct competitor, the APC, the Zhaba is the loser. A similar picture is seen on the water. The APC is also faster when swimming than the Zhaba.

GTA Online: Top 35 of the fastest cars 2025 – Lists with top speed and lap time

Offroad Performance: With a vehicle that has such huge tires and strong tread, I had hoped for a more positive offroad experience. It struggles to climb steep hills and simply slides back down. Overall, there is little traction in the terrain.

As an Escape Vehicle? For the Casino Heist , the Zhaba is suggested as a possible escape vehicle. To test it solo, I built up a wanted level of 3 stars in free roam and tried to escape from the police with the Zhaba. I encountered the following problems:

The ramming of other vehicles is unreliable
- Sometimes the Zhaba flies into the air instead of pushing or crushing other cars
- Ramming is only possible with large vehicles like trucks

The size and bulky shape make it difficult to hide in smaller alleys

The Armor: One of the most important aspects for you when buying the Zhaba is probably its armor. And here the vehicle can score points. Especially in free roam when you are chased by annoying MK2’s. The Zhaba can withstand 14 rockets from these flying motorcycles before it explodes on the 15th. An Oppressor MK2 can have a maximum of 20 rockets onboard. If 5 of them have already been fired, you can survive an attack in the Zhaba.

The windows can withstand some shots before they shatter. So you are only temporarily protected from shots to your head while behind the wheel.

A downside is that the Zhaba can be thrown around quickly by explosive attacks or even flip over. Even if you withstand the rocket attacks, you will still be thrown off course.

Conclusion

Who is the purchase worthwhile for? Anyone who wants to buy the Zhaba needs to have a clear goal in mind. As an escape vehicle or offroad wonder, it is less suitable. However, the car scores points with its strong armor and the 4 seats.

Pros

4 seats
Strong armor
Passengers can shoot from the rear doors
Drives on water

Cons

Poor escape vehicle
Loses control on explosions
Not good offroad
Rather slow

As a fun vehicle for free roam, I think the Zhaba is quite suitable. But, as suggested in the game, it is less so as an escape vehicle in the heist. It would require some buffs in terms of speed (on land and water) as well as traction.

Have you tried the Zhaba yet?

WoW Classic: How Players Brilliantly Ruin a PvP Bot’s Day

Cortyn 3. January 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

PvP bots are rampant in WoW Classic. But you can really ruin their day – these players show how to do it.

Despite the ban wave from a few days ago, there are still plenty of bots in World of Warcraft Classic. Especially in PvP and on battlegrounds, this is annoying. These bots do not participate in the fight, but they take a lot of honor and occupy important spots. However, a group of players really ruined a botter’s day and destroyed all of his “work”.

What happened? Reddit user Lepantoe created a video discussing the current bot issue in WoW Classic. Especially in Alterac Valley, many players just stand around AFK or move automatically every few seconds to avoid getting kicked out of the battle. Furthermore, bots automatically accept invitations to the battleground – this is exactly what other players took advantage of.

They invited the bot to a group. Since the group invitation window appears in the same spot as the battleground invitation, the bot accepted the invitation. With a warlock, the bot was then teleported to Southshore – the bot accepted this teleport as well, since this window also appears in the same spot.

The players then started attacking and killing NPCs in Southshore – this caused them to accumulate “Notorious Murders”.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-x8kb6DfFOs&feature=youtu.be

Why is this so genius? When characters are involved in killing innocent NPCs (like villagers), they accumulate “Notorious Murders”. This is then reflected in the PvP statistics and results in them receiving fewer rank points and likely dropping in rank. Exactly this happened to the “victim” of this strategy. Instead of ranking up through farming, he fell from rank 6 to rank 3.

A real player had to suffer for it: However, the whole action also has a catch. In order for the bot to gain the notorious murders, a player had to stay in the group with the bot and kill the NPCs. This player (the warrior in the video) also ruined his own statistics and honor level. The players were aware of this beforehand and considered it a sacrifice they were willing to make.

With this action, they ruined the bot’s “work” in just a few hours, undoing a whole week of AFK farming and even pulling it into negative.

Nonetheless, the video criticizes that Blizzard is doing too little against bots. The corresponding bot is still active today and was not caught by the ban wave.

What do you think of this action? A genius way to ruin botters’ day? Or too much effort for something that Blizzard should be taking care of?

CoD Modern Warfare: Soon there will be more space for your classes – That’s why it is so important

Noah Struthoff 3. January 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare will soon allow you to create more of your own classes. Until now, this was limited to 5 classes, but an expansion is on the way.

This is the issue: You can create a total of 5 custom classes with which you can go into battle. For many players, this is too few, and that’s where Infinity Ward steps in.

On reddit, the developers promised a soon expansion of the class slots.

The importance of expanding your own classes

Why this is important: Modern Warfare shines through its detailed customization of weapons. Almost every part of a weapon can be exchanged.

It’s just unfortunate if you build a lot of cool weapons but can then only choose between 5 different classes. More choices would be beneficial.

Similarly, Modern Warfare is incredibly varied. There are very small maps like Shipment or Shoot House, where close combat is primarily important, and then there are huge maps for Ground War. You need to adjust your equipment to the conditions, which is quite difficult with only 5 class slots.

You probably don’t use these 3 weapons in CoD Modern Warfare – But you should

von Benedict Grothaus

What do the developers promise? On reddit a player demanded that Infinity Ward finally unlock new class slots and explained why he desperately needs it.

