Players looking to get their hands on new Ishgardian private and Free Company housing in Final Fantasy XIV Online may be out of luck following a drawing riddled with issues. As part of the long-anticipated Patch 6.1, continuing the story introduced in the latest DLC expansion, Endwalker, players received the opportunity to participate in a lottery for housing in Ishgard’s residential district, Empyreum. This housing district is the newest addition to the residential areas in FFXIV, including Gridania’s Lavender Beds and Limsa Lominsa’s Mist.

Tyson “TenZ” Ngo was considered as one of the up-and-coming talents from CS: GO’s North American region, and Cloud9 recruited him to its ranks in 2019. He was an active part of the team for three months before getting benched. He transitioned into a full-time streamer during his time on the side and became a streamer within the organization before retiring from CS:GO and becoming a pro in VALORANT in April 2020, where he managed to hit the highest rank shortly after the game’s ranked mode’s release.

It’s hard to pinpoint how it happens exactly, but Dota 2 has a way of becoming engrained in players’ lives, even if they stop playing. Most Dota 2 enthusiasts who believe they’re done for good often find themselves watching streams and reading patch notes regularly to get their Dota 2 fix. Changing your phone or PC’s wallpaper to anything Dota 2 related can help you remember all the epic games you’ve played and encourage you to come back to the game.

When it comes to the Crucible, a Guardian is only as good as their arsenal. In Destiny 2, the Crucible’s sandbox shifts every few months. Certain guns and entire archetypes are changed, for the better or worse, and new guns enter the meta when it comes time to grind Quickplay, Competitive, or even Trials of Osiris. It’s important to pay attention to Bungie’s patch notes to see what changes with each game update because some guns completely fall by the wayside while others rise from the ashes or appear out of mediocrity to dominate the game’s PvP modes.

Samira has become one of the most popular laners in League of Legends since her release. Her unique playstyle rewards you as you improve, and her tools to deal damage, dash around fights, and negative projectiles make her a great addition to any team composition. While the latest nerf in Patch 11.4 sent Samira down in popularity, she still remains a great pick if you’re looking for a hypercarry in the bottom lane.

The race to become the world’s first Destiny 2 fireteam to finish the Vow of the Disciple raid kicked off at 2pm CT on March 5. The teams had 24 hours to compete on an even playing field, ensuring that the group with the best overall skill and communication will be the first to claim victory. During this time period, players competed in contest mode, which put them at a capped Power level of 1530—20 points below the recommended level of 1550.

The VALORANT team took the competitive queues down last night due to some game-breaking bugs, and players are waking up to no fix. The issues first started late last night when players reported some big bugs that caught the attention of the VALORANT developers. One bug impacted Raze’s Blast Pack and the other bug was related to the Spike defuse sound not being audible in certain situations, although Riot did not expand on what those situations were or if they were consistent.

Professional VALORANT is growing at a rapid rate, with the evolving gameplay and proven Riot-driven ecosystem attracting fans, aspiring and established pros alike, and intrigued organizations. Heading into 2022, a lot of attention is being drawn to the VALORANT Champions Tour as it enters its second year. One region to watch, in particular, is North America. In 2021, North American events were the most-watched of any regional VCT events and some of the best teams from NA were among the top finishers at the first international VALORANT LAN events at Masters.

In competitive gaming, it’s important to take every possible step to ensure your maximum performance. This can be achieved without spending hundreds or thousands of dollars on the best gear. There are always ways to improve your performance inside the game. Apex Legends is one of the most popular battle royale titles available today. It’s become renowned in the battle royale genre for how competitive the game is, as well as the game’s ranked mode, which allows players to see just how good they are, and how much they can improve.

Blizzard today confirmed a change to “Drums of Battle,” an item made by the Leatherworking profession and that was originally released in World of Warcraft’s first expansion, The Burning Crusade.  While drums were known for being so important that everyone used Leatherworking as one of their professions, Blizzard said during BlizzConline it didn’t want to make players feel that way in during Classic TBC.  The change announced today doesn’t necessarily nerf the affect of drums, however.
