Wobble Worm Helmets are Strange, Wobbly, and Funny
Especially streamers love to show off the Wobble Worms. The helmets resemble giant puppets that are placed over the head and wobble along with the movements of the characters.
Besides streamers and YouTubers, even the “regular” hunters are excited about the helmets and share their adventures as Wobble Worms.
“When you think about your life as a Wobble Worm and it makes no sense.”
It is particularly special when hunters walk through the mostly dramatically staged movie scenes in Monster Hunter World wearing the Wobble Worm helmet. The wobbly head with the serious expression looks so strange with every movement that it is simply funny.

The pre-alpha of the MMO Dual Universe was previously only accessible to backers. Access has not been sold for a certain period of time. But now the gates to the massive game world are open for more players.
Anyone interested in the online game Dual Universe and would like to join now, in this early development phase, can purchase one of the supporter packs. This way, you not only support the further development of the game but also get to play and give your feedback.
Secure advantages, but consider the disadvantages of early access
As a supporter, you receive certain advantages:
You test features before they are publicly announced
You actively support development with your feedback
You participate in pre-alpha tests
You receive beta codes that you may distribute
You will receive cosmetic items
You will get Dual Access Coupons that grant you up to one year of free access to the game after release. Normally, you need to subscribe to play.
With €60 for the smallest package, entering the world of Dual Universe is more expensive. You should only do this if you are aware of the disadvantages of such an early access: It is not a finished game, it is not yet running smoothly, and there is no guarantee that development will proceed smoothly and quickly as you imagine.
Test the massive game world
If you decide to invest in Dual Universe, you will participate in the pre-alpha tests and experience the massive game world that is stored on a single server.
This means you interact with thousands of players in the same universe, where there are no loading times. You start from a planet, fly into space to another world without loading screens, and land there also without loading times. Furthermore, you create buildings, space stations, ships, and entire cities according to your ideas. This allows you to enjoy enormous freedom in the game.

StarCraft 2 Gifts in Overwatch, Hearthstone, HotS, and WoW

The new patch for Fortnite is coming today. It will bring a new mode and fresh skins. The hoverboards in PvE are also getting some love. We will show you the patch notes and discuss the highlights of the new update.
Today, during maintenance, the next patch for Fortnite will be deployed. It is a rather small patch with bug fixes and quality-of-life changes. But it also brings a new mode for Battle Royale and more options to build huge hoverboard tracks in “Save the World”.
On PC, there’s now another anti-cheat program with Easy Anti-Cheat. It alternates with BattlEye.
Battle Royale
In Battle Royale, there is the announced 20-player team mode. Here, five teams of 20 players each will fight against each other. Each team consists of five squads of four players. In this mode, there are more treasure chests and ammo crates than usual. Only the position of the first storm is random; afterwards, the eye of the storm remains in the center.

The hunting rifle will function similarly to a sniper rifle. When aiming and not moving, it achieves perfect accuracy.
As a new skin, there’s Bull in Fortnite: Battle Royale.
Save the World
In Save the World, there will be a hoverboard turbo pad. This will make it even more like Mario Kart. The turbo pad accelerates the hoverboard towards the marked point. The sketch is a quest reward for “Do you want to build a hoverboard?”
Additionally, the Wukong skin is now also available in PvE. He is the mythical version of the Berserker soldier from the Lunar New Year event and is available in the event shop.
In PvE, there are also numerous changes to weapon advantages and group missions.

The allied race of Dark Iron Dwarves in WoW will also be playable as shamans. The cool totems have been discovered in the files.
With the upcoming expansion for World of Warcraft, there are some new races that will join the Horde and Alliance. These “Allied Races” are a core feature of Battle for Azeroth. While most races have already revealed their details, information about the Dark Iron Dwarves is still missing. They will join the Alliance and are expected to be unlocked during the campaign in Kul Tiras.
Which classes the Dark Iron Dwarves will be able to choose is still unclear. Initial hints suggested that shamans were not included – but that has now changed!
The reason for this assumption is information from the latest Alpha patch of Battle for Azeroth. Data miners from wowhead and mmo-champion immediately delved into the new game data and brought a lot of new information to light.
A series of totems have been read that are visually clearly associated with the dwarves. Instead of having a typical wooden shape, the totems apparently consist of metal and resemble an anvil of the Shadow Forge. Additionally, they have the typical drill bits of the Dark Iron Dwarves on the bottom. A small preview video by YouTuber LeystTV shows the totems.

