WoW: Tier List for Raids, PvP and Mythic+ – These are the best and worst DPS, Tanks and Healers in The War Within

Karsten Scholz Karsten Scholz Reading time 5 minutes

The War Within is the current expansion of World of Warcraft, and MeinMMO reveals which classes currently leave the best and the worst impression in the new expansion (Patch 11.1.5) – in the context of tier lists for raids and PvP.

What do you find here? With The War Within is the new expansion of World of Warcraft started, many players are wondering which class they should choose to tackle the battle against the Harbinger of the Void and her Neruber forces or to make a quick start in the current PvP season.

Or in other words: Which tanks, healers, and damage dealers have the greatest potential to dominate in the PvE content or in the PvP of The War Within? Which of the classes and specializations can also achieve strong results as an inexperienced hero of Azeroth? Exactly these questions are answered by MeinMMO in this article using tier list rankings.

The insights are based on the statistics from warcraftlogs.com, but also from simulations with SimulationCraft – we compared the numbers with the results from other websites like icy-veins.com and maxroll.gg.

Before we begin, a disclaimer: For almost all WoW content, it doesn’t matter whether your class performs a few percent better or worse than others. If you simply want to experience Blizzard’s MMORPG (outside of the highest difficulty levels), choose the class and specialization that you personally enjoy the most or that appeals to you based on its class fantasy.

  • Guardian Druid

But in my groups, the classes perform differently; what is going on? When numerous simulations are run or the uploaded logs of the entire WoW community are viewed, it quickly becomes apparent: Characters with comparable gear achieve different DPS or healing values.

This is due to numerous factors such as player skill and experience, knowledge of the fight, type of encounter, number of critical hits or procs, and so on. What you can see about the simulations and logs is:

  • On the one hand, the current potential of a specialization with equipment X in a specific fight
  • On the other hand, the average value that the class can achieve with the respective equipment in a particular situation.

This, in turn, means: A player who almost perfectly masters a class with only average potential can squeeze more DPS out of it than a moderately experienced player currently playing the class with the highest damage potential. This naturally applies equally to tanks and healers.

Fury Warriors are likely among the strongest PvP specializations in the PvP of The War Within.

PvP Tier List for WoW: The War Within

In PvP situations, many unpredictable scenarios hit every player, making static simulations useless as forecasts for class strength. Here are the current rankings for the 2vs2 arena (via wowmeta.com). S-Tier is the best ranking, and D-Tier is the lowest rating:

Pokémon GO: Catch Meikro – How to obtain the new monster in the event ‘Steel Resolution’

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 3 minutes

Pokémon GO brings the new event “Steel Resolve”. The debut of a new Pokémon is also on the horizon: Meikro and its evolutions will appear for the first time.

When does the event start? Steel Resolve starts on January 21 at 10:00 AM. It runs until January 26 at 8:00 PM. So: From Tuesday to Sunday.

Dual Destiny continues: The season “Dual Destiny” brought its own special research. This will be updated with new steps at the start of “Steel Resolve”. Among other things, you will receive TMs and a lucky egg.

The highlight of Steel Resolve: The debut of the bird Pokémon Meikro is approaching. This is a small flying Pokémon from the eighth generation, which can evolve into Kravonid via Kranoviz.

Meikro, Krarmor in Pokémon GO
The event graphic shows Meikro & Krarmor together with Deoxys

Krarmor is a popular flying/steel-type Pokémon that trainers from the Galar region use as a flying taxi. The huge steel bird was quite a prominent Pokémon in the eighth generation.

Krarmor also appears in “Scarlet and Violet”, but there is no flying taxi in the Paldea region. The Pokédex provides insight into the “why”: “In Paldea, it does not serve as a flying taxi because airborne attacks from its natural enemies would endanger the passengers.”

It also has a Gigantamax form. However, when it will debut in Pokémon GO remains to be seen.

All content of the Steel Resolve event – How to get Meikro

How do I catch Meikro? You have several chances to catch Meikro during the event.

  • It appears in 2 km eggs.
  • You can lure it to PokéStops using Magnet Lures.
  • You can earn it as a reward in the Battle League, if you win 3 battles in a set.

For the evolution to Kranoviz, you need 25 candies, and for Krarmor another 100.

Event bonuses: You can have your shadow Pokémon forget the useless move Frustration by using a TM. So you get another chance after the upcoming takeover event.

Additionally, the Magnet Lure attracts not only Meikro but also Onix, Tanhel, Schilterus, and other Pokémon.

Special moves: If you evolve certain Pokémon, you will receive a powerful special move for them. These are the following:

  • Machoke: Karate Chop
  • Feraligatr: Hydro Pump
  • Morpeko: Aqua Tail
  • Snorlax: Body Slam
  • Krarmor: Steel Wing
  • Suicune: Waterfall

Battle Week: During the event, there will also be a PvP battle week. This means:

  • You can complete a total of 100 battles every day
  • Victories yield four times the stardust
  • There is a limited research to the PvP league
  • The reward Pokémon from the league will have more varied stats

Destiny 2 has a new endgame and it has nothing to do with raids or dungeons

Christos Tsogos Christos Tsogos Reading time 2 minutes

When it comes to the endgame, Guardians gather in Destiny 2 either in raids, dungeons, or in the Trials of Osiris. However, all these activities have become worn out. To prevent players from getting bored, they have come up with a new endgame.

What endgame are we talking about? In Destiny 2, since the release of the Exo mission “Fall of the Kell”, there is a special organ of mockery. In your first run, it will still be incomplete, but you can repair it. Normally, you have to use the organ to play melodies that can unlock new perks on the Exo “Slayer’s Fang” or even activate a secret boss – Easter eggs are also available.

However, some Guardians use the organ for something entirely different. They try to play songs from the real world on it, and although this is not a real instrument, the results can be impressive.

Famous songs in dark tones

The Reddit user “VibraniumFarmer420” demonstrated it by playing the song “Clocks” by Coldplay. With his scout rifle, he shot sequentially at the corresponding keys, thereby creating the basic melody of the song. You can evaluate how good his attempt sounded by watching his video:

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

Link to the Reddit content

To make the cover sound even more realistic, he combined sounds from other firearms like the Chaperone and even an Arc ability of the Titan. The organ inherently has a rather dark tone, but if you listen closely, the song can definitely be identified.

