GCDTV 3v3 Winter Brawl Series Is Taking Place In December For World Of Warcraft: Battle For Azeroth PvP Players

Just because the Arena World Championship is over for the year doesn’t mean competitive World of Warcraft esports events are.

GCDTV, an esports tournament host from Battlefy, is introducing a new PvP tournament to the fray.

GCDTV announced their Winter Brawl Series via tweet:

World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth gamers can assemble a three-person party and register for the Winter Brawl Series on GCDTV’s Battlefy address.

They are advertising two tournaments in the Tweet, the GCDTV 3v3 Winter Brawl (EU), and the GCDTV 3v3 Winter Brawl (NA).

The European series will be played out on December 7th and 8th, and the North American series takes place a week later, December 14th and 15th.

Pre-made teams can register from now until the morning of December 2nd for EU and December 9th for NA.

Both tournaments will be held on the Tournament Realm, and players will be flagged for the realm within two days of play.

The Wednesday before the event (December 4th at 6 pm CEST, and 11th 7 pm PST, respectively), GCDTV will determine the tournament bracket depending on the teams that register. “Teams will be seeded into the bracket based on the average of the three highest 3v3 Arena rated players. (Based on the Character names/servers provided when signing up.)”

If there are more than eight teams that have registered for the series, battles will commence when the bracket is released. That will be on the Friday, a day before the official event starts, at 1 pm PST for NA (EU time hasn’t been announced.) Gamers are told to wait until an admin asks them to start, as the match may or may not be streamed on Twitch.

The top eight teams will emerge out of these qualifying matches, and they will compete during their region’s Winter Brawl Series. Each event will be streamed on Twitch. EU will take place at 6 pm CEST and NA at 1 pm PST, both Saturday and Sunday.

If there are only eight teams that sign up for the tournament, then there won’t be any Friday matches, just Saturday and Sunday.

If teams want to compete in the Winter Brawl Series, every player needs to be available during all the time slots.

The prize pool is a guaranteed $2000 USD, with the chance of it increasing. First place will take home seventy percent of the pot, and second place will earn thirty percent.

To read the full list of rules, or to sign up for the event, follow the link in the tweet embedded to this post!

Battleborn Removed From Digital Stores, Servers To Close Down In January 2021

Battleborn, we hardly knew ye. Gearbox’s hero shooter was released in May 2016 to a semi-decent reception. While a lot of outlets found the game to be mediocre at best, it certainly found its player base. That was until, a little less than a month later, Overwatch was released.

Blizzard’s Overwatch, which was already in beta at the time of Battleborn’s release, made short work of its competition when it was released in full just a few weeks later. Despite the fundamental differences between the two games, Battleborn’s players dwindled once Overwatch hit the market. Now we have a little over a year before the former disappears entirely.

It’s a surreal thing to experience, but once the Battleborn servers go down in January 2021, players won’t be able to play either multiplayer or the single-player campaign. The game will effectively vanish, which is a complete bummer for anyone who’s still playing the game (or for anyone who spent any money on it at all, really).

The game has already been removed from digital stores and players won’t be able to purchase Platinum currency after February 24, 2020. Don’t worry, your existing currency will still spend just fine, and you’ll still be able to earn it in-game, but you’ll no longer be able to purchase it directly.

It’s really too bad that Overwatch all but signed Battleborn’s death certificate, because the two games really aren’t that similar, at least not similar enough to justify one wiping out the other entirely. Yes, they’re both hero shooters, but Battleborn leans into some strictly MOBA elements while Overwatch is a straight-up team-based shooter. Plenty of other games, more similar than these two, have co-existed peacefully.

Now that Battleborn is being killed off, its loyal fan base doesn’t have a lot of other options, especially since Epic killed off their own MOBA, Paragon, in April 2018. You can blame Fortnite for that one, considering that Epic pulled their resources off of Paragon to focus on their wildly-popular battle royale shooter.