Mercy will soon be shouting loudly over the battlefields of Overwatch. Because heroes never die – even if they are not resurrected.
In Overwatch, there are a number of memorable voicelines that players remember and that immediately trigger an association even for non-players of the shooter. Everyone knows Tracer’s “Cheers, love. The cavalry is here!” or McCree’s “The hour has come…”.
However, hardly any voiceline comes close to Mercy’s “Heroes never die!” or “Helden sterben nicht!”. That is practically the one sentence that all players instantly associate with Mercy.
Since Mercy’s rework, the line is rarely used, only occasionally when she resurrects a single player. As a result, the voiceline loses its power and significance. You only hear it when your character is right next to Mercy.
Mercy’s most popular voiceline will be part of the Ultimate again
Players miss this voiceline very much, as in the forums it is often demanded that Mercy should shout “Heroes never die!” loudly over the battlefield again.
In the official forum, Michael Chu, the lead writer of Overwatch, has now announced that they want to meet the fans’ wishes.
In the future, when activating Valkyrie, Mercy will again shout “Heroes never die!” in addition to the slight variations that appear with different skins (for instance, with the Halloween witch, it will be “My servants never die!”).
However, there is still no exact timeframe for when this will be implemented. Whether this change will make it into the next patch, which also includes the new hero Brigitte, is uncertain.
Have you missed the voicelines? Or do you think they no longer fit Mercy’s new ultimate and she should get different ones?

The new patch 8.5 of League of Legends (LoL) brings a new ADC and changes existing champions. We show you what’s happening.
With the new update 8.5, the developers bring a few minor changes to League of Legends. This update could entice some champions that have been gathering dust. We show you why downloading patch 8.5 is worth it in this overview that consists of exactly 6.5 points.
1. Kai’Sa, the daughter of the Void joins League of Legends
Patch 8.5 introduces the ADC “Kai’Sa” as the first new champion in 2018. If you had to compare Kai’Sa with an existing LoL champion, it would probably be Vayne. She uses stackable attacks with a trigger that deals percentage health damage. This works similarly to Vayne’s Silverbolts. Kai’Sa can also briefly become invisible to reposition herself.
The option for open groups will be activated during patch 8.5. Once activated, open groups will be enabled by default.
The advantage of these open groups is that friends on your friends list can see your group right away. There will also be information on which queue you are in and how large your current group is. With one click, friends can then join you – it works completely without an invitation.
So if you like playing with people from your friends list, use the open groups as a general invitation to anyone.
3. Command Banner no longer brings Super Mutants
The command banner worked well with the Baron buff. And by that, we mean: it was quite OP! Especially in high-ranked games, you saw the interaction between the command banner buff and the Baron buff. The additional damage that cannon minions dealt to towers was cumulative and led to the absolute destroyer minions.
Unfortunately, with patch 8.5, that is over. The banner buff no longer accumulates with the same effect as the Hand of the Baron on siege minions.
4. A new skin for Illaoi – WOOHOO!
It was about time. Since release, Illaoi has had only two skins (Standard + Void Bringer) available. After two years, this will change with patch 8.5. Riot let the community vote on which Illaoi should come. The majority chose “Resistance Illaoi,” which is now making its way to League of Legends.
Swain received his long-awaited rework this year. A few adjustments have also been made to Rengar. However, the popularity of both champions has not been very good lately. Therefore, the developers have stepped in and made further tweaks to both.
Rengar’s ferocity now decays after eight instead of just six seconds. His ultimate ability “Hunting Fever” has also received a minor adjustment. The absolute vision on a target now lasts until Rengar lands his jump. Previously, the vision expired when Rengar started the jump. His Q ability “Brutality” also deals more base damage and now scales better.
Swain is boosted with a few buffs. The cooldown on his Q ability “Death’s Grasp” is reduced at the first levels. With his General’s Insight (W), you can now hit targets more easily as the radius has been increased. His E ability “Nevermore” also receives a higher radius.
With her one-shot debut in League of Legends, she didn’t make it easy for the community. Riot addressed her “overwhelming” strengths in a later patch. However, in certain situations, she is supposed to have more power again. The coupling of Q “Star Surge” and her passive ability will be separated. As a result, Q no longer deals the Spark damage on the first target hit. Q also deals less AOE damage but now has increased base damage.
Additionally, the range of her normal attacks and her W ability “Spell Thief” has been increased.
Let’s briefly remember Zoe’s beginnings:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oFC0b0gxw8
6.5. Increased tower damage, Hooray!
Towers now deal more damage to minions. After Riot removed the additional damage from champions to minions in patch 8.4, some champions had issues with last hitting under the tower. With patch 8.5, towers deal 45% of the maximum health of a melee minion instead of 43% of the maximum health of a melee minion when attacking.
In doing so, they also “fixed” a bug. Towers had previously indicated that they dealt 45% damage to minions, although the value was 43%. Now the number is correct again.
The new battle royale game Europa: Rings of Elysium is now in closed beta. At least in Indonesia. But apparently, you can also play from here if you use an Asian gaming service. Europa is like a “PUBG with underwater.”
The hype around PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has inspired a multitude of similar projects: Some of them are now playable.
Europa is a battle royale game from the Chinese software giant Tencent. The game is also known under the title Ring of Elysium. As is common in battle royale games, you will be dropped along with 99 other players onto an ever-shrinking area and must kill all other players. Only then can you win.
Destructible Environment and Water as Unique Features
Fun Fact: Developer Tencent also distributes the competing PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds in China!
Closed Beta Only in Indonesia – Registration Probably Possible
The closed beta of Europa: Ring of Elysium is set to start on March 7, 2018. To participate, you need to create a free account on the large Asian gaming platform Garena. Then download the Garena launcher and set the region to Indonesia in the settings (gear icon).
Then wait for the banner for Europa: Ring of Elysium to appear and click on it. You will then be directed to a page where you can register for the closed beta for Europa. According to comments online, you might then be activated for the beta with some luck.
Register at Your Own Risk
But be careful! In addition to your name and email address, they also want your phone number (NO HP). So think carefully about whether you provide that. And keep in mind that your ping from Europa to Indonesia will probably not be the best.