What do fans say about the organ? They celebrate the new feature from the Exo mission and even say it’s the best part of the entire episode. The following voices can be heard from the comments in the thread:

  • “The best thing of the entire season is the organ, honestly.” – 0rganicMach1ne
  • “As one of the five losers in the world who admit to liking Coldplay, this is really cool.” – friedandprejudice
  • “Really amazing. I love how much creative food the organ has given this community. You are all freaking beasts. Keep coming up with cool stuff and creating, please! I am also very excited about the Coldplay version. Phenomenal, OP, simply phenomenal!” – uselesswasteofbreath

In addition to the astonished reactions, there are also more covers that Guardians have created on YouTube. According to Reddit user VibraniumFarmer420, he has spent many hours on the instrument and has some ideas he wants to bring to life. So it could be assumed that Guardians have found a new endgame.

If you are too greedy in Pokémon TCG Pocket, you will have a big problem

Jasmin Beverungen Jasmin Beverungen Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon TCG Pocket, it is about completing your card collection. But this is no longer possible if you are too stingy.

What should you not be stingy with? For each of the 5 cards that you can draw from a pack, you earn one Pack Point each. With these points, you can then buy cards that are still missing from your collection. However, this is only possible with cards that belong to the respective booster. Points you receive from “Unbeatable Genes” can only be exchanged for cards from those packs.

MeinMMO has already explained in another article that you should not save your points. Because when the boosters disappear from the store, the associated Pack Points also expire. 

But there is another reason not to be too frugal with the Pack Points. It’s better to spend them regularly to not reach the maximum.

The trailer for the mobile game:

Start video
Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket: The Trailer for the Mobile Game

Too Many Pack Points Prevent Opening New Boosters

What is the problem? When you reach the maximum number of Pack Points, you cannot open any more boosters. As a user on Reddit shares, a message appears that Pack Points must be spent before opening a new booster.

There is also a red warning triangle in the exchange menu that indicates that your Pack Points have reached their maximum. 

Why is this a problem? When you open new boosters, you receive one Pack Point for each card. Thus, Pokémon TCG Pocket likely wants to ensure that old Pack Points are spent to make room for new ones.

Otherwise, players could open more boosters without realizing that they won’t receive any more Pack Points for them.

von Paul Kutzner

Who is this a problem for? The maximum for Pack Points is 2,500 points. You need to collect just as much if you want to buy the rarest cards in the game. Therefore, many players who are saving for the rarest cards might receive such a message.

However, if you only open the daily 2 packs, the limit will only be reached after some time. Players who invest real money in Pack Hourglasses or the Premium Pass could reach the maximum sooner.

In contrast to the Pack Points, you can hoard Pack Hourglasses without issue. With them, you can shorten the time until opening the next booster. Saving makes especially sense when a new expansion is approaching: Developers of Pokémon TCG Pocket reassure: You can continue to hoard your Pack Hourglasses

NCSoft has secretly stopped work on several games, but it probably isn’t about the Horizon MMO

Niko Hernes Niko Hernes Reading time 2 minutes

For some time, there have been rumors that NCSoft, the South Korean company behind MMOs like Throne and Liberty or Lineage, is working on an MMORPG for the well-known Sony brand Horizon. However, that seems to be off the table now, as a report shows.

Update: We have updated the article on January 22, 2025, with new information. The mentioned Project H does not seem to be the Horizon MMORPG after all.

What MMORPG is it about? There have been rumors since 2022 that an MMORPG based on the Horizon games from Guerilla Games is in development. Project H was reportedly the internal name for the upcoming game. However, those were just rumors for years. There has never been an official announcement from Sony.

Apparently, there won’t be one now either, as a recent report from the South Korean website MTN shows. At NCSoft, which announced a partnership in 2023, several projects now seem to have been canceled prematurely.

The last game in the Horizon series was Forbidden West:

NCSoft cancels multiple projects

What does the report say? According to the Korean site MTN, several projects at NCSoft have now been canceled. Among them are likely the projects Pantera, H, and J. What exactly these games were is not mentioned in the Korean report.

The development team for Project H is said to have consisted of former employees of the now-closed company Entryv. The size of the respective teams is unknown.

According to the report, the decision to close the 3 projects was made as early as the end of the year. Employees from the various development teams are reportedly being reassigned to new teams internally. According to the report’s information, the team behind H is to be transferred to the headquarters of Lineage.

A few days ago, it became known that Sony has apparently canceled 2 other online titles. There are no further details on that. One of the titles was said to be a multiplayer game from the God of War series.

Update from January 22, 2025: A user from the South Korean website Ruliweb apparently asked the author of the original report via email if Project H was really about the Horizon MMO. According to a screenshot, he replied that he never specifically mentioned Horizon or that Project H has nothing to do with the Horizon IP (via Reddit).

With my gaming PC, I only focused on looks because I have no idea about hardware

Jasmin Beverungen Jasmin Beverungen Reading time 5 minutes

To fulfill the dream of having my own gaming PC, MeinMMO editor Jasmin Beverungen had to wait many years. Since she has no idea about PC components, she simply went by the appearance of the parts. She reports on how well that worked out.

Since my youth, I’ve dreamed of having my own gaming PC. At fairs like Gamescom, I admired the custom-designed cases every year and knew that I wanted to have such a cool PC eventually. Last year, I was able to fulfill that wish, took 2,000 euros in hand, and bought a beautiful PC.

The problem: I have absolutely no idea which components fit well together and what to pay attention to regarding hardware. MeinMMO colleague Christos Tsogos took a noticeably smarter approach because he thoroughly informed himself about how to design his PC.

However, I didn’t want to wait any longer, and pre-built PCs that I found visually appealing were too expensive for me. Since 7,000 euros for a stylish PC was too much, I took a fraction of that price and tried my luck.

The PC was also necessary because Final Fantasy XIV increased its system requirements:

Final Fantasy XIV: Trailer for the big ‘Crossroads’ update

Social media and tools helped me avoid stupidity

Since I primarily wanted to buy my gaming PC for its appearance, I looked at various setups on TikTok. There were adorable gaming PCs with well-designed rooms, and their owners sometimes revealed which hardware they used for their PCs.

I picked four gaming TikTokers whose setups I liked and who are registered on pcpartpicker.com. This is a site that calculates the approximate price of all hardware components and indicates whether the parts are compatible with each other.

Of the four setups I selected, only two actually had exclusively compatible components. In the end, I chose the setup from pcpartpicker user yeorenxo. Since I wanted a snow-white PC where the RGB lighting would stand out better, I opted for mostly white components.

