VALVE TO REPLACE DIRECT INVITATIONS WITH RANKING SYSTEM FOR FALL MAJOR


In an email sent to the main tournament organisers, Valve has expressed its plans to replace the current Major invitation format with a ranking system, which will utilize two extra tournaments leading up to the Fall Major. The system explained by Valve in the email revolves around a combination of points earned from the spring Major — ESL One Rio, taking place in May — and from two other events leading up to the second Major of the year (November 2-15). The three events will...

Winning or losing a ranked match in Dota 2 will now make you gain or lose the same amount of MMR.


Valve has released a small update to Dota 2 that aims to improve the game’s matchmaking experience by removing the variance in Matchmaking Rating (MMR) gained or lost for wins and losses in ranked matches. Since the introduction of ranked matchmaking in Dota 2 back in December 2013, there has been a hidden MMR variance mechanic in place for players with high MMR that only gave marginal gains for wins but huge reductions for losses. For example, a player at around the 6,000 MMR range...

NBA trade grades: Hawks send Allen Crabbe to Timberwolves for Jeff Teague and Treveon Graham, per report


Trades have been sparse in the NBA lately. Since July's blockbuster swap of Chris Paul and Russell Westbrook, there has been only one deal: the Utah Jazz acquiring Jordan Clarkson for Dante Exum. But with the trade deadline now only three weeks away, things may soon be heating up around the league. On Thursday, the Atlanta Hawks and Minnesota Timberwolves have just made the season's second trade. The Hawks have traded sharpshooter Allen Crabbe to the Timberwolves in exchange for Jeff Teague and Treveon Graham, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. The move reunites the Hawks with Teague, their former All-Star point guard...

Can LeBron James Beat Kareem’s All-Time Scoring Record?


LeBron James just reached 9,000 assists in the NBA like he’s a point guard or something. Just a few of the names he passed: Gary Payton, Andre Miller, Rod Strickland. These are pass-first point guards. And he will definitely pass Isiah Thomas, Chris Paul and Oscar Robertson in the future if he stays healthy. But the most curious thing is that can he pass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and become the league’s best scorer? He’s so close to achieving that if he plays 2-3 years more. 1...

Scottie Pippen: “Bulls Front office kept Michael Jordan & Myself from winning more titles”


June 14, 1998 was the last time Michael Jordan made a field goal for the Bulls. And it was the famous “Last Shot” in game 6 of the 1998 NBA Finals against the Utah Jazz. By his own will, Jordan literally stopped playing basketball at top of his game. Because he wanted no part of a rebuilding process in absence of Phil Jackson and Scottie Pippen who both had their contract expired that summer. “Who knows what will unfold in the next several months. But...

Andre Drummond trade rumors: Hawks no longer engaged with Pistons in talks for former All-Star, per report


Andre Drummond has been linked to the Atlanta Hawks for weeks. The Detroit Pistons center, who has a player option for next season, would have theoretically filled Atlanta's hole at center and provided meaningful defense, rebounding and pick-and-roll finishing alongside Trae Young. Unfortunately, for the moment, it appears as if a trade isn't coming as the Hawks are no longer engaged with the Pistons in talks for Drummond, according to Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports. Such a deal would have been built around Damian Jones, the expiring contract of either Chandler Parsons or Allen Crabbe (who has...
