Head coach Jordan "Gunba" Graham is retiring from Overwatch 2 esports, he announced on Wednesday, April 24. 



The Australian is most known for winning OWL coach of the year in 2023 while he was a part of Florida Mayhem's roster. "Competing no longer makes sense given lack of financial incentives, absurd hours, and the even worse than expected 2024 ecosystem," Gunba said about his decision to quit Overwatch 2 esports. "I will continue with the guys over the next few days as they qualify for Dallas."



While Gunba didn't mention specifically what he'll do next in life, he mentioned a transition to the "corporate world," which will allow him to work from 9 to 5.

Gunba's career in Overwatch esports



Gunba started competing in Overwatch esports in 2016 initially as a player before making the transition to assistant coach in 2018 under the Los Angeles Valiant banner. 



He was also an assistant coach for Boston Uprising in the years that followed, until becoming Florida Mayhem's head coach in October 2021. Gunba helped the squad to win the OWL grand finals in 2023 and got the coach of the year award.



Overwatch 2 community reacts to Gunba's retirement



Although Gunba's decision to retire from Overwatch 2 esports came as a surprise to many in the community as he had just joined ENCE on March 21, other Overwatch 2 personalities such as M80's head coach Blake "Gator" Scott and Florida Mayhem's former general manager Albert "yeHHH" Yeh echoed his sentiments.

PlayStation's newest action-adventure game, Stellar Blade, launched on April 26 to a warm reception from critics. Many have praised Stellar Blade's story, combat system, and more, but some fans feel misled by unexpected outfit censorship. The developers released a day one patch, significantly changing multiple in-game outfits and more, much to the dismay of those who purchased the game. As a result, believers in the game have begun a campaign to #FreeStellarBlade.



Stellar Blade adds outfit censorship in the day-one patch




「Stellar Blade」 offers the same uncensored version in all countries, including the Japanese version.ステラブレードは、日本版を含むすべての国で検閲されていない同じバージョンを提供しています。#StellarBlade #PS5 #Uncensored pic.twitter.com/dJojSgZH9y— StellarBlade (@StellarBlade) April 21, 2024




On April 21, the official Stellar Blade account on 'X' released a statement regarding the game's censorship status. The day-one patch refuted that claim despite the studio alleging that all countries will receive the same uncensored version. Players quickly noticed the censorship of various outfits, including the bunny outfit, that looked noticeably different in the Stellar Blade trailers.

Anyone who preloaded the game on day one of release would have seen the version that ShiftUp presumably intended to release. Unfortunately, for currently unclear reasons, outfits like the one above now appear slightly altered. Additionally, the update addressed offensive graffiti found in-game.

Players have since taken to social media with the hashtag #FreeStellarBlade, and a petition exists for those who want the changes reverted. The petition has garnered over 6,000 signatures, and the game's director has commented on the outrage.

Xm is one of the rising stars of Xtreme Gaming (XG), the Chinese team that took 1st place at Elite League in March. 



Interestingly, in the space of just a few months in 2024, the mid-laner has surpassed his total prize winnings from 2017 to 2023, leading to him becoming a beloved meme. We sat down with Guo "Xm" Hongcheng at ESL One Birmingham to reflect on the event and also to pick his brains about Viper, the best-mid laners in the world and more importantly - what does he think about his Chinese prize winnings meme?



This interview was conducted in Chinese and translated to English by the interviewer.



XG's Xm on ESL One Birmingham top 8 finish



esports.gg: First, congratulations on winning Elite League! The team seemed a bit slow to start in the ESL One Birmingham. What do you think was the reason for yesterday's loss? What's the mood in the team?



XG Xm: We just won the championship, so perhaps we were a bit loose, leading to a not-good performance on the first day. Also, the current patch has been around for a long time, and we wanted to try out some new things, but it didn't work out. The team vibe has always been good, everyone is generally positive. Later on we will return to China for a rest, then prepare for the next tournament.

It's been four years since you last teamed up with Ame. Do you notice any of his differences or changes compared to before?



XG Xm: To be honest, my memory of four years ago isn't very clear. But now, he seems to make more decisions in the game and has become more mature than before. It feels like more of a personality change.

Stellar Blade’s wide selection of outfits has players seeking to unlock them all. While the Bunny outfit has emerged as an early favorite, the Black Pearl Nano Suit is gaining steam. This guide explains how you can unlock this outfit and add it to your collection.