You can find the hardware installed in the PC here:
  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 
  • CPU cooler: NZXT Kraken Elite 360 RGB 78.02 CFM
  • GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070
  • RAM: 2x G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB 16 GB DDR5-6000 CL36
  • Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX B650-A Gaming Wifi 
  • Power supply: Corsair RM1000x Modular 80+ Gold (1000 W)
  • Storage: Samsung SSD 980 Pro 2 TB
  • Case: HYTE Y70 Touch ATX
  • Fans:
    • 1x Lian Li UNI FAN SL-INF 140 ARGB Reverse Blade PWM
    • 3x Lian Li UNI FAN SL-INF 120 ARGB Reverse Blade PWM
    • 2x Lian Li UNI FAN SL-INF 120 ARGB PWM
  • Operating system: Windows 11 Pro

For me, it was important that the PC lights up as colorfully as possible and shows what a big anime fan I am. That’s why I decided to install a CPU cooler on which I can project an image. The tower also has a touchpad where I can set a background with icons as I like.

Additionally, the case has large windows that allow a view inside. Another point that was important to me and that I researched thoroughly was the airflow in the PC. Since I wanted to fill the case not just with hardware but also with figures, many fans were needed to cool the PC well.

However, some flower garlands, like I saw in various TikTok videos, were not an option for me. I fear that small particles would loosen over time and get into the hardware or fans. I don’t want to risk that.

The conclusion: Have someone on hand who can help you

I mostly trusted myself to assemble it. Thanks to YouTube tutorials, I quickly screwed the parts together, and the manuals showed where to plug in each component.

Only when it came to attaching the CPU cooler did my brother help me, as he has significantly more experience with PC building and also took care of the final checks.

However, that was the end of the work I could do without any knowledge. The startup of the PC was handled 100% by my brother. I had no idea what he was clicking around in the BIOS system to make my PC light up and function properly.

The image of the touch screen can be changed quickly.
Chihiro maintains the right temperature at the CPU.
The figure blocks the fans, but there are more than enough of them.

But what can I say: The PC runs. However, there are some issues that I haven’t been able to resolve to this day, simply because I’m not knowledgeable:

  • Unfortunately, I didn’t fully understand the reverse system of the fans and bought the 140 cm fan the wrong way around. Now it’s unfortunately positioned so that the cover faces forward.
  • The fan also does not light up. When I connected it elsewhere for testing, it lit up. Why it doesn’t light up in the final setup – no idea.
  • My graphics card lights up in colorful rainbow colors, although I would prefer pink or turquoise. I probably forgot a cable here because all my programs for adjusting the lights can’t control it.
  • After a few weeks, the PC began to flicker and wouldn’t turn on. Here I had to get technical help from my hardware-savvy brother, who told me over the phone that I had to change something in the BIOS, as the RAM was causing issues over time.

Therefore, I cannot recommend building a PC without any hardware knowledge. I was lucky that my brother could support me a lot and save me from several messes. Without him, I would have had to return the PC or have it built by a professional – which would have cost me again.

But for me personally, it was worth taking the step. I am excited every time the PC is booted up and watch the tower curiously while I’m stuck on loading screens or waiting for multiplayer opponents.

However, it’s still not completely finished. I still plan to buy fan covers in cherry blossom shape or with other motifs. I also want to buy a film for the plastic front that has cherry blossoms or another motif on the edges.

If you want to build your own gaming PC, you should definitely inform yourself even better than I did or seek help. However, the articles from MeinMMO can already help avoid silly beginner mistakes.

„Bro does a Pacifist Run“: Player reaches one of the highest ranks in Marvel Rivals with 0 damage and is celebrated for it

Niko Hernes Niko Hernes Reading time 2 minutes

In Marvel Rivals, the various heroes are divided into 3 classes. If you want to build a good team, you need a bit of everything. Supporters can also deal some serious damage. But that didn’t matter to one player. He reached the rank of Grandmaster with a single hero without dealing any damage.

Which hero did he use to achieve this? On reddit, the user Habooskie showcased his great success in Marvel Rivals. With his account NoDMGRocket, the player reached rank Grandmaster 3. That alone is already a small achievement. The special thing about him is hinted at in his name.

He exclusively played the hero Rocket Raccoon and actually caused 0 damage. In his post, he also published images of his statistics from the current Season 1.

  • He needed 18.6 hours to become Grandmaster 3
  • He played 108 matches, winning 71 of them
  • During this, he achieved a total healing value of 2,912,458
  • He blocked 315,984 damage
  • His statistics also show that he actually caused 0 damage.

This is an impressive achievement. While supporters are supposed to assist the team, they usually also deal significant damage. The best supporters in Marvel Rivals can do this quite well. On reddit, he is being celebrated for his success.

Users on reddit celebrate the player’s success

What does the community say about this success? The community is quite enthusiastic under the reddit post, which has over 17,000 upvotes and more than 1000 comments.

  • ddbait writes (via reddit): Bro is doing a pacifist run. This refers to challenges where players attempt to complete a game without dealing damage.
  • Other users compare Rocket Raccoon to Mercy from Overwatch. StormierNik (via reddit) notes: Rocket is surprisingly most comparable to Mercy. He is more focused on healing and hardly wants to use a weapon.
  • Erratic Seven (via reddit) compares the player’s performance to the film Hacksaw Ridge, where a soldier refuses to use a weapon: This man saw Hacksaw Ridge and asked: Was that a challenge?

Rocket Raccoon is a hero that is probably best suited for such a challenge. With one of his fire modes, he can shoot spheres that heal his teammates. Additionally, he is also mobile. With another ability, he can even revive. Through his Ultimate, he can increase his team’s damage.

Rocket Raccoon works particularly well in combination with Punisher and Winter Soldier, who gain unlimited ammunition and increased fire rate through one of his abilities.

Should a support deal less damage? It depends on the hero, the player, and the team. If you have strong DPS players on your team, you might want to try to assist them and heal tanks. However, as a supporter, you will often find yourself in situations where you need to defend yourself. After healing and buffing all your teammates, you should still try to deal damage. It’s always worth it.

Marvel Rivals is a game that regularly changes the meta with buffs and nerfs. This constantly alters which hero is strong and which hero is weak. Currently, changes in Season 1 have led to a mutant from the X-Men becoming quite strong: A forgotten mutant is now the strongest heroine in Marvel’s Rivals

Twitch streamer explains how he burned 4 million dollars in 4 years: “I would do it again”

Esmeralda Eickemeyer Esmeralda Eickemeyer Reading time 2 minutes

The well-known Twitch-streamer and YouTuber Charles “MoistCr1TiKaL” White shared with his viewers in a new video how he has invested around 4 million euros in his e-sports team over the past four years without ever making a profit. But he is not thinking about giving up – on the contrary.