A journalist reports on homophobic remarks in the Overwatch League. He apparently forgot that the nasty words used to be part of his own vocabulary.
In the Overwatch League, a bunch of twenty-somethings play. It shouldn’t be that way, but time and again, words are used that are politically incorrect. One of these words is “faggot.” That is a derogatory term for homosexuals in English. In German, you might translate that as “Schwuchtel.”
Player curses, says: “It wasn’t meant to be that toxic”
Especially a player from Dallas Fuel, xQC, has already stood out as someone who often loses his temper and uses inappropriate language in his stream during the first weeks. The Overwatch League, concerned about its image, punished him with suspensions, and even his own team took action against the player.
Taimou
But this time it wasn’t about him, but about his teammate “Taimou.” He cursed in a Twitch stream on January 23, saying “Fucking faggot kid.” This was reported through the support system, but there was no response from Blizzard.
Taimou himself said later in the stream that he was “accidentally toxic.”

Nonetheless, the incident caught the attention of journalist Jacob Wolf from ESPN, who reported on it. ESPN is a massive sports platform in the USA. In his article, the author criticizes that “anti-homosexual” language had been used and that the Overwatch League had not responded, even after being pointed out.
There were a few statements, and actually, that should have been the end of it.
But as Kotaku reports, something unfortunate happened for the author of the article. Users scoured his own Twitter biography and found numerous tweets from 2014 and earlier, in which the author himself regularly used words like “faggot.”
According to Kotaku, the author even tried to delete these tweets, but screenshots were already circulating.
There’s apparently no statement from ESPN on this yet.
In eSports, young journalists can quickly build a career
Mein MMO says: The ESPN author Jacob Wolf is himself a gamer who became a journalist and is involved in eSports. He has had a steep career in eSports so far, is closely linked to the subject, and therefore has great career opportunities in the booming business of “eSports.”
As far as this can be traced through interviews, Wolf apparently started at the eSports site Daily Dot as a teenager and quickly moved from there to the giant ESPN. He is said to have started there at the age of 19.
The author is now only in his early 20s. The tweets with the homophobic terms he made when he was around 14, 15, 16.
The incident shows that most people in this eSports business are young but are already fully in the public eye. This leads to problems: Many words and terms that are part of everyday youth language are, when looked at soberly, hurtful and absolutely not okay. From professionals, one expects that they are aware of being in the public eye and maintain complete control. Now it shows: This also applies to journalists, and retroactively.
There is a huge hype around eSports. Companies like ESPN want to get in there aggressively. Young authors have the opportunity to rise quickly. Perhaps, on their way up, they should take the time to review their Twitter accounts.
The internet doesn’t just see and hear everything – it also forgets nothing.
Journalist apologizes
In a tweet, Jacob Wolf now apologizes. He stated that he made the tweets at the age of 13 to 17. He regrets these words and asks for forgiveness. Since then he has become more mature and no longer uses these words. Wolf continues to strive to learn from his mistakes and become a better person and journalist.