How do I unlock the Black Pearl Nano Suit?



Credit: Iforgetwhat8wuzfor on Reddit



Those looking to unlock the Black Pearl Nano Suit must acquire all 49 collectible cans in the game. These cans of various beverages become more prominent once you have met with Adam and Lily and reached Xion. 



As you navigate through the somewhat desolate city, you will stumble across various vending machines. Some of these dispense drinks which you can acquire by interacting with the machine. After it doesn't work the usual way, Eve will kick it and a beverage will fall out. These are your key to the Black Pearl Nano Suit.






Where can I find cans in Stellar Blade?

























Vending machines containing cans exist in almost every significant area in the game. For example, we found several in Xion and another shortly after in the Wastelands. 



Although we don't have a complete list of the locations yet, your best and easiest place to begin is in Xion. From there, you will be able to identify each machine and add another can to your collection. The best part is you can fast travel to revisit areas you may have missed.



Here is a list of the canned drinks we have found so far. Remember, you need all 49 to receive the Black Pearl Nano Suit:




The Machinetta Caramel Macchiato



Behemoth Red



The Machinetta Americano



Mountain Sparkle Mont Blanc



GrainT Corn




Players have enjoyed watching Eve pose with each can, and it all works toward unlocking this highly sought-after outfit. We will update this article with precise locations, so be sure to check back for more details.

FaZe Clan is "rebooting" with another round of layoffs and updates to its esports teams. The command line terminal-themed video announcement included lists of all members being kept and cut by the organization.



This news from FaZe follows plummeting stock prices, multiple rounds of layoffs, and recent exits from VALORANT and Rocket League esports. The "reboot" seems to be part of an attempt to turn things around under new ownership.



Who made the cut at FaZe Clan?

The Quick Weapon Draw feature in Fortnite has been a big hit for controller competitors since it was first released years ago. But now, it seems like many are finding that the recent update to the game might have renewed the feature.



So did Fortnite get rid of Quick Weapon Draw?



Is Quick Weapon Draw still in Fortnite?



The big question many people are asking is whether or not the Quick Weapon Draw feature is still in Fortnite. 



While the update seems to have removed the option for controller players, it seems like this was a mistake on Epic's end. Luckily, many have confirmed on Reddit and Twitter that they had contacted Epic Support and Quick Weapon Draw is being added back into the game as soon as possible. 



Hopefully, we see the feature added back into the game by the end of the day, but it could take a little longer than some may hope for. 



What is Quick Weapon Draw?



Curious as to what Quick Weapon Draw in Fortnite is? Well, if you are a keyboard and mouse player, then this is something you are already accustomed to. For the longest time, controller players didn't have the luxury of pulling out whatever weapon or item they wanted on command. 



Originally, only keyboard and mouse players were able to press a button and immediately have a shotgun or AR. With controller, you would have to shuffle through items using L and R. Obviously, this put controller players at a huge disadvantage.







Eventually, Fortnite released the Quick Weapon Draw feature for controller players. What this feature does it allow players to bind specific weapon slots to specific weapons. Want to pull out your shotgun immediately? Press X. Want to pull out an AR on command? Press Y. 



You get the picture.



With this being out of the game again, many are having to adjust back to the old days while they wait for the feature to get added back. Hopefully, Fortnite will fix it sooner than later.

Did Fortnite remove Quick Weapon Draw? ANSWERED

Stellar Blade is gathering a lot of attention; Is it the blade, the combat animations, the inspiration model, or the different outfits for protagonist Eve? If you're here for the latter, keep reading, because we captured all the styles they showed on the different trailers, and summed some others that were leaked in the last days.



The Stellar Blade bunny outfit is becoming a community favorite



How many Stellar Blade outfits will be available?



During an early interview with PushSquare, the developers made clear that Stellar Blade will feature 30 different outfits at launch, with many accessories like earrings, glasses or different hairstyles to add some customization. 



The number of outfits later increased to 34 with the announcement on April 25, that Stellar Blade will launch with New Game+. The developers have also shared outfits released in the future would all be free, with the exception of crossover content with other franchises. 






All Stellar Blade outfits for EVE



Many game reviewers were able to share media captured via review copies of the game pre-launch, including additional Stellar Blade outfits and their descriptions. This was made the case for Wciśnij Start, who introduced some fresh new suits.  Here's the updated list of all the Stellar Blade outfits. If you thought the Stellar Blade Skin Suit would standalone in grabbing attention, you will be happily surprised.

