**Why does input lag happen?**\
It occurs when using multiple applications at once. And that creates a small "delay" that we reduce with this program. 

**How does this program help us?**\
This program helps us by giving “priority” to the application we are currently using. For example, the game you are currently playing and you also have another program opened like: google, discord, etc. your game has priority. By doing so you reduce the input lag and the subjective feeling in the game is that it works faster for you but in fact, you have only reduced the input delay. 

You can see more details about this and how to set it all up in the video.

New World - is it really a New World or just another MMORPG in the series that will create huge hype and excitement at the beginning and be forgotten shortly after?

**What, exactly, is New World (NW)?**

NW is the latest MMORPG created by Amazon Games Orange County, a company better known for creating games for Amazon's App Store and tablets, founded in 2011. Until 2014, Amazon stuck to making apps for its Appstore, and only after hiring Kim Swift (who worked on the legendary game Portal) and Clint Hocking (Far Cry 2, in my opinion, the best FC in the series) to announce the launch of making computer games.

Although the projects were quite ambitious, they were introduced to the public only in 2016 on TwitchCon when they released a project that included three computer games - Breakaway, Crucible, and before mentioned, New World. And while Breakaway and Crucible can be marked as failures, New World was looking far more promising.

Like any game NW, as well, went through closed and open beta, and even then it could be sensed that NW would be Amazon's massive success as soon as it was released “amongst people”, so to speak. But what even the people from Amazon themselves could not have guessed is the fact that at the official start the servers are gonna be overbooked, and that tens of thousands of people will have to wait in queue to become part of The New World (pun intended).

Of course, due to such congestion, there will be disconnections from the server, as well as after reaching a certain number in the game queue the game simply freezes - you know, the standard story for games that are not ready for such a sudden boom in their player base.

To bring the situation closer: On September 28, New World became available to players around the world. Regional servers have been set up for Australia, the east and west coasts of the United States, Europe, and South America. When taken into account that the maximum number of players on one server was limited to 2,000 and that on release day Steam recorded 700,000 players, you will see for yourself where potential problems could have occurred. A couple of comrades with whom I share discord servers have constantly complained that the queue does not drop below 10,000! The servers were (literally) about to collapse.

However, Amazon reacted extremely quickly and after a few days, the maximum number of players within one server was increased to 25,000, while new, additional, servers were opened and the current number of active servers was around 600.

And what is it that has attracted so many players? How is New World different from other MMORPG games?

The answer to the first question would be curiosity. I will assume that the players wanted to see for themselves whether the game would be as good as the trailer with which it was announced. I wouldn't say I share all the hype around the game with those 700,000 people.

Why? Although the game, at first glance, looks extremely interesting, after reading the impressions and watching a couple of Youtube videos, I concluded that those 40 euros are not worth spending. I wouldn’t like you to think the game is not good, quite the contrary. But as a player who loves endgame content and clear goals in both PvP (player vs player) and PvE (player vs environment) part of the game, I just didn't notice that something like that exists in the New World.

I would, however, recommend it to the players who have the time to play the game on some more informal (casual) level with a focus on learning the basics of MMORPG games. But, first of all, I would recommend that you don't rush and wait a few more weeks for the game to get polished so you spare yourself the hassles due to small bugs and too many players in the starting zones.

If you decide to try the game yourself, a couple of things that will attract and hold your attention are: 
 - Beautiful landscapes and territories through which you level 
 - A simple way of fighting "monsters", 
- The fact that you can collect all possible materials needed to make equipment, drinks, food, etc. as well as being able to wield any weapon, no matter what class you are in. Because there is no class within the New World - you are neither a warrior nor a mage or a warlock. It all depends on what weapon you are currently carrying. So with character leveling, you also level your weapon and based on what level your weapon is, you also get a skill tree that allows you to use certain spells. The fight is quite similar to the one in Guild Wars, where your main shots are placed on the left and right-click and all your shots have a certain "distance" (range) from which you can strike. All the healing spells (heals) are a little more challenging because you have to aim and hit teammates with spells.

![blog2-2.jpg](/uploads/blog2_2_4c7b6ee595.jpg)

As for the factions - there are three in the game that differ in the philosophy of life they practice. So we have:
- The Marauders (green) with the slogan "Power is justice", 
- The Union (purple) with the motto "Science will be our salvation" 
- And the Alliance (yellow) who claims that "Religion is our salvation". 

The only difference, apart from the philosophy you will be guided by within the game, is that when your faction holds territory you have certain discounts within the cities in that territory.

The downside of the story is the fact that humans are the only race you can choose. A little boring, I know. Especially for an MMORPG, but at least you have an enormous choice in customization of your character.

The quests you get through the game are not too complicated and mainly consist of straightforward actions - collecting things or killing a certain number of opponents. As for the profession - you have absolutely no limit (such as in World of WarCraft where the limit is two learned professions) and you can master them all.

And finally, if you decide to try New World, my recommendation would be to do it with your friends because everything is more beautiful when there is teamwork!

New World review

American company Valve, the creator of one of the most popular computer games in the world - DotA 2, has decided to hold this year's World Club Championship (also known as The International) without live audience at the Romanian National Stadium. The decision was made just a few days before the start of the long-awaited spectacle, not held the previous year due to the coronavirus pandemic.

In a press release, Valve cites the current situation with the new coronavirus pandemic in Romania as the main factor in the decision, and that they did not want to risk the health of the people in charge of organizing this event.

**"We have been carefully evaluating the continued rise of Covid rates in Romania, as well as the resulting introduction of new local restrictions in Bucharest. To ensure the safety of all players, talent, and production staff participating in the event, we have decided to refund all ticket sales for The International 2021."**, they stated in the announcement, among other things.

The International (TI) will be held in the capital of Romania, Bucharest, from October 7th to 17th. Despite all the measures, fans from all over the world rushed to be part of a story they had been denied of in the previous year. However, the pleasure of watching the world's best DotA players live from the stands of the stadium in Bucharest, which has a capacity of 50,000 seats, will again be lacking, so the chairs in the stadium will, unfortunately, have to be replaced with those back at home, in front of TV screens.

As a reminder, TI10 was supposed to be held the previous year in Stockholm, more precisely from **18th to 23rd of August 2020**, but it was postponed due to the beginning of the pandemic. At that time, all indications were that it would be moved to 2021, which was eventually confirmed.

The **Avicii Arena** in the capital of **Sweden** was supposed to be the scene of this year's biggest tactical outwitting in the virtual world from **5th to 15th of August**. We got over the previous year, and fans began looking forward to August. However, as the date approached, the authorities in Sweden voiced their concerns about organizing the event, eventually canceling it, thus throwing Valve into despair again.

The next challenge was finding a new hosting city in a very short period of time. Two top contenders were Kyiv, which hosted a DotA2 Major (WePlay AniMajor) from June 2nd to 13th, and Bucharest. There was a lot of tendency towards Kyiv, mostly because the players of most participating teams in TI had a visa for Ukraine, which would be valid through out the original dates of the championship.

![b85617068fea2582f76392a88564c5ea9ff70de0dde4ef835b51d92b04801fc9.jpg](/uploads/b85617068fea2582f76392a88564c5ea9ff70de0dde4ef835b51d92b04801fc9_9293ef2009.jpg)

However, Valve decided to postpone the event once again, so we finally came to the final solution - **Bucharest from October 7th to 17th**. Everything went according to plan, tickets were released for sale, individuals had booked hotel arrangements. But then, out of the blue, came the news that disappointed DotA2 fans once more. An additional cause for concern for Valve and the organizers was the fact that the rosters of two Chinese teams (Team Aster and Invictus Gaming) became infected with the virus and will have to be quarantined during the group stage. The remaining 16 teams did not have any problems with the virus, and we hope that it will remain so.

The fact that all teams have confirmed they will play in the strongest teams is gratifying, meaning the last doubt has been removed - the offline player of the defending champions, the European team OG, Sebastian ‘Ceb’ Debs, will still be part of this year's biggest show.

For those unfamiliar with the qualification system – top 12 seeds from this year's DotA2 Pro Circuit received a direct invitation to Bucharest, while the regional qualifiers spawned the remaining six participants.

Thus, Europe, next to OG, will be represented by two other teams - Secret and Alliance. CIS and Southeast Asia will have two representatives respectively - Virtus.Pro, Team Spirit (CiS) and  T1, Fnatic (SEA), North America three (EG, Quincy Crew and Team Undying), as well as South America (Beastcoast, Thunder Predator and SG esports), while the remaining five places were filled by China (PSG.LGD, Invictus Gaming, Vici Gaming, Team Aster and Elephant).

The spectacle is guaranteed, and it is up to us to enjoy the mastery of the best and cheer for, if not our team, then for the best quality matches, and see whether members of OG will be forced to hand over the trophy to another team, or will they keep it in their showcases for the third year in a row.

Valve decided: The International without audience

###### The group stage of The International (TI) has come to an end. After four days of great games, incredible comebacks, and excellent Dota in general, it is known which two teams will go home, which eight will try to get the best placement through the upper bracket, and which eight will fight for their tournament life through the lower bracket. 

## Pol-positions for Invictus Gaming and PSG.LGD

The group stage of The International (TI) has come to an end. After four days of great games, incredible comebacks, and excellent Dota in general, it is known which two teams will go home, which eight will try to get the best placement through the upper bracket, and which eight will fight for their tournament life through the lower bracket. 

The South American teams Thunder Predator (group A) and SG e-sports (group B) finished the competition at the bottom of their groups, meaning they will watch the rest of the tournament from the stands. This result was to be expected, given the quality of the two teams that were considered to be total outsiders of the tournament. However, they will also collect $ 100,000 as of the last-placed teams.

The last day resolved the only dilemma in Group A, which was - will Evil Geniuses (EG) continue the competition in the upper or the lower bracket. In the last series of day within their group, the fight for the upper bracket was fought between EG, the defender of the trophy OG, as well as the representative of Southeast Asia - team T1. EG were the holders of their own destiny - all they had to do was to beat Team Undying 2-0 and thus provide at least a tie-breaker with the other two teams. However, even the defeat on the first map did not hinder Team Undying, which came back stronger on the second map, and with a great game and win messed up the calculations of their regional neighbors, eventually ending above them on the table of Group A.

Alongside EG there was another great game ongoing and it was fought between Invictus Gaming and OG. After an exciting first map, IG had to lay down their arms in front of the defending champions, but on the second they confirmed that they have the qualities needed to reach the world's top and secured themselves the top spot of Group A with 14 points. 

The representative of the CIS region, team Virtus.Pro, with a 2:0 victory over the Chinese team Aster, took the second position with 12 points, while OG and T1 rounded up the top 4 teams in Group A with 10 points.

Group B was less interesting compared to Group A, because it was already known which teams would advance to the Top 4, it was just a question of how Team Secret, Vici Gaming, and Team Spirit would share the slots under the powerhouse that is PSG.LGD that roared through the group, winning 15 out of a maximum of 16 points - only Team Secret managed to take a point off of them!

In a direct duel, the European representative, Team Secret defeated the Chinese team Vici Gaming with 2:0 and thus overtook the second position within the group, but it still seems that Secret has it rough - in the end, they will have their duel against the team OG in the European derby. The fourth position in Group B was taken by the biggest surprise of this year's championship - the CIS squad Team Spirit, which delighted the audience with four wins (8 maps) in a row, and presented itself as the "dark horse" of this year's International. It’s up to them to just maintain their current form. 
Perhaps the biggest disappointment of the group stage is the North American team Quincy Crew, which many considered to be one of the favorites of this year's TI. In the end - sixth place in group B is far below expectations and it remains to be seen whether a day off before the matches in the lower bracket will be enough to consolidate the ranks within the team.

![tabela1.jpg](/uploads/tabela1_7fae87fc07.jpg)

Considering they were the leaders of their groups, PSG.LGD and IG had the opportunity to choose their opponent from the opposite group. Thus, PSG.LGD chose the fourth-placed team of group A - T1, while IG chose Team Spirit. 

As a reminder, 2012 was the last time that two Chinese teams were at the top of the group stage of The International – in fact, there were the same teams back then as well, LGD and Invictus Gaming. LGD dominated their group, not dropping a single game (14-0), but it didn't matter - in the end, IG lifted the trophy, beating the defender of the trophy – CIS representative team Natus Vincere 3:1 in the overall final, avenging their defeat in the semifinals of the upper bracket (1:2).

The remaining two pairs of the upper bracket are the already mentioned Team Secret – OG, and Vici Gaming - Virtus.Pro.
All matches are played in Best of 3 (Bo3) format. The winners go to the semifinals, while the defeated teams will wait for their opponents in the lower bracket. The hell of the first round of the lower bracket consists of the Best of 1 (Bo1) series and only four out of the eight teams from the following pairs will get a free pass out of it: Team Undying - Fnatic, Quincy Crew - Team Aster, Beastcoast - Alliance and Evil Geniuses - Team Elephant.
The teams will have a one-day break, and the playoff phase will kick-off with the matches in the upper bracket – first in line will be the match between Invictus Gaming and Team Spirit, followed by Team Secret and OG.

Schedule (Tuesday)\
**09:00h**	Invictus Gaming – Team Spirit\
**12:00h**	Team Secret – OG\
**15:00h**	Team Undying – Fnatic\
**16:00h**	Quincy Crew – Alliance\
**17:00h**	Beastcoast – Alliance\
**18:00h**	Evil Geniuses - Elephant

Chinese teams dominate the group phase of this year The International

###### CiS ekipa Team Spirit novi je šampion The Internationala! U fenomenalnom finalu ruski predstavnik je u Bo5 (Best of 5) seriji savladao apsolutnog favorita ovogodišnjeg turnira kinesku ekipu PSG.LGD sa 3:2, kompletiravši svoju „cindarella story”.

## Bajka zvana Team Spirit!

CiS ekipa **Team Spirit** novi je šampion The Internationala! U fenomenalnom finalu ruski predstavnik je u Bo5 (Best of 5) seriji savladao apsolutnog favorita ovogodišnjeg turnira kinesku ekipu PSG.LGD sa 3:2, kompletiravši svoju „cindarella story”.

Podsjećanja radi, Team Spirit je do vrha došao preko regionalnih kvalifikacija, branioca titule ekipe OG, kineskog velikana Invictus Gaming, osvetivši im se za poraz u gornjem dijelu kostura, nezaobilaznog Team Secreta u finalu donjeg dijela kostura, zaokruživši put do vrha svjetske DotA2 scene finalnom pobjedom nad ekipom PSG.LGD.