Maybe the most surprising thing about this all is that the servers are staying up for another year. It’s definitely good news for Battleborn fans, as they have an entire calendar year to get the game out of their system for good, but with as small as that audience has gotten, I’m surprised they’re staying up for that long. Still, better to not look a gift horse in the mouth and simply enjoy it while everyone can.

Is Cloud-Based Gaming Capable Of Killing Traditional Consoles? Here Are The Pros And Cons Of Both Platforms

Cloud-based gaming has been gaining grounds lately with the arrival of more platforms. Could this be the end of the traditional consoles?

For years, the gaming community has been used to playing on their favorite consoles. They could have started their journey on a family computer to the latest models of PlayStation or Xbox. However, the scenario has been slowly changing lately. Several tech companies have begun introducing their respective cloud gaming services.

Last week, Google launched its brand of gaming on-demand platform. Google Stadia is pushing for the availability of video games, without the limitations of using a PC or console.

The company said in a statement that its cloud-based gaming service is about providing a “powerful” platform. This is for both gamers and the community that loves to watch available games.

In the meantime, more and more tech firms are expected to launch new brands of online gaming soon. Numerous reports have revealed that Amazon is joining the bandwagon by 2020. Meanwhile, Microsoft is still working hard on perfecting Project xCloud.

Considering the current situation, many gamers could be wondering if they should forget their consoles.

To help these gamers decide, here are the pros and cons of both platforms:

Gaming Consoles

• Affordable. Getting a gaming console would not hurt your pocket. Generally, buying one is budget-friendly, especially if purchased in bundles.

• Simple to Use. Once taken out of the box, the device is ready to use. Making it work is simple, too.

• System Upgrading. When gamers decide to own a console, they do not have to upgrade their system always. Nevertheless, this can be a disadvantage, as well. An outdated device may end up ruining the gaming experience of gamers.

Cloud-Based Gaming

• Availability in Different Platforms. When a game is exclusive to a specific console only, the gamers’ access to it becomes limited. On the contrary, an online gaming service allows them to play it on various platforms. The cloud server enables this convenient mechanism.

• Accessibility. Relative to availability, convenience is another significant advantage of cloud gaming. Gamers can access their favorite game from a smartphone and other devices, including computers.

• Limited Game Titles. At present, the list of games is not that extensive yet. In short, the options are limited, which could hamper the gamers’ chance of experiencing the fun they are expecting.

According to networking service provider Tenda India, the cloud-based gaming industry is anticipated to reach US$8 billion in 2025. This is a huge leap from the current rate of US$1 billion.

Thanks To Latest Patch, Players In Ghost Recon Breakpoint Can Customize Their Character Any Time They Want

Breakpoint is the latest game in the Ghost Recon series. Unfortunately, it was met with mixed reviews. Some portions really have their fun moments, such as the decent gun mechanics and competent progression system. Others don’t shine so brightly like the bevvy of bugs and limited enemy AI.

Ubisoft — despite receiving some backlash — hasn’t given up on the game. They have included several updates since launch and even plan on re-hauling the game completely. Somehow, even after the success of Ghost Recon Wildlands, they missed the mark with this latest installment.

They have since gone on to acknowledge this and just unveiled another patch. One of the biggest changes in update 1.0.3.1 is the ability to change your character at any point during the game. For example, you could be in the middle of a mission and decide to change the complete structure of your face.

Or, if you’re feeling bold enough and want a completely new visual appearance, you could swap your sex on a dime. The freedom to change your character on a whim gives rise to new possibilities. This new cosmetics change system comes after the community has requested more custom character options.

Ubisoft took these requests to heart and quickly implemented changes in Breakpoint, which players have seemed to enjoy thus far. There are a lot of YouTube channels showing drastic character changes midway through a mission. It instantly gives Breakpoint a unique appeal that not a lot of other tactical shooters have.

In addition to this swap-at-any-time design, players in Breakpoint also have access to more customization options. More specifically, there are many more items to build an outfit. This is a welcomed change because previously, players had to earn these outfit options through progression or they could just pay for them outright.

Lastly, this update is introducing a lot of bug fixes. Breakpoint may have started off a little rocky, but Ubisoft is still committed to the project. They want to give fans an amazing tactical shooter experience, even if that means putting more time and resources into this game.