The developers have responded to this. The Art Director of Infinity Ward spoke out.

You and everyone else who has commented on this are right. It is in the mainline at the studio, and we have been tinkering with it. I’m not sure which update it’s in, but I think it’s the next one. Whether you believe it or not, it can cause terrible bugs if it’s not properly tested. I’m not sure about all this, so don’t be mad at me if I’m wrong. Since I have commented here, I will take care of the matter at the studio.
artpeasant on reddit

What does this mean for players? You can soon look forward to new slots for the classes. There is still no exact release date, but it should be happening in the next few days or weeks.

Recently, however, Modern Warfare also faced criticism as they removed a popular mode:

This month, 2 new exotic weapons are coming to Destiny 2 – What we know

Schuhmann 3. January 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

In January 2020, 2 new exotic weapons will come to Destiny 2 : the pistol “Devil’s Ruin” and the fusion rifle “Bastion”. We at MeinMMO are looking at when the weapons are coming, how Guardians will obtain them, and what the two weapons can do.

Where is the information from? There are two sources:

We know when the weapons are coming from the official roadmap by Bungie for Destiny 2
We know what the weapons can do and how to obtain them from datamining sites like light.gg. However, this is unofficial. This information might change, but is usually reliable.

Spoiler Alert: This is a spoiler alert of the kind “Caution, hot coffee is hot.” We will cover what is known about the weapons and their quests in the further article. Those who want to find out for themselves should not continue reading.

New Exotic Pistol “Devil’s Ruin”

When is the weapon coming? The quest for the weapon is set to go live on Tuesday evening, January 7, with the Weekly Reset; along with the harder version of the Sundial activity.

How do you get the weapon? The pistol will be tied to an exotic quest. The steps that are already known suggest that the exotic quest will be related to the “Sundial” activity and Saint-14. The quest apparently takes place inside the Sundial and in the EDZ. So far, only two steps are known.

Link to the YouTube content

This is what the weapon can do: Devil’s Ruin is an energy weapon that inflicts solar damage. The exotic pistol is supposed to use primary ammo and has two special perks:

The perk “Closing the Gap” allows the pistol to be fired in two ways:
- A single press fires single shots
- If the trigger is held, a highly charged laser beam is fired that staggers enemies
Pyrogenesis – The perk ensures that the magazine is replenished when a fully charged laser has been fired.

Sounds like an interesting laser pistol that is situationally useful for stopping enemies, thanks to the focus on “staggering.”

New Exotic Fusion Rifle “Bastion”

When is the weapon coming? It is a bit further away. The weapon is set to come to Destiny 2 on January 28: again, a Tuesday.

How do you get Bastion? Bastion will be tied to the exotic quest “The Spoken Word.” According to datamining, the quest starts with Saint-14 but quickly leads to Spider in the Tangled Shore. In the Tangled Shore, you will need to clear lost sectors, eliminate enemies, and ultimately conquer the strike “The Hollowed Lair.”

How FIFA 20 is now solving the problem with the Weekend League rewards

Max Handwerk 3. January 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

The Weekend League Rewards last Thursday caused issues in FIFA 20. Now the developers are working on a solution. Players will still have to wait a bit.

This is the problem: The Weekend League Rewards on Thursday were faulty. Specifically, it was about the Player Picks: Instead of the red special cards from the current TOTW, FIFA distributed random gold cards.

During the day, the faulty picks were completely deactivated. Now EA Sports has announced when players can expect the correct rewards.

FIFA 20 Player Picks are coming – how will it work?

When will the Player Picks arrive? In a tweet from the communication channel created for such issues, EA Sports explains that they have started addressing the problem. Players can expect the correct Player Picks within the next two days.

What happens to the incorrect gold cards? In principle, all affected players will have the opportunity to select new players from the correct Player Picks. EA Sports stated that they are currently reviewing account data to find all affected cases.

Anyone who has already moved the incorrectly distributed gold cards into their club will be allowed to keep them. Even if you have already selected picks without assigning them afterwards, you are allowed to keep them. So if you happen to have drawn a strong card from the wrong picks, you got lucky.

This is how the community is reacting: The affected FIFA players express their dissatisfaction on reddit and twitter regarding the issue. The duration of the correction is particularly causing frustration. Many players are hoping for compensation in the form of packs or an extra pick. However, nothing has been said about that from the official side.

If you are currently waiting for the rewards, you can pass the time with Icon Swaps tasks. The rewards are worth it:

Pokémon GO: Big Incubator Marathon started – What you need to know

Noah Struthoff 3. January 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO the Hatch Marathon 2020 has started. The event brings you many bonuses around eggs and also a new shiny.

How long does the event last? It lasts a full 2 weeks and ends on January 16 at 10 PM. During this time, you can collect many bonuses.

Accordingly, there are Pokémon with party hats everywhere. You can catch all of them as shiny.

All info about the big Hatch Marathon

These bonuses are available: The list of bonuses is long. It mainly revolves around egg bonuses and rewards in Adventure Sync:

Wurmple and Pichu with party hats can be found in 2 km eggs, Pichu also in 7 km eggs
Raticate and Woobat with party hats can be found in level 2 raids
Pikachu with party hat is available in the wild
The shiny versions of all party hat Pokémon are catchable
Double stardust and double candy when hatching eggs
Adventure Sync brings 50,000 stardust, 15 special candies and an Unova Stone when you walk 50 km in the week

What new shinies are in the game? The only completely new shiny is Wurmple. This Pokémon has not been available before and is now found in its shiny form for the first time.

