Esports Insider: SoaR Dazs, General Manager Of SoaR Gaming

Earlier the sister-skin to Attention To Detail, titled Precision Caliber was discussed, and it featured a design that was much more flashy. For Attention To Detail, it's a skin for the Wingman that focuses on looking a bit more practical, but still being flashy enough to be coveted by players. It's a reward players receive for reaching the maximum level of the Season 5 battle pass which is neat. The only bummer is that the Wingman currently isn't a top tier weapon in the ongoing meta of the g

Apex Legends has a whopping 46 servers scattered in 18 places around the world. When broken down by location, North America has 17, South America has five, Western Europe has seven, East Asia has nine, South East Asia has three, Asia Pacific has five, and Africa has a big fat zero. This is how EA is working to fight injustice and discriminat

In the past few weeks, I've twice watched someone back out of a game because I chose the character they wanted to play. Both times, it was because my game defaulted to the character because I didn't make a selection. In one instance, I even apologized after noticing the other player had wanted to be the character I had chosen, but the player backed out anyway. It's important to note that in Apex Legends , selection order is randomized. In both cases, my name popped up first on the selection menu, meaning I had every right to choose whichever character I wanted to play. Regardless, backing out for something so mundane is problematic because my team is forced to play the game as a squad of two up against squads of three, which makes the game much more diffic

Quite frankly, I think it's disgusting that these publishers have the nerve to put Black Lives Matter banners on their games when most black people aren't allowed to play them without issues. To me, it's the modern-day equivalent of a "No Africans Allowed" sign. African gamers aren't asking for special treatment, We just want to be treated the same as everybody e

girl-train-station-calling-asleep-train-peron-dress-polka-dots-red-thumbnail.jpgIt seems players rarely take the time to appreciate video game developers. Twitter feeds and game forums are frequently filled with game criticism. Even in normal circumstances, gamers fail to openly appreciate the efforts of those who work so hard. We may not know these workers by name, but they're working diligently to create brilliant stories, designs and technology that allow us to enjoy this form of immers

It’s easy to forget that the people making and supporting your favorite summer games are going through abrupt changes in their own lives, yet they continue to deliver new content to keep players enga

As a non-pro player, I’ll always make mistakes. I’ll try to revive a teammate when I should be fighting, and I’ll miss shots that I know aren’t difficult for good players. But I’ve put around 1500 hours into Apex Legends , and yet I can’t recall a time I’ve ever become vocally frustrated with a teammate without obvious provocation. Those I play with will also sometimes run out ahead just to get downed or will push fights they have no chance of winning, but I trust they are doing their best and aim to support them as teammates no matter their choi

He points out that big organizations such as 100 Thieves and FaZe haven’t invested in the game’s competitive scene. And, perhaps in part due to his role with SoaR, he can look at it realistically from a business perspect

Thanks so much for continuing to work as hard as you can to roll out updates, fixes and changes while grappling with the challenges of COVID-19, including those that may be impacting your own mental hea

Big names in gaming like Apex Legends , FIFA , Fortnite , League of Legends , Valorant , Rainbow Six Siege , and more have a worldwide following with servers everywhere except Africa. As an African gamer, I find it insulting and ubisoft Project Scout hypocritical that these companies force us to read Black Lives Matter messages every time we start a game, yet most black people aren't allowed to get the best experience from

Let's take Apex Legends as an example. EA released a statement saying, " We’re contributing $1 million to organizations dedicated to the fight for racial justice in the U.S. and against discrimination around the world." They go on to say, "Beginning with the Equal Justice Initiative, the NAACP Legal Defense & Educational Fund, and with more partners to come, we are deepening our support of organizations working to stop systemic racial injustice, fight discrimination and protect human rights in the U.S. and beyo

Recently, I was matched with someone whose name was a play on the coronavirus. Perhaps merely evidence of a juvenile sense of humor, it hits different when 23,000 people in your city have died of the vi