![The-International-2021-1.png](/uploads/The_International_2021_1_456b82b5b6.png)

A niko nije ni slutio da će se najmlađa ekipa ovogodišnjeg Internationala (prosjek godina 21) popeti na krov svijeta nakon prva dva dana grupne faze, gdje su nakon četiri odigrana meča zauzimali pretposlednju poziciju grupe B sa samo 2 boda i skorom od jedne pobjede i 3 poraza. Međutim, nakon toga nastupa rapsodija, koja je samo na kratko prekinuta u prvom meču gornjeg dijela kostura porazom od Invictus Gaminga – naređali su nevjerovatnih 10 pobjeda uz taj jedan poraz. Na samom kraju serije srušen je mnogo iskusniji suparnik koji u redovima imaju igrače koji su već imali iskustva u podizanju pehara na najvećoj svjetskoj smotri – **Žang „Y“ Jiping  i Žang „Faith Bian“ Ruida** (2016. godine bili dio ekipe Wings), kao i trenera koji važi za jednog od najuvaženijih DotA2 igrača u Kini **Žang „Xiao8“ Ninga**, i obradovala hordu navijača kraj malih ekrana inkasiravši nevjerovatnih 18.208.300 dolara!

**Ilja „Yatoro“ Muljarčuk, Aleksander „TORONTOTOKIO“ Kertek, Magomed „Collapse“ Khalilov, Miroslav „Mira“ Kolpakov** i kapiten J**aroslav „Miposhka“ Naidenov** upisali su svoja imena zlatnim slovima u istoriju The Internationala u, vjerovatno, najvećem iznenađenju glavne faze ikad. Mnogi od igrača su se upisali ne samo na ekipnom, nego i na individualnom nivou.

Carry igrač ekipe **Ilja „Yatoro“ Maljurčuk** ostaće upamćen kao igrač koji je odigrao 14 različitih heroja na 20 mečeva glavne faze! Uz to, ovaj 18-ogodišnjak sa tri rampage-a na ovogodišnjem turniru drži 50%(!) rampage-a u istoriji The Internationala – ono što je svim ostalim igračima pošlo za rukom samo tri puta u 9 godina dugoj istoriji Yatoro je uspio da uradi u svega 15 mečeva glavne faze, napravivši rampage-a sa 3 različita heroja – Morphling, Drow Ranger, Sven! A mnogo će vremena proći prije nego li publika zaboravi na nevjerovatne partije **Magomed „Collapse“ Khalilova** na Magnusu kojeg je proslavio Aghanims shard na ovom heroju i nevjerovatni preokreti kojima je Horn Toss prethodio (looking at you, OG). Ali, biće prilike da se i opširnije piše o uspjehu i nezaboravnom putu mladih momaka CiS regije. Valjalo bi potrošiti par riječi i o samom finalu.

![dota2-ti-10-scaled.jpg](/uploads/dota2_ti_10_scaled_ad4e4a1bf5.jpg)

Pehar je ponovo iskliznuo iz šaka ekipe PSG.LGD – nakon nezaboravne serije 2018. godine i finala sa ekipom OG (OG slavio sa 3:2) kineski predstavnik je morao da položi oružje i pred prvim CiS predstavnikom u finalu još od 2013. godine, kada je ekipa Natus Vincere poražena u legendarnom meču od ekipe Alliance (3:2). A većina je mislila da će kineska ekipa imati daleko lakši posao u finalu nakon što je Team Spirit u finalu donjeg dijela kostura eliminisao Team Secret. A kako i ne bi – LGD je do finala došao impresivnom igrom, dominirajući kako u grupnoj tako i u glavnoj fazi izgubivši samo dvije od 23 odigrane mape – samo su SEA predstavnik T1 i Team Secret uspjeli da ih savladaju. Takođe treba napomenuti da su tokom premijernog dana grupne faze savladali Team Spirit sa 2:0 za svega 55 minuta efektivne igre!

Međutim, ono što igrači kineskog predstavnika nijesu očekivali je entuzijazam kod protivnika i činjenicu da su igrači Team Spirita u duel ušli daleko rasterećeniji. To se moglo primijetiti tokom prve dvije mape koje su prosto izdominirane od strane CiS ekipe, ostavljajući LGD-u malo do ništa šansi da iskoriste greške i sa sigurnih 2:0 imali prvu meč loptu.

Ipak, PSG.LGD uspijeva da se oporavi na trećoj mapi i nakon sjajnog counter pick-a za Collapsovog Magnusa u vidu Rubick-a kojeg je igrao **Žao „XinQ“ Ziksing** i nošeni odličnom igrom **Čeng „NothingToSay“ đin Ksijanga** na Tinkeru smanjuju rezultat na 2:1.

Na četvrtoj mapi primjetno je bilo da su igrači Team Spirita pali sa koncentracijom i nakon nepunih 25 minuta igre kineski predstavnik uspijeva da izjednači na 2:2 i dovedu sebe do praga istorijskog preokreta, kojim bi postali prva ekipa u finalima The Internationala koja bi preokrenula rezultat od 0:2.

Međutim, igrači Team Spirita su se sabrali u pauzi između mapa i na petoj su u nevjerovatnoj borbi tokom mid game-a uspjeli da slome protivnika, koji je možda i previše forsirao agresivnu igru u momentima kada je trebalo biti pasivniji, što ih je na kraju koštalo mape, meča, titule i 13 miliona dolara. Ponovo je briljirao Collapse, koji je svojim umijećem na Magnusu pokazao zašto je taj heroj zaslužio respect ban na mečevima Team Spirita.

Tako će igrači ekipe PSG.LGD morati da se zadovolje drugim mjestom i 5 miliona dolara, dok će trećeplasirani Team Secret inkasirati 3 miliona.

Igračima Team Spirit predstoji zaslužen odmor, prema riječima kapitena **Jaroslav „Miposhka“ Naidenova**, a na nama je da sacekamo da se slegnu utisci nevjerovatne finalne serije a i cjelokupnog The Internationala 2021.

Ukoliko nijeste bili dio milion i petstotina hiljada gledalaca kraj malih ekrana, koliko je pratilo spektakularno finale, priliku na pogledate najbolje poteze i situacije sa mečeva možete ispratiti na linku ispod.

Senzacija na kraju ovogodišnjeg The Internationala

###### CiS representative Team Spirit is the new champion of The International! In the phenomenal final, the Russian squad in the Bo5 (Best of 5) series defeated the absolute favorite of this year's tournament, the Chinese team PSG.LGD, with 3:2, completing their "cinderella story".

## A fairy tale called Team Spirit!
 
CiS representative **Team Spirit** is the new champion of The International! In the phenomenal final, the Russian squad in the Bo5 (Best of 5) series defeated the absolute favorite of this year's tournament, the Chinese team PSG.LGD, with 3:2, completing their "cinderella story".

As a reminder, Team Spirit reached the top through regional qualifiers, beating the defending champions – team OG, Chinese giant Invictus Gaming, avenging their defeat in the upper bracket, followed by a win over the inevitable Team Secret in the lower bracket, rounding the way to the top of the worlds DotA2 scene with a  victory over PSG.LGD.

![The-International-2021-1.png](/uploads/The_International_2021_1_456b82b5b6.png)

And no one even suspected that the youngest team of this year's International (average players age 21) will climb to the highest step after the first two days of the group stage, where after four matches they were at the bottom of Group B with only 2 points and just one victory and 3 defeats. However, after that the rhapsody begins, which was only briefly interrupted in the first match of the upper bracket by Invictus Gaming - they went on a spree that includes incredible 10 victories with that one defeat. At the very end of the spree, a much more experienced opponent, who was lead by players who already had lifted the trophy at the world's largest show - **Zhang "Y" Yiping** and **Zhang "Faith Bian" Ruida** (in 2016 they were part of the Chinese team Wings) was defeated. Alongside the two players, LGD had a coach who is considered one of the most respected DotA2 players in China, **Zhang "Xiao8" Ning**, but that didn't stop Team Spirit which delighted the horde of fans in front of TV and PC screens and collected a whopping amount of $ 18,208,300!

**Ilya "Yatoro" Mulyarchuk, Alexander "TORONTOTOKIO" Khertek, Magomed "Collapse" Khalilov, Miroslaw "Mira" Kolpakov**, and captain **Yaroslav "Miposhka" Naidenov** wrote their names in golden letters in the history of The International in, probably, the biggest upset of the main event ever. Many of the players enrolled not only at the team level but on an individual level as well.

The carry player of the team **Ilya "Yatoro" Malyurchuk** will be remembered as a player who played 14 different heroes in 20 matches of the main event! In addition, the 18-year-old, with three rampages in this year's tournament, holds 50%(!) of the rampages in the history of The International - something that all other players combined have managed only three times in the 9-year TI history, Yatoro has managed to do in only 15 matches of the main phase, making a rampage with 3 different heroes - Morphling, Drow Ranger and Sven!

And it will be a long time before the audience forgets about **Magomed "Collapse" Khalilov's** incredible plays on Magnus and the Aghanims shard on the hero, and the incredible twists that Horn Toss preceded (looking at you, OG). But, there will be opportunities to write more about the success and unforgettable journey of the young guys of the CiS region. Let's say a couple of words about the finals.

![dota2-ti-10-scaled.jpg](/uploads/dota2_ti_10_scaled_ad4e4a1bf5.jpg)

The cup slipped out of the hands of PSG.LGD again - after an unforgettable series in 2018 and the finals against OG (OG won 3: 2), the Chinese representatives had to lay down their arms in front of the first CiS representative in the finals since 2013, when Natus Vincere was defeated in a legendary match by The Alliance (3:2).

Most thought that the Chinese team would have a far easier job in the final after Team Spirit eliminated Team Secret in the lower bracket final. And how could it not be - LGD reached the finals with an impressive showcase, dominating both in the groups and the main stage phases, losing only two of the 23 maps played - only SEA representative T1 and Team Secret managed to overcome them. It should also be noted that during the premiere day of the group stages, they defeated Team Spirit with 2:0 in just 55 minutes of effective play!

However, what the players of the Chinese representative did not expect was the enthusiasm of the opponents and the fact that the players of Team Spirit entered the duel far more relieved, without the pressure of a big result. This could be noticed during the first two maps that were simply dominated by the CiS team, leaving LGD with little to no chance to take advantage of mistakes, and with a sure 2:0 lead they had the first match point.

Still, PSG.LGD manages to recover on the third map and after a great counter pick for „Collaps's“ Magnus in the form of Rubick played by **Zhao "XinQ" Zixing** and carried by the excellent game of **Cheng "NothingToSay" Jin Xiang** on Tinker reduce the score to 2:1.

On the fourth map, it was noticeable that Team Spirit players concentration was low and after less than 25 minutes of play, the Chinese representative managed to equalize (2:2) and brought themselves to a brink of a historic turnaround – they would've become the first team in the finals of The International to do a reverse sweep.

However, Team Spirit players gathered their thoughts in the break between the games, and in the fifth, they managed to break the opponent during incredible team fights during the mid-game, which may have been forced too much by their opponents, in the moments where they needed to be more passive, which in the end cost them the game, series, title and $ 13 million.

Collapse was brilliant again and showed that the skills he possesses while playing Magnus deserved a respect ban in Team Spirit matches.

Thus, the players of the PSG.LGD team will have to settle for second place and $ 5 million, while the third-placed Team Secret collected 3 million.

Team Spirit players will have a well-deserved rest, according to captain **Yaroslav "Miposhka" Naidenov**, and the rest of us should let the dust from the incredible final series and the entire The International 2021 settle and enjoy the moments.

## Koreanske ekipe za korak ispred svih, EDward Gaming brani čast ostalih regija

Ovogodišnji svjetski šampionat u igri League of Legends (LoL Worlds 2021) sa epicentrom u glavnom gradu Islanda, Rejkjaviku, polako ulazi u završnu fazu.

Nakon uzbudljive grupne faze i par iznenađujućih rezultata (jedan od njih uključuje ispadanje jednog od favorita za podizanje pehara, ekipe FunPlus Phoenix), na red su došli četvrtfinalni mečevi.

Polovinu učesnika četvrtfinala sačinjavale su ekipe iz Južne Koreje – **Denwon Gaming KIA** (Grupa A), **T1** (Grupa B), **Hanwha Life Esports** (Grupa C) te **Gen.G esports** (Grupa D). Preostalih 11 kvalifikacionih regija dalo je drugu polovinu, sa Kinom na čelu povorke i dvije ekipe u četvrtfinalu - **EDward Gaming** (Grupa B) i **Royal Never Give Up** (Grupa C), zatim **Mad Lions** (Grupa D) kao predstavnik evropske regije, zaključno sa **Cloud 9** (Sjeverna Amerika). Sjevernoamerički predstavnik je, vjerovatno, najveće iznenađenje grupne faze – igrači iz C9 su u direktnom duelu za plasman u četvrtinu finala savladali drugog „nosioca“ – koreansku ekipu FunPlus Phoenix, koja je na kraju završila na začelju grupe A sa istim skorom kao Cloud9 i Rogue (2-4).

![grp_stage.png](/uploads/grp_stage_8b31a019a5.png)

U prvoj nokaut rundi ukrštale su se grupe A i D, odnosno B i C, pa smo tako imali prilike da gledamo dva derbija – prvi je bio duel kineskih predstavnika, što fanovima ekipa ostavlja slatko-gorak osjećaj u ustima. Da, Kina će imati makar jednog predstavnika ali su do polufinala došli preko ekipe iz svoje regije. Na kraju – EDward Gaming (EDG) slavi pobjedu od 3:2 u meču koji je zadovoljio ukuse svih fanova, ne samo kineskih. Iako su izgledali pomalo klimavo tokom grupne faze igrači EDG-a su ipak pokazali zašto su na Worlds došli kao prvi nosilac – uspjeli su da se oporave nakon poraza na prvoj mapi i sa dva vezana trujmfa pređu u vođstvo od 2:1. Međutim, nije se RNG dao tako lako i pobjedom na četvrtoj vode nas u petu mapu, koja je pokazala pogubna za njih. Odličnu partiju na petoj mapi pružio je duo core ekipe EDG – midlejner **Li „Scout“ Je-čan** na njegovom signaturnom heroju **Ryze-u**, kao i, trenutno možda najbolji carry igrač, **Park „Viper“ Do-hjeon**, na **Ezrielu**. Možda najveća greška RNG-a bila je upravo ta kada su dopustili da Ryze prođe inicijalnu ban fazu.

Tako će EDG u polufinalu morati da nadjača vjerovatno najslabiju od tri koreanske ekipe - Gen.G esports, koja je počistila Cloud9 sa Summoners Rifta (3:0) i tako okončala snove najvećeg iznenađenja grupne faze. Nakon furioznih 2:0 od strane ekipe Gen.G, Cloud9 se probudio na trećoj mapi, imali su vođstvo tokom većine meča, ali jedan missplay njihovog carry igrača **Jesper „Zven“ Svenningsona** u ključnim momentima meča ih je skupo koštao. Nakon toga C9 nije imao snage da održi vođstvo i na kraju su morali da potpišu kapitulaciju.