What does he have to do with e-sports? Charlie “MoistCr1TiKaL” White founded the e-sports team ‘Moist Esports’ in 2021 together with his YouTube colleague Ludwig Ahgren. With this team, he competed in various popular e-sports titles, including Valorant, Apex Legends, Street Fighter 6, and Rocket League.

On January 17, 2025, Cr1TiKaL took stock and revealed how the team will proceed in the future.

Esports is in a crisis in 2023, but that’s completely normal

Why is the YouTuber suffering such losses in e-sports? Over the past four years, MoistCr1TiKaL and his team have lost a total of around 4 million euros. In a YouTube-video he openly explains: “E-sports is a black hole that swallows money and gives nothing in return.” He explains that it is generally extremely difficult to be profitable in the industry.

Additionally, the entire e-sports industry is currently in a crisis – rising costs and falling revenues force numerous teams to reevaluate their future.

Why doesn’t he just give up? Instead of withdrawing from e-sports, he talks about why he continues: “It’s not about the money for me. It’s about the love for the game and the community.”

Despite the heavy losses in the last four years, he remains committed. In his video, he emphasizes: “I would do it all over again. In fact, I will continue to do it.” Profit is not his primary concern – instead, he is dedicated to promoting and actively shaping the esports scene.

What does the solution look like now? On January 17, 2025, Charlie announced that his team would fully merge with the Canadian e-sports organization Shopify Rebellion.

He explained that Shopify Rebellion had already provided crucial support during difficult times in the past and significantly contributed to the survival of his team. Due to this good cooperation and shared success, trust between the two parties has grown.

Through the merger, MoistCr1TiKaL hopes to create a more stable foundation for the team and further expand their reach in various games.

“Don’t think that she saved her parents” – The creator of Chihiro reveals that there is no happy ending

Jasmin Beverungen Jasmin Beverungen Reading time 2 minutes

In the Ghibli film, Chihiro saves her parents from a life as pigs. Actually, that would be a happy ending for the family. But Hayao Miyazaki never intended for the end of Chihiro’s journey into the spirit world to be a happy ending.

Why doesn’t Chihiro’s journey into the spirit world have a happy ending? It actually seems like Chihiro and her parents can happily return to their old life together. But therein lies the problem, according to Miyazaki, the creator of the film.

In a 2002 interview with the French film magazine POSITIF, Miyazaki revealed (via French Bloom Net) that there is a deeper message behind it. He does not believe that Chihiro has saved her parents. Because the parents have only changed their appearance, but not their behavior. This would symbolize many parents who are currently “hanging around” in Japan.

Miyazaki turned the two parents in the film into pigs because that is exactly what society in Japan is like today: greedy creatures that would consume everything. He does not want to show the children watching the film “good and evil,” but the truth.

The English trailer for Chihiro’s journey into the spirit world can be seen here:

Spirited Away Trailer (English)

Children would have no chance of saving their parents

Why wouldn’t the parents change anymore? Unlike their parents, children can still make mistakes and start anew. For them, it is not too late yet. For adults, however, this is not possible because they have lost their innocence.

However, this would also partially be the case for children. Not all children possess this purity. Even Chihiro is not always sweet, but like millions of girls in Japan. Yet she has the chance to experience this journey and to change something. Thus, at least she could change.

Miyazaki confirmed in another interview, that the current generation of parents has become more foolish due to a certain series. He has a poor image of that generation.

To what extent did the journey help? In another interview for Turning Point, Miyazaki explained that what Chihiro experienced was real. This would become evident, among other things, by the dust and leaves on the family’s abandoned car and the hairpin that Chihiro finds in the other world.

But as Miyazaki suggests, not every person remembers everything that has happened to them in life. The memories are stored somewhere but are not always retrievable. By this, he means that experiences can change a person, even if they do not always remember them directly.

According to IMDb, Chihiro’s journey into the spirit world is the best Ghibli film. The fantasy story ranks 0.1 points ahead of another film that was not created by Miyazaki himself. You can find all other films from the animation studio in the ultimate ranking on MeinMMO: All Ghibli films ranked by IMDb

Desperate fans of GTA 6 believe that the next trailer is coming soon because Rockstar Games has an important event

Dariusz Müller Dariusz Müller Reading time 2 minutes

For weeks and months, players have been crafting the craziest theories about when we will see the next trailer for GTA 6. Even now, there is another date that fans hope for. The latest theory even seems surprisingly logical – at least halfway.

What is this new theory? The latest theory regarding the second trailer of GTA 6 is based on two pillars. The first part reveals to us why the trailer could be coming soon. The second part gives us a date when the trailer is supposed to be released according to fans.

The possible date for the new trailer is based on the fact that Take-Two Interactive has a quarterly earnings call on February 6, 2025 (via take2games). Rockstar Games, the studio behind GTA 6, is a subsidiary of Take-Two. The thought now is that the second trailer will be released before the earnings call (via X.com).

What is an earnings call? In an earnings call, companies discuss the financial results of a specific period. Often, there is a discussion following the presentation where investors can ask questions.

In the second part of the theory, the community discovered some numbers in an image that Rockstar Games posted about GTA Online on January 16, 2025. These numbers add up to 30, which is why January 30 was chosen as a possible release date for the trailer.

Even in December 2024, some fans calculated numbers from images and crafted an absurd theory about the release of the second trailer, which obviously turned out to be wrong.

What does the rest of the community say about the theory? On X.com, some users express annoyance that there is once again a theory about the second trailer. The general sentiment in the comments is “not again” and “give it up.” Some users also ask whether they have learned nothing from the last theory.

On Reddit, there are some comments suggesting a possible connection between the earnings call and the December theory, which centered around the number 27. The community believed the trailer would be released on December 27. Now the thought arises: What if the 2.7. was meant instead, with the trailer coming the day after the earnings call?

Theory surprisingly logical – at least partially

How realistic is the theory? Right off the bat: This whole calculation with the numbers in images is complete nonsense and was already wrong in December. It is pretty sure not an indication that the trailer comes on January 30.

The connection to the earnings call, on the other hand, is indeed plausible, as these meetings are also directed at investors. If the trailer is released before the earnings call and gathers millions of views, is addressed by the entire gaming press and various YouTubers or streamers, Take-Two can certainly utilize this in investor discussions.

