ESTNN analyzes the Primal Shotgun changes. The competitive Fortnite scene never shies away from the game's occasional overpowered weapons and items. Season X mech suits and Chapter 2 - Season 2 Mythic weapons are critical reference points of unbalanced destruction tools through Fortnite's competitive history. The Epic Games of old would gloss over these items, and competitors had to make due. Since then, the team behind Fortnite has turned a corner with increased communication and responses to feedback. Unfortunately, the game's latest season introduced a new shotgun that has players concerned. Also Read: Chipotle Challenger Series Spring 2021 Results  Primal Shotgun Issue Fortnite Chapter 2 - Season 6  began on March 16, with Epic Games introducing mechanics like Animal Taming and Weapon Crafting into Battle Royale mode.

The competition is heating up at the Major, with Round 1 of the Playoffs is in the bag. Our first day of Playoffs at the Singapore Major gave us plenty of treats as we watched the best of the best duke it out in round 1 of our Upper Bracket. Let’s take a look at how things played out. Evil Geniuses vs Fnatic It was the first series for both EG and Fnatic at the Major, but the teams had obviously been paying attention to the Wild Cards and Groups. Game 1 saw both Puck and Io banned out. Death Prophet however, snuck through in the form of a flex pick for EG. She’s been the fourth most picked hero at this Major, with a total of 37 games and a win ration of 49%. Tal “Fly” Aizik ended up taking her to the safe lane to support Artour “Arteezy” Babaev’s Juggernaut. EG came in aggressive, taking out first blood. Still Fnatic were looking strong through the lanes with Marc “Raven” Polo Luis Fausto’s Phantom Assassin drawing even in Dire’s top lane. The game’s opening wasn’t as brutal ...

TSM PowerOfEvil discusses the series win against Evil Geniuses and looking forward to completing the lower bracket run. A week ago, TSM took a rough defeat against Team Liquid and was forced into their "comfort zone" of the Lower Bracket. Fans were hoping to see a more polished team take the Rift, but at times, it felt that TSM stumbled across the finish line. Following TSM’s 3-1 series win , we sat down with Tristan "PowerOfEvil" Schrage to discuss his thoughts on the series and what the team needs to do to challenge for the Mid-Season Showdown crown. We’re joined by TSM’s mid laner PowerOfEvil after their win against Evil Geniuses. How are you doing today? I’m good! It was a stressful series but I’m happy we pulled it out with a 3-1 victory.

S1mple was rumoured to switch to Valorant after streaming it for many days. Recently there have been a lot of rumours that Natus Vincere’s star player, Oleksandr "s1mple" Kostyliev, may be switching over to Valorant while leaving CS:GO after multiple Valorant streams. In his March 29 Twitch stream, s1mple clarified his plans after being asked by one of his viewers if he would really quit CS:GO to play Valorant. S1mple has recently helped Na’Vi to win at BLAST Premier: Global Final 2020 and BLAST Premier: Spring Groups 2021. He is one of the best CS:GO players in the world and has had incredible wins. In spite of that, there were certain rumours circulating of him leaving CS:GO, which he decided to clarify. He said “Listen! If I were Astralis (the Danish CS:GO team) that has won four Majors, I would probably think about it you know. But now I have zero Majors. So I will keep grinding”. With this, he made it very clear that he has no plans on shifting to Valorant. Recently...

All the highlights from our second and final day of Groups at the Singapore Major. Eight teams participated in the Singapore Major Group Stage and seven advanced to the playoffs. Only one team was eliminated at the end of the day, and that was Alliance. The teams that advanced to the upper bracket of playoffs were Thunder Predator, PSG.LGD and Vici Gaming, whereas the teams that advanced to the Lower Bracket of Playoffs were Quincy Crew, Team Liquid, Team Aster and Neon Esports. Team Aster vs Team Liquid On Day 1 of the Group Stage, Team Aster and Team Liquid had 4-4 scores in the standings. They were both considered as equals heading into this series and that’s exactly how it ended. The series ended with a tie of 1-1. In Game 1, Team Liquid had a great start in which they had killed enemy mid hero Shadow Fiend four times just in the laning stage. Even though both the teams had good AOE damage, Liquid had an upper hand as they had more durable heroes which helped them win every t...

