SEA Championship Finals: Wild Rift teams out to SLAY

North American esports giants, TSM, is in dire financial shape and could end up halting operations in multiple esports titles.

The esports betting industry has seen significant growth in Southeast Asia in 2022, driven by major competitions and lucrative prize pools.

If the constant blasting of Chinese New Year (CNY) music in public spaces hasn’t told you already, the Year of the Tiger is here! Sorry gamers, time to log off and visit relatives (or not, COVID-19’s STILL a thing.) Here are some CNY gaming memes to laugh at when you need an escape from all your relatives’ incessant questioning. Gong Xi Fa Cai!

After the inaugural Horizon Cup just a couple of months back, Wild Rift kicks off 2022 with the commitment to do more for the esports scene. With Elemental Dragons and a slew of Champions joining the fray, Wild Rift’s esports scene is about to experience some Avatar-level shifts in the meta.

It’s only midway through January and Riot is already treating us well with the release of two new characters: Neon from Valorant and Zeri from League of Legends (LOL). Even better, Neon is canonically Filipino, a huge win for Southeast Asian gamers! But we, like the rest of the internet, are seeing double – Neon and Zeri are practically the same person. Case in point: They are voiced by the same Filipino voice actress, have very similar abilities and look basically identical. We can’t help but think that Riot is trying to hint at something…a Riot multiverse, perhaps? It won’t be too far-fetched, since crossovers between both games have happened and Valorant’s storyline literally revolves around a second Earth from another universe. Alright, that’s enough speculation. This Meme Monday, we bring you PROOF of the Riot-Verse. Well, kinda.

The term ‘multiverse’ has been thrown left and right a lot lately. It’s been the talk of the town. While most have heard about this from the ever-growing Marvel franchise, gamers have noticed a similar happening in the esports scene.