MeinMMO editor Dariusz will also be playing GTA 6, even if he does not believe in absurd theories about the trailer or the release. Moreover, he can do without some things from GTA 5 in the latest installment of the series: 10 things from GTA V that GTA 6 must absolutely do without

German fights his way back to the LoL pro league for 2 years, meets the final boss

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 3 minutes

On January 20th, the match between the German team SK Gaming and G2 took place in League of Legends. The German mid laner Steven “RKR” Chen fought his way back into the SK Gaming team of the professional league LEC after waiting two years for the opportunity. However, he faced the highest-paid and probably strongest player in Europe, Martin Caps Winther. The 23-year-old surely had a different expectation for his first games in the league.

This is RKR: The German mid laner RKR was previously known as “Reeker”; he debuted in the LEC back in November 2021 with the Spanish team MAD Lions. At that time, he was 20 years old. However, he was sorted out in Spain after just one split and put on the bench (via oneesports).

Reeker then played for 2 years on the academy team of Team BDS and fought his way back into the roster of a professional team. He started the 2025 season now as a mid laner for SK Gaming. Here he takes over the spot of the 26-year-old Belgian Nisqy: he currently has no team, and it was rumored he might move to the USA. Currently, the fate of Nisqy is still uncertain.

In the 3rd game of the season, RKR and SK Gaming faced the champions G2 Esports.

Defeat in 28 minutes against a superior team

How did the match go? It went really badly for RKR. While the German played Yone, his opponent Caps played the currently popular mage Viktor. Caps is considered the highest-paid and also strongest player of the LEC.

After just 28 minutes, the game was over:

  • RKR had no kills, 5 deaths, and 3 assists.
  • Caps had 11 kills, no deaths, and 7 assists.

G2 celebrated Caps in the game against SK Gaming:

This is being discussed: The first matches of a season serve as an evaluation in the league. First, everyone checks where each team stands. But reddit is already merciless.

About SK Gaming, it’s said that the team plays aimlessly, and the solo lanes are too weak.

They have now replaced the head of the team, Nisqy, with a player with very little experience – clearly referring to RKR.

Specifically, the German mid laner is criticized as a weakness of the team. In contrast, the German player at G2, top laner Broken Blade, is explicitly praised: he was the secret MVP of the game. Caps certainly got the kills, but Broken Blade played perfectly.

German team loses first 3 games in LoL, sits at the bottom place

Where do the teams stand right now? SK Gaming has lost all its first 3 games in the league and is at the bottom of the league with 0-3.

G2 is also only doing mediocre with a 1-2 record, having already lost to Karmine Corp and BDS.

In 1st place is an interesting mix with GaintX. They have signed the former bot lane of Fnatic. These are two South Koreans. Additionally, there are two Turks and the Czech mid laner Jackies on the team. The mid laner is also the only one who has been with Team GiantX for a little longer.

This is behind it: It is a nightmare for RKR to fight back into the league for 2 years and then start the season with 3 defeats and face the title favorite so early on. The game against G2 should be quickly forgotten, and new challenges should be addressed.

Even the touted wonder child of the LEC, Caliste, did not convince in his last game in the LEC, remaining without a kill in a painful 2-11 loss against the current table leader GiantX: Top team in LoL miscalculates in the fight for the wonder child, for which they offered half their roster

Nintendo Switch 2 vs Switch 1: The main differences in detail

Screen size: The display will be significantly larger compared to the old Switch model. How much larger is not officially known. The standard Switch has a 6.2-inch display, while the OLED model has a 7-inch display.

Size of the console and controllers: The Switch 2 has become slightly larger compared to the old model. This also affects the Joy-Cons, which are now somewhat larger. An alternative to the Joy-Cons is the Pro Controller.

Attachment of the Joy-Cons: The new Joy-Cons will no longer be connected to the screen by sliding them down. With the Switch 2, the controllers are simply attached magnetically.

Additional USB port: There is an additional USB-C port next to the headphone jack. This has the advantage that you can connect more devices with the Switch 2, such as adapters for a gaming headset.

New kickstand: The old Switch received criticism for its poorly processed kickstand; the stand was greatly improved in the OLED model. The Switch 2 uses a completely new stand. The Switch 2 can be inclined further back with the new stand than the old models.

New button on the Joy-Cons: Some have already noticed that there is a new button below the Home button on the Joy-Con. However, it can only be speculated what it is for at this point.

Dragon’s Dogma 2: All Classes, Career Paths and Vocations – How to Unlock Them

Christoph Waldboth Christoph Waldboth Reading time 8 minutes

In Dragon’s Dogma 2 you do not choose a class in the classical sense, but rather take on different paths, called vocations. We will tell you what you need to know about Fighter, Thief, Mage, and Co. and how to switch classes and unlock all the paths.

How do the classes work in Dragon’s Dogma 2? At the beginning of the game, you choose one of four so-called paths: Fighter, Mage, Archer, or Thief. Each path has a unique playstyle as well as individual strengths and weaknesses.

Up to six additional paths can be unlocked during your adventure. To become a Warrior or Archmage, for example, you need to bring a two-handed sword or a magic staff to Klaus from the guild hall of Vernworth as part of an early quest.

Each guild hall also allows you to switch between the learned paths and unlock or equip new skills.

Update from March 26, 2024: We have expanded our guides to the paths of Dragon’s Dogma 2 and added how you can unlock the six classes Warrior, Archmage, Mystic Blade, Illusionist, Magical Archer, and War Master.

Dragon’s Dogma 2: All Master Teachings in Overview – Find Masters and Unlock Paths

Fighter

How does the Fighter play? The perfect vocation for those who like to stand at the front with sword and shield in hand. The Fighter deals offensive blows and is also a good defender.

The balanced style of Fighters allows them to switch between charging the enemy line from the front and defending their comrades while they block blows with their shield and deliver quick strikes with their sword.

Mage

How does the Mage play? The Mage is a classic ranged fighter who can cast both offensive and defensive spells. He uses staves in combat.

Additionally, he serves as support for the whole group, for example with healing spells. Or he increases the striking power of allies by enchanting their weapons.

Since the Mage is relatively weak on his feet, he should maintain some distance from enemies. However, he can make a significant difference in battle with strong offensive spells or by supporting his companions.

The agony of class selection – what path will you take?

Thief

How does the Thief play? The Thief is a new starting class within the world of Dragon’s Dogma. This class attacks with quick, targeted strikes in close combat. However, the Thief can take less damage than the Fighter, who can also function as a tank.

Therefore, caution is advised as a Thief. Knowing when to strike and when to slip away is key to their strategy. The high mobility, which can be further improved through various skills and evasive actions, helps with this.

And of course, as the name suggests, the Thief enjoys stealing items from enemies.

Archer

How does the Archer play? Like the Mage, the Archer is also a ranged fighter. He deals physical damage and is not particularly resistant to attacks. Therefore, the Archer prefers to evade enemy attacks and seeks new positions for his own attack.

