Gschwind and the other casters then talked about Azure Flame Hanzo's appearance, noting that he has an anime-like hair style and his color scheme is reminiscent of Overwatch League team Dallas Fuel. 



"This is one of the things that you can expect," Gschwind continued. "Of course, we don't know how or when all of the crowdfunding will start and happen." After asking viewers to follow the OW_Esports account on X, she emphasized that the Overwatch 2 Dallas Major will be the first OWCS LAN event.

Blizzard has temporarily disabled mythic skins in Overwatch 2. According to an official post, the Overwatch 2 team is investigating an issue related to the midseason patch that came out on May 14.

Why is my mythic skin gone in Overwatch 2?



Mythic skins are temporarily disabled in Overwatch 2. When you queue into a match and enter the screen for hero selection, you may notice that your mythic skin is not listed there. Instead, you may find your hero with their default Overwatch 2 skin.

"We are temporarily disabling all Mythic Skins as we investigate an issue discovered in today’s patch that is leading to crashes or disconnections from various matches when those skins are equipped," Blizzard explained. "If you currently have any Mythic Skins equipped, you may find your heroes reverted to the default Overwatch 2 skin in your next game."

In addition to the mythic skins being temporarily removed from the game, the Mythic Shop is gone as well. "We have also disabled the Mythic Shop until we can resolve this issue," Blizzard stated.

Blacklist International members are allegedly in the midst of a bizarre conflict. The team's carry player, Kim "Gabbi" Santos, just announced his departure from Blacklist International on his Kick livestream. He revealed that someone in the team had punched him in the face and some of the community believed the person to be midalner Abed "Abed" Yusop. 



A Reddit user summarized the story in a post on the Dota 2 sub-Reddit. Apparently, Gabbi had trashtalked Abed and exposed a sensitive information about him in a pub match. This likely led to Abed's rage and he proceeded to punch Gabbi, who would leave the organization due to the conflict.



A pub match trashtalk between Gabbi and Abed leads to this conflict



The entire feud likely began a couple of days ago in a Dota 2 pub match where Gabbi was on the opposite team from his teammate, Abed. This match was also livestreamed on Gabbi's official Twitch channel. In the game, there was a moment when Gabbi's Timbersaw managed to deny himself to neutral creeps, saving himself from Abed's Templar Assassin. 



Right after, Gabbi all-chatted question marks and the words "L BUNGAL" which is Tagalog for "L TOOTHLESS". Abed responded with "huh?" and Gabbi was visibly entertained with the situation.











You can find the moment in the video below at the 9:23 minute mark.









Abed allegedly punched Gabbi, Gabbi leaves Blacklist



In a recent Kick livestream, Gabbi revealed a shocking story that happened at his bootcamp. According to Reddit user Ptts, Gabbi elaborated that he was watching an NBA (National Basketball Association) game while waiting to do content for Blacklist International. 



A summarized translation of Gabbi's statement via Reddit



Out of the blue, someone punched him on the side of his face. He initially thought that it was a playful punch but it didn't stop. Although he didn't reveal who confronted him, his Kick stream title hinted at Abed. 



The stream title reads "NASA LOOB ANG KULO" which

Team Liquid's head Coach Jake "Spawn" Tiberi took the time after a 3-1 loss to T1 at MSI 2024 to talk about the series, his roster, and what comes next for the LCS champions. 



North American's League Champion Series (LCS) Champions Team Liquid fell in a brutal 3-1 series to South Korea's League of Legends Champions Korea number two seed T1. Despite one very close game and a nail-biting win, it wasn't enough to keep NA in the running. Spawn talked with esports.gg after the match about the bitter disappointment of the loss, his effusive pride in AD carry Sean "Yeon" Sung, and where Team Liquid will go from here.



Esports.gg: How are you and the team feeling coming off of your series against T1 today?



Jake "Spawn" Tiberi: "Obviously disappointed. We felt like were right there with them today. We feel like game one they got the better of us, especially with how they attacked mid lane in the lane swaps. Game two and three, we feel like we should have won game two and we did win game three. Game four we had a really solid early game and a significant lead in jungle. I think that’s a game that if we play it 10 times, we convert more than half of them. So, you know, it’s a disappointing result to go down like that but I’m very proud of the team that showed up today and to be the head coach of those five players that went out there and gave it their all."



Touching on the heavy lane swap focus we saw in this series, how do you think the lane swap meta is evolving as the tournament goes on, and how do unique picks like Samira, Rek'Sai, G2's Ivern, etc, fit into this meta?



"The meta every tournament continues to evolve, and I think that the lane swap meta is very unique because it means if you index too hard into early laning phase that you can get punished quite heavily. I think that picks like Ivern, Rek’Sai, Samira, Ziggs, and Lillia all have a really interesting place in the meta right now, and all have unique strengths that, if you capitalize on them

TL Spawn opens up: "[Yeon] is like my little brother... I'm so happy for him"

Professional players were left dismayed by the apparent introduction of an ALGS draft system ahead of the next split of the ALGS. 