Raticate and Woobat have been available as shiny before, but never with party hats. Shiny collectors will find something here as well. The Pikachu family has been available as shiny with party hats before.

What about event spawns? There are no changed spawns. Pikachu with party hat can be found occasionally, but is quite rare. All other spawns are unchanged.

Are there new raid bosses? Only Woobat and Raticate are new in the raids. All other bosses are the same ones that have been available before.

Which bonus should you take advantage of? Even if it’s cold outside, try to complete the 50 km in the respective weeks. You can collect the Adventure Sync rewards twice and secure 100,000 stardust.

If you then activate a star piece, you’ll even earn a total of 150,000 dust. It’s rarely been easier to obtain a lot of stardust, so you shouldn’t miss out on the bonus.

Are you having problems with the camera prompt? Here are some solutions for you:

MMORPG Camelot Unchained finally announces something big – Already for January

Alexander Leitsch 3. January 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

The developers of Camelot Unchained have reached out to the community in a letter. This was about a major innovation expected to be released in January.

What is it about? Mark Jacobs, the lead designer of Camelot Unchained, has unusually spoken out in a letter to the community about an upcoming innovation.

The fans of the MMORPG should see everything that the developers have been intensively working on since July 2019 in January. In the last few months, there have hardly been any major innovations or game updates.

It should be a “big, immersive experience” that will be different from anything shown before. Jacobs states:

I try to avoid exaggerations, but it truly is a significant update and its importance for our backers, Camelot Unchained, the Unchained Engine, and CSE will, well, be quite obvious.

What is behind the announcement? As grand as the innovation sounds, we already know that it does not involve a release date or anything similar. Camelot Unchained is currently not advanced enough for that.

The major topic over the past months has been NPCs and their implementation in the MMORPG. It is therefore highly likely that the innovation will head in that direction.

Crowfall vs. Camelot Unchained – Who handles the release date more strangely?

von Andreas Bertits

A fun experience for everyone?

What do we know about the innovation? Mark Jacobs has shared some hints about the innovation and a poem with the readers in the letter. From this, it can be inferred that

The big announcement is intended to be a fun experience and not just a tech demo.
It includes a lot of “new and fun content”.
It revolves around big battles.
Not everything is currently optimized, so backers with strong hardware are being sought to test the innovation early.

The poem also suggests that the innovation paves the way for a more complete game. Currently, the Beta 1 primarily tests individual scenarios of the MMORPG.

What does this have to do with NPCs? The focus over the past months has been on the NPCs in Camelot Unchained. Although the game is a PvP sandbox MMORPG, the computer-controlled fighters still play an important role:

They are to defend the fortresses with you and even in your absence against enemies.
They are to escort caravans.
They are to serve as merchants from whom you can buy and sell items.

The developers of Camelot Unchained are working on a dynamic system called “The Overmind”, which aims to adjust the number of NPCs based on player activity.

It is quite possible that this system has now been completed and will be implemented in January. This may potentially be combined with a fully open world. That would at least bring Camelot Unchained closer to a finished game version.

In August, we looked at the development of Camelot Unchained in the first half of 2019:

Pokémon GO: New bug shows camera request for every Pokémon – What to do?

Noah Struthoff 3. January 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

A nasty bug is causing problems in Pokémon GO, triggering a camera prompt every time a Pokémon is clicked. We show you what Niantic says about this issue.

What kind of bug is this? Players report that they are asked whether they want to use the AR mode each time they click on a Pokémon. No matter what they press, they are asked again for the next Pokémon.

It seems that especially Android users are affected since the latest update. This update has been a requirement to play Pokémon GO since January 2nd.

Update 11:20 AM: Many players have reported that the update has completely fixed the error. If you don’t have the update yet in the Play Store, it should be available shortly.

Niantic knows about the problem – Announces bug fix

This is what Niantic says: On Twitter, the developers are responding to angry players who are upset about the bug. They state that they will roll out another update addressing the AR function and the prompt related to it.

Recommended editorial content

At this point you will find external content from Twitter that complements the article.

Some players have already downloaded the APK of this version and claim that the update fixes the problem. So, if you can’t wait any longer, you can download the APK. Alternatively, the version should appear in the App Store in a few days.

Niantic itself is probably quite annoyed by the problem, as they are working hard on the AR mode to realize their true vision.

Are there already solutions? There is no general solution. Players report that simply reinstalling the app is necessary to fix the issue. Unfortunately, this doesn’t work for all players.

Another solution is said to be revoking the camera permission for the app first. Here are the steps to do this:

Disable the camera permission for Pokémon GO in the phone settings
Start the app
Keep the app running in the background and reactivate the camera permission

This trick helps most players. However, if you close the app again, you have to start all over again. So, it only provides temporary relief.

All affected players will have to be patient and hope that the new update finally fixes the bug.

WoW Classic: Crazy – Group of only 4 people kills Raid boss Onyxia

Cortyn 3. January 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

Onyxia is one of the raid bosses in WoW Classic – actually meant for 40 players. But it can also be done with four, although it takes a long time.

