Peruvian Dota 2 player Moises "Genek" Santillan has been fired from Infinity, a Costa Rican multi-gaming esports organization.

According to Hyprgame sources, former Dota 2 player for Team Secret Daryl "iceiceice" Koh is ready to join Malaysian Team SMG.

Michael "shroud" Grzesiek has always been a legend in the FPS community. Known for his top-tier mechanics, thousands on thousands of people tune into his stream to see just how he is so amazing at every game he touches. However, most of the younger community has never seen Shroud play competitively as he stepped away from the scene in August of 2017 to go full-time with streaming, ending a four-year career in the game. But now the legend himself is back, this time in VALORANT for Sentinels in the LCQ.

After three members left ECSTATIC, the Danish organization has re-assembled the roster, recruiting Tobias "kraghen" Kragh Jensen, Jonas "Queenix" Dideriksen, and Casper "Cabbi" Jensen.

To describe The Guard’s performance in the 2022 North American VCT Challengers 2 season, only one word comes to mind: underwhelming. Despite initially shining in Challengers 1 as NA’s standout team by becoming regional champions and appearing in Masters: Reykjavik, the team couldn’t match the same level of success as they finished with a 1-4 record in the group stage to miss out on reaching playoffs entirely.

Following a quintuple overtime struggle that served as a fitting cap to a riveting and equally grueling series, FaZe Clan came out on top over Evil Geniuses in the 2022 North American Last Chance Qualifier. As a result, EG was thrown into the lower bracket of the LCQ playoff format. That meant should the Evil Crew lose another series, they would be eliminated from qualifying for Champions. The stakes can’t get any higher than what EG and the rest of the field have already dealt with.

After a disappointing start this VCT Season, Team Secret improved their showings in the second half of 2022, where they nearly qualified for Masters Copenhagen. But when that failed, they set their sights on the Asia-Pacific LCQ as the Philippines’ sole representative.

4 Zoomers shook the North American Dota scene when they announced they were getting signed by Nouns before the 2022 Dota Pro Circuit Summer Tour. Having come to an agreement with an organization whose roots resided in NFTs and experimental projects, aspects that lie far outside the scope of esports, Nouns Esports not only grabbed the attention of fans and but sparked a level of intrigue as well over how they would fare under their new banner.

In the second part of BLIX.GG’s interview with Nicolas “Gunnar” Lopez, he explains how he managed to resolve his mental issues before the Summer Tour, his view on the scrutiny revolving around 4 Zoomers’ string of disappointing results before joining Nouns, how his team was close to disbanding after TI10, and the current state of North American Dota.

Norwegian esports organization Apeks signs polish legend Jakub "kuben" Gurczyński as their new head coach. Pål "Polly" Kammen moves to the assistant coach position.