We are now deep in the tournament with the Day 4 of the group stages. ESTNN looks at all the matches from Stream B. The Day 4 Stream B of group stages had teams Alliance, B Esports x Neon, PSG.LGD, Thunder Predator and Team Liquid battling against each other for places in the playoffs. As the games progressed we kept a close eye on each one to present a recap for people who missed the show. Neon Esports vs Thunder Predator The first game between Neon and Thunder was equal in the early game, with Thunder looking a bit more in control. Thunder picked Razor to counter Neon’s Troll Warlord, but teamfights looked in Neon’s favor close to the mid-game. Neon had a lot of sustenance with picks like Oracle and Phoenix. It was around the 30-minute mark that Thunder really showed the prowess of their draft. Initiations from Mars and damage from Phantom Assassin, Death Prophet and Razor was too much for Neon who called “Good Game”. Neon had full control after the early game in their second m...

All the highlights from our final day of Groups at the Singapore Major. Our last day of our Group Stage saw plenty of top-tier Dota on display. With the final series done and dusted, we now know the full seeding for our Upper and Lower Brackets in the Playoffs tomorrow. We break down all the action from Stream A. Quincy Crew vs Alliance It’s been a rough ride for Alliance in the Groups. Still, they came into the first map of this series with a disciplined approach that paid off. Quincy Crew had a strong line up, with Quinn “Quinn” Callahan on Puck, A Tusk for stand-in Wilson “Poloson” Koh Chin Wei and Avery “LoA” Silverman on Enigma, their draft provided plenty of stun and lockdown opportunities. Meanwhile, Yawar “YawaR” Hassan’s Juggernaut and Rodrigo “Lelis” Santos on Venomancer brought the damage. It looked good on paper. They snatched first blood and were looking strong through the lanes. Then at 11-minutes, Linus “Limmp” Blomdin’s Dragon Knight got his Blink Dagger. Then t...

Fortnite Chapter 2 - Season 6's first update has arrived. Epic Games dropped the latest Fortnite Battle Royale installment two weeks ago. The new crafting and animal taming mechanics led the way, which fit in nicely with this season's "Primal" theme. Season 6 also featured a collection of new weapons. Epic included a variety of Primal and Makeshift guns to the loot pool for players to experience. Patch 16.10 deployed early this morning, and Epic made a conscious effort to address many of the community's concerns. Some of those include the overpowered Primal Shotgun, inferior Makeshift Shotgun and the general lack of crafting resources. Let's see what changes came through in the first patch of Season 6. Bonus Tweet! This week, we’re experimenting with bringing back moving Storm Circles to non-competitive modes for the last two zones.

Let’s take a look at whether Weaver is a viable carry in 2021. By the looks of it, 2021 is going to be a good year for Dota 2. The new DPC has started and we already got to see loads of amazing series. Needless to say, there were loads of interesting heroes that were picked in several series, one of which was Weaver. The pesky hero hasn’t been the most popular pick through the years, at least when it comes down to the professional Dota 2 scene. However, it seems like the recent changes have a positive impact because Weaver was picked a lot of times, especially in combination with IO. The two heroes are really difficult to deal with because they are hard to kill and can do a lot of damage. With that being said, let’s take a look at a few things that will help us decide whether Weaver is a viable carry. Weaver’s current state Similar to most heroes in Dota 2, Weaver received a lot of buffs in the last couple of years. Even though neither of them were ground-breaking, it seems they ...

Because of this, Treyarch has given us the patch notes ahead of the update. Many changes to the weapon balancing, and CDL game modes have come in. Here’s everything you need to know. Weapon Changes Many weapons have been buffed/nerfed in this update.

Increased sprint-out speed by 14.2%. Increased raise speed by 11%. Slightly increased ADS-in speed. AK-74u The AK-74u is one weapon that receives a nerf to ...

Recap on the five series played of Day 1 of the Group Stage of the One Esports Singapore Major 2021. Thunder Predator shocked the world of Dota 2 by performing beyond expectations and winning all four series played today. Stream B covered five series today, where three of them were played by Thunder Predator. Team Liquid vs Thunder Predator With a great performance in Wild Cards, Team Liquid was considered favorites against Thunder Predator. In Game 1, Liquid had a great laning stage. With the help of two pushing heroes, Lycan and Death Prophet, they were able to secure two tier-1 towers within the first 11 minutes. After a few minutes, Thunder lost four heroes to Liquid but were able to snatch Aegis away from Liquid. After a while, Liquid decided to push for the bottom barracks without Aegis and lost the team fight. Liquid tried the same strategy again and lost four heroes in that fight, along with their gold lead. Soon, Thunder was able to secure Aegis and decided to push the b...
