 Gaming in terms has been such an insane industry over the years from early 2013 when the ESL launched one of the biggest leagues and put esports on the map and since then a series of partnership and legal l issues have been firing up due to the cash grab of an industry. the latest and current has to be the apple vs epic games. Apple recently banned the popular esports game "fortnite" from the app store as well as google banning it from the play store due to epic games breaking the in app purchases contract in which epic is to pay 30% of all in app purchases to apple and google. epic games thought this was unfair as they created a system in which you can purchase in app items without using apple pay or google pay to block the 30 % commission. Apple responded by removing the game from their store. epic has replied to this action by suing apple. The judge rules the removal of "fortnite" from the apple store but grants access to all unreal engine game. The unreal engin

Final Standings of COC Season 2

  Still wondering why a team named On God should perform poorly in tdm, who knows maybe God wasn't on their side. Nevertheless it was fast paced, it was full of action and now it has been concluded successfully with Dark side not ashamed of grabbing 80 camping points sorry place points to take the number one spot, purge eSports finishing second with just 11 points difference, I guess having changed their name from T3rdPartyPurge to Purge eSports finally paid off. Lxg eSports had their fair share of problems this month but that didn't stop them from performing well, Sidizens, Lxg and Dream team finishing 3rd, 4th and 5th respectively. This tournament also proves that hosting an eSports tournament doesn't give you any advantage because if it did Unsullied army would have finished top.

Stop confusing Ping and VPN

Firstly, ping is calculated in milliseconds (ms) which is 0.001 seconds.  Secondly, ping is simply amount of time needed for a node computer(smartphone) to send a message to the host computer(server), request and get a response, which in the case of PUBG Mobile the message will be shooting an enemy on the stomach with akm, then it sends that message to the server and the server sends back -40hp. So don't get confused, no VPN can really reduce your ping. Because what VPN does is to change or hide your IP address. The only way a VPN will give you reduced ping is only if the VPN has some sort of wings that'll take you closer to Europe server. So Basically the closer to the server you are the lesser ping you get. In other words( for not so learned people) the lesser time it takes for information to transmit. In other other words lol(for learned people), ping is perfectly dependent on proximity to the server therefore increase in ping is directly proportional to increase in dis