The change, which was first mooted before the Split 1 Playoffs, will see a huge overhaul to how teams and players land on the map. Teams will now have to pick a landing spot in a draft system. Only one team can land at each location.



The ALGS draft system will end both contesting for a spot, and having the same spot every week. Now, teams will be forced to play from (in theory) every or any spot on the map.






ImperialHal on ALGS draft system: "probably the worst change ever made in Apex history"



ImperialHal, who has recently formed a super team with Genburten and Zer0, was one of the first to speak out against the changes.




ALGS has just forced us to play on a random draft POI system in a competitive lobby , probably the worst change ever made in Apex history. #SaveApexComp For context not a single Comp Player was in favor of this and they still pushed it in. Love giving feedback!— ImperialHal (@ImperialHal) May 15, 2024




He claims that the ALGS draft system is "probably the worst change ever made in Apex history" and adds that the ALGS has not listened to player feedback. 



He was not alone in sharing his frustration. Zachmazer, who was part of an E8 team that contested throughout Match Point finals, also is against the system.




ALGS let us know today they hate us 🙁— E8 Zachmazer (@zachmazer) May 15, 2024




Speaking to esports.gg before the event in Los Angeles, he expressed that he strongly opposed the idea.



"I think if they introduce the system how they originally proposed to, I think it would probably kill competitive overnight. You'd see a lot of people retiring and they'd get a lot of hate from the pro community and their communities behind them."



Also adding, "It seems like they are really rushing it. That is never good when you're changing the game dramatically and you're rushing."

Team Spirit's superstar Danil "donk" Kryshkovets has quickly become one of the best Counter-Strike players in the world after the switch from CS:GO to CS2 in 2023, and part of that is due to his practice routine.



Though donk is obviously a generational talent, he also put over 14,000 hours into CS:GO and CS2, according to his Steam profile. If you want to try getting as good as donk in CS2, here's what the 17-year-old does almost every day.






How donk practices in CS2




"Basically I wake up, go to eat, and have training sessions with my team," donk said in an interview with esports.gg on May 12. "After that we have theory sessions as we're trying to improve our tactics and strats. After the team practice is done I can play for myself and I play up to seven games a day excluding team practice. If I believe that I need to do more, I go and play some more."
Donk shares his practice routine as professional CS2 player



Shockingly, donk doesn't play a lot of deathmatch, a game mode that many professionals and casuals play to sharpen their aim or warm up before matches. Donk only plays DM when he feels the need for it after his usual practice routine in CS2. The superstar said in the past that DM offers too much "unrealistic" aim duels and scenarios.

While many CS2 fans think donk is the best player in the world at the moment, the Spirit youngster prefers not to think about it and leave it for other people to decide it.



"Right now I can't consider myself the best player in CS2 and I believe everyone will know who is the best player at the end of the year," donk told esports.gg. "We have a lot of tournaments coming up and it's up to others to decide who is the best player, not me."



Donk and Spirit are due to play an official match once again after a nearly two-month hiatus from tournaments. They'll play their first match in the $500,000 LAN

Here's the rundown of the FTG roster for this month's start of the OWCS.


Hwang "Belosrea" Gyu-tae: Last seen on the Philadelphia Fusion's 2022 playoff run.

Shin "BERNAR" Se-won: Former off-tank specialist, last played for the Houston Outlaws 2023 playoff run as a sub for Fearless.

Kim "AlphaYi" Jun: Played for the Washington Justice and Hongzhou Spark.

Lim "Flora" Young-woo: Yet another ex-Justice player, was also on the NYXL.

Oh "FiNN" Se-jin: A former O2 Blast member, last seen playing for the San Francisco Shock.

Park "Viol2t" Min-ki: Former standout for the Shock and Outlaws, one of the best OWL supports.

Outside of Viol2t it appears FTG sports a number of strong, if not fully proven players. The team will be playing out of South Korea and that already makes their path to success a rough one. Will the combination of a Houston Outlaws reunion with Neko, BERNAR, and Viol2t be enough? We'll see when FTG and others tackle the OWCS, starting this month.

We're a month out from the beginning of the Overwatch Champions Series, so it must be time for roster reveals. It's safe to assume that a number of Overwatch League veterans will end up in the mix, one way or another. However, we've gotten one of our first official roster reveals to confirm a team made of up OWL hitters. Look out OWCS, here comes FTG.

FTG (From The Gamer) sports a number of well-known names just from its front office. The coaching staff consists of Kim "Yaki" Jun-ki, former Florida Mayhem and Team Runaway standout, as well as head coach Park "Neko" Se-hyeon, last seen leading the Houston Outlaws to Grand Finals 2023.



Those are two big names leading FTG into the OWCS. But who is taking the field? Let's look at the roster.
