Masters Copenhagen, the latest major event on Valorant’s esports calendar, concluded over the weekend. And as has been the case so many times throughout the game’s short history thus far, it produced some absolutely wild results. FunPlus Phoenix (FPX), a Chinese-owned but European team, took home the crown after a five-map thriller with the Singapore-based Paper Rex (PRX). In many ways, the story behind FPX’s big win is utterly incredible. Despite being one of Valorant esports’ oldest core rosters, having been together since 2020, this was the team’s LAN debut....

Dammit. Those who’ve known me for a long time know that in real life I splice the word into conversation like some would use a comma. In my home, the word was also synonymous with Ubisoft’s Trials series, because my bellows of it could be heard echoing in every corner the moment I started playing. The newly christened Urban Trial Tricky looks to once again scratch that obscenity-inducing itch.

“Because of this all things are possible.” Apocalyptic dramas are doomed to fail if the stakes faced by the characters don’t feel authentic, and Van Helsing continues to raise the bar with its season finale in which Vanessa achieves the long awaited reunion with her daughter. Along the way she learns some hard truths about the family she didn’t know existed. And, oh yeah, Axel’s alive. Ordinarily I’m not a fan of long monologues since they often drag the story down to a place where the viewer begins losing focus, but “It Begins,” written by showrunner Neil LaBute, bravely takes that narrative device and beguiles us from the first words out of Dmitri’s mouth during his opening four and half minute discourse while Vanessa lies restrained, a metal cage around her head....