Those who think of Onyxia in World of Warcraft Classic probably have an epic battle with 40 players against a dragon in mind. But is that many players really necessary? No. Only a fraction of that is enough, as a group has now proven. Only four players – which is 10% of the actual group size – were needed to defeat the black dragon lady.

What happened? A group of four players faced Onyxia and emerged victorious from the battle. The group consisted of two healers (priest and paladin), a warrior as tank, and a hunter as damage dealer.

What makes this so special? It is remarkable that this kill was achieved by the four-player group, despite having relatively poor equipment in WoW: Classic so far. Particularly powerful items, such as those from Ahn’Qiraj and Naxxramas, are not yet available. These raids are supposed to appear only in Phase 3 and Phase 4.

But the costs of the fight and the duration are impressive as well. The battle against Onyxia lasted a full 56 minutes and demanded quite a bit of resources from the team. Logs show that the paladin and priest together consumed 49 mana potions and used 46 dark runes to have enough mana for this challenge.

Shortly before the end of the fight, the priest even died, but that was probably intentional to heal a few more seconds with “Spirit of Redemption.”

WoW: 3 epic quest lines that no one remembers anymore

Was there something like this before? Yes, even back in the days of Vanilla, there were many attempts to defeat Onyxia with as few players as possible. The then record was only three players, but that is hardly comparable to the current state. Because back then, players had much better equipment since Naxxramas and other content had already been released. At the same time, the “3-man kill” happened at a time when patch 2.0 had already been applied and characters already had access to the new talents. Strictly speaking, that wasn’t really “Classic” anymore.

In any case, this is quite an impressive achievement and probably not for players with weak nerves – because who can stand a boss fight lasting an hour?

These are the 5 best WoW raids of all time

In a Beta in April and a release in May 2020, we will surely learn more about New World.

In the new MMO New World, sword meets gunpowder

Schuhmann 2. January 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

The unusual setting in the new MMO from Amazon, New World, brings an unusual mix of weapons. As revealed to us by MeinMMO, Game Director Scot Lane mentioned that in the game, the weapon categories “Sword and Shield” and “Gunpowder and Ammunition” will collide.

Since the first days of New World, we have seen two different technology levels in the weapon Concept Art images:

On one hand, there were archaic weapons like pikes, swords, spears, axes, or bows
But the images also showcased early firearms: war devices reminiscent of flintlock pistols or muskets

Even in the promotional trailer for New World, where conquistadors fought against legionaries, firearms and swords were shown used on equal terms.

In a conversation between MeinMMO and the Game Director of New World, Scot Lane, in mid-December, we addressed this point.

This is what the Game Director told us: We asked Lane what is special about New World that everyone should know. Lane first pointed to the large battles and the combat system of New World.

If you like open-world MMOs, action combat, and massive battles, give us a try. Even if you only like one of those things, try New World.
Scot Lane

A special time when two technologies collide

Lane particularly highlighted the unusual setting. After all, New World is set on an Atlantic island in the 17th century:

I would also like to emphasize the lore; our version of an untouched, supernatural continent in the 17th century is really cool.
We refer to the world like this: It is the last moment when sword and shield are used, and the first breath that ammunition and gunpowder take. It is a special time when these two technologies collide, and that makes it exciting and fun for us.
Scot Lane

The “firearms” seen in older screenshots of New World are therefore still an important component of the new version of New World, so important that the Game Director highlights it as a special element.

These are the 3 largest and most popular LoL teams in EU and NA

Alexander Leitsch 2. January 2020 Reading time 4 minutes

2019 was a record year for League of Legends. Never before have more fans followed the games. Let’s take a look at which teams were particularly popular in Europe and North America last year: These are the largest and most popular teams.

Which teams were particularly popular in 2019? Based purely on the viewer numbers of league matches in the LEC and LCS, according to Esports Charts:

The European team Fnatic was the most popular LoL team here in the West. Their games in the LEC had an average of 262,000 viewers.
In second place is G2 Esports with 256,000 average viewers.
In third place sits Team Liquid, the first team from the LCS.

People Watch Winners

What stands out: The three most popular teams are also the most successful teams nationally and internationally in recent years. The viewer numbers are on the side of the winners.

In Europe, G2 Esports and Fnatic are clearly dominant. Both teams have been vying for the LEC champion title for almost a decade. Between 2013 and 2019, either one or the other team won 15 out of 16 championships. In 2019, G2 Esports was more successful and even made it to the World Finals, yet Fnatic remains ahead.

In the USA, Team Solo Mid was considered “the biggest team” in 2017, having won 6 championships by then. Since 2018, however, TSM has handed over the favorite status to Team Liquid, which has been successful with a new team in the last two years and won 4 championships. Before 2018, Team Liquid was seen as a laughingstock in the USA, according to their own star Doublelift – that has changed.

It is striking in the statistics that more fans in the West follow the European teams than the American ones. In total, 7 teams from the LEC and only 3 teams from the LCS made it into the Top 10.

G2 eSports is the big winner of 2019

How does the development compare to the previous year? Last year, Fnatic clearly dominated the global ranking, which also includes the Worlds and looked at viewing duration rather than viewer counts.

Nevertheless, it is evident that Fnatic lost viewers due to the failure in 2018, the departure of midlaner Caps, and the performance in 2019.

In the 2018 ranking, Cloud9 was also in second place, ahead of G2 Esports, SKT1, and Team Liquid. That has changed in 2019 as well.

