Professional CS:GO players Gabriel “FalleN” Toledo, Jake “Stewie2K” Yip, and Michael “Grim” Wince are no longer part of Team Liquid’s active lineup, the organization’s general manager Steve Perino announced today in a video. The benching of these players comes amid multiple reports that Liquid will rebuild its CS:GO lineup for 2022. The team’s morale fell apart after they failed to qualify for PGL Stockholm Major playoffs in early November and they played the last tournaments of the year—BLAST Premier Fall Final, IEM Winter, and BLAST Premier World Final—without practicing together.

Any weak creature can become an unstoppable machine when equipped with the proper Artifact.

A well-geared PC is a great ally to have for gamers, especially in competitive games where 10 FPS can make a difference. If you don’t have the hardware to push your talents further, you can only get so far. Though it’s hard to have the same level of customizability with prebuilt gaming PCs, they’ve come a long way and are directly challenging DIY PCs in every aspect. Finding the “best” PC depends on your usage, needs, and budget.

While the MP5 and AK-74u get all of the attention for submachine guns in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, the KSP 45 is a bit of a sleeper weapon that deserves your time.

The Origin 12 shotgun is the latest gun to enter the fray as “overpowered” in the minds of Call of Duty streamers. Otherwise overlooked and often entirely forgotten by the game’s player base, the Origin 12 is an automatic shotgun with poor range that’s outclassed by other guns in the archetype. But with the right attachments and in the right scenarios, the Origin 12 can be a decent secondary option for up-close engagements.

Bel’Veth, the newest League of Legends champion, has finally taken her place on the Summoner’s Rift as a deadly jungler that brings a ton of damage, speed, and mobility for team compositions. She can be frighteningly strong, especially in the late-game when she is able to get items to further boost her attack speed. However, there are plenty of ways to battle the Empress of the Void. Some champions need to take advantage of any weakness she has—even this monstrous creature isn’t infallible.
