YouTuber and Warzone pro JoeWo has brought the OTs 9 back into the ‘best Warzone SMG’ conversation after showing off exactly how effective it can still be on Rebirth Island.  Warzone’s Season 2 Reloaded SMG meta has been a stagnant one thus far with theMP40 and Welgun dominating the top of the order, but that doesn’t mean all of the other SMGs are completely unusable. JoeWo, Warzone’s resident Movement King, has taken it upon himself to show off how the long-abandoned OTs 9 build from 2021 can still be used to great effect if you know when and where to use it.

Call of Duty: Vanguard comes with some new additions for 2021 — but one is making headlines for the wrong reasons. Warzone steamers and the entire CoD community don’t seem fond of the Beta’s blinding new sun glare. So, CoD Vanguard is trying some new things and bringing some old things back.

Dan ‘apEX’ Madesclaire had high praise for Nikola ‘NiKo’ Kovač at the BLAST Premier World Final and called the Bosnian CSGO star the “best rifler of all time.” Throughout the years, debates on the “best player in the world” generally boil down to NAVI’s Oleksandr ‘s1mple’ Kostyliev and Vitality’s Mathieu ‘ZywOo’ Herbaut. But once NiKo’s rifle gets going, he comfortably fits into the conversation. ApEX is impressed with the level of competition unfolding at the BLAST World Finals.

While this is exciting for existing owners of the title, new players can often be put off by Vanguard’s upfront cost and instead turn to Warzone.

After the team’s loss to RNG in the finals of MSI 2022, T1’s CEO Joe Marsh put out a Twitter thread defending coaches Choi ‘Polt’ Seong-hun and Kim ‘Moment’ Ji-hwan in the face of community criticism.  After an 18-0 domestic Spring split (the first in LCK history), many expected that Korean representative T1 would be the de-facto tournament favorite at the 2022 Mid-Season Invitational. Coming into MSI, T1’s roster looked the best it had in years, although there were those who weren’t drawn in by the glitz and glamor of an undefeated split.

Former Call of Duty pro and current content creator Doug‘Censor’ Martin infamously broke things off with the “world’s sexiest weather girl” Yanet Garcia in summer 2018, opting to focus on esports full-time – and now, he’s finally opened up about his latest relationship, but some fans are worried about his romantic prospects.

At the time, he defended himself and challenged them to take over his stream to see how difficult it really is.