Drugi polufinalni meč možemo slobodno nazvati finalem prije finala. Ekipe T1 i Denwon Gaming KIA sastaće se u sudaru titana LoL scene. Biće ovo prilika za T1 da se revanšira protivniku za poraz u finalu LCK-a (1:3) i ujedno skine sa trona prošlogodišnjeg osvajača Worlds-a.

T1 je grupnu fazu grupe B završio na prvom mjestu i tako kao prepreku na putu do finala imao koreanskog predstavnika Hahwha Life esports. Međutim, nošeni sjajnom igrom **Lee „Faker“ Sang-hjeoka**, možda i najboljeg igrača u istoriji LoL-a, T1 se prosto prošetao na otvaranju četvrtfinalnih mečeva (3:0).

Ispostavilo se da ništa teži posao nijesi imali ni članovi branioca titule. Damwon Gaming je jedina ekipa koja je grupnu fazu završila sa perfektnim skorom (6:0) i stavili do znanja svima da se neće lako odreći titule osvojene prošle godine u Šangaju. Oni su, takođe sa 3:0, savladali evropskog predstavnika ekipu Mad Lions, za koju je većina mislila da će biti „dark horse“ ovogodišnjeg Worldsa. Ipak, nakon iscrpljujuće grupne faze (sve četiri ekipe unutar grupe D su imale skor od 3:3) nijesu imali snage a ni koncentracije da spriječe trenutno najdominantniju ekipu na sceni na putu ka odbrani titule.

![Worlds_bracket.png](/uploads/Worlds_bracket_bc060a241f.png)

Ekipama slijedi par dana pauze i biće to sjajna prilika da se na pravi način pripreme za ono što ih, a i nas, čeka. Polufinalne mečeve otvoriće super-derbi između T1 i DAMWON Gaminga, koji je zakazan za 30. oktobar (14h po našem vremenu), dok će 31. svoj meč odigrati ekipe EDward Gaming i Gen.G. esports (takođe od 14h po našem vremenu).

Poznati svi polufinalisti ovogodišnjeg Worlds championship-a

## The Korean teams are one step ahead of everyone, EDward Gaming defends the honor of other regions

This year's World Championship in the game League of Legends (LoL Worlds 2021) with its epicenter in the capital of Iceland, Reykjavik, is slowly entering its final phase.

After an exciting group stage and a couple of surprising results (one of which includes the relegation of one of the favorites for lifting the trophy, team FunPlus Phoenix), it was time for quarterfinal matches.

Half of the participants in the quarterfinals were teams from South Korea - **Denwon Gaming KIA** (Group A), T1 (Group B), **Hanwha Life Esports** (Group C), and **Gen.G esports** (Group D). The remaining 11 qualifying regions gave the second half, with China leading the procession and having two teams in the quarterfinals - **EDward Gaming** (Group B) and **Royal Never Give Up** (Group C), **Mad Lions** (Group D) as a representative of the European region, concluding with **Cloud 9** (North America). The North American representative is probably the biggest surprise of the group stage - the players from C9 defeated the second-seeded team in a direct duel for placement in the quarterfinals - the Korean team FunPlus Phoenix, which ended up at the bottom of Group A, with the same score as Cloud9 and Rogue (2-4).

![grp_stage.png](/uploads/grp_stage_8b31a019a5.png)

In the first knockout round, groups A and D, ie B and C, crossed, so we had the opportunity to watch two derbies - the first was the duel of two Chinese representatives, which left the fans of the teams with a sweet-bitter feeling in their mouths. Yes, China will have at least one representative, but they reached the semifinals through a team from their region. In the end - EDward Gaming (EDG) celebrates a 3:2 victory in a match that satisfied the tastes of all fans, not just the Chinese ones. Although they looked a bit shaky during the group stage, EDG members still showed why they came to the Worlds as the first seed from the Korean region - they managed to recover after the defeat on the first map and with two wins in a row took the lead (2:1). However, RNG did not give up so easily, and winning the fourth led us to the fifth map, which proved disastrous for them. An excellent game on the fifth map was provided by the core duo of the EDG team – mid-laner **Lee "Scout" Ye-chan** on his signature hero **Ryze**, as well as, currently perhaps the best carry player, **Park "Viper" Do-hyeon**, on **Ezriel**. RNG’s biggest mistake could have possibly been the fact that they allowed Ryze to go through the initial ban phase.

Thus, EDG will have to overcome probably the weakest of the three Korean teams in the semifinals - Gen.G esports, which clean-sweep Cloud9 from Summoners Rift (3:0), ending the dreams of the team that was the biggest surprise of the group stage. After a furious 2:0 by Gen.G, Cloud9 woke up on the third map. They had the lead during most of the match, but one misplay from their carry player **Jesper "Zven" Svenningsen** during the key moments of the match cost them dearly. After that, C9 did not have the strength to maintain the lead, and in the end, they had to sign the capitulation.

The second semi-final match can be freely called the final before the final. Teams T1 and Denwon Gaming KIA will meet in the clash of the titans of the LoL scene. This will be an opportunity for T1 to take revenge on the opponent for the defeat in the LCK final (1:3) and at the same time dethrone last year's Worlds winner.

T1 finished the group stage of Group B in the first place and thus had the Korean representative Hahwha Life esports as an obstacle on the way to the finals. However, **Lee "Faker" Sang-hyeok**, arguably the best player in the history of LoL, carried his team to an easy victory over their opponents. It seemed like T1 simply took a walk through the park at the opening of the quarterfinal matches (3:0).

It turned out that the members of the title defender did not have a more difficult job than T1. Being the only team that finished the group stage with a perfect score (6:0) Denwon Gaming makes a clear statement and lets everyone know that they aren't planning on giving up on the title they won last year in Shanghai. They also defeated the European representative, the Mad Lions team (3:0), which most thought would be the "dark horse" of this year's Worlds. However, after an exhausting group stage (all four teams within Group D had a score of 3:3) they did not have the strength nor concentration to prevent the currently most dominant team on the scene on their way of defending the title.

![Worlds_bracket.png](/uploads/Worlds_bracket_bc060a241f.png)

The teams will have a few days off and it will be a great opportunity to properly prepare for what awaits them, and us. The semi-final matches will be opened by the super-derby between T1 and DAMWON Gaming, which is scheduled for October 30th (2 pm local time), while the teams EDward Gaming and Gen.G esports will play theirs on the 31st (also 2 pm local time).

All semifinalists of this year's Worlds championship have been determined

## PGL Stockholm Major has come to an end, S1mple finally has a Major title

The Ukrainian team Natus Vincere is the winner of the trophy intended for the best team of PGL Stockholm Major. After a great fight and an incredible turnaround on the second map, they defeated team G2 with 2:0 and thus finally broke the curse of 2nd places in the biggest competitions, collecting a million dollars for their efforts along the way, reminding the crowd in the capital of Sweden what the charm of LAN events was all about, the charm that was missing for the past two years, during the online era.

The way they got their first title is impressive - they are the first team in the history of the CS: GO Major competition to reach the top without losing a single map! Something that even the powerhouse Astralis, who dominated the scene from 2017 to 2019, didn’t manage to do, even though they picked up four Major titles in that time period. Thus, comparisons of this Na’vi with that Astralis team have already begun, and the fans of the Ukrainian team, popularly called Navination, believe in the beginning of an even more dominant era.

![pgl_simple.jpg](/uploads/pgl_simple_f052052e7b.jpg)

The path that brought the players of Natus Vincere to the top was paved with great teamwork but also individual outplays - during the New Legends phase, Heroic and Virtus. Pro was defeated (1:0), and then in the third round, they defeated Ninjas in Pajamas (NiP) with an easy 2:0, a team which most thought would be the biggest surprise of the tournament, thus securing the first position before the playoffs phase. And then in the quarterfinals, they battled the French representative Team Vitality, won on both maps (Dust2 16:11, Nuke 16:13), and confirmed their great form.

What most did not expect was the result of the semi-final duel with their colleagues from the CiS region – team Gambit. Gambit has stepped on Na’vi’s toes many times this year, which seemed to be fueling their revenge, served at the best possible moment. Na’vi dismantled their opponent - especially convincing was the win on Overpass, where the result was an unreal 16-3! Add to that the fact that Alexander "S1mple" Kostyliev had a score of 50-20 and a rating of 1.90… Where will you get a better prelude for the finals?

Their rival was a team that threw all its fans into despair with the form that preceded the Major, easily losing matches even to tier 2 teams. However, it turned out that G2 only saved the strategies for the Major, because they, like Na’vi, reached the playoffs with a score of 3:0 in the group stage. This was followed by a great game in the quarterfinals where they defeated NiP 2-0. Then came a classic nail-biter in the semifinals against team Heroic. After losing on the first map (Nuke 12:16), a great game on their map pick brought them an equalizer (Mirage 16:10), so everything came down to Inferno. G2 had a huge advantage (13:7) and a great opportunity to comfortably bring the match to an end, but they spilled the advantage like they were holding hot potatoes, so we headed into overtime, where after the phenomenal Terrorist side (3-0) they succeeded to utilize their first match point on the CT side and with 19:15 win sent Heroic packing.

G2 captain and in-game leader Nemanja "Nexa" Isaković announced in an interview after reaching the finals that they will try to fend off the favorites of the tournament and that they are going to try to avenge the defeats inflicted in the previous two finals (IEM Katowice, March 2020 (3:0) and IEM Cologne, July 2021 (3:0)).

And the players of G2 definitely gave their maximum in the finals. During the map selection, they decided to try to surprise Natus Vincere by picking Ancient, a map that both teams played only once during the Major (Na’vi defeated Heroic 16:11, while G2 won with the same result against Copenhagen Flames). However, the map pick backfired so Na’vi, after a great T side, was a map up with the final result being, you guessed right - 16:11.

Next up - Nuke. A map on which Na’vi had 17 consecutive wins, before the finals and a map from which Na’vi was supposed to sweep G2, especially considering that the French team lost the only map on the Major right on Nuke. But not only was G2 not swept like expected they took us into double overtime! The players of the French organization opened the map brilliantly and with their aggressive game on the CT side, they simply did not give Na’vi space to breathe. They read them like a book, it was obvious that they had done their homework and prepared a great defense, which gave them an enviable advantage at the end of the first half - 10:5. However, even the fact that they had a lead of 14:7, and then 15:10 and five map points, was not enough to close up the map in their favor and take us to the decider map. The defensive game of the Ukrainians was textbook showcasing, which just showed why they managed to have such a long winning streak on this map. Nikola "Niko" Kovač also had a great influence on the result - with a score of 15:12, in a 2 on 2 situation, Niko had an easy frag over S1mple that would seal the fate of the opposing team and take us to Mirage. Still, the Bosnian's hand trembled, and S1mple punished the bad aim of the G2 star with a quick flick. That moment seems to have been the beginning of the end for G2, and a moment that all fans of the game will remember for a long time to come.

![niko_choke.png](/uploads/niko_choke_a96f28b002.png)

This was followed by an equalizer (15:15), and there was a draw after the first overtime (18:18), although the Ukrainians had 18:16. However, G2 with three consecutive rounds managed to turn the score around to 19:18. That was, unfortunately, all she wrote for the French organization – they’ve spent all of their remaining strength allowing Na’vi to play their game. The Ukrainians finally managed to play their game, breaking their opponents, and with four consecutive rounds they managed to bring the match to an end and the celebrations started!
It was obvious how much this meant to the young Ukrainian superstar, arguably the best player to ever play the game, who was twice stopped from realizing his dream - first with team Liquid in the finals of the ESL One Cologne in 2016 (SK Telecom celebrated after a 2:0 win) and then with his current team at FACEIT Major 2018 in London (defeat by Astralis 2:0). This time S1mple aimed at the main target and rushed towards it like a bullet, not allowing anyone to distract or stop him.

However, this time not everything was on his shoulders. Although he carried most of the burden, as many as three Na’vi players found themselves in the top 5 best players of the tournament. The MVP award deservedly went into his hands. S1mple excelled throughout the tournament, rounding off a great game with 72 frags in the final series (32 at Ancient and 40 at Nuke) with an average rating of 1.54 (1.47 in total). This helped him to eventually skip Niko, who held first place on the MVP list until the final series (1.42). In addition to S1mple, Denis "Electronic" Sharipov (1.28) was on the list, as well as, we can freely say, the hands of the year - Valerii "b1t" Vakhovskyi (1.27), who took the fourth and fifth place on the list. The top 5 was rounded up by Vitality player Mathieu "ZywOo" Herbaut with a rating of 1.30.

![S1mple_MVP.jpg](/uploads/S1mple_MVP_35575083bb.jpg)

Thus, the Ukrainian organization finally won a Major trophy. The only team that participated in each of the 16 Majors so far, after their fourth final, finally managed to make full use of the potential of their roster and placed the long-awaited trophy in its showcases.
As for the players - there is no excessive break since BLAST Premiere: Fall finals 2021 series is just around the corner (24-28. November), where we will have the opportunity to watch 8 teams in yet another LAN - this time in Copenhagen: Astralis, NiP, Vitality, BIG, Faze Clan, Heroic, Liquid and Natus Vincere in the fight for $ 225,000 and place at the World Final which is on the program from 14-19. December. This will also be the last major event for the year 2021.

##  Završen PGL Stokholm Major, S1mple konačno dočekao Major titulu

Ukrajinska ekipa Natus Vincere osvajač je pehara namijenjenog najboljoj ekipi PGL Stokholm Majora. Oni su nakon velike borbe i nevjerovatnog preokreta na drugoj mapi savladali ekipu G2 sa 2:0 i tako konačno prekinuli kletvu drugih mjesta na najvećim takmičenjima, usput inkasiravši milion dolara za svoj trud.
            	
Način pomoću kojeg su došli do svoje prve titule je impresivan – prva su ekipa u istoriji CS:GO Major takmičenja koja je do vrha došla ne izgubivši niti jednu mapu! To za rukom nije pošlo ni moćnom Astralisu, koji je dominirao scenom od 2017. do 2019. godine, pokupivši četiri Major titule u tom vremenskom periodu. Tako su već počela poređenja ovog Na’vija sa tim Astralisom, a navijači ukrajinske ekipe, popularno nazvani Navination, vjeruju u početak još dominantnije ere.

![pgl_simple.jpg](/uploads/pgl_simple_f052052e7b.jpg)

Put koji je doveo igrače ekipe Natus Vincere do vrha je bio popločan sjajnom timskom igrom ali i individualnim outplay-evima – tokom New Legends faze savladani su Heroic i Virtus.Pro (1:0), a zatim su u trećoj rundi su sa laganih 2:0 savladali ekipu Ninjas in Pyjamas (NiP), za koju je većina mislila da će biti najveće iznenađenje turnira, tako osiguravši prvo poziciju pred plejof fazu. Svoju moć su demonstrirali i u četvrtfinalu gdje su savladali francuskog predstavnika Team Vitality (Dust2 16:11, Nuke 16:13) potvrdivši sjajnu formu.

