Each table is broken down into five categories: Rank, Team, Win-Loss, Game W-L, and G +/-. Rank is simply where the team sits on the standings, with the number one team being the best, and the number eight team being the worst. The Team section is simply which team holds that rank. Win-Loss is the team’s current record, with the first number indicating how many matches that team has won, and the second number indicating how many matches the team has l

If that wasn’t enough, three Heroic Account Unlock codes will be given away on each day. These codes will give you access to every Hero in the game, excluding Whitemane. To be eligible to win, you’ll need to watch at least one hour on any of the given days. After the day’s action is over, the Heroic Account Unlock codes will be distribu

It was mentioned at the top of this column that Heroes of the Storm got some major attention on national television on Sunday. Blizzard’s Heroes of the Dorm competition had its grand finals, with the winners getting tuition money for the duration of their college care

You see, Championship Manager 1970s Legends is not a perfect MOBA Game Tier list. As a game designed for a portable device, it’s almost entirely terrible. With far too many menus and stats to keep track of, it requires thought, patience, and can’t be played in anything like the same manner as Angry Birds . But it is addictive. Even if, like me, you have no knowledge of 1970’s soccer players, you begin to form an attachment nonetheless. I soon realized that my top striker was a guy named Peter Lorimer, and so I began to put him in every game I played, and he always came out on top. Having now researched him on the internet, it’s clear that he was was a pretty darned good soccer player. That’s another good thing about Legends , it doesn’t require knowledge to play it, but it does encourage further research. To be quite honest however, I don’t care about the real Peter Lorimer. All I know is, he’s the best player on my team, and he’s going to win me the Championship, 70s st

I was floored when I first launched Dota 2. The game now boasts a character roster of 113 heroes, all immediately available for the player’s first match. It’s a shining light of hope for completionists everywhere. There may be fair protestations against giving every newbie Invoker and Meepo. But while it’s a little overwhelming, it’s ultimately rewarding if a gamer takes the time to learn every h

“This was a project full of firsts for me. It’s been incredibly frustrating and educational trying to finally accomplish this cosplay. This was my first time making armor with Worbla, and I only have one burn scar… so far! In fact, this was my first time using automotive primer, Bondo, silicone molds, resin casts, and a whole lot of other stuff. I’m a kinetic learner, so the only way I really get a handle on stuff is by getting my hands on it and going for it. I messed up a lot, but I learned a lot. You really just have to take every little thing in stride. I had been pushing to try and get this cosplay ready for a specific convention, and nearly drove myself mad trying to do it. Instead, I’ve learned now to just sit back and enjoy the experience. It’ll be done when it’s done, and I’ll be proud of the finished produ

“The demon hunter was the project that I decided to do after I went to my first major convention and got a good look at what other people were producing. I mained a demon hunter all the way through Diablo 3 , had loved the character and the artwork associated with it. It seemed a natural choice for me at the time. I just kind of sat down one day, looked at my boyfriend, and said “This. This is what I want to do next.” So I did it. Rather poorly. It was pretty much glued together and the first time I wore it to Megacon, it hadn’t even been sealed, I just slapped paint on it. It evolved quite a bit between Megacon and Supercon. It now just sits on a mannequin in my room, it’s almost too fragile to wear out anymore. There’s a nostalgic part of me that wants to remake it knowing everything I know now

Meanwhile, Dota 2 matches can average around 50 minutes per match. A huge complaint among the Dota 2 community is the inability to concede a match. However, comebacks are much more common in these matches . Many of the game’s most amazing turnarounds could never have happened if Valve had allowed the implementation of a surrender opt

This weekend included a banner day for eSports with a competition for Blizzard’s Heroes of the Storm getting broadcast live on ESPN 2 . More on that later, but first, there were also major developments across Dota 2 , Hearthstone and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. It’s all on this week’s eSports Rep

“I think it’s something that I’ve always been interested in, but it wasn’t until I got into college and met some people doing it that I actually took the plunge. I’m not even sure if I can classify my first “outing” as a cosplay, I threw some stuff together and did a Lady Vader back in 2012. I had fun though, and got a good look at what other people were producing, asked a lot of questions, and thought ‘yeah, I really need to do this right