Fortnite is a phenomenon. The game is so big that even non-gamers are getting involved. For instance, the US morning talk show asks in the name of concerned parents: “How many hours can my child play Fortnite?”
Just like Pokemon GO in the summer of 2016, Fortnite has become so huge that it reaches people who are not into gaming. While in 2016 you couldn’t overlook how many people were running around with their smartphones hunting virtual monsters, in 2018 it is impossible to miss that Fortnite is being played everywhere.
Good Morning America discusses Fortnite
Fortnite: Battle Royale is free, playable on PS4, Xbox One, and PC, and has a low age rating of USK 12. Ideal conditions to become a mega-hit that transcends the boundaries of gaming.
Even the US morning show, “Good Morning, America” has addressed Fortnite.

They let experts and specialists speak who are addressing the concerns of parents “My child plays way too much Fortnite.” Children are disappearing into their rooms and playing the game for hours on end. When they are called for dinner, it’s always: “Just 10 more minutes, Mom,” while the food is getting cold. But the little rascals would rather starve than miss even a minute of Fortnite.
The parents seem mainly worried about appearing as “the bad guys” if they impose a ban, but they are also concerned that homework might fall by the wayside.
Here comes a difficulty: Parents do not want to ban technical devices from their children anymore because they then say: “I need this for my homework.”
Experts praise the social aspect of Fortnite, but call for moderation
The experts explain that Fortnite has several advantages compared to earlier games:
It is interactive and communicative.
Games are no longer “solo affairs” but group activities.
Especially children who are not involved in sports teams can find an environment here.
The interviewed experts took a relatively friendly approach to Fortnite. The game should be enjoyed in moderation. Time recommendations for how many hours of gaming are acceptable could only be given by psychologist Dr. Jonathan Fader to a limited extent.
For children aged two to five, he recommends: “Less than one hour.”
For teenagers, it is about the context: “How does playing affect their daily life? Does it prevent them from doing homework? Does it keep them from participating in other social activities?”
The psychologist says: “I solve this by playing with my children.”
One should not forbid children to play, but rather show them alternatives to what they could do instead.
In May of last year, the Swedish eSports reality show “Gamerz” awarded a six-month professional contract to five up-and-coming players of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. However, the winners were left hanging after just three months. This week, the second season of the unconventional casting show has started. The production team promises improvement.
Last May, a TV show in the style of “Big Brother” was set up in Sweden by Gamingzone Entertainment, in which twelve candidates lived together in a house for three weeks and were supposed to face challenges.
In the end, the candidates were not awarded any material or cash prize, but a pro-gaming contract for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.
The catch: The winners of the first show did not become a super team, but the dream quickly shattered.
Pro-Gamer through Casting Show
After the last broadcast of the show, the five winners began training online together under the guidance of Oskar Holm, one of the coaches of the “Gamerz” show.
In June, the first competition came up, and although the team performed well at the BYOC event of Dreamhack Summer 2017, the promised casting career of the guys went downhill from there.
One of the five winners, Dylan “DH” Hamrini, had to withdraw from the tournament due to his graduation. According to him, the team did not want to train with him anymore afterwards. One of the other participants of the show, Fredrik “Elo” Annerström, filled in for Hamrini. The Gamerz team finished in second place at the BYOC event.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSOsOCoNmR0
Management Issues
On July 27, 2017, player Jonas “Queenix” Dideriksen reported in an interview about the many problems of the team: After Hamrini missed Dreamhack, the team would have fallen apart. Instead of finding replacements or providing the remaining players with a structure, the management of Gamingzone Entertainment is said to have largely ignored the team from that point on.
Dideriksen stated, for example, that he had not received a single paycheck. Furthermore, the team had not worked together since Dreamhack, and their coach had “no time” left to talk to them. The day after the interview, Dideriksen tweeted that Gamerz had finally paid him.
In the end, Gamingzone Entertainment never paid the winners of the Gamerz show the promised six months’ salaries, but instead settled the team with pay for about three months. The players themselves claim that they offered hardly any objections to the halving of their salaries, as the team barely existed at that point anyway, and some of them had moved to other Counter-Strike organizations.
Gamerz’ first attempt to establish an eSports team, therefore, went only moderately well.