Ono što većina nije očekivala je rezultat polufinalnog duela sa kolegama iz CiS regije – ekipom Gambit. Gambit je dosta puta tokom ove godine stao na žulj igračima Na’vija koji su izgleda spremali osvetu za najbolji mogući momenat. Prosto su demolirali protivnika, pogotovo na svom map pick-u gdje je rezultat glasio nestvarnih 16-3! Još kada se tome doda činjenica da je Oleksandr „S1mple“ Kostilijev u tom meču imao skor od 50-20 i rejting od 1.90.. Gdje ćete bolju uvertiru pred finale?

Njihov rival u finalu bila je ekipa koja je sve svoje fanove bacila u očaj formom koja je prethodila Majoru, sa lakoćom gubivši mečeve i od tier 2 ekipa. Međutim, ispostavilo se da je G2 samo čuvao strategije za Major, jer su i oni, kao i Na’vi, do plejofa došli sa skorom od 3:0 u grupnoj fazi. Uslijedila je odlična igra u četvrfinalu gdje su sa 2:0 savladali NiP i onda „kidanje živaca“ u polufinalu sa ekipom Heroic. Nakon poraza na prvoj mapi (Nuke 12:16), sjajna igra na svom map pick-u im je donio izjednačenje (Mirage 16:10) i sve se svelo na Inferno. Imao je G2 13:7 i sjajnu priliku da komotno privede meč kraju ali su prokockali prednost i otišlo se u produžetke, gdje su nakon fenomenalne Terrorist strane (3-0) iskoristili prvu meč loptu na CT strani i sa 19:15 ispratili Heroic sa glavne bine.

Kapiten ekipe G2 i ingame leader Nemanja „Nexa“ Isaković je u intervjuu nakon plasmana u finale najavio da će pružiti otpor najvećem favoritu turnira i da će pokušati da se osvete za poraze nanijete u prethodna dva finala (IEM Katovice, mart 2020 (3:0) i IEM Keln, jul 2021 (3:0).

A G2 je u finalu definitivno dao svoj maksimum. Tokom izbora mapa odlučili su da probaju da iznenade Natus Vincere sa Ancient pikom, mapom koju su obje ekipe odigrale samo po jednom tokom Majora (Na’vi savladao Heroic 16:11, dok je G2 istim rezultatom slavio protiv ekipe Copenhagen Flames). Međutim, to im se obilo o glavu pa je Na’vi nakon sjajne T strane slavio sa, pogađate, 16:11.

Uslijedio je Nuke. Mapa na kojoj je Na’vi prije finala imao 17 pobjeda za redom i mapa sa koje Na’vi trebalo da počisti G2, posebno ako se uzme u obzir da je francuska ekipa izgubila jedinu mapu na Majoru upravo na Nuke-u. Ali, G2 ne samo da nije bio počišćen već nas je odveo u double overtime! Sjajno su igrači francuske organizacije otvorili mapu i agresivnom igrom na CT strani jednostavno nijesu dali Na’viju prostora da diše. Čitali su ih kao knjigu, vidjelo se da su odradili domaći zadatak i pripremili sjajnu odbranu što im je donijelo zavidnu prednost na kraju prvog poluvremena – 10:5. Međutim, ni činjenica da su imali vođstvo od 14:7, pa onda i 15:10 i pet map „lopti“, nije bila dovoljna da mapu riješe u svoju korist. Na scenu je stupila defanzivna igra Ukrajinaca koji su pokazali zbog čega su uspjeli da imaju toliko dug pobjednički niz na ovoj mapi, ali je velikog uticaja imao i Nikola „Niko“ Kovač, koji je kod rezultata 15:12, u 2 na 2 situaciji, imao lagan frag nad S1mplom koji bi definitivno zapečatio sudbinu protivničke ekipe i otišlo bi se na Mirage. Ipak, zadrhtala je ruka Bosancu, a S1mple brzim flick-om kažnjava loš aim zvijezde G2. Čini se da je taj momenat bio početak kraja za G2, i definitivno momenat kojeg će se svi fanovi igre sjećati još dugo vremena.

![niko_choke.png](/uploads/niko_choke_a96f28b002.png)

Nakon ovog uslijedilo je izjednačenje (15:15), a neriješeno je bilo i nakon prvog produžetka (18:18), iako su Ukrajinci imali 18:16. Međutim, G2 sa tri uzastopne runde preokreće na 19:18 ali je to na žalost bilo sve preostalo snage što su imali u sebi. Nakon toga  Na’vi konačno uspijeva da dođe do svoje igre i sa četiri vezane runde sa njihove strane uspijevaju da meč privedu kraju i slavlje je moglo do počne!

Vidjelo se koliko je ovo značilo mladom Ukrajincu koji je dva puta zaustavljan na korak od ostvarenja svog sna – prvo sa ekipom Liquid u finalu ESL One Keln 2016. godine (SK Telecom slavio sa 2:0) a zatim i sa svojom sadašnjom ekipom na FACEIT Majoru 2018. u Londonu (poraz od Astralisa 2:0). S1mple je nanišanio glavnu metu i kao metak se stuštio ka cilju, ne dozvolivši nikom da ga omete.

Ipak, ovog puta nije baš sve bilo na njegovim ramenima. Iako je on iznio najveći dio tereta, čak tri igrača Na’vija se našlo u top 5 najboljih igrača turnira. Nagrada za MVP-a je potpuno očekivano i zasluženo otišla u njegove ruke. S1mple je briljirao tokom cijelog turnira, a sjajnu partiju je zaokružio sa 72 fraga u finalnoj seriji (32 na Ancient-u i 40 na Nuke-u) uz prosječan rejting od 1.54 (1.47 ukupno). To mu je pomoglo da na kraju preskoči Nika, tragičara finala, koji je držao prvo mjesto na MVP listi sve do finalne serije (1.42). Pored S1mple-a na listi su se našli i Denis „Electronic“ Šaripov (1.28) kao i, možemo slobodno reći, ruki godine – Valerij „b1t“ Vakovskij (1.27), koji su zauzeli četvrto i peto mjesto na listi. Top 5 je zaokružio igrač ekipe Vitality Matju „ZywOo“ Herbo sa rejtingom od 1.30.

Ukrajinska organizacija se tako konačno „okitila“ peharom sa Majora – jedina ekipa koja je učestvovala na svakom od dosadašnjih 16 Majora je nakon četvrtog finala konačno uspjela da dokaže potencijal koji njihova ekipa posjeduje i u svoje vitrine smjesti dugo očekivani trofej.

Za ekipe nema pretjerane pauze jer je od 24-28. novembra na programu BLAST Premiere: Fall finals 2021 serija, gdje ćemo imati priliku da u LAN-u u Kopenhagenu gledamo 8 timova: Astralis, NiP, Vitality, BIG, Faze Clan, Heroic, Liquid i Natus Vincere u borbi za 225.000 dolara i mjesto na World Finalu koje je na programu od 14-19. decembra, ujedno i poslednjem događaju za 2021. godinu.

From 0 to HERO, Clash team tactics

Šta ti treba za Clash tim iz snova?

Ever since the dawn of time, when the first man came out of a cave and lit a fire, he looked up at the sky and said: ”PC or Sony PS?”

All jokes aside, this particular question carries more depth than you think. Let's talk about it.
In addition to the PC and Sony Playstation, Nintendo Switch and Xbox One are among the most popular video game consoles. Of course, throughout the history of consoles, it is worth mentioning Atari, Sega-Mega, and others, but for the sake of the text, we will stick with newer consoles.

A noticeable difference between the PC and other consoles is the size, while our PC stands on the table and takes up much space, Sony PS can be tucked comfortably under our TV. What is better for gaming you ask? Depends on several factors.

The fact is that with its hardware, PC gives the game you are playing a chance to shine, be it through better graphics, unlimited FPS, visual overhaul, or modes for the game itself, you have a feeling of total control over what you play. Likewise, many PC enthusiasts would tell you that with a PC you can install the Emulator and play older games that were available on older consoles. You can also connect the controller to your PC, giving it some kind of comfort too. You can play your game at the same time and quickly do the Alt + Tab command if you want to play music on YouTube for example at a given moment. Other consoles are not as versatile as PCs and have limited hardware and software. 
Then why isn't everyone gaming on a PC but a large base of gamers are still playing on a Sony PS or Xbox One? It’s about comfort and accessibility.

With Sony PS and Xbox One, you are only expected to turn on the game, sit comfortably on your couch and play on a big TV screen. You don't have to think about graphic settings, modes, how much FPS you will have, and other details. Quick and easy. With a PC, it often happens that your hardware is too weak to reach the full potential of the game, and you need additional investment to be able to play the latest titles. If you are not able to upgrade your PC then you are struggling to stay in the graphics settings trying to get those golden 60 FPS and for a game to at least look graphically decent.
Sony PS and Xbox One do not have such problems, but some of their best titles are locked behind 30 FPS wall, and compared to the PC version they look degraded in terms of graphics.

An interesting fact is that many titles are made exclusively for Sony PS, Xbox One, or Nintendo Switch. **Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild** and **Super Mario Odyssey** are just some of the titles that can only be played on the Nintendo Switch, and I’m sure all PC users would enjoy those titles. Do not get us started on Sony PS titles like **God of War series**, **Uncharted series**, **The Last of Us 1 and 2**, most **Spider-Man titles**, **Bloodborne**, **Red Dead Redemption 1**, most **Metal Gear titles**, **Ghost of Tsushima**, etc. Although **God of War (2018)** arrives on PC in January, many of the titles are still not present on PC, hence being called exclusive. The reason for that is that the owners of these consoles want to have as much traffic as possible from the sale of the consoles themselves and their games, because if everyone could play those titles on a PC, then their consoles lose some kind of credibility.

However, in the last few years, the owners of these consoles have seen the potential to slowly but surely release their most popular PC titles. More games and more fun right? 

The debate over whether PC or any other console is better has taken such a swing that you can regularly see various videos and memes of the comic type related to the so-called "War of the Consoles" where fans of both sides are arguing over who is superior.

 One thing is for sure, everyone who loves video games, old or new, wants to continue playing them one way or another. Whether you are playing games on a PC or other consoles, it is only important that you enjoy it and don't pay attention to what others are saying.

Clash Of Titans

Još u davna vremena kada je prvi čovjek izašao iz pećine i zapalio vatru, pogledao je ka nebu i zapitao se: ,,Kompjuter ili Sony?’’

Sve šale na stranu, ovo pitanje ima kompleksniju pozadinu nego što mislite. Hajdemo popričati o tome.
Pored PC-ja i Sony Playstation-a kao jedne od najpopularnijih konzola za igranje video igara postoje Nintendo Switch i X-Box One. Naravno, kroz istoriju konzola valja i spomenuti Atari, Sega-Mega i ostale, ali ćemo se ovdje držati priče o novijim konzolama.

Primjetna razlika između PC-ja i ostalih konzola jeste veličina. Dok PC stoji na stolu zauzimajući veću površinu, Sony PS se može lagodno ušuškati ispod televizora. Šta je bolje za gejming pitate se? Zavisi od nekoliko faktora. 

Činjenično je stanje da svojim hardverom PC igri omogućva da zasija u punom sjaju. Bilo usljed bolje grafike i efekata, neograničenog FPS ili pak modova, imate osjećaj totalne kontrole nad onim što igrate. Isto tako mnogi PC entuzijasti bi vam rekli da možete instalirati Emulator i igrati igre koje su bile dostupne na starijim konzolama. Takođe, u stanju ste da istovremeno igrate i brzo odradite komandu Alt+Tab ako želite recimo u datom momentu pustiti muziku na YouTube. Ostale konzole nisu tako svestrane i imaju ograničen hardver i softver.
Ipak, zašto svi onda ne gejmaju na PC-ju već velika baza gejmera igra upravo na Sony PS ili X-box One? U pitanju su udobnost i pristupačnost.

Sa Sony PS i X-Box One od vas se očekuje samo da upalite igru, udobno se smjestite i igrate dok gledate u veliki TV ekran. Ne morate da razmišljate o podešavanju grafike, modovima za igru, o tome koliki ćete FPS imati i ostalim detaljima. Sve je brzo i jednostavno. 
Sa PC-em se nerijetko desi da je isuviše hardverski slab da bi izvukao puni potencijal igre i potrebna su dodatna novčana ulaganja da biste mogli da igrate najnovije naslove. Ako niste u stanju da unaprijedite svoj PC onda se mukotrpno zadržavate na grafičkim podešavanjima pokušavajući da izvučete tih zlatnih 60 FPS-a tako da igra makar izgleda grafički pristojno. 
Sony PS i X-Box One nemaju takvih problema, ali isto tako neki od njihovih najboljih naslova su zaključani iza 30 FPS-a i u odnosu na PC verziju izgledaju degradirano u grafičkom pogledu. 

Interesantna činjenica je da postoje mnogi naslovi koji su ekskluzivno napravljeni samo za Sony PS, X-Box One ili Nintendo Switch.
**Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild** i **Super Mario Odyssey** su samo neki od naslova koji se mogu isključivo igrati na Nintendo Switch, a siguran sam da bi svi PC korisnici uživali u tim naslovima. Da ne počinjem sa Sony PS naslovima kao što su **God of War serijal**, **Uncharted serijal**, **The Last of Us 1 i 2**, većina **Spiderman naslova**, **Bloodborne**, **Red Dead Redemption 1**, većina **Metal Gear** naslova, **Ghost of Tsushima** itd. Iako **God of War (2018)** u januaru stiže na PC, mnogi od naslova i dalje nisu dostupni za PC, samim time se i nazivaju ekskluzivama. Razlog tome je to što vlasnici tih konzola žele da imaju što veći promet od prodaje samih konzola i njihovih igara, jer ako bi svako mogao da igra te naslove na PC onda konzole gube na nekoj vrsti kredibiliteta.

Ipak, posljednjih nekoliko godina vlasnici konzola uviđaju potencijal u tome da najpopularnije naslove polako ali sigurno izbacuju i za PC. Više igara i više zabave, zar ne? 

Debata da li je PC ili bilo koja druga konzola bolja uzela je toliko maha da redovno možete vidjeti razne snimke i memove komičnoga tipa o takozvanom ,,Ratu Konzola’’, na kojima se ljubitelji i jedne i druge strane prepiru ko je superiorniji.

Jedna stvar je sigurna, svi koji vole video-igre, stare ili nove, žele da nastave da ih igraju na ovaj ili onaj način. Bilo da igrate igre na PC-ju ili ostalim konzolama bitno je samo da uživate u tome i ne obazirete se na ostale komentare.


Borba Titana

If you were to ask gamers around the world what is the hardest game they have ever played, you would come across a variety of answers. But one game will be heard from many mouths, and that game is **Dark Souls**.