Can this latest update save the title? That remains to be seen. It’s still refreshing to see Ubisoft take initiative and right their wrongs. Even without these updates, there are still some really great aspects of Breakpoint. The game’s main setting — Aurora — is a fun island to explore and upgrading your gun never ceases to be fun. Even better, more updates are on the way.

Kim Kardashian Hides Her Body In Latest Photos Because Of Husband Kanye West

It seems that Kim Kardashian may be on the way to a total style transformation. The beauty mogul, who is famous for her curvy forms and not being particularly shy to hide her body, has been dressing far more modestly lately than usual.

The change of heart in Kardashian’s clothing choices made many people speculate that the reason for her new style was the fact that her husband, Kanye West, does not approve of his wife being so sexy anymore.

Reportedly, the famous rapper has been going through a shift in his music tastes as well, as now he is much more into gospel music and gives greater importance to his connection with God.

Because of this spiritual enlightenment, however, Kanye West does not seem to enjoy the nakedness of his wife as much as before.

The celebrity couple had a rather tense conversation about West’s new outlook on life, and their words exchange was shown during an episode of the reality series Keeping up with the Kardashians.

The argument between Kim and Kanye erupted on the night before the MET Gala Awards in May, when Kim was getting ready for her appearance on the grand event.

West tried to explain to his wife why he is not into more revealing looks any more by saying: “Like the corset, underwear, all that vibe, I just feel like I just went through this transition of being a rapper, and lookin’ at all these girls…I didn’t realize that that was affecting my soul and spirit.”

As a result, Kardashian was not very appreciative of his opinion, because she had just finished with the complicated preparations of her attire, which included a custom-made corset.

In a recent interview, the rapper said this about his newfound faith: “A smart man has the ability to pivot to say I think something different now. I don’t think this because it’s the culture. I don’t think North should wear crop tops just because I had her wearing a slip dress when she was 2-years-old. I think and feel differently now, now that I’m Christian, now that I’m founder of a 3 billion dollar organization and married for five years.”

He added: “What I have learned from five years of marriage is it is the greatest bond. It is God bond to be able have someone that you can call on, someone you can call out; someone call you out, equally yolked, someone to complain to and someone to grow with as we grow and raise our children.”

The fashion designer added: “I started giving myself two curses a day like it’s a video game. People say God doesn’t have a scorecard, [I] gave myself a Christian scorecard. Get on the phone, ‘I’m like man they bout to lower my Christian scorecard.’”

Kanye is a brand new man.

The Perfect Excuse To Overeat Is Here, Pilgrim’s Bounty Event Is Back – World Of Warcraft: Battle For Azeroth

It’s time to put down the sword, take off the helm, and loosen off the belt, Pilgrim’s Bounty is here!

This annual Thanksgiving event allows World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth players to break bread with friends and guild members as they reminisce about the raids and PvP slaying over the last year. It is all about reflecting on the good fortune one has had.

It starts today and runs until December 2nd, so get eating!

To partake in this world holiday event, head over to a major city and sit down at the Bountiful table.

The Horde has a Bountiful table in Orgrimmar, Silvermoon City, Thunderbluff, and Undercity, and Alliance has one in Stormwind City, Darnassus, Ironforge, and Exodar.

Also, there will be a table in all minor cities with that has an innkeeper, including the neutral locations Lights Hope Chapel and Ruins of Thaurissan.
In any major city, there will be seasonal vendors and daily quest givers around the table.

Pilgrim’s Bounty is a great time to level up cooking as players can buy seasonal ingredients and fill seasonal recipes, as well as completing daily cooking quests.

Each Bountiful table will be piled with five different foods, making up the ultimate feast. Each chair will be designated to a food, The Cranberry Chair, The Sweet Potato Chair, The Stuffing Chair, The Turkey Chair, and The Pie Chair.

As a player sits at these chairs, they can decide to eat a serving of food, pass it over to someone beside them, or feast on the food, devouring five servings.

