“You don’t really focus on trying to get recognized. You really just focus on your craft and focus on growing your own platform and your own brand,” he says. “I always tell people by the time a team is ready to pick you up, you don’t necessarily need the team anymo
Players are first introduced to Loba when she is barely 9 years old. At the time her name was unknown, as she was an innocent victim during Revenant’s introduction video in which he murders her parents. Now that she’s entered the fray of the Apex Games, she is no longer a little girl, but now a woman at the age of 34. It’s been 25 years since Revenant changed her life forever, and since then she’s lived a life of crime where she established herself as one of the greatest living thieves in existe
Ever since his initial inception, it seems the designers at Respawn Entertainment wanted Revenant to come across as what they described as a “synthetic shinobi.” Shinobi are stealthy covert agents that are often simply called ninjas. It doesn’t seem as though Revenant is completely robotic, and his human brain is likely what makes him synthetic. The game has a wide cast of characters for players to choose from and its neat that they added one that’s unnerving and terrifying, but at the same time exudes a certain level of c
Between his role with SoaR, his stream schedule (he puts in more than 20 hours a week), _ Apex Gibraltar Legends _ scrim matches, his regular YouTube uploads , spending time with his fiance and his day job, it’s a near-miracle he has time to talk the TheGa
Loba happens to carry around a staff with her that has the head of a wolf on it. This was a gift she received from her father, which given her name, was likely the animal he most connected with. Her parents seemed wealthy, which was likely a result of their thieving ways. Her mother seemed to be very loving as she referred to her daughter as “cachorrinha” which translates to “puppy” in Portuguese. It seems her family has always been tied to the wild canines that survived in packs but were also known to thrive as lone hunt
Still, when you’re a player known for playing a specific game, the choice of whether to experiment with new games doesn’t come easily. At the moment, _ Apex Legends _ has significantly more mainstream interest than the _ Battlefield _ series, which presents a much wider audience. However, a streamer who makes a big transition risks becoming a smaller fish in a bigger pond, which can lead to them losing subscribers and even endorsement de
Toxicity is nothing new in gaming. But I fail to understand why we should continue to allow this behavior to continue if there’s something we can do to mitigate it and reward those who don’t engage. I’ve had friends uninstall Apex Legends due to frustration with random squadma
Quite frankly, I think it’s disgusting that these publishers have the nerve to put Black Lives Matter banners on their games when most black people aren’t allowed to play them without issues. To me, it’s the modern-day equivalent of a “No Africans Allowed” sign. African gamers aren’t asking for special treatment, We just want to be treated the same as everybody e
Gaming isn’t only about games. It’s a social experience to connect people. This is even more true in the time of COVID-19. Playing online together is one of the few activities that separated families and friends can do together and is a way to bond. Right now, siblings are shooting each other from across the world in Fortnite , and friends are scoring against each other in FIFA . Sadly African players don’t get to join the party. They must put up with terrible lag and non-stop connection issues if they want to play. Not only is this a frustrating experience for them, but it kills the fun for their overseas teammates with a decent connect
A video recently emerged on Reddit showing exactly how toxic random players can be. A player downs two enemies only to get knocked before a teammate kills the third. The teammates then refuse to revive the downed player. To see it and know there are few consequences for these actions is frustrating, to say the le
The health of the scene is also contingent upon the creators who support it — many of whom are gunning for an opportunity to represent an organization like SoaR. But signing with an organization isn’t always as simple as being a strong player, though that certainly doesn’t hurt. Dazs points to iiTzTimmy as an exam
Of course, streaming is the quintessential work-from-home job. Save for a few outliers, few professional streamers and video game players are in a hurry to move to big cities that require a high cost of living. Dazs ended up in New York for a completely unrelated rea
One solution is the one that Overwatch implemented, which allows players to endorse other players at the end of each game. In that game, endorsements only reflect positive attributes, such as Sportsmanship, Good Teammate and Shot Cal