Similar to the Thief, the Archer does not limit himself to single attacks. Instead, he fires at short intervals and keeps the enemies busy. He finds the weak points of the enemies and targets them with his special arrows.

At higher levels, he will be able to shoot multiple arrows at once. Additionally, his mobility increases, making it easier to dodge enemy attacks. With his Steady Shot, he can also deal significant damage to a target.

von Jasmin Beverungen

Warrior

How does the Warrior play? The Fighter is a classic frontline soldier who stands at the front and deals a lot of damage. He has a charged strike that deals extra damage and quickly decimates the enemies.

Warriors like to use powerful two-handed weapons like great swords or hammers. Compared to Fighters, Warriors can carry heavier weapons but do not have a protective shield.

How do I unlock the Warrior? Master the quest “Path Frustration” in the city of Vernworth by bringing any great sword to the pawn guild.

Archmage

How does the Archmage play? As an Archmage, you deal significant damage with a magic staff and your spell attacks. This specialization deals area damage and allows for better control of the battlefield. Unlike the Mage, Archmages are primarily offensive fighters.

A disadvantage is that many spells take some time to cast. If the Archmage is hit by an enemy during this time, he is interrupted. Therefore, it is advisable to find a safe spot before launching an attack.

How do I unlock the Archmage? Master the quest “Path Frustration” in the city of Vernworth by bringing any magic staff to the pawn guild.

This trailer will get you in the mood for the story of Dragon’s Dogma 2:

Start video
Dragons Dogma 2 – Trailer for the story

The following special paths are only available to the main character, the Awakened, not to the pawns.

Mystic Blade

How does the Mystic Blade play? This path combines melee combat and magic. If you cannot decide between the two combat styles, the Mystic Blade is perfect for you.

With the dual spear, a special weapon, the Mystic Blade cuts through enemies. Additionally, magic can be used to stun enemies or to throw items at them telekinetically.

Overall, the Mystic Blade feels like a very dynamic class that attacks quickly and deals sufficient damage.

How do I unlock the Mystic Blade? For the quest “The Return of Evil,” you need to defeat an enraged dragon in Melve. With the help of the local warriors and the clearly visible weak points of the monster, this should not be a problem for you.

Important: The quest is not available from the start, but only during a later visit of your hero. As a reward, you will receive the path of the Mystic Blade from Sigurd. You will find him in the house on the cliff near the village of Harve.

Dragons Dogma 2 Cyclops
With the Archer, you best fight from a distance.

Magical Archer

How does the Magical Archer play? Shooting magical arrows at enemies from a safe distance – that’s the essence of this vocation and makes it quite unique. The arrows deal different damage – depending on the weakness of the enemies, you should have the right ones in your inventory.

This vocation can not only shine in offensive combat but also heal group members and provide additional support. The Magical Archer has an exclusive ability that deals significant area damage but simultaneously reduces the user’s health bar.

How do I unlock the Magical Archer? For this path, you need to go to the volcanic island of Agamen and help Gautstafr with his back pain. Bring three wildflowers (like sunflower, grand flower, honor root, twilight herb, or syrup leaf) and you can provide immediate relief.

Here you will find Gautstafr.

Afterwards, accompany Gautstafr east to the next settlement. As a reward, you will receive gold and a laurel wreath. But afterwards, make sure to speak with Cliodhna, Gautstafr’s wife. She will hand you the Paradox of the Archer and grant you the path of the Magical Archer.

Illusionist

How does the Illusionist play? This vocation, known as Trickster in English, relies on an unusual weapon: the incense burner. With it, the Illusionist, as the name of the class suggests, creates illusions. This can deceive enemies so that they start fighting each other, for example.

Or you create a clone of yourself. The Illusionist can also enhance the powers of allied pawns for a certain period. Thus, the class seems to focus primarily on support apart from offensive capabilities.

How do I unlock the Illusionist? To do so, you need to visit a shrine in the second major area of the game. You can find the exact instructions in our guide to the Illusionist.

War Master

How does the War Master play? This vocation was recently introduced in a new trailer. It is certainly the most flexible of all classes. With it, you can switch between all kinds of weapons and try out the play styles of other vocations.

However, there is also a disadvantage: the War Master has relatively low stats. Therefore, depending on the situation in the game, you should adapt your gear to respond best to the challenge.

This vocation can therefore be used in combat as well as in support and defense. You just need to show some brainpower and have a lot of skill in various combat styles.

Here you see the War Master in action:

Start video
Dragon’s Dogma 2 macht euch mit einer Klasse zum Meister aller Waffen

How do I unlock the War Master? For this path, you need to go to the Volcanic Island Camp (on the volcanic island of Agamen) and accept the quest “The Intoxicated Sage” from Lamond. For the assignment, you need Molch liquor, which you can find in Bakbattahl – Earland sells the liquor near the road to the Flame Palace for 2,000 gold.

A second bottle of Molch liquor is hidden in the research lab for forbidden magic, specifically in the chemicals lab. Lastly, you can also combine fruit wine and lizard tail to obtain the liquor.

If you bring Lamond all three bottles, he will teach you the War Master path. Additionally, there is a tome for the War Master skill Re-arming.

Which Class Suits Me?

Since you can switch between all learned paths at any time in the guild hall, nothing stops you from trying out all play styles. Alternatively, the developers of the game offer a quiz on the official Dragon’s Dogma 2 website that allows you to find out which class suits you. The quiz consists of only a few questions and is quick to complete.

Which Class is the Best for Beginners?

The short answer to this question: Thief for fans of full-contact action and the Archer for those who prefer to act from a distance. The long answer can be found in the following article:

More on the topic
Dragon’s Dogma 2: Here are the best classes / careers for beginners at the start
von Karsten Scholz

How Do I Improve and Change My Class?

If you visit the guild hall of a city, you can change the path of your hero and your main pawn there. Useful: Once you invest the so-called DP points to unlock a known path, you automatically receive weapons and armor pieces that fit the new class.

For each path, you can unlock special weapon and core skills through DP points. You pull the weapon skills into your four ability slots. Core skills, on the other hand, expand your basic skills – for example, a Thief can learn a wall jump.

The general abilities are available to all paths. Through Satisfaction, for example, you gain some health points when you defeat an enemy. Refinement, on the other hand, ensures that you are targeted less often by opponents. Do you already know which class you will choose in Dragon’s Dogma 2? Let us know in the comments. Releasing the character editor before the release of the game was a brilliant idea.