The production company Gamingzone Entertainment admitted in a conversation that they could not keep the glamorous promises they made to the winners of the first season of the show. As Robert Jönsson from “Gamerz” explained, they “underestimated” the challenges of establishing good management for a professional team.
This week, the second season of “Gamerz” started, in which the responsible parties will work with the eSports veterans from Fnatic. The winners are to join the Fnatic Academy and be mentored by the organization.
The grand career is no longer promised to the winners: in CS: GO, academy teams are only secondary players who cannot participate in an event when their owner’s main team is already registered. However, in August 2017, two academy players were promoted to Fnatic’s main team.
Finally, it’s time for a back surgery for the Orcs in WoW. We will show you how the green and brown skins look upright.
At BlizzCon 2017, there were numerous announcements regarding World of Warcraft and the upcoming expansion Battle for Azeroth. In addition to the announcements of the Allied Races, which are now largely playable, there was also the revelation that existing races would receive new customization options.
One of these options is that Orcs can walk upright in the new addon. Previously, Orcs have always been hunched over and had a strong hunchback. However, some exceptions, such as Garrosh Hellscream, were able to walk upright. Players have long wished for their Orc to finally have a better posture.
With the latest Alpha patch of Battle for Azeroth, this dream is finally coming true. The models and animations of the upright Orcs have been found in the game data! The colleagues at mmo-champion have already created a small video that provides a first impression of the animations and movements of the upright Orcs.

The adjustment for a straight back for Orcs is likely to come with the pre-patch for Battle for Azeroth, that is, with Patch 8.0, which will be released a few weeks before the official launch – sometime in early summer this year.
If Blizzard adheres to the original plan, then the option for the “Upright” Orcs will simply be added at the barber. Better not ask us why a Goblin barber suddenly has the capability to perform operations on the spine – but at least there will be no costly character customization required.
What do you think of the upright Orcs? Will you have your Orc straighten his back? Or is it part of the Orc experience that they walk hunched?
The mobile MMORPG Black Desert Online seems to be well received. Less than 24 hours after its release in South Korea, the mobile MMO is number 1 in the app charts on Google Play and the App Store.
Black Desert Mobile is the mobile offshoot of the beautiful sandbox MMORPG Black Desert Online. Black Desert has always boasted its stunning graphics and extremely detailed character editor.
However, Black Desert Mobile is not only beautiful, it also seems to be extremely successful!
Shortly after soft launch already at the top of the app charts of Apple and Android
Less than 24 hours after the release of the game as a soft launch, Black Desert Online climbed to the top of the app charts in South Korea.
Both in Apple’s App Store and the Google Play Store, the mobile MMO topped the charts. The developers at Pearl Abyss called it a great success domestically.

Black Desert Online (PC) will soon receive a new zone called “Drieghan” in Korea. You can expect majestic mountains, new grind spots around level 60, and massive dragons.
Black Desert Online will soon receive a new region after the picturesque and somewhat eerie elf forests of Kamasylvia. The zone is called Drieghan and is the opposite of Kamasylvia.
The region of Drieghan includes three new grind spots and the capital Duvencrune. The metropolis is high in the mountains. There, you have a wonderful view of the rest of the land. The three new grind spots are:
Sherekhan’s Grave: This is a zone where you should have level 60 and AP of 230. A new accessory called “Belt of Orkinrad” drops here.
Red Wolf Village: Here, you should be at least level 59 and have an AP of 190. There is “Gaktum’s Obedience Ring” as special loot.
Tshira Ruins: Depending on which creatures you want to kill here, the recommended minimum level is 57 or 60. For AP, you should bring 150 or 220, respectively.
The Realm of the Red Dragon
The highlight of the new region is “Gamos, the Red Dragon”. After all, Drieghan is also called “Land of the Dragon“, so it would be strange if no scaly giant creature showed up.
The dragon Gamos is said to be a rather small but cunning dragon. He was allegedly slain before but managed to escape severely injured. Now, Gamos is back and awaits you as a high-end boss monster. Upon his death, he drops special loot. While there is no weapon, there is the dragon’s heart. With it, you can transform and enhance off-hand weapons.