Not so long ago in 2009, the Japanese video game development company **FromSoftware**, led by the ingenious Hidetaka Miyazaki, made a game called **Demon’s Souls** for the Sony Playstation 3 platform. The game received good reviews and fans were sure they played one of the best RPG titles ever. However, they were not ready for the next spiritual successor to Demon's Souls, which exceeded all expectations. 

**Dark Souls** came out in 2011 for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, and the following year 2012 for Microsoft Windows as well, thus encompassing a larger customer base as opposed to the previous game. FromSoftware also released **Dark Souls: Remastered** in 2018, which further polished a few little things and graphic shortcomings of the original version.

We can say with great certainty and conviction that Dark Souls is the most influential game that has inspired some of the best games in the last 10 years. The reason for this stems from many arguments. Let's go over a few basic things.

## Gameplay

**Dark Souls** introduced unique mechanics that no game had ever done before.
As with any RPG title, you gain experience by overcoming enemies, which you spend to advance your character. In **Dark Souls**, these experiences are adequately called "Souls" and are used not only for leveling but also for buying and improving various equipment that you come across through the game.\
When you first see the screen with the big red letters "You Died", and you will probably see it quickly, your character returns to the last checkpoint in the form of a campfire with a sword in the middle.\
At that point, you keep saying to yourself, "I can do it." If you see the "You Died" message again before you return to the place where you died, all that painstaking experience you earned is lost forever. Absurd isn't it ?!\
The only way to regain that experience of yours when you first die is to get to the place where you died and pick up that experience that you dropped the first time.\
The game forces you to play carefully, calmly, patiently, and calculatedly, otherwise, you will be very quick to judge that the game is too hard and cannot be finished. 
Behind every move you make, you feel the "weight" of your weapon.

## The Challenge

The difficulty of the game is fixed and cannot be changed!
All opponents, from ordinary skeletons to large dragons and huge golems are a danger to your hero. If you relax because you have mastered that same skeleton a hundred times, you will very quickly realize that you have been deceived because his two friends are waiting for you around the corner.\
Your character can very easily fall into the abyss and die automatically if you are not careful where you walk.\
Good luck navigating this cruel world because the map DOES NOT EXIST! You have to learn everything by heart where it is. You can easily get lost because the game offers you several paths that you can go. While some Dark Souls veterans would say there’s no wrong direction in the game. For someone playing for the first time, this game does not forgive unpreparedness and ignorance.\
You have absolutely no indication of where your next task is like many modern games.
The user interface is limited to your HP, Stamina, equipment, and the number of "souls" you own.\
Each weapon you use has special attack animations that you have to calculate well to get the best solution for the opponent in front of you. Also, in narrow corridors, you can't just wave a big sword in all directions because your weapon doesn't "pass" through the walls as in many previous games, but bounces and the animation of your attack are interrupted, leaving your character vulnerable. Good luck!\
Boss fights in Dark Souls are considered the best and one of the toughest fights in any game ever. Each boss has a special approach, and if you are careless and do not have adequate equipment, prepare to be defeated in one or two shots. We pay special attention to the legendary boss fight, where the game puts you in a situation where you have to fight two bosses at the same time. AT THE SAME TIME! The fast and slender **Dragon Slayer Ornstein** constantly annoys you with quick attacks while his slow teammate **Smough the Executioner** slowly approaches you and waits for the opportunity to stomp you with a big hammer. This boss fight changes a man.

## Location

The story of Dark Souls is very subtly drawn through the gameplay itself. To extract absolutely every detail of the story, you must carefully follow what the NPC is saying and read the descriptions of the objects and weapons you come across in the locations you visit while playing.\
You are in a world called Lordran. First, you start in the dungeon, then you go to some kind of sanctuary, and looking high up, almost above the clouds, you notice the huge walls that surround the mountain and you wonder what is up there? After passing through a sewer full of poisonous frogs, a swampy area full of various bloodsuckers and insects, behind a large castle awaits you a forest full of flora and fauna that is extremely hostile, catacombs full of immortal skeletons, a flooded city full of ghosts, a fortress full of traps, (and when we say full of, we mean A LOT), you go to the heights to finally see what is behind those big walls that tickled your imagination all the time while you were playing the game and looking up. A location called **Anor Londo**!

![5306444.jpg](/uploads/5306444_728bf14309.jpg)

The first time you see the Anor Londo, also called the Palace of the Gods, it will surely take your breath away, with its Gothic architecture as if it was personally designed by Antoni Gaudi and the endless sky where the sun breaks through the clouds touching the tops of monumental towers. You will certainly say to yourself: ‘’This game is phenomenal and I'm glad to play it."\
After the swamps, catacombs, sewers, and forests, Anor Londo seems like a good change doesn’t it? However, don't relax for too long, because the biggest challenges are yet to come.

## Genre of its own

After Dark Souls, many titles inspired by a very similar mechanic began to appear. And most of those games are pretty good. A new sub-genre of video games called Souls-Like has been created. When a game has a souls-like tag, it means it is more or less using the same dying mechanics. The second time you die, you lose experience.
I'm sure you've heard of many soul-like games such as **Hollow Knight, Nioh, Dead Cells, Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order, Remnant From The Ashes, Code Vein, Mortal Shell, Lords of The Fallen**, etc. which directly borrow the mechanics of Dark Souls and are characterized by the fact that they are generally a great challenge.\
FromSoftware made two more sequels after the success of Dark Souls. In addition, there is **Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice**. Not to forget **Bloodborne** which some claim is the best game made by FromSoftware. And around the corner, the **Elden Ring** is coming soon.

Dark Souls

Ako biste pitali gejmere širom svijeta koja je najteža igra koju su ikada igrali, naišli biste na raznovrsne odgovore. Ali jedno ime ćete ubjedljivo najčešće čuti - **Dark Souls**.

Ne tako davne 2009. godine japanska kompanija za razvoj video igara **FromSoftware** na čelu sa genijalnim Hidetaka Miyazaki-jem napravila je igru pod nazivom **Demon’s Souls** za Sony Playstation 3 plaformu. Igra je primila dobre kritike i fanovi su bili sigurni da su igrali jedan od najboljih RPG naslova ikada. Ipak, nisu bili spremni na sljedeći spiritualni nastavak Demon’s Souls-a, koji je nadmašio sva očekivanja.

**Dark Souls** je izašao 2011. godine za Xbox 360 i Playstation 3, a već sljedeće i za Microsoft Windows, samim tim obuhvatajući veću bazu kupaca za razliku od prethodne igre. **FromSoftware** je isto 2018. godine izbacio **Dark Souls: Remastered** čime su dodatno ispolirali par sitnica i grafičke nedostatke originalne verzije.

Sa velikom sigurnošću i ubjeđenjem mogu reći da je **Dark Souls** najuticajnija igra koja je inspirisala neke od najboljih igara u poslednjih 10 godina. Argumenata koji idu u prilog tome ima više. Pa hajde da pređemo kroz nekoliko osnovnih stvari.

## Gameplay

Kao i u svakom RPG naslovu skupljate iskustvo savladavajući neprijatelje, koje koristite da bi vaš karakter napredovao. U **Dark Souls**, to iskustvo nazivaju adekvatno ,,Dušama’’ koje služe ne samo za levelovanje već i za kupovinu i unapređivanje razne opreme na koju nailazite.\
Kada prvi put ugledate ekran sa velikim crvenim slovima ,,You Died’’, a ugledaćete ga vjerovatno brzo, vaš karakter se vraća na posljednji čekpoint u obliku logorske vatre sa mačem u sredini. U tom momentu nastavljate dalje govoreći sebi ,,mogu ja to’’. Ako opet ugledate ,,You Died’’ poruku prije nego se vratite na mjesto na kom ste poginuli, sve to mukotrpno iskustvo koje ste zaradili gubi se zauvijek. Apsurdno zar ne?!\
Jedini način da povratite iskustvo nakon što ste inicijalno poginuli je da dođete do spornog mjesta i pokupite iskustvo koje ste ispustili prvi put. Igra vas primorava da budete oprezni i kalkulisani. U suprotnom vrlo brzo ćete reći: ,,Ovo je preteško i ne može se završit’’. Takođe, nakon svakog poteza koji napravite osjećate ,,težinu’’ svog oružja.\
Dakle, morate se naviknuti da budete strpljivi i staloženi ako želite da savladate ovaj svijet.

## Izazov

Težina igre se ne može mijenjati i totalno je fiksna!\
Svi protivnici, bili oni obični kosturi ili veliki zmajevi i golemi, predstavljaju opasnost po vašeg heroja. Ako se opustite jer ste istog kostura savladali stotinu puta, vrlo brzo ćete shvatiti da ste se prevarili jer vas iza ugla čekaju njegova dva druga.\
Vaš karakter može vrlo lako da padne u ponor i automatski pogine ako ne pazite kuda hodate.\
Srećno sa navigacijom ovog okrutnog svijeta jer mapa NE POSTOJI! Morate naučiti napamet šta se i gdje nalazi. Vrlo lako se možete izgubiti jer na samom početku igra nudi nekoliko putanja kojima možete ići i samim tim krenuti pogrešnim pravcem. Iako bi neki veterani **Dark Souls-a** rekli da u toj igri nema pogrešnog pravca, za nekoga ko igra prvi put, ova igra ne oprašta nespremnost i neznanje.\
Nema apsolutno nikakvog pokazatelja gdje je sljedeći zadatak kao u mnogim modernim igrama. Korisnički interfejs je ograničen samo na vaš HP, Staminu, opremu i broj ,,duša’’ koji posjedujete.\
Svako oružje kojim se koristite ima posebne animacije napada koje morate dobro preračunati kako biste imali najbolju soluciju za protivnika pred vama.
Isto tako ako opazite malo bolje, u uskim koridorima ne možete tek tako mahati nekim velikim mačem na sve strane jer vaše oružje ne ,,prolazi’’ kroz zidove kao u mnogim prethodnim igrama, već odskače i tu se prekida animacija vašeg napada, ostavljajući karaktera ranjivim. Srećno!\
Boss borbe u **Dark Souls** se smatraju najboljim i jednim od najtežih borbi u bilo kojoj igri ikada. Svaki boss ima poseban prilaz, i ako ste neoprezni i nemate adekvatnu opremu, spremite se da budete poraženi u jedan ili dva hica.\
Posebnu pažnju zaslužuje legendarna boss borba koja vas stavlja u situaciju da se istovremeno tučete sa dva boss-a, ISTOVREMENO! **Dragon Slayer Ornstein** koji je brz i vitak vas konstantno nervira brzim udarcima dok vam njegov spor saigrač **Smough the Executioner** lagano prilazi i čeka priliku da vas ,,poklopi’’ velikim maljem. Ova boss borba mijenja čovjeka.

## Lokacija

Priča Darks Souls-a je vrlo suptilno provučena kroz sami gameplay. Da bi izvukli apsolutno svaki detalj morate pomno pratiti šta NPC govori i čitati opise predmeta i oružja na koje nailazite na lokacijama.\
Nalazite se u svijetu zvanom **Lordran**.\
Prvo počinjete u tamnici, nakon toga prelazite u neku vrstu svetilišta. Gledajući visoko ka gore, skoro iznad oblaka, primjećujete ogromne zidine koje okružuju planinu i pitate se šta je to.\
Nakon prolaska kroz kanalizaciju punu otrovnih žaba, močvarnog predjela punog raznih krvopija i insekata, iza velikog dvorca čeka vas šuma puna flore i faune koja je izuzetno neprijateljski nastrojena, katakombe pune besmrtnih kostura, poplavljeni grad pun duhova, tvrđave pune zamki. I kada kažem puno, stvarno mislim PUNO. Posle svega toga, idete u visine da konačno ugledate šta se nalazi iza tih velikih zidina koje su vam golicale maštu sve vrijeme. Lokacija zvana **Anor Londo**!

![5306444.jpg](/uploads/5306444_728bf14309.jpg)

Prvi put kada ugledate **Anor Londo** poznat i kao ,,Palata Bogova”, sigurno ćete ostati bez daha. Arhitektura koja je kao da ju je lično Antoni Gaudi projektovao, i beskrajno nebo na kom se Sunce prelama kroz oblake dodirujući vrhove monumentalnih kula definitivno će vas navesti da pomislite: ,,Ova igra je fenomenalna i drago mi je što je igram’’. Posle močvara, katakombi, kanalizacija i šuma, **Anor Londo** učiniće vam se kao dobra promjena. Ipak se nemojte opustiti zadugo, jer vas upravo ovdje čekaju najveći izazovi.

## Originalni žanr

Nakon Dark Souls-a počeli su da se pojavljuju mnogi naslovi inspirisani vrlo sličnom mehankom. I većina tih igara je poprilično dobra. Stvorio se novi pod-žanr video igara zvani **Souls-Like**. Kada neka igra ima souls-like tag, to znači da manje ili više koristi mehaniku umiranja. Posle drugog umiranja gubi se iskustvo. Siguran sam da ste čuli za mnoge souls-like igre kao što su: **Hollow Knight, Nioh, Dead Cells, Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order, Remnant From The Ashes, Code Vein, Mortal Shell, Lords of The Fallen** itd. Sve one direktno pozajmljuju mehaniku Dark Souls-a i karakteriše ih to što su generalno veliki izazov.

**FromSoftware** je posle uspjeha Dark Souls-a napravio još dva nastavka. Osim toga tu je i **Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice**. Treba spomenuti i **Bloodborne** za koji neki tvrde da je najbolja igra koju je **FromSoftware** napravio. A iza ugla nas uskoro očekuje **Elden Ring**.

![elden-ring.jpg](/uploads/elden_ring_477e947477.jpg)

Nakon svega, nadamo se da imate bolju sliku o tome šta je **Dark Souls**, kako funkcioniše i zašto je jedna od najuticajnijih igara posljednje dekade.
Igre današnjice mogu promijeniti svoju težinu pomoću samo nekoliko klikova mišem, posjeduju tone tutorijala prije nego zapravo počnete da igrate i  gdje vam je sve fino nacrtano na mapi koja služi kao moderni GPS.\
Ali jedna kompanija, **FromSoftware** na čelu sa Hidetaka Miyazaki-jem i dalje gura hrabro prkoseći svim standardima i dalje zadržavajući titulu ,,**The Dark Lord of video-games**’’. 

Siguran sam da su mnogi od vas igrali makar jednu igru iz žanrova kao što su: pucačke igre, veličanstveni RPG, realistične simulacije, adrenalinsko trkanje, sport koji volite, velike strategije, akcione avanture ili masivne onlajn RPG igre gdje su druženje i timski rad zagarantovani.