All Romances in Dragon’s Dogma 2

How many romances are there in Dragon’s Dogma 2? In the game, you can only seduce two characters: Ulrika and Wilhelmina. Both have quests you can pursue to win them over. We will show you how to do this.

Just follow our steps, and nothing should stand in the way of a successful love story.

Finding Ulrika’s Romance and Following the Questline

Dragons-Dogma-2-Ulrika

How do I win over Ulrika? To win Ulrika over, you must follow a long quest that you can even miss if you progress too far in the story.

The following missions are important for you:

  • The Return of Evil
  • Weapons for Freedom
  • Disputes at the Cape
Important so you don’t miss the quest

The page gamespot.com has conducted many tests regarding this quest. Whenever the locations “Bakbattahl” or “Checkpoint Rest Town” were discovered or visited, the quest surrounding Ulrika could not be started. So before you progress in the main story, make sure to complete some quests in “Vernworth” and speak with Commander Brant. He will eventually give you a hint to head to Melve. From here, the quest starts.

Find Ulrika in Melve and Complete the Quest “The Return of Evil”

Your quest for Ulrika begins when you return to Melve with an ox cart. Upon arrival, the quest “The Return of Evil” starts with a cutscene showing a red dragon. You must fight it and then continue your journey to Melve. You can also unlock the path “Mystical Blade” if you talk to Sigurd nearby.

Now rest for a few days and then visit Ulrika’s house in Melve. Upon arrival, you will witness a conversation between Ulrika and Martin, a corrupt official. After the conversation, you can speak with Ulrika, and she will tell you it’s time to sleep.

The game now changes the time of day, and when you leave Ulrika’s house, Lennart will tell you that Ulrika has run away, and you must find her now.

To find Ulrika, you must now embark to the village of Harve, which is located west of Vernworth.

(via fextralife.com)

Upon arrival, you need to help Ulrika fight against a dinosaur ambush. After the battle, you must talk to the lady. She will ask you to inform Lennart that she is okay. Now go back to Ulrika’s house in Melve and report to Lennart about your message – this completes the first quest.

Return to Melve and Complete the Quest “Weapons for Freedom”

The second quest, “Weapons for Freedom,” will only be activated when you leave Melve, rest for three or more days, and return to Melve with an ox cart. Now you will be stopped by a guard whom you can bribe with 5,000 gold. Visit Ulrika’s house and speak with Lennart again.

The residents of Melve want to fight back and need weapons. You must now acquire 4 cheap weapons from the nearby blacksmith and give them to Lennart. It is best to buy them in advance in Harve. A fight will break out, during which your pawns can hardly help you. Try to survive until the guards order a retreat.

Lennart will thank you and instruct you to inform Ulrika about the events in Melve.

Speak with Ulrika in Harve and Complete the Quest “Disputes at the Cape”

Now travel again to the village of Harve to speak with Ulrika. Upon arrival, you must help Ulrika to rescue a resident from Harve. He has been captured by dinosaurs and is located in the “Cave of Storm Winds.” This is where the third quest, “Disputes at the Cape,” starts.

Free the unfortunate resident from his captivity and kill all enemies in the cave. If you make it out alive, you will be rewarded with gold, and Ulrika will be appointed the leader of Harve.

Complete Romance with Ulrika

Now you just need to rest for a few days in Harve and meet Ulrika at the pier. She will inform you to meet her again in the same place in the evening. Rest again until it becomes evening and meet her at the same spot. A cutscene should now appear.

On the second page, we will discuss the romance with Wilhelmina.

For those to whom Civilization was always too slow, they should check out the new strategy game on Steam

Ody Ody Reading time 3 minutes

Are you fans of historical turn-based strategy but don’t have the time or desire to sink several hours into each game like in Civilization? Then a new game on Steam might be the right one for you.

Which game are we talking about? We’re referring to Yield! Fall of Rome. The strategy game was released on January 20, 2025, in Early Access on Steam and costs €19.99. Until February 3, you can get it for a little bit cheaper.

You can see a trailer for the game here:

Start video
Yield! Fall of Rome: Gameplay-Trailer zum neuen Strategie-Spiel auf Steam

An empire falls, others rise

What is the game about? At first glance, Yield! Fall of Rome strongly resembles Civilization: on hexagonal tiles, you build cities, deploy armies, and compete with other historical factions on the map for territory and resources.

Unlike in Civilization, you do not guide your empire through several epochs, from ancient times to modernity. As the name suggests, Yield! Fall of Rome deals with the fall of the Roman Empire. The game starts in the year 401 A.D.

You play as one of the “barbarian tribes” living outside the borders of the Roman Empire. The game promises 8 factions with individual campaigns, but some of these are still missing at release. They will be added for free later.

The game offers three different modes:

  • The campaign mode, where you pursue long-term goals over several missions
  • A sandbox mode where you can freely set victory conditions and specific guidelines like map size
  • A multiplayer mode with seasons and a ranking system

The price of the Steam Controller has been leaked and many are now hoping that the Steam Machine will not become an expensive affair
von Benedikt Schlotmann

How is the game performing right now? On Steam, the game has received almost entirely positive reviews so far, but there are only very few. However, some strategy experts have published Let’s Plays of the game. In one YouTube video, Steinwallen, for example, tries out a campaign with the Gothic king Odoacer.

Quick 4X strategy with a puzzle character

What makes Yield! Fall of Rome special? A significant unique selling point is the game pace. While a day can pass in Civilization before a game is over, you will be busy with a campaign mission in Fall of Rome for about an hour, according to Steinwallen.

Steinwallen’s conclusion comes very early in the video: it is an “extremely cleverly designed game,” but not a conventional 4X game.

But, I want to state in advance: Those who expect to experience a truly classic, conventional 4X game like Civilization or Old World here will be disappointed.

Steinwallen

While you build buildings, recruit units, and research technologies just like in Civ, there is a major difference. In Fall of Rome, there are hardly any infinite resources. This means you must always use them wisely and as efficiently as possible. For this reason, Steinwallen categorizes Fall of Rome more as a puzzle and brain teaser game.

Now, Civ 6, with its districts and neighborhood bonuses, often resembled a puzzle, so this might not be a reason for you to give the game a chance. If you’re in the mood for quick, 4X-like strategy in a historical setting, you should definitely try out Yield! Fall of Rome yourself.

Is there a demo for Yield! Fall of Rome? There is no official demo, but within the first two hours of gameplay, you can return it on Steam after purchase if you don’t like it. You should even have already completed a full game in that time.

