This week we have a special Showmatch: SWEX vs FOG!
The players have already agreed on the date and time. The match will take place on June 18 at 18:00 MSK.
💰 The starting prize pool for the showmatch is $70.
The format is simple and exciting: 7 maps will be played, and the winner of each map receives 1/7 of the prize pool. That means every map matters, and the battle will stay interesting until the very end, even if one player takes an early lead.
Showmatch map pool:
• Aerowalk
• Battleforged
• Blood Run
• Cure
• Furious Heights
• Silence
• Sinister

Two players, two completely different playstyles. This Thursday we'll find out what comes out on top — Plasma or Shaft?
Microsoft’s head of Xbox Game Studios, Craig Duncan, and the Xbox Game Studios chief of staff, Louise O’Connor are both leaving the company. Microsoft is also reportedly planning to shut down Compulsion Games, the studio behind South of Midnight theverge.com/games/949964/xb…

NEW VIDEO
Quake is 30. And that's weird. Today I'm looking at the game, the remaster, the four expansions, and the console ports of Quake. Come sit down with me for a bit. Video link below.
Fine: Two of the studios I've been told, including getting messages from employees at the locations who are "scared", are Compulsion and Arkane.
Despite public messaging, many within the studios have expressed real worry and have overheard conversations about the future of the studios.
I've reached out to Xbox for comment, but to no avail thus far.

EGB Cup #57 Recap!
Thanks to the increased $106 prize pool, the tournament rewarded not just the top two, but the top three players this time. The competition was fierce, and once again some of the strongest names in the scene made it to the podium.
🥇 🇷🇺 AGENT takes 1st place and $50 in prize money.
AGENT continues to dominate the EGB Cup series. His main challenger in the final stages was 🇧🇾 cYpheR, but AGENT confidently overcame every obstacle and once again proved why he's considered one of the strongest players in the tournament.
🥈 🇧🇾 cYpheR finishes 2nd and earns $36.
After a long absence from EGB Cup, he returned straight to the top. The only player he couldn't overcome was AGENT, falling to him in both the Upper Bracket Final and the Grand Final.
