This is an old revision of the document!
For example, the semi-finals match: Laval vs. Kentucky. Laval, they love the concept of eSports but Laval as a school have yet to embrace it. They're trying to be that lightning rod that says, “This is a thing. This is something that a lot of students have the passion for.” They want to be a spark to a legacy. Not only that, they are representing an entire country. Interviewing them yesterday, they said something like every Canadian team has reached out to them and congratulating t
I know I kinda go back to this a lot, but with 134 champions it can not only be hard to balance them all, but it can also be hard to make them unique. A lot of _ League _ heroes tend to blend together, with only a slight variations to give them some original
AHIII: Yeah, it is very much that principle. Thankfully, people have enjoyed my casting. It has led to other opportunities and snowballed into where I'm at now. I feel extremely lucky to have gotten the opportunities that I have. It's just me trying to be
While Blizzard (the makers of _ Warcraft III _ ) had their hand in giving birth to MOBAs as a genre, they’ve been strangely behind the times while MOBAs took the E-sports world by storm. It wasn’t until 2015, with the release of _ Heroes of the Storm _ ( _ HotS _ for short), that Blizzard took these multiplayer battle arenas seriously enough to warrant a game of their own. And while _ League of Legends _ (or _ LoL _ for short) is still top dog, it has a lot to learn from Blizzard’s upstart M
For this list, we only considered trailers from World of Warcraft forward, but the best five cinematic moments from the pre- WoW days could be an entirely different list. Despite the limited technology of the time, Blizzard still managed to produce amazing cinematics for the original versions of Diablo, StarCraft , and Warcraft 1
It's no secret that Mists of Pandaria is not the most beloved World of Warcraft expansion. Many players were disappointed by the Moba Game Tips's move in a seemingly less serious direction, especially as it arrived just after one of the darker stories in the game's complicated l
“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
AHIII: (laughs) It is still a mystery to me too. I started casting in January 2016. There's a community effort called Chair League which is like Saturday night bowling. It's for recreation; you do put a team together and there are standings but it's for fun. They were looking for casters. I emailed the person who started it and said, “Hey, do you need another caster?” He was like, “Yeah, what experience do you have?” I had none but I just thought it would be c
The second runner-up in the BAFTA nominations race is Tearaway , which is impressive considering for a game only available on a mobile platform. Released on the PlayStation Vita and developed by Media Molecule, the studio behind the LittleBigPlanet games, Tearaway is set in a paper world that definitely seemed to charm the Academy, based on the eight nominations it received in categories such as Game Innovation, Game Design and Best G
But then, as I played the game, I realized something — something that made me re-evaluate my outlook on the sport. As you take control of the manager, you really are being that individual sportsman. You are the guy that works hard and has to make the tough decisions. You are the guy whom, if you mess up, your whole team will lose. Without you, your team is noth
“Because of all the reasons I listed in the above question, this one has been expensive, I’m not going to lie. It’s amazing how much more efficient you are after you’ve worked with a material for a bit. I would say I’ve easily spent twice as much money on this project and maybe quadruple the amount of time as anything I’ve done before. In the end, I think it’s really taken on a life of its own, and even if no one else can appreciate it, I will have learned so much from it that it will all be worth
There's no denying that all of the WoW expansion cinematics are pretty fantastic and using only a few for this list was a hard task. The Burning Crusade trailer runs with the same theme as the original and the others start working more and more lore into the reveals. However, these five stood out the most for their impact and genuine wow (no pun intended) fac
_ League of Legends _ is a big deal. At peak periods there can be over 7 million players on Riot’s servers. Having this many gamers playing at once can make policing player behaviour a little tricky. The result is a community that is famous for its snark, saltiness and general unfriendliness to new players - and that’s putting it ligh
