[ad_1] Critics like The Fortnite Guy have argued that a permanent ban was unfair to Jarvis, pointing out that he got a permanent ban while players who cheated in a pro tournament got away with a temporary ban and even competed in the Fortnite World Cup.

‘Dota 2’ will match players sooner if they’re open to different roles
[ad_1] It works on a credit system that provides more Fast Queue games the more you’re willing to play any role. You get four games (on top of the one you’re playing) each time you play solo. Two-player parties earn two games each, while three-player teams earn a game each. Five-player stacks will always enter […]
Epic Games Store revamp helps you find trending titles
[ad_1] The refresh also brings a way to make Epic Games Store purchases within games (such as for add-ons or virtual currency packs), stricter 3D Secure authentication for purchases in Europe (to match local laws) and Thai language support. If you were hoping for larger updates, you’ll just have to wait. Epic is still developing […]
‘PUBG Mobile’ Payload Mode adds helicopters and airstrikes
[ad_1] There are perks on the ground as well. PUBG Mobile is borrowing a cue from Apex Legends by adding an option to “recall” lost teammates if you can bring their ID cards to communication towers. Vehicle repair packs can keep your UAZ going if you’d rather not abandon it mid-drive. And if you’ve liked […]
DeepMind AI now keeps up with ‘StarCraft II’ Grandmasters
[ad_1] AI in reinforcement training is normally set to maximize its chances of winning, but that doesn’t necessarily make for strong training.

Steam’s redesigned Library is available to everyone
[ad_1] This is also a big update if you miss the days of multiplayer games on the couch. The new version expands the Remote Play Together beta to everyone, not just people using the beta client.

‘Apex Legends’ adds two-player teams on November 5th
[ad_1] Apex Legends players won’t have to choose between full three-player squads or (when it’s an option) going solo, at least for a while. Respawn is adding a “limited time” duos mode to the battle royale game starting on November 5th. Other details aren’t forthcoming, but the appeal is fairly self-evident. You can get backup […]
The first season of Call of Duty League begins January 24th
[ad_1] Call of Duty has been a staple of the esports scene for years. Until now, though, it has primarily focused on city-independent teams. The League is a bid to bring some of the fandom of conventional sports teams to the gaming realm, including home and away games. Even some of the ownership is familiar […]
NCAA will allow college athletes to earn money off their likeness
[ad_1] While the NCAA says it made the decision following months of “comprehensive” input, the fact California Governor Gavin Newsom signed the state’s Fair Play bill into law at end of September likely influenced the policy change more than anything else. The legislation allows the state’s college athletes to accept endorsement deals and hire agents […]
Razer game controller turns your phone into a wannabe Switch
[ad_1] The Junglecat relies on a low-lag Bluetooth connection, and topping it up with USB-C will give you a healthy 100 hours of battery life. A companion Android app provides per-game button mapping and stick sensitivity adjustments. And before you ask: no, there’s no Joy-Con style motion control or vibration feedback. You can buy the […]