If you prefer to wait for Civilization 7, you can check out our GameStar colleague Maurice Weber’s conclusion after 20 hours in the game. You can read more about it here: German strategy expert on Twitch draws conclusions after 20 hours of Civilization 7

Player wants to farm in WoW, gets discouraged by competition – a system from Blizzard makes it possible

Karsten Scholz Karsten Scholz Reading time 2 minutes

A player from WoW just wanted to quietly farm cloth in the Heilsturz region. What he experienced there shows how broken Blizzard’s reporting system is.

What happened? On Reddit, PhantumJak reports that he stumbled across a tip from another player a while ago, saying that one could farm cloth from the Murlocs in the Heilsturz region of The War Within really well. Of course, he wanted to try that out right away.

Upon arriving, he encountered various other characters who were also farming. No problem, there is enough for everyone! Less than two minutes later, PhantumJak reportedly received an in-game message that he should leave and farm elsewhere, or he would be reported by the entire group of the chat troll.

PhantumJak also responded by submitting a ticket due to harassment in chat. He remained at the farm spot for about 30 more minutes but was constantly concerned that he might actually get banned due to Blizzard’s heavily automated reporting system. It’s not fun to play WoW like this.

Lastly, the affected player gave a tip for a better place to farm cloth: visit the follower dungeon “Dunkelflammenspalt” and take out every enemy until the first boss. Then reset the instance and run it again. This way you will find plenty of cloth and have peace from the competition.

Blizzard should be banned for these bugs:

How does the community react to the experience? Although nothing happened to PhantumJak in this specific situation, the over 100 comments show that there are toxic groups in WoW that deliberately exploit Blizzard’s automated reporting system to take out selected victims or competitors.

  • curbstxmped puts it succinctly on Reddit: “They are like this because Blizzard’s crappy reporting system allows them to.”
  • shadowsquirt explains on Reddit that he was a victim of the reporting system: “Yep, I am a victim. I immediately outbid people who were bidding against me at the AH, and a week later I was banned. I even have screenshots of them telling others how to report people in a community chat […].”
  • Laptican recalls on Reddit: “A good example of this was a stream by Asmongold, where he was banned within 2 minutes just because he wanted to test it.”
  • Naice_Rucima praises PhantumJak’s reaction on Reddit: “Good call, always report their messages, and never respond to them.”

Reports about players who exploit the WoW reporting system for their own gain or for fun keep coming up – for example, a few months ago, also on Reddit, or in the official forum of blizzard.com from September 2024, or on YouTube.

Pokémon GO introduces the first legendary Dyna-monster and the community is really angry

Paul Kutzner Paul Kutzner Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO you can fight and catch a legendary Dyna-monster for the first time since yesterday. However, the community is not very pleased about it.

Since the Dynamax battles in Pokémon GO were unlocked, there have already been several monsters released in this form. Even the stronger form, the Gigadynamax battles, has already made its way into the game.

Since this week, there is Dyna-Articuno now also the first legendary Dyna-Pokémon in Dyna battles. However, there are some trainers in the community who criticize this.

“I will never touch Dynamax or Gigantamax again.”

What is the community criticizing? Already at the announcement of the legendary Dyna-Raids, there was criticism from the community. It was criticized that there are no decent counter-Pokémon for Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres.

After trainers have now completed the first Dyna-Raids against Articuno, additional points of criticism have emerged. In a post on Reddit, the trainer dapren22 complains about the following:

“I just spent an hour defeating a Dyna-Articuno with 3 trainers, one Level 39, Level 38, and me Level 50. We all had the right counters, almost 3000 CP, leveled-up attacks, and couldn’t win. That completely discouraged me and I will never touch Dynamax or Gigantamax again.”

Careless-Reference39 additionally points out in the same post: “the sheer amount of candies needed to improve the attacks is insane”.

Additionally, the timer in the lobby is criticized. Once 4 players have gathered in the Dyna lobby, the timer is reduced to 10 seconds, which, according to QuietRedditorATX on Reddit, is problematic:

“As soon as you are 4 players, the countdown is reduced to 10 seconds. This can lead to rushing when switching your team. Moreover, you have little time to ensure that your team consists of the right 4 people and not a random player in the group.”

Other commentators note that it is difficult for them to find the right number of trainers in their rural area. They hope for the possibility to participate in a Dyna battle like in a remote raid.

What do you think about this? Have you already fought against Dyna-Articuno? Have you had similar negative experiences? Feel free to share your opinion in the comments.

In addition to the release of Dyna-Articuno, there is another new Pokémon that you can now obtain in the game. And you have 3 different methods to get it. And one of them is even doable without moving: You can obtain the new monster in Pokémon GO without leaving your apartment.

„Maybe I will play Marvel Rivals for the rest of my life“ – The shooter god of Twitch is in love

Johanna Johanna Reading time 2 minutes

A Twitch streamer is particularly impressed by the new hero shooter Marvel Rivals. So much so that he is now considering putting together a professional e-sports team.

Who is it about? This is about the Twitch streamer Michael “shroud” Grzesiek. He is a former professional CS:GO e-sport player and started streaming on Twitch during his career.

In 2016, he and his team took first place in the ESL Pro League Season 4. In 2018, he participated in the PUBG August Twitch Rival and secured second place there.

In the meantime, he has ended his time as a professional e-sport player and is now only active as a content creator on Twitch and YouTube. There, he uses his reach for charitable purposes, among other things: Twitch: Shooter legend shroud plays for a good cause, donating money for each kill

Here you can watch the trailer for the first season of Marvel Rivals:

Marvel Rivals kicks off the first season with a new trailer

“The game could be just right”

shroud is enthusiastic about Marvel Rivals. He recently showed this in one of his streams when he reacted to a Twitch stream by xQc, who was playing the game.

He considered setting a donation goal, and if a certain amount was reached, he could assemble an e-sports team. Possibly even an organization. He said (via X): “The game could be just right” and later added: “Maybe I’ll play it for the rest of my life”.

Recently, he participated in a tournament for Marvel Rivals as part of Twitch Rivals. Twitch streamer Valkyrae, however, did not have fun.

How does the community react? Most comments under the X post are skeptical:

  • Dylanz1369 thinks (via X): “In three months, he won’t be playing this game anymore”
  • Teddyschott1 writes (via X): “By the way, he said the same about Deadlock.”
  • ShinCapet also thinks (via X): “shroud says that about every new shooter that comes out.”

Whether shroud will follow through on his announcement remains to be seen. He could, however, raise the financial resources, and he already has the expertise as a former e-sport player.

The question would then be whether he would also play or just be the head of a team. In any case, he could use his experience to invest it into building a team.