Fans have already discovered their new favorite outfit, the Bunny costume, following the success of the Skin Suit. While it may not be as revealing as that one, it certainly boasts a playful charm. Allegedly, the suit has been recently patched to make it less revealing, though no changes have been implemented as of yet.

Stellar Blade’s skill tree is one of its most unique features. Players can build out their abilities, attacks, and more using it, but the useful Double Jump doesn't arrive until later in the game. This guide explains how you can get the double jump in Stellar Blade and how to use it.



How do I get the Double Jump in Stellar Blade?







The Double Jump ability arrives a decent way through the game after rescuing Lilly from her crashed pod. Eve travels with Adam and Lily to Xion, humanity's last surviving city. This part of the game offers a much-needed break from combat. 



However, after setting out on a few more missions and returning. Lily will adjust your Exo suit during the Light of Hope questline. After doing so, Eve instantly gains the Double Jump ability.






How do I perform a double jump?




here’s the stellar blade double jump pic.twitter.com/mgt03FK0Kp— Gene Park (@GenePark) April 26, 2024




Thankfully, the Double Jump is one of the easier abilities to master in Stellar Blade. All you have to do is press the 'X' button twice in rapid succession. If done correctly, Eve will jump once followed by another flip to complete the animation.



This skill is useful during your Stellar Blade journey. During our experience, a single jump with a dash sometimes isn't enough to get over those wide gaps or wall-running sequences. The Double Jump makes it much easier to navigate the tough terrain, ensuring you won't have to return back to a camp. 



(Screenshot via esports.gg)



However, while useful for platforming, you won't rely on the Double Jump much in combat. It's not practical to use in that setting and can occasionally hinder your ability to fight enemies, especially the big boss battles.

<p>Have you been wondering why you've been seeing so much Ramattra in your games? Well, it's because he's gotten quite a bit stronger in the Overwatch 2 April Fools' game mode. In the developer's words, "Ramattra wasn’t suffering enough so we’ve increased his suffering so that when he causes suffering his enemies will suffer as much as he has suffered." His ultimate has been moved to a basic ability, but it's just as strong, if not stronger. Meanwhile, his Nemesis form has shifted to his ultimate ability. </p>

<p>Both sniping queens Widowmaker and Ana have had some fun changes in the April Fools' update. Ana's sleep dart makes enemies hit by the dart float up into the air slowly as they sleep. On the other hand, Widowmaker gets three charges of her grappling hook. The extra mobility does wonders for her. Especially since critical hits with her secondary fire grants an extra grappling hook charge. The developers couldn't have said it better: "Hooks + Headshots = Parkour."</p>

<p>The C-tier heroes are the remainder of the heroes that feel different compared to their typical play, but are still fun.

<p>A prime example is Wrecking Ball, who has been blessed by the crab gods. He gains bonus damage and movement speed for walking or shooting sideways. So it's nothing revolutionary, but it's still fun. The developer note makes up for this entirely: "We're preparing to retcon Wrecking Ball into a crab. Hope these changes are sufficiently immersive." </p>

<p>Last is the D-tier. This small group of six heroes have had the least fun changes in the Overwatch 2 April Fools update. The changes just haven't made an impact in their gameplay. They feel either worse or just that you are playing the same hero prior to the update. It's unfortunate, but not every April Fools' Day hero can be amazing. </p>

<p>The limited-time event lasts until April 8. Until then, be sure to jump into the chaos, test out different heroes, and have a blast. </p>

<p>Overwatch 2's April Fools' Day event is well underway. Each hero has received changes to their kit, whether that be reworks, an extra ability, or a numbers change. So, after playing Overwatch 2 during the April Fools' Day changes, we've compiled a tier list of the most fun heroes to play. The April Fools' event in Overwatch 2 is here until April 8, so be sure to capitalize on the chaos and have a great time. Additionally, and for the record, this list is entirely subjective.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-overwatch-2-april-fools-day-heroes-s-tier">Overwatch 2 April Fools' Day heroes: S-tier </h2>



<ol>
<li>Mauga </li>



<li>Torbjorn </li>



<li>Brigitte</li>



<li>Ramattra</li>



<li>Junker Queen </li>
</ol>



<p>The S-tier heroes are the most fun to play in the Overwatch April Fools' event. For these heroes, there's been a major change that makes the hero so much fun to play. Whether there are changes to their model, a core mechanic or even just a fun interaction. The S-tier heroes are a must-try during the April Fools' Overwatch 2 event. </p>



