After securing a win and several Top 5 finishes, Against All Authority won the 1st IEM Oakland Championship for a European team. Digital Chaos scored their 2nd victory, or Chicken Dinner, of the tournament, but it wasn’t enough with AAA getting the bonus points for kills on top of points for placement in each game. FaZe Clan and Noble ended up with the most kills, with 39 each, but Noble’s inconsistency ensured only a ninth-place finish with 1175 points....
Far from bringing peace to the Middle East, however, a significant escalation of demonstrations shaking Iran or any major foreign intervention could end up empowering an even greater enemy—the Islamic State militant group. The organization better known as ISIS rose up years ago from the death and destruction ravaging Iraq and Syria and the jihadis have since sought to tap into movements battling the Iranian government from within, and make good on external forces pushing the country toward implosion....
With that being said, there are several inherent controversies that would arise should Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare 2 actually come to fruition. On top of being a huge potential shift in tone and setting for the modern franchise, a certain pivotal character within the Advanced Warfare campaign would surely have to be reevaluated thanks to the involvement of one disgraced actor, Kevin Spacey. RELATED: Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare’s Enhanced Mobility Could Be What Helps Sledgehammer’s Games Stand Out...
However, despite its noble intentions, the lax implementation of safety protocols at the exhibition tournament meant that an outbreak of the dreaded virus was imminent. After the first leg in Belgrade concluded without incident, disaster struck during the second leg of the Adria Tour in Zadar. Grigor Dimitrov, Borna Coric, Viktor Troicki and Djokovic himself tested positive for COVID-19, leading to the cancellation of the tournament. Since then, a bevvy of players, tennis experts and fans have slammed Novak Djokovic for organising a tennis tournament in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic without adequate protocols in place....
Toronto reached the finals for the first time in franchise history this season and will enter Game 6 against the Warriors on Thursday at Oracle Arena with a 3-2 series lead. If the Raptors fall in Golden State, they’ll have another chance to close it out at home Sunday. Title-winning teams are typically invited to the White House. But, would the Raptors receive an invitation, even though they’re based in Canada?...
The industry is no stranger to redemption stories for online games. One of the most famous examples in recent years was the hugely ambitious No Man’s Sky, which failed to deliver on its promises at launch and faced a vitriolic response from gamers. Thanks to the dedicated support it received from Hello Games, No Man’s Sky was able to turn around its negative reception and even win the award for “Best Ongoing Game” at the 2020 Game Awards....
I was surprised by the nearly unanimous responses from these liberal, moderate and conservative alums, and I wondered why none of them thought to “look into this” themselves. I also asked myself why Jackson would get into the middle of such a debate when he is in his 60s. Was he ego-tripping, or did he anticipate that younger folks like these former students would be reluctant to get involved?...
Mourinho has faced intense scrutiny over United’s form this season, but saw his side fight back against Bournemouth in the Premier League last weekend before producing a hugely impressive turnaround against Juve on Wednesday. United were trailing to Cristiano Ronaldo’s stunning opener with four minutes remaining, only for Juan Mata’s expert free-kick and Leonardo Bonucci’s own goal to seal three points in the Champions League Group H encounter. Following the full-time whistle, Mourinho entered the Allianz Stadium pitch and cupped his ear towards the home crowd, who he claims had been taunting him due to his time in charge of rivals Inter....
“Insulation is key, both on the body, and in shelter/home,” Scott Oeth shared via email. Oeth is a lifelong outdoorsman and considered a master naturalist who owns the wilderness guide company Bull Moose Patrol. Much of his training for camping in extreme cold translates to dealing with freezing temperatures indoors. Keeping your neck and head warm is particularly important, he said, and suggested improvising a scarf or headwear with a sweater, towel, or even a pair of extra pants....
The announcement that IFA 2021 will have a full capacity crowd is a tantalizing moment for those in the tech industry, not least because COVID-19 infections are currently rising across Germany and most of the rest of the EU. IFA 2021: Full Capacity for Tech Expo? That’s the message coming from the organizers of IFA 2021. However, the announcement didn’t indicate how the organizers would enforce COVID safety measures, aside from stating that they are in constant communication with Germany’s public health authorities....
Ikea’s new Ikea’s Obegränsad collection consists of a very uncomfortable-looking armchair, a desk for musicians, and a cool, boxy-looking record player. Of these, the Obegränsad record player is the most interesting—it’s not as if anyone will be surprised that Ikea is selling another table and chair, after all. But is this a sign that vinyl’s return is now fully mainstream? Or is this another one of Ikea’s decorative accessories, not worth buying for the sound?...
This article describes where the iliacus muscle is located, what it does, and common medical conditions that can adversely affect its function, causing pain and stiffness. Iliacus Muscle Anatomy The iliacus muscle is part of a complex muscle system in the hip and pelvis. There are two iliacus muscles on each side of the pelvic bone that enable the flexion and rotation of the thigh. They are serviced by the femoral nerve, which provides movement and sensation to the lower limbs....
Pakistan on Friday named a 15-man group for the three-match series, with Imad and Hafeez - both of whom missed the Asia Cup - back in the mix. Amir has been a regular for Pakistan in all three formats but has now missed out on each squad in recent weeks. Although Sahibzada Farhan has featured in the Twenty20 series against Australia and the Black Caps, he has not earned a call-up to the 50-over side....
A Redditor went through the extensive library of past Halo games and settled on Halo: Reach, a 2010 release that served as the fifth game in the series. Although Halo Infinite modeled its season after Halo: Reach, it appears that the new game still has a ways to go when it comes to catching up to its predecessors. RELATED: Halo Infinite Multiplayer Doesn’t Show Player Their K/D The Redditor took screenshots of a character taken from the current multiplayer release of Halo Infinite–which is still in beta–and one from Halo: Reach and set them side by side for comparison....
The first Metal Gear Solid game came out in 1998, and Hideo Kojima’s creative vision amassed him, and the series, a cult following. The games are set in a much more futuristic version of the real world, with several characters using extensive cybernetic modifications, and the gameplay has a heavy focus on stealth and shooting. Additionally Metal Gear Solid has featured variety of ruthless main characters over the years, which makes sense given the series’ military and espionage themes....
We need to call this what it is: Immigrant First Human Resources. And it’s a disgrace. Immigrant First HR practices lack patriotism, whether they are implemented in Black-led northern sanctuary cities or white-run rural America. Yet this is not the first time Mississippi’s agriculture businesses have found themselves on the wrong side of the equation about immigration and anti-Black American racism, even in these modern times. Recall that during a 2019 immigration enforcement raid, President Trump’s administration discovered over 700 jobs where Black Mississippians had been replaced by illegal aliens in seven of Mississippi’s poultry plants....