LoL World Champion (22) shares about the obsessive-compulsive disorder that ended his career

Numbers are made up of Livestream Viewers

Where do the numbers come from? The numbers come from Esports Charts, a website that analyzes livestream viewers. For this statistic, the average number of viewers for matches of the respective teams was compared.

The website accesses data from over 150,000 different livestreams from various platforms.

Why do the numbers differ from those of Riot Games? Esports Charts evaluates only the livestreams for which they have access to statistics. Therefore, Chinese viewers are excluded from all the data. Additionally, any broadcasts outside of livestreams or on TV are not recorded.

2019 – A Year of Records for LoL

How did 2019 go for LoL? Compared to the previous year, significantly more fans watched the LoL European Championship in 2019. During the Summer Split, a record for the league was set with almost 840,000 viewers at peak, according to Esports Charts.

The big record for LoL was however set at the Worlds 2019, when almost 4 million people simultaneously followed the match between SKT1 and G2 Esports. This match is currently the most viewed esports event ever.

LoL also set a new record on Twitch. There, the final between G2 Esports and FunPlus Phoenix achieved the highest concurrent viewer count on the platform.

Riot Games itself also reports a record. At peak, 44 million people simultaneously tuned into the LoL Worlds 2019, when all available channels are included. Never before have so many people watched a world championship.

However, 2019 was a successful year for the game itself as well. With the new game mode Teamfight Tactics, LoL was able to increase player numbers by 33% and become the most popular game on PC.

What can we expect in 2020? This year could indeed see viewer counts rise again. Many interesting transfers have been made that could make the American LCS particularly exciting.

The LoL star Faker plans to make a comeback in the Worlds 2020 in Shanghai and win a title. Whether he will succeed may also depend on a special factor.

Additionally, League of Legends plans to release a mobile and console version with Wild Rift. The beta for it is expected to launch in 2020, but with significantly fewer champions than on PC. The release is also planned for this year:

LoL comes as Wild Rift for mobile and probably also PS4, Xbox One

FIFA 20: How to make the most of Icon Swaps 2

Max Handwerk 2. January 2020 Reading time 4 minutes

In FIFA 20 you can secure new legends for your team with the second round of Icon Swaps. Which combinations are the most worthwhile?

These are the Icon Swaps 2: Just like in the first round of Icon Swaps, you can earn tokens again to get new icons for your team. These cost again varyingly many tokens making it essential to complete several of the new tasks.

Among other things, you have to solve Owner Tasks again. If you succeed, the following icons await you for your efforts:

Moore (5 tokens)
Rijkaard (5 tokens)
Hierro (6 tokens)
Van der Sar (6 tokens)
Raul (10 tokens)
Koeman (10)
Pires (10 tokens)
Seedorf (10 tokens)
Socrates (11)
Zambrotta (11)
Nakata (11)
Figo (13)
Campbell (14)
Blanc (14)
Lineker (14)
Barnes (19)
Hernandez (19)
Del Piero (20)
Ronaldinho (21)
Vieira (23)
Essien (23 tokens)

A large selection of icons. If one of your favorite players is among them, the choice is of course easy. But at the same time, there are many combinations possible to get the most out of the Icon Swaps. We show you the best.

The best combinations for Icon Swaps 2

Moore – Hierro – Rijkaard – Van der Sar

Why this combination is worthwhile: This combo offers a lot of support for defense. With Van der Sar you get a strong keeper, in front of whom Moore and Hierro form a good combination in defense. Plus, you can deploy Rijkaard in midfield.

This combination is for you if: You want to get as many icons for your tokens as possible. Overall, you will spend 22 tokens and get four icons for it – more than in any other combination. If you’re just looking for legends to have more flexibility regarding chemistry in your teams, you’re in the right place. Only in attack does this combination fall flat. It also comes that the lower-priced icons can be obtained early, while you have to wait longer for more expensive icons to complete more tasks.

Alternatively, you can also drop two of the players and instead include Raul, Pires, or another offensive player if you want another attacker.

FIFA 20: Why FUT urgently needs a tournament mode again

von Max Handwerk

Seedorf – Lineker

Why this combination is worthwhile: This combination costs you 24 tokens, but gives you two strong players that you can use for a long time. One of them is Base Seedorf, who has a “only” 85 rating, but represents a real reinforcement in midfield with his attributes.

The advantage: As a CM, he offers many combination possibilities for hybrid teams since you can use him as a hub with a lot of chemistry. Additionally, you get Prime Lineker, an attacker whose total score of 92 is still usable at the end of the season.

This combination is for you if: You are already well positioned defensively and are looking rather for midfield and attack. Although you only get two icons, both are usable in the long term. Furthermore, you get two central players whose chemistry bonus gives you many options when building teams.

Alternatively, you could replace Lineker with Blanc, who has significantly less overall rating and costs the same. However, you could also combine Figo with Seedorf for a similar price and get a good winger.

Zambrotta – Raul

Why this combination is worthwhile: For Bundesliga fans, Raul is probably one of the most exciting icons – after all, the Spaniard made a lot of impression during his time at Schalke 04. Even among fans who are not aligned with Schalke. Those who have him in attack get a technically strong striker.

Zambrotta, on the other hand, is intended for defense. With his 91 pace, he doesn’t need to hide from any defender or attacker on the right side – even if he has “only” an 86 in total rating. He forms the perfect defensive winger duo with Roberto Carlos from Icon Swaps 1.

