Will Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile Launch Soon?

It looks as though Activision, the creators of Call of Duty, are looking to expand the CoD: Warzone into the mobile market. The CoD: Mobile, which launched last year, was a massive success. It features the standard multiplayer options and a battle royale mode.

Activision posted a job listing on its site for an executive producer for a series with the code WZM. Many believe that WZM indicates that the position is for Warzone. However, the posting has since been deleted, which leaves us to speculate.

Call of Duty: Warzone, released in March this year, is a battle royale mode game. It’s been popular among players and had 75 million users in August.

ATK Arena Open Venue for Free

ATK Arena has proven its commitment to the esports community. The organization is home to an excellent venue where there are frequent social events and tournaments. However, the lockdown rules and regulations are still quite harsh in South Africa, negatively impacting many gamers.

To ease the stress of finding a stable internet connection or venue for teams during the busy month, ATK Arena has opened its doors to the community.

If a player or team needs a spot or use the headquarters’ available resources, they’re free to do so. All gamers must first show proof that they’re competing and that they’re part of an organization.

THREAT Will Stand in for Nawwk at ESL Pro League

As the top-tier competition reaches new levels this year, many gamers have taken a step back due to exhaustion and burnout. It’s becoming increasingly common among players, and the latest to come close to burnout is Tim “nawwk” Jonasson.

The Ninjas in Pajamas’s AWPer will be taking a break from the remaining two matches of the ESL Pro League Season 12. He’s been showing signs of exhaustion, and the organization is putting his health first. He should heal and rest before the situation escalates, and he’s on the bench for an extended period.

In the meantime, the NiP coach, Bj?rn “THREAT” Pers, will fill in for nawwk during the ESL Pro League. If all goes well, he’ll be back in good health and ready for the DreamHack Open on October 15.

FALKOL vs HAVAN LIBERTY GAMING LoL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS

FALKOL vs HAVAN LIBERTY GAMING BRCC SPLIT 1 2020 BETTING PREVIEW

Falkol will look to claim their third consecutive win over Havan Liberty Gaming when the two sides clash this Monday in the final week of League of Legends Brazilian Challenger Circuit (BRCC) Split 1.

Havan Liberty Gaming enter the seventh week of BRCC 2020 Split 1 with a 7-6 record next to their name, which sits them in a three-way tie for third place with RED Canids and Falkol. Havan have won only two of their last five matches, beating Team oNe eSports and Intergalaxy Tigers Gaming but losing to Falkol, RED Canids and Santos e-Sports.

The results Havan put up in April fail to inspire much optimism ahead of what could be their most important fixture of the split. Their scratchy performance against Intergalaxy Tigers is a huge concern, as the bottom side have managed only one win in 13 outings this split.

Still, Havan showcased enough quality in the mid-late game to get the job done against ITG. Jungler Marcos “Cariok” Oliveira on Khartus and ADC Luiz “flare” Lobo on Miss Fortune were the two main actors for Havan, although they were aided by the disappointing performance of Intergalaxy’s André “Erdan” Silva on Sett in the top lane.

While Havan Liberty Gaming’s recent showings have left much to be desired, it’s hard to say Falkol are in a much better spot ahead of Week 7. Their last fortnight of BRCC fixtures produced wins over Havan and Intergalaxy Tigers, but they fell flat against RED Canids, Santos and Team oNe eSports.

In their clash with Team oNe last Thursday, Falkol struggled to keep up with their adversaries from the get-go. We could cut them some slack for their slow start since oNe drafted a more early-mid game team composition, but it’s also fair to say it was Falkol’s own fault for deciding on a suboptimal draft strategy.

The current League of Legends meta relies heavily on strong drafts. Most games are won or lost before the players enter the Rift and if Falkol can’t learn from their mistakes, they will struggle to make an impact in the playoffs.

FALKOL vs HAVAN LIBERTY GAMING BRCC SPLIT 1 BETTING PREDICTIONS

Since Falkol have already defeated Havan Liberty Gaming twice this season, it is no surprise to see them enter Monday’s clash as favourites. That said, the odds on the outsiders are perhaps a little looser than they should be.

The problem with Pedro “Matsukaze” Gama and his crew is that they rely heavily on getting an early lead. Although Falkol can use their early advantage to roll over their opponents, more often than not they tend to fall apart once they lag behind. This makes them a very volatile team, so the $1.59 about Falkol at GG Bet looks quite tight.

Havan’s ADC, flare, and his support, Eidi “esA” Yanagimachi, have been performing well of late and hold 6.94 and 6.29 KDAs respectively, which are two of the highest marks in the league. Flare rarely prioritises meta ADCs, making it incredibly difficult to draft against him, whereas esA’s deep champion pool allows him to adapt to any role his team needs him to play.

This match will come down to the bottom lane, where Havan field the strongest duo in the league. Indeed, with the sole exception of Leonardo “Hidan” Borré dos Santos, all of Havan’s players have been putting up significantly better numbers than their Falkol counterparts, which is why we are backing the underdogs.