Players get in-game bonuses for interacting with the Bountiful tables. If someone eats five portions of each food at the table, they will gain The Spirit of Sharing, a buff that grants the player an extra 10 percent in reputation earned for one hour.

Gamers will also use the table to earn a few seasonal achievements. They have the chance to acquire the iconic achievement “FOOD FIGHT” by tossing their leftovers at a fellow feaster when at the Bountiful Table.

There is also the Sharing is Caring achievement that a player can earn if they pass one of every dish at the table.

Altogether, there are nine achievements for the player to complete during Pilgrim’s Bounty. If a player manages to, they will be rewarded with a turkey pet, and the illustrious “the Pilgrim” title.

There is a slew of other features that come with this event, and gamers can learn about them in-game or check the event out on WoWHead. Enjoy the feast!

Johnny Depp Settles The Six-Figure Lawsuit His Former Lawyers Filed Against Him

Johnny Depp has settled the $350,000 lawsuit filed by the law firm that used to represent him, Buckley LLP. Both Depp and the law firm have informed the court that they have come to a settlement agreement, and the case will officially be closed in December.

According to The Blast, Depp’s former lawyers at Buckley LLP sued the actor back in May after he allegedly refused to pay his $347,979.89 bill, which included a 10 percent discount. The law firm says that Depp only paid $187,717.39 and promised he would pay the balance he owed. However, Depp never paid them another dime, and Buckley LLP sued the Pirates of the Caribbean star for the unpaid balance.

A post shared by Johnny Depp (@johnnydeppofficial) on Sep 8, 2019 at 8:12am PDT

Depp hired Buckley LLP to represent him in his $30 million lawsuit against his former legal team, Bloom Hergott LLP. In that case, Depp says that his attorneys kept $30 million in commissions without a written agreement allowing them to take a percentage of his income.

Even though Depp eventually settled with Buckley LLP, he had at one point asked the court to dismiss the case because he said he didn’t owe them any more money.

“Defendants further deny that Plaintiff suffered damages as a result of the alleged wrongful conduct of Defendants, and further generally and specifically deny that Plaintiff is entitled to any remedy or relief, legal, equitable, or otherwise, in any sum whatsoever, as against Defendants,” read Depp’s court filing.

Depp argued that his former lawyers were charging him “excessive and unreasonable” rates, which is why the bill was so high. The court refused to throw the case out, and Depp eventually decided it was best to settle.

The 56-year-old actor has been dealing with a ton of legal drama in recent months, as a former crew member has sued him over an alleged assault. In that case, the judge ruled that the plaintiff was not allowed to mention Depp’s ex-wife Amber Heard or his alleged drug use.

And in yet another case,  Johnny Depp is battling Amber Heard in court after he sued her for defamation. Heard has denied all of the allegations Depp has made against her, and she has asked the court to toss the lawsuit.

Everyday Scenarios Become Epic In Party Game Skelittle, Coming To Switch

What’s the first thing a cereal toy would do upon escaping from the cereal box? That’s right; party.

And that’s exactly what you’ll do in Skelittle: A Giant Party, a new entry for the ever-growing couch crowd, and a perfect, peppy playtime for the upcoming holiday season.

Skelittle: A Giant Party focuses on “bringing people closer together” through its zany party games, and so far it seems to be dutifully committed. With 15 games available for local multiplayer, it’s managing to do a lot with such a small roster.

A key aspect of Skelittle: A Giant Party is that the game have their roots in the mundane, but as a small skeleton-like creature, they take on a whole new aspect. Mosquitos become a game of target practice, a vacuum becomes a destroyer of worlds that you have to outrun, steal kibbles and bits from a dog, throw friends into a printer, it goes on. The microscopic world becomes deceptively massive in Skelittle: A Giant Party.

Backing the game is an upbeat, bopping soundtrack of fusion, funk, and rock, fitting perfectly into the comedic, kooky world of Skelittle: A Giant Party.