This combination is for you if: You already have strong players in midfield and are rather looking for reinforcement in defense and attack. The combination will cost you 21 tokens. As an alternative to Raul, you can also afford Koeman or Pires with Zambrotta if you’re looking in other positions.

Who is worth it for the individual players?

These are the individual players: Four players in Icon Swaps 2 are so expensive that you can’t afford any other. They are:

Del Piero
Ronaldinho
Essien
Vieira

All four should be known to football fans. Especially Ronaldinho thrilled with his tricks for years – and is therefore something for skill players. Del Piero guarantees a lot of goals with his 90 shot rating, while Essien and Vieira are the perfect sweepers in midfield.

You should get these players if: You already have a strong team that only needs reinforcement at the top. These strong legends are extremely expensive. But if you have the time to complete the necessary tasks and at the same time have no use for additional icons, one of the individual players could be worth it for you.

Pokémon GO: New loading screen shows these 3 Pokémon from Gen 5 – How strong are they?

Noah Struthoff 2. January 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

In Pokémon GO, there is now a new loading screen that also shows Pokémon from the 5th generation that are not yet in the game. We will show you how strong these monsters will be.

What is this loading screen? Even before the end of the Christmas event, the winter loading screen has disappeared and made way for a new one. It shows rocks above the clouds and numerous Pokémon.

Pokémon from all generations can be seen there, including Pikachu, Tyranitar, and Kaumalat. However, there are also 3 Pokémon that are not yet in the game. We will introduce them to you.

These 3 Pokémon from the Unova Region are shown

Milza: The Pokémon can be seen standing next to the trainer on the left. It resembles Dratini or Kaumalat from the 5th generation a bit. It then evolves into Maxax, a powerful Dragon-type Pokémon.

Maxax is then really useful. It has the same attack value as Rayquaza and is just slightly less sturdy in battle. So if you are looking for an equivalent replacement for Rayquaza, you will find it in Maxax.

Pokémon GO: First look at Gen 5 – These 7 Pokémon you should remember

Cerapendra: The Bug and Poison-type Pokémon can be found at the top left of the image. It sits next to Kaumalat. In Pokémon GO, you will probably find its pre-evolution Toxiped instead.

Cerapendra will not really change the meta of Pokémon GO significantly. There are clearly better Bug attackers and its attack value of 203 is not particularly good. Its other stats are unfortunately not better either.

Strawickl: This Pokémon sits at the bottom right of the loading screen. It is of the Bug and Grass types and has two further evolutions. Its final evolution is called Matrifol.

Matrifol has very similar stats to Cerapendra. An attack value of 205 is not a significant competitor to the top Bug attackers.

When might the Pokémon come? That is still not quite clear. However, the image at least hints that something could happen soon. Niantic announced new Unova Pokémon for January. So these 3 monsters could be part of the new wave.

However, you must also consider that Pokémon such as Sesokitz and Kronjuwild were already seen on the last loading screen. Both Pokémon are not yet in the game. Therefore, the loading screen does not necessarily have to provide hints.

There are also new field researches. We will show them to you with all the rewards:

Pokémon GO: Field Research in January 2020 – All Rewards and Shinys

By the way, Patch 8.3 is starting soon – These are the things you should definitely do beforehand!

WoW: If you don’t have these two mounts yet, you need to hurry up

Cortyn 2. January 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

Only 5 days left, and then two of the coolest mounts in WoW will no longer be available. Last call for those who still want the mounts.

In World of Warcraft, the birthday event has been active for a few weeks, enticing players with powerful buffs and some additional activities. But this time is now coming to an end. Those who want the two mounts from the birthday event must hurry this week – otherwise, they could be gone forever.

Which mounts are we talking about? We’re referring to the Obsidian Worldbreaker, which is clearly inspired by the dragon Deathwing. The second mount varies by faction and is based on the iconic factions from the Alterac Valley – the Stormpike Battle Ram (Alliance) and the Frostwolf Howler (a wolf).

You can earn the mounts from two different types of content – once PvP and once PvE. Both variants are quite simple and only require some time commitment.

This is how you get the Ram and the Wolf: From the battleground “Korrak’s Revenge,” you can get the Stormpike Battle Ram (Alliance) or the Frostwolf Howler (Horde). If you obtain one of the two mounts, you will also automatically possess the other, but can only use them with characters of the corresponding faction.

To obtain the two mounts, you need to earn 200 Time-Warped Badges with a single character in Korrak’s Revenge. These are awarded for completing the battleground, but also for the numerous daily and repeatable quests in the battleground. For instance, you can capture a mine or tame rams to earn the badges.

This is how you get the Deathwing mount: The Obsidian Worldbreaker, on the other hand, is available for all players who complete 3 “new” raid wings. You can sign up for it with Chromie in the Caverns of Time. Each wing consists of 3 bosses, and usually, you only have to clear one or two phases of each boss encounter. The mechanics are sometimes a bit more challenging than in a normal LFR raid, but in the second or third attempt, any group should be able to defeat the bosses.

If you have defeated all 9 bosses, you will automatically receive the achievement, and the Obsidian Worldbreaker will be added to your collection.

When does the event end? The birthday of World of Warcraft ends on January 8 at 8:00 AM. Anyone who wants the rewards should ensure that they obtain them by January 7 at the latest.