Međutim, postoji žanr koji je na svjetskoj sceni prilično tih, koji kao da tek žubori pokraj puta glavnih dešavanja. Ali, ako biste zašli u središte stvari, iznenadio bi vas vrtlog u koji se ta mirna voda brzo pretvara. To su borilačke igre. Ova vrsta definitivno nije za svakoga. Razlog tome nije samo koncept žanra, već i profil ljudi koji ga igraju.

Kada prvi put upalite neku od ovih igara, uglavnom nasumično pritiskate dugmiće nadajući se najboljem ishodu. Žustro ih pritiskajući slučajno ste napravili neki vizuelno privlačan potez, misleći vjerovatno kako ste dobri. Krenete potom da prelazite kampanju i pratite priču. Uvježbavate nove poteze i napredujete, pobjeđujete glavne negativce bez ičije pomoći. Vaš borac s lijeve strane ekrana protiv ostatka svijeta. Ohrabreni svojim podvizima sigurni ste da ćete biti prijetnja nekome onlajn. Spremni ste za pravu tuču!\
Posle prve onlajn borbe shvatite kako su se neki zlikovci osjećali dok su se tukli protiv Gokua iz “Zmajeve Kugle”. Osjećate se nemotivisanim da nastavite dalje i onda tu igru nikada više i ne dotaknete. Ili ne? Tek tada prorade motivacija i inat i tu priča tek počinje?

Najprepoznatljivije igre ovog žanra su: **Tekken, Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Guilty Gear, Dragon Ball Fighter Z, Killer Instinct, Smash** i još mnoge druge. 
Onlajn komponenta ovih igara je izuzetno brutalna i ne prašta početnicima.
Kao igrač morate biti spremni godinama posvećeno vježbati da biste izvukli neku vrstu svog potencijala.

U timskim igrama kao što su **Dota 2, CS:GO, Valorant** itd. potenciraju se timski rad i brzina razmišljanja. Igrajući njih, mislimo ili se makar nadamo da smo upravo mi najbolji igrač u timu i da svaki gubitak znači da je tim nešto skrivio prije nego mi sami, zar ne? U borilačkim igrama postojite samo vi i vaš protivnik. Ne postoji RNG, tim, niko vam neće pomoći i ishod igre zavisi isključivo od vaše vještine i nadmudrivanje protivnika. 

![Fight-02-1200x540.jpg](/uploads/Fight_02_1200x540_f0f19a71f7.jpg)

Proces ulaženja u ovaj svijet počinje biranjem karaktera koji vam se čini zanimljivim i nastojanjem da ga što više usavršite.\
Od vas se očekuju nevjerovatna upornost i istrajnost ako želite da parirate i nadmašite protivnike onlajn. Jedan od bitnijih faktora jeste da naučite takozvane kombo-e  koji mogu biti naporni u početku za vaše prste a i memoriju, jer neki od poteza zahtijevaju stiskanje istovremeno po čak nekoliko dugmića. Vrlo često naći ćete se u situaciji u kojoj ste od 3 sata igranja, 2 proveli u trening sobi vježbajući komboe i ostale finese, a samo sat vremena izdvojili za onlajn borbe.\
Počećete da uviđate da ove igre imaju dubinu koju niste ni slutili i to je obično momenat u kom mnogi kažu da ovo nije za njih i posegnu za nečim drugim. Oni kojima se svidi koncept žanra i budu uporni biće iznimno nagrađeni i tražiće još.\
Kao referencu ću koristiti igru Tekken 7 koju već godinama igram.

Kada vas protivnik obori na zemlju, imate čak 10 različitih načina da se podignete! U procesu blokiranja udaraca možete ,,kazniti’’ protivnika ako je neoprezan i završiti rundu. Morate odrediti distancu na kojoj se nalazite od zida da biste uspjeli da napravite optimalan kombo. Pored razmjene udaraca morate posebno obratiti pažnju na vaše kretanje koje je isto ključno tokom mečeva, čak toliko ključno da postoji posebna vrsta kretanja koja se zove ,,Korean Backdash’’ i ako želite da je savladate, treba da je vježbate danima, čak i nedjeljama. Svaki karakter ima preko 80 poteza. Na primjer, jedan borac ih posjeduje i preko 200! Zamislite količinu vježbanja i memorisanja svih tih poteza i primjene istih u onlajn meču. Prisutno je 54 karaktera u igri i svaki od njih ima posebnu borilačku vještinu.

![Fight-03-1200x540.jpg](/uploads/Fight_03_1200x540_5149d8c88b.jpg)

Svjetska zajednica borilačkih igara je veoma burna i postoje razni video snimci na internetu koji pokazuju koliko su sami mečevi napeti, puni maestralnih momenata i energije. Jedan od najpoznatijih turnira za borilačke igre EVO, ima posjećenost od preko 14 000 ljudi, i taj broj svake godine samo raste.

Ugledate velikim slovima ,,K.O’’ po prvi put u onlajn meču i vaš dopaminski ispunjen mozak vrišti od sreće! Svjesni ste da ste vrijedni toga. Da ste vrijedni da budete jedan jedini i pravi borac!

Priprema, pozor, bori se!

I'm sure many of you have played at least one game from genres such as shooting games, magnificent RPGs, realistic simulations, adrenaline racing, sports you love, grand strategies, action adventures, or massive online RPG games where socializing and teamwork is guaranteed.

However, there is a genre that is quite quiet on the world stage, which seems to be just murmuring along the path of major events. But if you were to get to the center of things, you would be surprised by the vortex into which that calm water quickly turns. These are fighting games.

This type of game is not for everyone. The reason for this is not only in the concept of the genre but also in the people who play them.\
When you start one of these games for the first time, you mostly press random buttons hoping for the best outcome. By pressing them vigorously, you accidentally made some visually appealing move of one of the characters, thinking to yourself how good you are at it. You go over the campaign and follow the story. You practice new moves, and you progress throughout the game, defeating villains without anyone's help. Your fighter on the left side of the screen against the rest of the world. Encouraged by your exploits, you are sure to be a threat to someone online. You are ready for a real fight!\
After the first online fight, you understand how some villains felt when they fought against Goku from the Dragon Ball series. You feel unmotivated to move on and then never touch that game again.\
The most recognizable games of this genre are Tekken, Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Guilty Gear, Dragon Ball Fighter Z, Killer Instinct, Smash, and many more. The online component of these games is extremely brutal and does not forgive beginners. You as a player have to be willing to practice hard, even for years, to pull out that potential lurking within you.\
In team games such as Dota 2, CS: GO, Valorant, etc., teamwork and thinking fast are emphasized, but we all know that we are the best player in a given team, right? And that every loss means that the team did something wrong and that we are flawless, right?\
In fighting games, there is only you and your opponent. There is no RNG, there is no team that would help you, and the outcome of the game depends exclusively on your skills and outwitting your opponent.

![Fight-02-1200x540.jpg](/uploads/Fight_02_1200x540_f0f19a71f7.jpg)

The process of entering this world begins with choosing a character that you find interesting and striving to perfect it as best as you can. You are expected to have incredible persistence and perseverance if you want to beat and defeat your opponents online.\
One of the most important factors is to learn the so-called "combos" which can be exhausting at first, both for fingers and memory because some of the moves require pressing several buttons at the same time. Very often you will find yourself in situations where out of 3 hours of playing, 2 will be spent in the training room, practicing combos and other finesse, and only an hour(if so!) will be set aside for online fights.\
You will begin to realize that these games have a depth you never dreamed of and it is usually the moment when many people say that this is not for them, and to turn to something else. Those who like the concept of this genre and are persistent in drawing out all possible details will be extremely rewarded, and as after your first kiss, you will ask for more.

As a reference, I will use the Tekken 7 game I have been playing for years. 
When your opponent knocks you to the ground, you have as many as 10 different ways to get up! In the process of blocking blows, you can "punish" the opponent if he is careless about what he's doing and finish the round. You have to determine the distance between you and the wall, in order to be able to make an optimal combo.\
In addition to exchanging punches, you have to pay special attention to your movement, which is also crucial during matches, even so, crucial that there is a special type of movement called "Korean Backdash", and if you want to master it, you need to practice it for days, even weeks. Each character has over 80 moves, and some of them even over 200 moves! Imagine the amount of practice and memorization of all these moves and their application in an online match.\
There are 54 characters in the game and each of them has a special martial art technique.

![Fight-03-1200x540.jpg](/uploads/Fight_03_1200x540_5149d8c88b.jpg)

The world community of fighting games is very turbulent and there are many, many videos on the internet that show how tense the matches themselves are, full of masterful moments and energy. One of the most famous fighting game tournaments is EVO, which is attended by over 14,000 people, and every year that number only grows. 
You see the capital letters "K.O" for the first time in an online match and your dopamine-filled brain screams with happiness! You are aware that you are worthy. That you are worthy to be the only and true fighter!




Ready, Set, Fight!

**Blizzard** has made one of the most influential MMO titles ever. Of course, we are talking about **World of Warcraft**.\
Since 2004, this game still stands as an old and decrepit emperor on his throne, waiting for a worthy successor. Many tried to overthrow the emperor from that throne, but without success.\
From the distant country of South Korea in 2019 by **Smilegate RPG**, that throne was challenged by a young and strong fighter called **Lost Ark**.

Tandems like **WOW** and **Diablo** are hard to defeat. As we played both **WOW** and **Diablo 3**, we can say with certainty that Blizzard knows what they are doing. However, **Blizzard** has had turbulent internal problems in recent years. Both because of the various lawsuits that are gaining momentum and because of the inattention to the wishes of their fans when they announced **Diablo Immortal** for mobile phones. They fight with themselves and against others. Perfect time to snatch the crown right?

**Lost Ark** was surprisingly unsuccessful when it came out in Korea, but the management of **Smilegate RPG** listened carefully to the fans of the game and dignifiedly took first place as the most played MMORPG in Korea. The big advantage that **Lost Ark** has over other MMO games is that it is free. Of course, there are microtransactions and other types of gambling finesse that feed our appetite for faster and prettier progress. In the Far East, the so-called *"gacha"* mechanisms for microtransactions, which are incorporated in many of their online games, are extremely widespread. **Lost Ark** is aware of this and makes every effort to work on innovations and circumvent such practices. Of course, if you have deep pockets, you can get various benefits by buying one of the possible "Founders Packs" that vary in price.

![LostArk_HP_BG_SM.jpg](/uploads/Lost_Ark_HP_BG_SM_2e6cb01d88.jpg)

We had the opportunity to play the Closed Beta game which lasted from 11/04/2021 to 11/11/2021 and I can say with certainty that we have a potential king of MMO titles.

The first thing you will notice is that the graphics are flawless and polished to the maximum. It is common knowledge that many MMORPGs are not blessed with beautiful graphics, which is not the case with **Lost Ark**. In addition to graphics, attack animations, and character magic are a special treat and are visually impressive.\
The sound of the game contributes to these heavy blows, so you will feel and realize how powerful your every move is. You expect standard screen oversaturation with effects when you have a big fight, but the truth is that the animations and magic of the attacks are extremely sharp and very clearly visible, so you know at any time where your character is and what is happening on the screen.

The character and environment design will instantly remind you of an anime movie or series. Expect to see lots of beautiful anime girls and old muscular warriors, just like your favorite anime!\
The leveling system is as classic as any other MMO title. Beat the chickens until you are strong enough to challenge the Devil himself.\
The story of the game is suitable for the genre in which the game is set with a couple of standard twists and turns. Demons-bad guys, kill demons, find the legendary Ark object and save the world.\
This is an isometric RPG and as such you will play it most of the time except when talking to NPCs and watching cutscenes.

The classes are as follows: **Warrior, Fighter, Gunner, Mage, and Assassin**. You can assume that all of them have their own specialization and Smilegate RPG promises to make more classes.

The game also emphasizes that in addition to the main character you are playing with, it would be convenient to play another character at the same time, because experience and progress are shared in some cases. Of course, you can play only one character but you will miss out on faster progression and other benefits.\
The real game starts when you reach 50 levels of your character. Until then, the game is relatively easy, after that you start to realize how strong and capable your character really is to cope with what awaits him.\
Expect the best "Raid" missions ever because they are full of great moments and can be extremely difficult.

It is interesting that the story does not end there, but continues in the so-called "End Game" mode, where you can discover what is the true ending.\
Of course, in addition to **PvE**, there is a **PvP** mode that is made in the form of an arena where the players are extremely competitive and very much trained.
Still, **PvE** is a lot more fun in our opinion, especially if you have company to play with.

Are you tired of old and dilapidated graphics in MMO titles? Are you bored with **WoW**? Are you looking for something new and fresh?
Then log in to **Steam** on **March 31, 2022**, and install **Lost Ark** for free. I am sure that the revolution of MMO games awaits us with **Lost Ark** and that every next MMO title will follow in the footsteps of the new king.

World of Warcraft has some serious competition

**Blizzard** je bez presedana napravio jedan od najuticajnijih MMO naslova ikada. Naravno govorimo o **World of Warcraft**.\
Još od 2004 godine ova igra i dalje stoji kao stari i oronuli car na svojem tronu, čekajući dostojnog naslednika. Mnogi su pokušavali da svrgnu cara sa tog trona, ali bezuspješno.\
Iz daleke zemlje Južne Koreje 2019 godine od strane **Smilegate RPG**, taj tron je bio izazvan mladim i snažnim borcem zvanim **Lost Ark**.

Tandem kao što su **WoW** i **Diablo** je teško poraziti. Kao neko ko je igrao obije igrice, evidentno je da **Blizzard** zna šta radi. Ipak, **Blizzard** poslednjih godina ima turbulentnih internih problema. Što zbog raznih tužbi koje uzimaju maha, tako i zbog nepažnje za željama njihovih fanova kada su najavili **Diablo** Immortal za mobilne telefone. Bore se sami sa sobom i protiv drugih. Savršeno vrijeme za oteti krunu zar ne?

**Lost Ark** je začuđujuće bio neuspješan kada je izašao u Koreji, ali tim **Smilegate RPG** je pomno slušao fanove igre i dostojanstveno zauzeo prvo mjesto kao najigraniji MMORPG u Koreji. Veliku prednost koju **Lost Ark** posjeduje u odnosu na druge MMO igre jeste što je apsolutno besplatna. Naravno prisutne su mikrotransakcije i ostale vrste kockarskih finesa koje nam hrane potrebu za bržim i ljepšim napredovanjem. Na Dalekom Istoku su izuzetno rasprostranjene takozvane *,,gacha’’* mehanizmi za mikrotransakcije koji su inkorporirani u mnogim online igrama. **Lost Ark** je svjestan toga i maksimalno se trudi da radi na inovacijama i zaobiđe takvu praksu. Naravno ako imate duboke džepove možete dobiti razne benefite time što ćete kupiti jedan od mogućih ,,Founders Pack’’ koji variraju u cijeni.