<p>Have you been wondering why you've been seeing so much Ramattra in your games? Well, it's because he's gotten quite a bit stronger in the Overwatch 2 April Fools' game mode. In the developer's words, "Ramattra wasn’t suffering enough so we’ve increased his suffering so that when he causes suffering his enemies will suffer as much as he has suffered." His ultimate has been moved to a basic ability, but it's just as strong, if not stronger. Meanwhile, his Nemesis form has shifted to his ultimate ability. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-overwatch-2-april-fools-event-most-fun-heroes-a-tier">Overwatch 2 April Fools' event most fun heroes: A-tier </h2>



<ol>
<li>Mei </li>



<li>Soldier: 76</li>



<li>Ashe </li>



<li>Symmetra </li>



<li>Bastion </li>



<li>Lifeweaver </li>



<li>Reinhardt </li>



<li>Kiriko </li>



<li>Lucio</li>
</ol>



<p>Next up are the A-tier heroes. This group of heroes have some fun changes dedicated to them, and all for the better. Each of these heroes are fun to play during the Overwatch 2 April Fools' event. Whether they are more fun within their role or whether you can mess with your opponents and have a good time. </p>



<p>A notable mention within this tier is Mei. She's gotten even more slippery now with the Overwatch 2 April Fools' changes. She can now press jump while in mid air to create a pillar of ice to get out of sticky situations. The icing on top is the developer's request alongside these changes: "Definitely do not use this to get to spots on the map you’re not supposed to get to, thanks."</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-overwatch-2-april-fools-mode-b-tier">Overwatch 2 April Fools' mode: B-tier </h2>



<ol>
<li>Sojourn </li>



<li>Sombra </li>



<li>Cassidy </li>



<li>Echo </li>



<li>Widowmaker </li>



<li>Ana </li>



<li>Doomfist</li>



<li>Zenyatta </li>



<li>Mercy </li>



<li>Illari</li>
</ol>



<p>The B-tier list is for heroes that are fun to play in the Overwatch 2 April Fools update, but still feel somewhat grounded in balance. In other words, they don't feel super overpowered. However, they've still been tweaked to a point where they are still pretty fun. </p>



<p>Both sniping queens Widowmaker and Ana have had some fun changes in the April Fools' update. Ana's sleep dart makes enemies hit by the dart float up into the air slowly as they sleep. On the other hand, Widowmaker gets three charges of her grappling hook. The extra mobility does wonders for her. Especially since critical hits with her secondary fire grants an extra grappling hook charge. The developers couldn't have said it better: "Hooks + Headshots = Parkour."</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-overwatch-2-april-fools-event-most-fun-heroes-c-tier">Overwatch 2 April Fools' event most fun heroes: C-tier </h2>



<ol>
<li>Moira </li>



<li>Hanzo </li>



<li>Pharah </li>



<li>Wrecking Ball </li>



<li>Baptiste </li>



<li>D.va </li>



<li>Orisa </li>



<li>Sigma </li>



<li>Winston </li>
</ol>



<p>The C-tier heroes are the remainder of the heroes that feel different compared to their typical play, but are still fun. Although the changes for the C-tier heroes are good and fun, they aren't anything to write home about. The C-tier heroes here typically have some damage buff to their abilities or a minor new movement technique. </p>



<p>A prime example is Wrecking Ball, who has been blessed by the crab gods. He gains bonus damage and movement speed for walking or shooting sideways. So it's nothing revolutionary, but it's still fun. The developer note makes up for this entirely: "We're preparing to retcon Wrecking Ball into a crab. Hope these changes are sufficiently immersive." </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-overwatch-2-april-fools-mode-d-tier">Overwatch 2 April Fools' mode: D-tier </h2>



<ol>
<li>Junkrat </li>



<li>Genji </li>



<li>Tracer </li>



<li>Roadhog </li>



<li>Zarya </li>



<li>Reaper </li>
</ol>



<p>Last is the D-tier. This small group of six heroes have had the least fun changes in the Overwatch 2 April Fools update. The changes just haven't made an impact in their gameplay. They feel either worse or just that you are playing the same hero prior to the update. It's unfortunate, but not every April Fools' Day hero can be amazing. </p>