Will the mounts ever return? This is uncertain. The 15th-anniversary event of WoW is significantly larger than previous events and thus a special occurrence. It is quite possible that parts of this event, such as the raid or the battleground “Korrak’s Revenge,” may not return in the coming years. If so, then the associated mounts will no longer be available.

Anyone who wants to be safe and doesn’t want a gaping hole in their mount collection in the coming years should grab both mounts now.

Have you already obtained both mounts? Or have you accepted living with this gap in your collection?

CoD MW: Player struggles for special weapon skin – But it hinders him

Andreas Bertits 2. January 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

Players who struggle to earn the Platinum Skin in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (PC, PS4, Xbox One) will experience their blue wonder. This skin has a significant disadvantage.

How do you get the Platinum Skin? You must collect all Camos for every weapon in a class to receive the special Platinum Skin. This can take quite a long time.

Cool Skin with a Big Disadvantage

What is the disadvantage of the skin? Once you own the Platinum Skin, your weapon gets a metallic shine – Platinum.

While it looks stylish, Platinum reflects light. And that’s where the problem lies. When light shines on your weapon in CoD Modern Warfare, it reflects so strongly that you can no longer aim properly. This is extremely problematic in precarious combat situations.

Here you can see what it looks like with a Platinum Skin in the worst case:

Wait, hasn’t something like this happened before? Yes, the Gold Skins of weapons also have such an effect and make it difficult for players to aim in certain situations. However, Gold Skins are easier to find.

What do the players say about this? The community is not too thrilled about having to spend a lot of time to earn the Platinum Skin, only for it to come with disadvantages.

Leather_Cake commented on Reddit: “I was nearly blinded when I saw it. Really.”
BigScaryGarlicBoy wrote: “Wow, I think I should stop grinding then…”
WolfGangEvo jokingly stated: “Realism, just as the developers intended.”

The developers are looking for a solution

Is there a solution? The player farrellsgone wrote on Reddit: “I had this problem, but after I turned off Motion Blur, it stopped.”

Those affected by the issues with Platinum Skins in CoD MW can try turning off Motion Blur or must wait for a fix.

CoD Modern Warfare brings favorite mode back – That’s why fans are still angry

What do the developers say about it? One of the developers from Infinity Ward commented on Reddit. He wrote:

This reminds me of cases in the past where scope lenses shone too brightly under perfect light conditions at certain angles while using ADS. The solution to these issues was not easy. In this case, I need to discuss this with the weapons team and try to find a creative solution. I’ll write this down in my holiday notes before I go back to the office on Monday.

So it seems that finding a solution to this problem is not that simple.

How Pokémon GO Confused the Canadian Military in 2016

Noah Struthoff 2. January 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

In the summer of 2016, Pokémon GO caused a stir worldwide. The Canadian military was aware of this and apparently had quite some trouble understanding this hype.

This has now come to light: The Canadian site CBC published documents from the military that show the handling of Pokémon players in the summer of 2016.

Some documents are quite funny, as they show that the military initially had no idea what was happening on their grounds. More and more unauthorized individuals were entering military territory because it apparently had many Pokémon to catch.

This is how the military fought against Pokémon players

How it all started: The documents indicate that the military initially did not understand what the citizens were suddenly searching for on their grounds.

More and more passersby were getting lost on various military bases of the army. They stopped cars and even found a woman searching for Pokémon on the grounds while her children played on tanks.

This was communicated by the military: Officers then tried to clarify among themselves and explain to the uninvited guests. Major Jeff Monaghan said in an email: “Please inform the Commissionaires that Fort Frontenac apparently has both a Gym and a PokéStop. I want to be honest, I have no idea what that is.”

According to the documents, the military even had at least 3 employees mandated to play, so they could understand what was happening on their grounds. The employees were supposed to highlight the locations of PokéStops and Gyms and document Pokémon spawns.

“We should almost hire a 12-year-old to help us,” wrote David Levenick, a security expert at a military base in Borden, Ontario.

Another Major even mentioned in an email that this might increase the visitor numbers at the museum on the base and even suggested submitting another PokéStop on one base to also increase visitor numbers there.

Are there more reports like this? Pokémon GO repeatedly turns up in connection with crazy actions from people. For example, there is a Gym that the fire department and police are battles over.

In Florida, a drug dealer was caught because he was playing Pokémon GO. A Japanese man even hit a police officer because the officer interrupted him while he was hunting Pokémon.

In Australia, the police even set clear boundaries for Pokémon hunters:

Tfue was the biggest Twitch streamer in 2019 thanks to Fortnite – But he is missing something

Schuhmann 2. January 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

The Twitch streamer Turner “Tfue” Tenney (21) was the most viewed streamer on Twitch in 2019. Fortnite brought him to the top. Confronted with these numbers, he does not seem euphoric, but rather as if he would have preferred to win an award. Nevertheless, he says: “Numbers don’t lie.”

What numbers are these? Tfue looks at a clip showing which Twitch channels had the most viewed hours in 2019. Here, Tfue is in 3rd place with 88.05 million hours – behind RiotGames (LoL) and the Overwatch League.

But Tfue is far ahead of other individual streamers like summit1g, xQc, shroud, or Asmongold. He has about 20 million more viewed hours than the second largest individual streamer on Twitch.

This makes the Fortnite star the number 1 streamer and the “new face of Twitch” – after Tyler “Ninja” Blevins held the title in 2018 and before Guy “DrDisrespect” Beahm claimed it (where DrDisrespect still considers himself the face of Twitch in 2020).