![LostArk_HP_BG_SM.jpg](/uploads/Lost_Ark_HP_BG_SM_2e6cb01d88.jpg)

Imali smo priliku da igramo Zatvorenu Betu igre koja je trajala od 04.11.2021 do 11.11.2021 i možemo sa sigurnošću reći da imamo potencijalnog kralja MMO naslova.

Prvo što ćete primijetiti jeste da je grafika besprekorna i ispolirana do maksimuma. Opšte je poznato da mnoge MMORPG ne krasi lijepa grafika što definitivno nije slučaj sa **Lost Ark**. Pored grafike, animacije napada i magija karaktera predstavljaju poseban šmek i vizuelno su impresivni. Zvuk igre pridonosi tim teškim udarcima, tako da svaki vaš potez ćete osjetiti i shvatiti koliko je moćan.\
Očekujete standardno prezasićenje ekrana efektima kada imate neku veliku borbu, ali istina je ta da animacije i magije napada su izuzetno izoštrene i vrlo jasno vidljive, tako da u bilo kojem trenutku znate gdje vam se karakter nalazi i šta se dešava na ekranu.

Dizajn karaktera i okruženja će vas momentalno podsjetiti na neki anime film ili seriju. Očekujte da vidite mnogo lijepih anime djevojaka i starih mišićavih ratnika, baš kao vaš omiljeni anime!\
Sistem napredovanja je klasičan kao i svaki drugi MMO naslov. Udarajte kokoške dok ne budete dovoljno jaki da izazovete samog Đavola.\
Priča same igre je pogodna za žanr u kojem se nalazi, sa par standardnih peripetija i preokreta. Demoni-loši, ubiti demone, pronaći legendarni Ark objekat i spasiti svijet.\
Ovo je izometrijski RPG i kao takavog ćete ga igrati većinu vremena bez kada pričate s NPC-jevima i gledate odigrane scene.

Klase su sledeće. **Ratnik, Borac, Topnik, Mag i Assassin**. Možete pretpostaviti da svako od njih ima svoju specijalizaciju i **Smilegate RPG** obećava da će napraviti još klasa.

Igra takođe naglašuje da pored glavnog karaktera s kojim igrate bi bilo pogodno da uporedo igrate i drugog karaktera jer se iskustvo i napredovanje dijeli u nekim slučajevima. Naravno možete apsolutno igrati samo jednog karaktera ali ćete propustiti brže napredovanje i ostale benefite.\
Prava igra počinje kada dođete do 50 nivoa vašeg karaktera. Do tada je igra relativno laka, nakon toga počinjete da uviđate koliko je vaš karakter zapravo jak i sposoban da se izbori sa onim što ga očekuje.\
Očekujte najbolje ,,Raid’’ misije ikada jer su pune sjajnih momenata i izuzetno znaju biti teške.

Interesantno je da se priča ne završava tu, već se nastavlja u takozvanom ,,End Game’’ modu gdje možete otkriti šta se krije iza svega.\
Naravno pored **PvE**, prisutan je **PvP** mod koji je napravljen u obliku arene gdje su igrači izuzetno kompetitivni i vrlo uvježbani.\
Ipak, **PvE** je po našem mišljenju mnogo zabavniji, pogotovo ako imate društvo s kojim možete igrati.

Da li vam je dosadila stara i oronula grafika u MMO naslovima? Da li vam je **WoW** dosadio? Da li tražite nešto novo i svježe?\
Onda se ulogujte u Steam 31.03.2022 i instalirajte Lost Ark potpuno besplatno. Siguran sam da nas sa Lost Ark očekuje revolucija MMO igara i da će svaki sledeći MMO naslov pratiti stope novoga kralja.

World of Warcraft ima ozbiljnu konkurenciju

Black Friday, Christmas, Autumn sales, and New Year. As 2021 enters its final phase, gamers around the world are eagerly awaiting various discounts and gifts. That game you liked when it came out a year ago and the price of  60$ was too high for you, now you can get it for 20$.

If you need a guide on where to find the best discounts and when we are here to help!

If you’re a die-hard PC enthusiast you definitely won’t look any further than **Steam Winter Sales**. **Steam** is currently offering discounts on all games in its so-called **"Autumn Sales"** event which will last until December 1, 2021, and serves as an overture for upcoming discounts. If you are impatient and a game has caught your eye, now is the time to grab it.\
But if you are patient enough, wait for the **Steam Winter Sales** event when the biggest discounts await you. Every year, the **Steam** team carefully keeps the exact dates of these events, but we can expect that the Winter Sale will last **from the end of December to the beginning of January**, so be prepared.

If you are spending time at other online stores, it is worth mentioning the** Epic Games Store**. **Epic Games** has had a tradition for several years where they offer various titles completely free in addition to various discounts. Therefore, you can expect the best games to be offered for free during the New Year. The current game that is on offer and that caught our eye is definitely **The Hunter: Call of the Wild**. But to be able to catch the next free game you have to follow the **Epic Games Store** events because those free games don’t keep that status for more than a week. 

As for **Battle.net**, don't expect much from Blizzard because every New Year these discounts in most cases do not exceed **30%**.\
EA made a good move when it integrated its Origin platform into **Steam** about a year ago. So there are discounts on Origin, but only on some of their exclusives, which are unfortunately not worth playing. So we recommend that you avoid **Origin** this year.

For fans of **World of Tanks, World of Warships and World of Warplanes, Wargaming.net** with its **Game Center** platform offers plenty of bonuses in the form of discounts and gifts like premium days, gold coins, and free vehicles every New Year. We pay special attention to **World of Tanks** players who can expect special bonuses concerning how long they play the game. So if you’re an old veteran of this game and haven’t played it in a long time, it’s time to blow that dust off your old Wargaming.net profile to get the gifts you deserve.

If your **Sony Playstation** is your primary gaming console then you can expect discounts ranging from **20% to 80%** on various titles in early December. of course, all you have to do is go to the official **Playstation Store** site and see what the **Sony Entertainment** team has set aside for you this year.

The same goes for the **Xbox** users who can look forward to this year as every next year because **Microsoft**, with its xbox.com site, regularly provides discounts of up to **70%** during the holidays. The sale usually always starts a day or two before Christmas so be prepared to type in xbox.com then.

If you own a **Nintendo Switch** then you can rely on **Nintendo's eShop** which at the end of December offers one of the most popular titles of today for exceptional discounts of up to **80%**. 

The time of giving, gifts and the festive atmosphere makes us think positively to some extent, right? The whole world is currently limited with the holiday events because of the Covid-19 virus and the World Health Organization continues to recommend that we stay home whenever we can. Maybe right now is the right time to seize the opportunity for that game that has been constantly on your mind for years and without remorse to play it on December 31st at 00:00 next to your favorite drink and pizza.

Crni Petak, Božić, Jesenji popusti i Nova Godina. Dok 2021. godina ulazi u svoju završnu fazu tako i gejmeri širom svijeta željno iščekuju razne popuste i poklone. Baš ona igra koja vam se sviđala kada je izašla prije godinu dana i cijena od 60€ vam je bila previsoka, uskoro je možete nabaviti za 20€

Ako vam je potreban vodič gdje da nađete najbolje popuste i kada, tu smo da vam pomognemo!

Ako ste okoreli PC entuzijasta definitivno nećete gledati dalje od **Steam Winter Sales**. **Steam** u ovom momentu nudi popuste na sve igre u svojem takozvanom **,,Autumn Sales’**’ koji će trajati do 01.12.2021 i služi kao uvertira za predstojeće popuste. Ako ste nestrpljivi i baš vam je neka igra zapala za oko sada je vrijeme da je ugrabite.\
Ali ako ste dovoljno strpljivi, sačekajte događaj **Steam Winter Sales** kada vas očekuju i najveći popusti. Svake godine **Steam** tim oprezno čuva tačne datume tih događaja ali možemo očekivati da će Zimska rasprodaja trajati od kraja decembra do početka januara, tako da budite u pripravnosti.

Ako ste ipak neko provodi više vremena na drugim internet prodavnicama, valja spomenuti **Epic Games Store**. **Epic Games** već nekoliko godina ima tradiciju gdje nude razne naslove potpuno besplatno pored raznih popusta. Samim tim možete očekivati vrhunske igre da će se nuditi besplatno u vrijeme **Nove godine**. Trenutna igra koja je u toj ponudi a zapala nam je za oko je definitivno **The Hunter: Call of the Wild**. Ali da bi uspjeli uhvatiti sledeću besplatnu igru morate pratiti **Epic Games Store** dešavanja jer te besplatne igre ne zadržavaju taj status duže od nedjelju dana.

Što se tiče Battle.net od Blizzard-a nemojte puno očekivati jer svake Nove godine ti popusti u većini slučajeva nisu veći od **30%.**\
**EA** je napravio dobar potez kada je prije nekih godinu dana integrisao svoju platformu **Origin u Steam**. Tako da na **Origin** jesu prisutni popusti ali samo na neke njihove ekskluzive koje nažalost nisu vrijedne igranja. Tako da vam preporučujemo da izbjegnete Origin ove godine.

Za ljubitelje **World of Tanks, World of Warships i World of Warplanes**, **Wargaming.net** sa svojom platformom **Game Center** svake Nove godine nudi obilje bonusa u vidu popusta i poklona u vidu premijum dana, zlatnika i besplatnih vozila. Posebnu pažnju izdvajamo za **World of Tanks** igrače koji mogu očekivati posebne bonuse u odnosu na to koliko dugo igraju igru. Tako ako ste stari veteran ove igre a niste je dugo igrali, vrijeme je da dunete tu prašinu sa vašeg starog **Wargaming.net**  profila dobijete poklone koje zaslužujete.

Ako vam je **Sony Playstation** primarna konzola za gejming onda definitivno možete početkom decembra očekivati popusti koji rangiraju od **20% do 80%** na razne naslove. naravno sve što treba da uradite jeste da odete na na oficijalni **Playstation Store** sajt i pogledate šta je tim iz **Sony Entertainment** izdvojio ove godine za vas.

**Xbox** korisnici se isto imaju čemu radovati ove godine kao i svake naredne jer je **Microsoft** sa svojim xbox.com sajtom redovno obezbijeđivao popuste do **70%** tokom praznika. Rasprodaja obično uvijek počinje dan ili dva prije Božića tako da budite spremni da tada ukuckate xbox.com.

Ako ste vlasnik **Nintendo Switch-a** onda se definitivno možete pouzdati u Nintendov eShop koji krajem decembra nudi jedne od najpopularnijih naslova današnjice za izuzetne popuste do čak **80%**.

Vrijeme darivanja, poklona i praznične atmosfere nas u nekoj mjeri tjera da razmišljamo pozitivno zar ne? Čitav svijet je trenutno ograničen sa prazničnim događajima povodom Covid-19 virusa i Svjetska Zdrastvena Organizacija nam i dalje preporučuje da ostanemo kod kuće kada god to možemo. Možda je upravo sada pravo vrijeme da ugrabite priliku za tom nekom igrom koja vam je stalno u mislima već godinam i bez griže savjesti igrati je 31. decembra u 00:00 sati pored vašeg omiljenog pića i pice.

Nova godina, novi popusti i pokloni!

Back in 1996, Gabe Newell, programmer, co-founder, and president of video game and digital distribution company Valve had the vision to present video games to the world in a way we will remember for a long time. From the first hit like Half-Life 1 and  2 to Portal 1 and 2, Counter-Strike series, Left 4 Dead 1 and 2,  Artifact to buying a license for Dota 2, it seems like Valve is making all the best moves when it comes to the gaming scene.

When Valve announced Steam Deck on July 15, 2021, many were skeptical about the performance of the console itself. How can something relatively small have the power of an entire PC? Will it have frame drops? Can I run absolutely every game in my Steam library? Surely the commands will not be intuitive? The price must be astronomical, right? Gabe Newell assures us that Steam Deck has everything that was promised, and even more.

At first glance, the Steam Deck looks like the big brother of Sony's PSP with additional buttons, a touchpad and a larger screen. Comes in an elegant black design and bag. It has all the peripherals that a PC has. It can also be attached to a large TV screen, Bluetooth is present, which allows it to play via mouse and keyboard, headphones, fighting sticks, etc. It is also able to stream all live games. 

In partnership with AMD, Valve has created a special APU (Accelerated Processing Unit), which enables adequate playing of the latest AAA titles. An interesting addition is the Gyro, which allows you to aim better in shooting games, physically positioning the console itself instead of aiming with buttons or a touchpad. 

The question is, how long can we actually use a Steam Deck before its battery runs out? If we consider its strength and performance, then relatively short? Console technicians have announced that it depends entirely on us. Inside this beast is a 40WH battery that allows 2-3 hours of playing any game. In case we use the console for some smaller 2D games, surfing the net or streaming, we can expect it to work 7-8 hours. I'm sure 2-3 hours of gaming won't be enough for someone who is constantly on the move. But we all know that kids, after their parents send them to bed, will pull the Steam Deck under the pillow and attach it to the charger to constantly play their favorite game.

We as customers, in addition to performance, are most interested in price, aren't we? Valve has officially announced that Steam Deck will be available in 3 different prices:

## 419€ 
- 64GB eMMC internal storage 
- Carrying case

## 549€ 
- 256Gb NVMe SSD internal storage 
- Faster Storage 
- Carrying case 
- Exclusive Steam Community Profile Bundle 

## 679€ 
- 512GB NVMe SSD interne memorije 
- Najbrže skladištenje 
- Premijum nereflektujuće urezano staklo
- Ekskluzivna torbica za nošenje
- Ekskluzivna tema virtuelne tastature

![q0bc35wg.jpg](/uploads/q0bc35wg_aef9055d86.jpg)

We believe that the next step for Valve is to increase the console's internal memory capacity. because if we take into account that Call of Duty Modern Warfare Warzone takes up a hefty 175GB of memory or Red Dead Redemption 2 almost 150GB, it puts us in a situation of frequently deleting games. And for some gamers, one game is good for today, but tomorrow he may want to try something new.

The prices are extremely reasonable when compared to the current market situation of GPUs, CPUs and other PC hardware components.

We can expect Steam Deck in December 2021, as Valve officially announced. The perfect New Year's gift for someone who spends their free time playing video games. However, we need to be aware that once the console is available, it will probably sell out quickly, so you need to be persistent and refresh that buying page.

Valve has never disappointed us, excluding Artifact, therefore we believe that Steam Deck will be the next hit that will be on the shelves of every gamer.

Three months ago, a new gaming brand was founded - 3Hills, which includes eSport and game development studio. In such a short period, we managed to make significant results.

We have formed a team of designers, game development programmers, and game artists. We will soon release our first game "Starblind".

We have already organized six eSport tournaments and launched our gaming website while achieving a significant organic reach on social networks, which speaks of the community's interest in what we do and the content we create every day.

On top of all that, 3Hills has been chosen among seven selected startups by the Capital in collaboration with ICT Cortex. To have an opportunity to present your brand at the biggest technology event "Web Summit" is of great importance and this is why.

