In the past week, Netflix’s latest K-Drama offering, Squid Game, has taken the world by storm. The original series centres around people deep in debt and poverty, who compete in 6 Korean childhood games, with a twist. From Red Light, Green Light to Tug-of-War, everyone’s competing to play for a whooping 45.6 Billion Won (USD$38.6 Million). Everyone’s playing on a fair and balanced playing field… or so it seems.
What a crazy sight to behold! The Noble Pokemon Kleavor just dropped in Pokemon Legends: Arceus, and we are living for it! Said to be Scyther’s Hisui evolution, this Pokemon will slice you up with its 2 axe-like hands before you know it. We can’t wait to battle this beast! Which of Scyther’s evolutions do you prefer: Kleavor or the popular Scizor?
As hype for the League of Legends Worlds 2021 continues to amp up, there seems to be one very sore spot slowly growing in size in Southeast Asia (SEA). For one of the biggest esports tournaments of the year, SEA is left in a corner watching with no team to root for, only living vicariously through the PCS Seeds, PSG Talon and Beyond Gaming. Ever since the PCS was introduced and the pandemic hit, there has been zero SEA representation at any international competition.
MPL ID is the most viewed MPL by far in the region. With more than 1 million concurrent viewers when teams such as EVOS, RRQ, ONIC, and Alter Ego play, there’s no doubt that MPL ID is also the most competitive MPL. From the last 2 seasons, teams who didn’t manage to get to the playoffs were GEEK FAM and AURA ESPORTS. They were both at the bottom 2 places in the regular seasons 6 and 7 respectively. GEEK FAM only won 6 games combined, and AURA only won 1 game.
All hands on keyboards! The International 10 (TI10) is just a week away. But of course, Miss Corona still rears its ugly head around. Measures to make the biggest Dota 2 competition “a fully-masked, fully-vaccinated event” mean a quieter occasion, with half the fans.
Banana gave themselves a chance to dream. It did not matter if it was the Wild Rift Icon Series or SEA Championships. They were just 5 guys having fun, who ended up facing some of the top teams on their tournament run – and putting on a good show.
With Southeast Asia teams like T1 and Fnatic set to feature among the 18 contenders for TI10, SEA pride is strong among this region’s Dota 2 fans.
The likes of Indonesia’s Kenny “Xepher” Deo and Singapore’s Daryl “iceiceice” Koh will be among a group of at least 10 SEA players - with the rest others hailing from the Philippines, Malaysia and Thailand - to feature in the October 7-17 event in Romania.
Everyone is familiar with League of Legends’ ever-growing popularity, especially since Riot Games released Wild Rift, the mobile version, in October 2020. Although Wild Rift is practically an infant in the esports scene, the game has been building its community and is wrapping up its annual competitive circuit with an upcoming final competition.

But also the talk of the town is the new Valorant content Riot Games recently released. It is something that has all players, pros or not (us, unfortunately), rejoicing.
