Right on the verge of the new year, Microsoft dropped Windows 11 Version 24H2, which focused on a handful of delta changes that did not seem to have caused any significant problems anywhere except for Assassins Creed Origins lagging, and crashing after being rendered unplayable.

The latest Windows 11 update seems to have completely broken the game to the point players have started taking the game’s reviews on Steam. From being one of the highest-rated games in the franchise, AC Origins now ranks below some of their less popular titles.

The developers have responded to the reviews and confirmed that the issue has been noted by them and they are currently working closely with Microsoft to quickly resolve the issue. However, a timeline for when players can expect a fix is not disclosed.

Now that the developers have confirmed that a fix is on the way, a new Windows update or a game update can be expected in the coming weeks. While AC Origins is quite a dated game, seeing so many active players speaks volumes of its impact on the gaming community.

Stable Ronaldo, a member of FaZe Clan, did not hold back when addressing xQc’s negative comments, in which the latter described the logo as “corny.” Ronaldo dismissed xQc’s remarks and went on to claim that he was richer and more famous than xQc:

FaZe Clan’s Transition and Success Amidst Changes

FaZe Clan underwent major restructuring in 2024 under new leadership, with FaZe Banks taking charge. This transition included layoffs of several streamers and creators, with veterans like FaZe Rain also parting ways. Despite these changes, FaZe Clan thrived, securing the Best Content Organization award at the 2024 Streamer Awards in December. Stable Ronaldo even attended the event as a red carpet host.

Stable Ronaldo Accuses xQc of Being Negative

Ronaldo did not stop at defending FaZe Clan’s logo. He criticized xQc’s general attitude towards fellow streamers, calling him a “hater” and urging him to be more positive:

The exchange stemmed from xQc’s comparison of FaZe Clan’s logo to a corny wrench from the Ratchet & Clank video game series, a remark that triggered Ronaldo’s heated response.

This fiery exchange highlights the tensions in the streaming community as popular influencers publicly clash over creative opinions. While FaZe Clan continues to grow its presence in content creation, debates around its branding choices reflect broader conversations about change and identity in esports.

The word “CUATRO” translates to “four” in Spanish, and it is also the name of a traditional Latin American instrument. This has led to widespread theories about the new agent’s potential Latin American or Colombian origins.

Hints About the New Valorant Agent

Speculations about the agent began in December 2024, when popular leaker @ValorLeaks shared a short clip of the character sipping coffee before jumping out of an airplane. The leaker hinted that the agent might be Colombian and is expected to take on the role of an Initiator.

The recent “CUATRO” teaser deepens the mystery. It features a quick clip of Chamber running alongside another blurred character through a narrow hallway. Sharp-eyed viewers also noticed the presence of yellow and gray insects, which added to the intrigue.

Theories Surrounding the Teaser

The teaser’s cryptic nature has sparked various interpretations. One theory suggests that “CUATRO” may represent a countdown, hinting at a reveal in four days, potentially on January 4, 2025. Others believe it could signify the fourth installment in a series of teasers or refer to the agent’s abilities.

Another theory speculates that the teaser might not be for a new agent at all but could hint at a new map instead. However, Riot Games has not released any official statements, leaving fans eagerly waiting for more clues.

Community Hype and Reactions

Valorant’s teaser strategy has successfully created buzz within the gaming community. Fans are excited about the possibility of a new agent, especially one with Latin American roots. The combination of visual hints and minimal details has left players analyzing every frame of the teaser.

While some players believe this marks the arrival of a groundbreaking agent, others continue to discuss whether the teaser could point to a map update or gameplay changes.

What’s Next?

With Riot Games maintaining secrecy, fans will have to wait for an official confirmation. Whether the agent is revealed on January 4, 2025, or later, one thing is certain—the teaser has set the stage for another thrilling addition to Valorant’s lineup.

Stay tuned for more updates as Riot Games prepares to unveil what’s next for Valorant!

Eternal Fire managed to turn a few heads mid-session with a stellar run in a few tournaments leading up to the CS2 Major. However, a disappointing result at the big event forced them to make a few changes, and longstanding member Calyx was the one to part ways.

“Calyx holds a special place in all our hearts,” read EF’s post on X. “Together with him, we achieved great victories on the global stage and created unforgettable moments.”

Eternal Fire has the following team:

• Engin “⁠MAJ3R⁠” Küpeli
• Ismailcan “⁠XANTARES⁠” Dörtkardeş
• Özgür “⁠woxic⁠” Eker
• Ali “⁠Wicadia⁠” Haydar Yalçın
• Samet “⁠jottAAA⁠” Köklü
• Sezgin “⁠Fabre⁠” Kalaycı (coach)

JottAAA hailed from Eternal Fire’s academy roster and was eventually loaned out to Sangal, where he flourished in his role, finally seeing him get his much-deserved spot in Eternal Fire. While his role is not exactly a like-for-like replacement for the outgoing Calyx, being a versatile young player, he can be molded to fit the team’s needs.

Blast Bounty being the upcoming event, we might see the new roster in action right in as soon as 12 days.

As NiKo’s move to Falcons itches closer, G2 has started preparing to move on from him. Technically, Niko’s place will be taken up by Mario “⁠malbsMd⁠” Samayoa who already enjoyed a successful year with the organisation while HeavyGod will be the fifth man on the rifle.

Despite Cloud9 falling behind in tier-1 tournaments, HeavyGod managed to deliver for the team, averaging an impressive 1.16 rating over 73 maps played. Despite it being his first season in tier 1, he managed to deliver solid performances against top opposition.

The void left by NiKo might be too much for anyone to fill unless G2 manages to find proper roles for all their players. NiKo ended their trophy drought and went on to secure prestigious tournaments like IEM Cologne and IEM Katowice for G2 but his time with the roster will come to an end if his move to Falcons goes through.

Besides NiKo, G2 is likely to retain their superstar AWPer m0NESY, who will be surrounded by young guns like malbsMd and HeavyGod with experienced veterans like Snax and huNter rounding off the roster.

G2’s roster for 2025 could look as follows:

• Nemanja “⁠huNter-⁠” Kovač
• Ilya “⁠m0NESY⁠” Osipov
• Mario “⁠malbsMd⁠” Samayoa
• Janusz “⁠Snax⁠” Pogorzelski
• Nikita “⁠HeavyGod⁠” Martynenko
• Poland Wiktor “⁠TaZ⁠” Wojtas (coach)

Valve has managed to build an empire with only 336 employees, which has given them a significant edge in limiting operations costs while maximizing profit. While streamlining their operations, Valve has managed to beat some of the major tech companies in the field above.

It is abundantly clear that the low number of employees plays the most important role in achieving this feat given the other names in the list have several-fold more employees than the Game Distribution Platform.

This information has come to light after Valve was involved in a legal battle with Wolfire Games and the documents involved in the said lawsuit have caused this information to surface which would otherwise remain unknown given Valve is a privately operated organization.

Nonetheless, Valve is arguably the oldest player in the industry and holds its crown with growing competition from the likes of Epic Games, Electronic Arts, and many more, all with 336 employees.
