I am HAPPY to announce the team I will be supporting for the upcoming COD League season, because I love my boy Hecz and I will support him no matter what. Hailing the woods of Chicago… https://twitter.com/CODLeague/status/1190005171666817024?s=20 It’s sort of a generic branding, but also something I enjoy. It’s not too much, and it’s aggressiveContinueContinue reading “Be the Hunter, not the Hunted.”

Rock the ROKKR
Recently announced and proudly representing the frozen state of Minnesota…. https://twitter.com/ROKKR/status/1189190178184646657?s=20 I’ll be honest, I have NO clue what ROKKR is or what it’s even supposed to be, but it sounds sick as hell. The branding is pretty nifty too. I think it’s like supposed to be a viking sort of thing, which lines upContinueContinue reading “Rock the ROKKR”
Honestly Blizzard, respect is earned, as is forgiveness.
Hey all, this is gonna be a pretty short article, not going to lie. There isn’t much to say on this topic anymore, but there is something to say when someone owns up to their mistakes. Just about an hour and a half ago, BlizzCon 2019 opened up with their opening ceremony. For anyone whoContinueContinue reading “Honestly Blizzard, respect is earned, as is forgiveness.”

Soooooooooooooo Ultra
Let’s be honest, it’s one thing to announce your brand and roster. It’s a WHOLE other thing to have an entire EVENT dedicated to it, where the general public could be there even to witness the unveiling. For that matter, Toronto went above and BEYOND to announce their team, which is……. https://twitter.com/CODLeague/status/1187547657381638144?s=20 The Toronto UltraContinueContinue reading “Soooooooooooooo Ultra”

Goodbye Optic Gaming. Hello OGLA!
With the end of Black Ops 4, the end of Optic Gaming as we know it came about. With Hecz out and the Greenwall collapsing, the hopes for Optic to maintain it’s identity disappeared. It genuinely became a meme for the competitive scene, Immortals Optic being the butt of many jokes. Well, to make mattersContinueContinue reading “Goodbye Optic Gaming. Hello OGLA!”

Big big big big BIG flame emoji. https://twitter.com/CODLeague/status/1181919933271171077?s=20 The announcements so far for the COD League have been quite solid so far.

Blizzard’s self-induced and deserved nightmare
If anyone has paid any remote attention to the gaming news recently, they’ve almost certainly encountered the boycott against Activision Blizzard that’s going on right now. They are in the midst of a PR NIGHTMARE because of recent actions they’ve taken against a Hearthstone pro from Hong Kong.