Perhaps the greatest draw is something not seen in a party game until now; a sandbox mode. Much like familiar builder games, you’re able to construct games of your own making to play. Build mazes, traps, any and all manner of maps to wreak havoc, test your skills, and potentially damage long-lasting relationships. For added incentive, as you progress through the game, you unlock more parts to use in sandbox mode.

Bubble Studios, the minds behind the game, are an indie studio that takes ‘involvement’ to new levels. They want involvement from the game community to such a degree they have a Discord devoted to feedback and involvement. When the game was in early access prior to its release in November 2018, they sought out testers and feedback from the community, and we’re transparent to a degree most AAA developers aren’t. Going further with that, Bubble Studios has also promised regular content updates, roughly two weeks with a major update every months.

The success and fervor has paid off, as Skelittle: A Giant Party leaves the tower and makes way for the Nintendo Switch, which will see a release date November 28th, 2019.

Melania Trump Is Gorgeous In Dolce & Gabbana As White House Recieves Christmas Tree

First Lady Melania Trump looked gorgeous in Dolce & Gabbana as she welcomed the Christmas tree to the White House. She ushered the holiday season in with style while wearing a black shirt and skinny jeans, paired with a long, floral Dolce and Gabbana coat. FLOTUS wore a pair of black, Christian Louboutin suede boots with the ensemble and she looked stylish, chic, and elegant. She walked alongside the horse-drawn carriage that carried the tree and then posed for photos before joining her husband, President Donald Trump, in honoring the hero dog Conan who was injured during combat.

One reporter spoke to President Trump and First Lady Melania to have them weigh in on some recent issues. The reporter asked President Trump the following question.

“Do you have confidence in Mick Mulvaney, Mr. President?”

President Trump replied, “Yes, I do.”

Next, the reporter spoke to First Lady Melania and asked her about a pet for her son Barron.

“Melania, do you want to adopt the dog for Barron?” he asked the 49-year-old former model.

To that question, First Lady Melania Trump answered with a resounding, “No.”

You may see the full video of First Lady Melania Trump receiving the Christmas tree to the White House in the video player below.

The First Lady chose the best colors in her Dolce & Gabbana jacket as it was the perfect complement for the green and reds featured in the carriage. Melania wore her long brown locks parted down the middle with a flip on each side as her hair flowed past her shoulders.

Her makeup was elegant and Melania beamed a bright smile that lit up her face as she greeted the people. Though Melania wants to ensure that the message of Christmas extends from the White House to the nation, she’s making it clear that regardless of how much a hero Conan is, she has no intention of adopting the dog as a pet for 13-year-old Barron Trump.

What do you think of First Lady Melania Trump’s outfit? Are you looking forward to seeing how she will decorate the White House this year?

KUWK: Kim Kardashian Gushes Over BFF La La Anthony’s Rap Debut After Amazing Surprise Performance At The AMAs 

La La Anthony made a surprise appearance at the American Music Awards and she seemingly impressed everyone with her performance, including none other than Kim Kardashian! The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star took to her favorite online platform to gush over La La’s great rapping skills, showing her close friend a lot of love and support following the performance.

Furthermore, after the show wrapped up, the BFFs met up and then shared super cute clips featuring the two of them.

Unfortunately, Kim was unable to attend the AMAs since she just had to be at her hubby, Kanye West’s first opera show instead but despite this, she still made sure to support La La’s rap debut.

After the whole thing was over, she spent time with the Power actress and celebrated the performance at her side.

In a clip she posted on IG stories, Kim says: ‘So after the opera, I am here with rapper, queen rapper La La. You guys, I am into this. I’m going to play what happened at the AMAs tonight on my stories right now.’

As she kept updating her followers on the whole thing, La La proceeded to lean her head on Kim’s shoulder. So cute!

Another video had Kim playfully exposing La La by saying that before the show, she needed to calm her nerves by giving her BFF a pep talk!

‘Ok so, I knew that she had this in her but I know that La La was so nervous like seriously nervous that I had to talk to her and hype her up. So, to see what I saw, what I just posted, you’re so amazing. I am so proud of you, you did so good, you were amazing. How amazing was La La? The real deal, seriously, the real deal,’ she continued to rave about her friend.