The whole experience was amazing. In one place you see many people who came to present their ideas, lecturers, people from various industries, and investors. Beside all that, they are all open to sharing their experiences and ambitions. Such an atmosphere motivates you to present your business in the best possible way, and thus make it even more successful.

![IMG-31e362f13fe78dd59a95ce58d83b13f6-V.jpg](/uploads/IMG_31e362f13fe78dd59a95ce58d83b13f6_V_9a44dacc22.jpg)

We went to the Web Summit to present 3Hills as a new gaming brand. And our primary motive was to put Montenegro on the map of the industry with this pioneering endeavor.

This event lasted four days. The second was the date when we presented our brand to all those interested in what we are doing and the goals we are striving for. Many showed  interest for our game, which is a great thing, considering the fact that this is our first project.

On the third and fourth days, we had more time to dedicate to the lectures that were held in different parts of the Altice Arena, where the whole event was organized.

I would like to single out a couple of them: **"Confessions of a gaming founder"** - in which **Jefferson Valadare** talked about the challenges faced by game developers in the beginning and ways to overcome them. Then **"How FaZe Clan became the voice of youth culture"** where the lecturer was **COO Jaci Hays**. It contained hype video material showing their beginnings and what they created. Now that is an eSport organization worth over 300 million dollars. My biggest surprise was the speech of one of the most famous MMA fighters **Georges St-Pierre** in  **"GSP & Unity"** - where he and **Peter Moore** talked about the combination of sports and Unity program. Also, the benefits this program brings to sports. At the same time, we met representatives of interesting startups who  exhibited there and we exchanged our experiences. We talked mostly with colleagues from the eSport and video game industry.

Although the weather was a bit rainy at the beginning, it didn't stop us from visiting the center of Lisbon. Maybe it was the most painful for Goran to go uphill and downhill through the city, unprepared with inadequate shoes, but I'm sure he doesn't regret it despite the blisters he probably still feels :D
Later the weather was a bit nicer, so we used that to go out and get to know the night side of the city. It was quite challenging to stay until late at night after a full day at the Web Summit but it was worth it. One of the most attractive places at night was Pink street which is also the liveliest part of the city. There are bars lined up next to each other on both sides. There we spent time together with our colleagues from other Montenegrin startups and the team from ICT Cortex and the Capital. 

Near the mentioned street there is a restaurant "Bairrices" which is a hidden gem of the city where we had the opportunity to try 22 traditional meals of Portugal along with desserts. A warm recommendation for all those who find themselves in Lisbon. :)

The general impression is that this was a great experience which, in addition to getting to know one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, brought new contacts and knowledge about the industry. 
Hence, we will use a lot of good energy in what we do for our community while raising awareness of the industry we entered recently, and have already stepped deep into!

Now with even more knowledge, we are moving on to the next chapter in the development of 3Hills as an eSport brand and as a new name in the world of Game Development!

Adventure awaits us!

3Hills Web Summit expedition

Prije tri mjeseca osnovan je novi gaming brend - 3Hills koji obuhvata eSport i game development studio. Za ovako kratak period uspjeli smo da napravimo značajne rezultate. 

Oformili smo tim dizajnera, game development programera i game artista. Uskoro objavljujemo i našu prvu igricu “Starblind”.

Organizovali smo već šest eSport turnria i lansirali naš gaming website, dok smo na društvenim mrežama ostvarili značajan organski doseg, što govori o zainteresovanosti zajednice za ono što radimo i za sadržaj koji svakodnevno kreiramo. 

Povrh svega toga 3Hills je izabran da bude jedan od sedam odabranih startupova od strane Glavnog Grada u saradnji sa ICT Cortexom koji su imali priliku da predstavite svoj brend na najvećem tehnološkom događaju “Web Summit” što je bilo od velikog značaja a sad ću vam reći i zašto.

Cjelokupan doživljaj je nevjerovatan. Na jednom mjestu vidiš more ljudi koji su došli da predstavljaju svoje ideje, predavače, ljude iz raznih industrija i investitore. I svi su otvoreni da razmijene svoja iskustva i ambicije. Takva atmosfera te dodatno motiviše da svoj biznis predstaviš što bolje, a samim tim učiniš ga još uspješnijim.

![IMG-31e362f13fe78dd59a95ce58d83b13f6-V.jpg](/uploads/IMG_31e362f13fe78dd59a95ce58d83b13f6_V_9a44dacc22.jpg)

Na Web Summit smo pošli sa ciljem da predstavimo 3Hills kao novi gaming brend a naš primarni motiv je bio da ovim pionirskim poduhvatom ucrtamo Crnu Goru na mapu industrije. 

Ovaj događaj je trajao četiri dana a već drugog je bio datum našeg izlaganja gdje smo prezentovali svim zainteresovanim ono čime se bavimo i ciljeve kojima stremimo. Bilo je poprilično interesovanje, najviše za našu igricu što je odlična stvar pogotovo s obzriom na činjenicu da nam je to  prvi projekat. 

Već trećeg i četvrtog dana smo imali više vremena da se posvetimo predavanjima koja su se održavala na različitim djelovima Altice Arene, u kojoj je cjelokupan događaj bio održan. 

Izdvojio bih par njih: **“Confessions of a gaming founder”** - s u kom je pričao **Jefferson Valadare** o izazovima sa kojima se susrijeću game developeri u početku i načinima kako ih prevazići. Zatim  **“How FaZe Clan became the voice of youth culture”** gdje je predavač bila **COO Jaci Hays**, koji je sadržao hajp video materijal gdje prikazuju njihove početke i ono u šta su stvorili, a to je eSport organizacija vrijedna preko 300 miliona dolara. Moje najveće iznenađenje je bio govor jednog od najpoznatijih MMA boraca **Georges St-Pierrea** na  **“GSP & Unity”** talku - gdje su on i **Peter Moore** pričali o spoju sporta i Unity programa i prednostima koje ovaj program donosi sportu. Ujedno smo se upoznavali sa ljudima ispred interesantih startupova, koji su tih dana izlagali sa kojima smo razmjenjivali iskustva, pogotovo sa kolegama iz eSport i video game industrije.

Iako je bilo malo lošije vrijeme u početku nije nas spriječilo da obiđemo i centar Lisabona. Možda je Goranu bilo najbolnije da onako nespreman u cipelama obiđe uzbrdo i nizbrdo dobar dio grada ali sam siguran da ne žali i pored žuljeva koje sigurno još uvijek osjeća :D

Kasnije je vrijeme bilo nešto ljepše pa smo koristili to da izađemo i upoznamo noćnu varijantu grada. Bilo je poprilično izazovno ostati do kasnije uveče nakon čitavog dana na Web Summitu ali svakako vrijedno. Centar druženja noću je bio Pink street. Bukvalno kao što kaže sam naziv u pitanju je Roza ulica u kojoj se nalaze kafići poređani jedni do drugih sa obje strane što je ujedno i najživlji dio grada. Tu smo zajedno sa našim kolegama iz ostalih crnogorskih startupova i ekipom iz ICT Cortexa i Glavnog Grada  provodili vrijeme.

U blizini pomenute ulice nalazi se restoran “Bairrices” koji je skriveni dragulj grada u kojem smo imali mogućnost da probamo 22 tradicionalna jela Portugala zajedno sa dezertima. Topla preporuka za sve one koji se budu našli u Lisabonu. :)

Generalni utisk svega je da je ovo bilo sjajno iskustvo koje je pored upoznavanja jednog od najljepših gradova Evrope donijelo nova poznanstva i saznanja o industriji. Samim tim i dosta dobre energije koju ćemo usmjeriti u to što radimo za našu zajednicu, podižući svijest o industriji u koju smo se od nedavno upustili, a već poprilično zaplivali!

Sada sa još više znanja prelazimo na sledeći korak razvoja 3Hillsa kao eSport brenda i kao novo ime u svijetu Game Developmenta!

Avantura nas čeka!

Podgorica, December 10 - A year after the first Montenegrin "Gaming and eSports MeetUp", the first domestic game for mobile phones was launched. The **Starblind** game was created by our **3Hills gaming studio**, founded in 2021 to draw Montenegro on a map of one of the largest industries in the world.

### A cosmic saga by a Montenegrin astronaut

Starblind follows the adventures of an astronaut who, during a research expedition to another planet, encounters many challenges and obstacles. The goal of the player is to cover as much distance as possible, which is why he belongs to the "endless runner" genre of game. This is just the first in a series of games to be created within the 3Hills brand.

*Since these are pioneering steps in this area, our goal was not to immediately create a game with which we can storm the global market. We wanted to ensure we thoroughly explored the process of making the game, which is challenging and demanding. In the industry, this is done by teams that have dozens of experts in their composition. During the entire phase, our team strives to learn as much as possible, from the initial ideas to the final product. This is to ensure that we can afford to think more ambitiously and take bolder steps in the future. This is just the beginning* - **Andrija Dragojević**, project manager of **3Hills studio**.

The game is free to download on **Google Play** and **App store**. The launch was preceded by a series of activities in which the main hero, Bo the astronaut, attracted attention and interacted with the citizens of Podgorica, at various locations.

### 3Hills - a new chapter in the story of gaming in Montenegro

In addition to creating games, one of the strategic directions of 3Hills will be the development of the eSport ecosystem itself. In other words, the organization of tournaments.

*In the long run, our idea is to put Montenegro on the map of the industry, strengthen the existing gaming community and expand it. Create a platform for all gaming fans - professionals and enthusiasts. We also plan to start educating our staff and raise awareness of the values ​​and opportunities of gaming* - **Vladimir Bigović**, technical leader of 3 Hills studios.

**The value** of the gaming industry, with constant growth, is estimated at over 150 billion dollars globally.

Behind the 3Hills studio is the **company Amplitudo**, which for two years now has been **working on realizing the gaming vision in Montenegro and for Montenegro** through free game design and development courses, and the organization of events that bring together representatives from Europe and the world.

THE FIRST MONTENEGRIN MOBILE VIDEO GAME IS LAUNCHED - STARBLIND

Podgorica, 10 decembar - Godinu dana nakon prvog crnogorskog “Gaming and esports MeetUp"-a, lansirana je i prva domaća igra za mobilne telefone. **Starblind** igricu kreirao je naš **3Hills gejming studio**, osnovan tokom 2021. godine s ciljem da  Crnu Goru ucrta na mapu jedne od najvećih industrija na svijetu.

### Kosmička saga crnogorskog astronauta

Starblind je priča o astronautu koji se, tokom istraživačke ekspedicije na drugoj planeti, susrijeće sa nizom izazova i prepreka. Cilj igrača je da pređe što veću distancu, zbog čega spada u “endless runner“ tip igrica, što znači da je igračev glavni cilj da pređe što veću distancu. Ovo je tek prva u nizu igara koje će biti kreirane u okviru 3Hills brenda. 

*Budući da je riječ o pionirskim koracima u ovoj oblasti, naš cilj nije bio da odmah kreiramo igru kojom pretendujemo na svjetsko tržište. Želimo najprije adekvatno da prođemo kroz proces pravljenja igre što je izuzetno izazovno i zahtjevno. U svijetu se time bave timovi koji u svom sastavu imaju na desetine stručnjaka. Naš tim tokom prve faze saznaje i uči sve što se može naučiti na putu od ideje do lansiranja igre, kako bi kasnije mogao da razmišlja smjelije i ambicioznije. Ovo je tek početak*, kazao je **Andrija Dragojević**, projekt menadžer 3Hills studija.

Igrica se može **besplatno** preuzeti na **Google play** i **App store-u**. Samom lansiranju prethodio je niz aktivnosti u okviru kojih je astronaut - glavni Starblind junak Bo - privlačio pažnju i interagovao sa građanima na različitim lokacijama u Podgorici. 

### 3Hills - novo poglavlje priče o gejmingu u Crnoj Gori

Osim kreiranja igara, jedan od strateških usmjerenja 3Hills-a biće i razvoj samog  eSport ekosistema , odnosno organizacija turnira.

*Dugoročno, ideja nam je da ucrtamo Crnu Goru na mapu industrije, osnažimo postojeću i proširimo gejming zajednicu, napravimo platformu za sve ljubitelje gejminga - profesionalce i entuzijaste, počnemo da edukujemo sopstvene kadrove, i uopšte podignemo svijest o vrijednostima i mogućnostima koje nam gejming pruža*, dodao je **Vladimir Bigović**, tehnički vođa 3 Hills studija.

**Vrijednost** gejming industrije, uz konstantan rast, procjenjuje se na preko 150 milijardi dolara na globalnom nivou.

Iza 3Hills studija stoji **kompanija Amplitudo**, koja već dvije godine kroz besplatne gejm dizajn i development obuke i organizaciju događaja kojima okuplja predstavnike oblasti iz Evrope i svijeta, radi na **ostvarivanju gejming vizije u Crnoj Gori i za Crnu Goru**.




LANSIRANA PRVA CRNOGORSKA MOBILNA VIDEO IGRICA - STARBLIND

3Hills gaming studio is organizing its first League of **Legends Crownguard Tournament**. The tournament starts on the **25th of February** and ends on the **5th of March**. 32 teams will have the chance to battle through 3 distinct selection phases to win the grand prize of **600€**

The sign-ups are open from the **07th of February** until the **23rd of February**, and all the gamers from Montenegro can sign up their teams for the available 16 spots. Participation in the tournament **is free** and you can sign up [here](https://play.toornament.com/en_GB/tournaments/5338876646904176640/).

“I am very excited that we are starting something new here in Montenegro. After the successful launch of our first mobile game, [Starblind](https://3hills.io/starblind), we are taking another step forward and organizing our first League of Legends tournament,” says Andrija Dragojević, project manager.

**Conditions for participation in the tournament**:
1. The teams have to have 5 players
2. One reserve player
3. 4 players have to be from Montenegro, 1 player can be from the region

**The structure of the tournament is made up of 3 stages**:

**Grup stage** (**26, 27. and the 28th of February**) in which the teams will be divided into groups of 4 teams where they will play 3 matches against the other 3 teams in their group. The top two teams in every group will continue to the next stage. The matches of the group phase will not be streamed.

**Play-Off - Double Elimination stage** first part (**1st, 2nd and 3rd of March**): The teams that got first place in their groups will move directly to the upper bracket, while the teams that were placed second in the group stage will take a spot in the lower bracket and have one defeat added to their status. As the name suggests, double-elimination means that the teams in the upper brackets have to have two defeats in order to be eliminated. The teams in the lower bracket however are eliminated after only one defeat. The matches will be best of 3.

**LAN stage** (**5th of March**) is the semifinals and finals which will be played live in the University sports and cultural center (USCC) and will be streamed live on the [3Hills youtube channel](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0GiAH5lwvySgSgL5q2Q_BQ).