In the Drieghan region, you will also find the components for a new Awakening weapon called “Dragon Slayer”. To get this, you must grind hard and can then have the weapon crafted in the capital. Additionally, a new mini-game is introduced. To harvest an extremely rare plant from the mountains, you must carefully uncover the roots without damaging them.
The Drieghan region was released on March 7, 2018, in Korea. The western release will hopefully not take too long.
Ubisoft plans three DLCs for the upcoming Far Cry 5 (PC, PS4, and Xbox One), each telling its own story and included in the Season Pass. After the release, players will deal with zombies, the Viet Cong, and a Martian spider invasion.
With the release of Far Cry 5 on March 27 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One, Ubisoft appears to be following in the footsteps of the outrageous Far Cry: Blood Dragon. It has now been announced that the game, which revolves around religious fanatics and loyal dogs, will receive three quirky DLCs after release.
Vietnam, Mars, and Zombies
The DLCs are part of the Season Pass and each tell a self-contained, separate story.
In “Hours of Darkness“, the player is transported to the past to fight the Viet Cong in Vietnam and rescue his friends.
In “Lost on Mars”, the red planet has an alien insect problem that the protagonist must solve before embarking on the long journey home.
The third DLC “Dead Living Zombies” is a coop adventure featuring seven B-movie scenarios filled with zombies.
The Season Pass also includes the Far Cry 3 Classic Edition, which buyers will receive four weeks before its sales start in summer 2018 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. PC players will get the full version of Far Cry 3.
Additional Free Content
All players of Far Cry 5 will also gain access to the Far Cry Arcade, a powerful map editor that will be regularly expanded. This will not only include items from the game but also from other Ubisoft titles, such as Far Cry 4, Far Cry Primal, Assassin’s Creed Black Flag, Assassin’s Creed Unity, and Watch Dogs.
The editor will allow for adjustments not only to terrain, structures, or vegetation but also enable changes to the time of day or weather conditions, as well as the use of 3D backgrounds and FX color filters.
Furthermore, players can create their own maps for the multiplayer modes Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch.
Additionally, there will be live events at regular intervals where players can earn exclusive outfits, weapons, or vehicles.
For Fortnite: Battle Royale (PC, PS4 & Xbox One) new game modes are regularly introduced that significantly shake up the gameplay. On Thursday, a mode will arrive where five teams of 20 compete for victory.
So far, the new mode is only visible as an announcement on the login screen. However, it is evident what it entails. There will be 20-player teams. This means that with 100 players, 5 such large teams will compete for victory. It should resemble the 50vs.50 mode from the past.
Then the players would still be divided into squads of 4, which would integrate better into a 20-player team than in the old 50-player mode. So, if exactly 100 players participate, each team should consist of 5 squads of 4 players.
In the 50 vs. 50 mode, you could only chat with squad members, there was no friendly fire, and you could only see where the other players in your large team were after landing.
Better than 50 vs 50?
Many players find the idea of 20-player teams better than the 50vs50 mode. Mainly because it leads to less chaos and player squads can work out ideally. However, often the necessary 100 players do not come together in one match, so some teams would still be outnumbered.
But theoretically, this problem also exists in the regular team mode. In any case, players agree: Fortnite is growing and thriving. The developers are enthusiastic and taking advantage of the momentum to expand their player base and experiment with a plethora of new ideas.

Here is the trailer for the new mode:

The new game mode will arrive on servers on Thursday, March 8. While it hasn’t been officially confirmed yet, new modes typically come on patch days, which are traditionally on Thursdays. Since the mode will be online for a short time, it will likely be gone again by the following Monday.
In FIFA 18, the TOTW 25 (Team of the Week 25) is known. These players receive Inform cards in Ultimate Team.
On March 7, the 25th Team of the Week will be released in FUT 18. The release of the cards is at 7 PM, and the Informs can be packed for one week.
In addition to the weekly released Informs, more new cards have arrived on the transfer market in recent days. The winter upgrades from the Ratings Refresh brought many upgraded players that can now be packed and bought in the FUT mode.
This week, the highlights are Antoine Griezmann with a 91, Ederson with an 87, as well as the two Germans Thomas Müller (89) and Leroy Sane (86).
TOTW 25 – Ratings of the player cards in Ultimate Team
Starting XI:
GK – Ederson – Manchester City – 83>87 CB – Moreno – Real Sociedad – 80>83 RB – Lowton – Burnley – 76>81 CB – Traoré – Angers SCO – 76>81 LW – Sané – Manchester City – 82>86 CAM – Vázquez – Sevilla FC – 82>84 CDM – Cyprien – OGC Nice – 79>82 CM – Ki Sung Yueng – Swansea City – 78>82 ST – Griezmann – Atlético de Madrid – 88>91 RF – Müller – Bayern München – 86>89 ST – Jonas – SL Benfica – 83>86
Substitutes:
GK – Tiago Volpi – Gallos Blancos de Querétaro – 78>82 RB – Dubois – FC Nantes – 75>81 LM – Ricardo Horta – Braga – 76>81 LM – Qazaishvili – San Jose Earthquakes – 75>81 ST – Džeko – Roma – 84>86 ST – Gómez – VfB Stuttgart – 82>84 RF – Feghouli – Galatasaray – 79>82
Obviously, the best players of this week are Griezmann, Sane, Ederson, and Müller. While the last two are probably less frequently played and more often exchanged for Icon Squad Building Challenges, the first two are real powerhouses. Especially Sane with his Path-to-Glory card and the Perfect Link to Ilkay Gündogan is interesting.
Besides these star players, there are also two Informs this week that many players might not be aware of. Accordingly, they can potentially be acquired cheaply on the transfer market with a little luck.
The first is Wylan Cyprien, French midfielder from OGC Nice. His standard gold card was a good all-around midfielder in the early days of FIFA 18. His first Inform has an 80 or higher in all attributes except for defensive value. Combined with high/medium work rates and the popular nationality, this makes him a more than solid CDM for French or Ligue 1 teams.
The second player is especially interesting for gamers who want to integrate Heung-Min Son from Tottenham Hotspur into a hybrid team. Ki Sung Yueng, Korean from Swansea City, has a Strong Link to Son. Even though he is slightly slow, with the right chemistry style like Shadow or Hunter, he can also be solidly played in midfield. Moreover, he has a strong passing value and stands out with his height of 1.86 meters.
These were the predictions for Team of the Week 25 in FUT 18
TOTW predictions are forecasts of which players deserved a place in the upcoming Team of the Week. Although these predictions never align 100% with the official TOTW and it is therefore risky to engage in the transfer market based on these, they still give a good overview of which players could receive the coveted special cards.
We provide an overview of forecasts from various FIFA sites.
Valeri Qazaishvili [CAM] 75 > 80 – Georgia – San Jose Earthquakes
Sofiane Feghouli [RF] 79 > 82 – Algeria – Galatasaray
Jonas [ST] 85 > 86 – Brazil – Benfica
Edin Dzeko [ST] 84 > 86 – Bosnia & Herzegovina – Roma
Antoine Griezmann [ST] 90 > 91 – France – Atletico Madrid
Heung Min Son [LW] 87 > 88 – Korea Republic – Tottenham
What is the Team of the Week (TOTW) in FIFA 18 Ultimate Team?
Every Wednesday, EA Sports reveals the Team of the Week in their annual football simulation’s “Ultimate Team” mode. So also in FIFA 18. In this, the players who showed outstanding performances in real football over the past week are rewarded with special cards that have improved attributes.
You can pack the TOTW cards within a week from the sets that may contain Rare (Gold) players. However, the chance of doing so is considered low. Additionally, you can buy them on the transfer market if they are offered by other gamers. But the prices are usually extremely high.

In TERA, there are now male Brawlers as well. Those who want an additional character slot can find out here how to get the new class “Sturmfaust” in TERA.
A few days ago, we reported that TERA is advertising its “new” class in a rather unusual way. In a small teaser, a little panda is being punched in slow motion by a fist. The panda is a Popori and the fist belongs to the new character, which is now available: the male Brawler.
Since yesterday, March 6, 2018, TERA players can also create a male human Brawler (“Sturmfurie”) and punch their way through the enemies of the game world.
If you have no space left for the new character, you need not despair. Until March 31, Gameforge has a special promotion for TERA. To participate, you must log into the game, open the shop, and enter the code “BRAWLER” under “Redeem Code” – and you’ll receive:
an additional character slot
some fashion vouchers
Proofs of Change
Tears of Elinus
and a Refined Nokten Infusion
Apart from that, Patch 66.03 has brought some other small changes as well. The Lachelitas Ruin is once again accessible for players level 65 and above, and there are more customization options for hats – they can now be placed more freely in size and position on the head.
What do you think of the male Sturmfurie? Should TERA also allow the same for other classes? Or should classes remain exclusive to certain races and genders?