Tfue: We didn’t win any awards

How does Tfue react to these numbers? Tfue must actually know that he was the most viewed streamer in 2019, even before he sees the numbers again on esportobserver. In the clip, he seems somehow strange. He says:

„Listen up, guys. We didn’t win any streamer awards this year or any eSports awards, but at the end of the day: the numbers don’t lie.”
Tfue

Tfue then thanks his viewers for their support but says again, “they brought him to the top over all the streamers who were awarded.”

At the end of the clip, Tfue highlights the subtitle “The New Face of Twitch.”

Twitch-DrDisrespect — DrDisrespect has far fewer viewers than Tfue but won an award in 2019.

What’s going on with Tfue? Tfue seems upset in the clip that he didn’t win an award in 2019. There are various awards that Tfue might have been keen on.

For example, the eSports Awards 2019 were held in November:

Matthew “Nadeshot” Haag won “eSports Personality of the Year”
YouTuber Craig “Mini Ladd” Thompson was named “eSports Content Creator of the Year”
Fortnite World Champion Kyle “Bugha” Giersdorf was crowned PC Player of the Year
DrDisrespect won the title for Streamer of the Year – having also won it in 2017

Fortnite-Bugha-1140x445 — Kyle Bugha Giersdorf won this year’s awards that Tfue was aiming for.

At the “The Game Awards 2019”, a major event, Kyle “Bugha” Giersdorf, the Fortnite World Champion, also won the title of eSports Player of the Year.

The 3 biggest German streamers on Twitch and what makes them so successful

von Benedict Grothaus

Apparently, it bothers Tfue that despite clearly being number 1 on Twitch in 2019, he couldn’t win any awards:

he is neither honored as a major eSports player, even though he plays Fortnite much better than most other Twitch streamers
he is also not honored as a streamer, personality, or content creator, even though he was more successful than anyone else

In 2018, Tyler “Ninja” Blevins took home two first-place awards for Streamer and Personality of the Year at the eSports Awards. Clearly, it was still customary to give the most successful Twitch streamer an award then. However, Tfue went home empty-handed in 2019.

Tfue is evidently an ambitious person, as is often noticed, so it seems to bother him that he couldn’t win an award.

ninja-tfue-titel-01 — The two are considered rivals on Twitch: Tfue and Ninja.

In the Shadow of Ninja

Ninja was number 1 on Twitch in 2018 but had significantly more viewer hours than Tfue in 2019, which is also likely due to the fact that Fortnite had a different status on Twitch in 2018 than in 2019.

Following the departure of Ninja and shroud, Tfue is the active streamer on Twitch with the most followers, although in the past few months only Asmongold through WoW and recently xQc have dominated the streaming platform Twitch.

Tfue seems somehow dissatisfied with his position as “number 1” on Twitch and has already taken a longer break.

This MMORPG failed brutally on PC, now comes as a mobile game

Alexander Leitsch 2. January 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

The MMORPG Bless Online attracted a lot of attention in 2018, but failed brutally and was shut down again in 2019. Now it is set to return, but as a mobile game.

What was Bless? Bless Online was a theme park MMORPG from Asia, which was said to have cost 61 million dollars in development. It looked graphically good and aimed to impress gamers with a focus on quests, story, and open-world PvP.

Since 2018 was not a good year for MMORPG fans, Bless was eagerly awaited by many players. However, the game not only failed in its own country, but also failed brutally with us.

There were various reasons for this:

Missing promised content
Many technical problems
The focus on PvP annoyed many players
Lack of endgame at the beginning
The localization was highly flawed

Rest in Peace: These 9 MMOs unfortunately died in 2019

von Alexander Leitsch

What happens now? Although the PC version failed in many countries, the developer Neowiz has not completely given up on the franchise.

Currently, Neowiz is working with publisher Bandai Namco on an Xbox version called “Bless Unleashed“. It was originally scheduled for release in 2019, but has been postponed for now.

However, they are still active in another area. The Chinese company Longtu Games is working on a mobile version: Bless Eternal.

Will Bless succeed as a mobile MMORPG?

What is Bless Eternal? Bless Eternal is a mobile MMORPG set in the world of Bless. It has been in development since 2017 and uses Unreal Engine 4, while the PC version was still based on the predecessor UE3. It is also expected to use ray tracing for more realistic objects.

On the website MMOCulture, it sounds like Bless Eternal will receive significantly more PvE content than the PC version. The developer Longtu Games is expected to focus on group dungeons where skill and cooperative gameplay play an important role.

In addition, classic features such as life skills, mounts, and pets are planned. Bless Online even managed to impress with its special pet system. However, it is not known whether this will be transferred to the mobile version.

Can Bless Mobile convince? Bless Online primarily failed due to technical problems, a PvP focus, and missing endgame content. These issues could theoretically be resolved in a new mobile version.

Moreover, the game is being developed by a different company that has already successfully developed several mobile games. Since the market for mobile MMORPGs is booming, it is entirely possible that Bless Eternal could become successful.

We have compiled the currently best mobile MMORPGs for you from MeinMMO.

Will Bless Eternal come to the West? So far, there is no information about a release of Bless Eternal in China or Korea. Whether the game will even come to the West is also unknown.

Only the Xbox version Bless Unleashed is already confirmed for us:
