North Sydney Sentinels take the crown at World of Tanks ANZ Premier League Season Four Finals

July 6th, 2022 — The North Sydney Sentinels are Australasia’s crowning World of Tanks champions after defeating the South Sydney Skorpions at the World of Tanks ANZ Premier League Season Four Finals at Fortress in Melbourne.

Competing in front of a crowd of over 100 people and with 4,000 viewers tuning in live via the online broadcast in two languages, the North Sydney Sentinels dominated the finals which culminated in a 4-1 indisputable win.

The Season Four winners were awarded with $10,000 in prize money and premium swag from Noble Chairs, PC Case Gear, and HyperX. Second place winners, the South Sydney Skorpions, received $5,000 in prize money and HyperX gear.

Kevin Zhu, World of Tanks ANZ Community Evangelist, says the two Sydney teams have had fierce head-to-head clashes before, and it was no surprise that the series final was going to be a nail-biter.

“The Sentinels pulled out a crucial 2-0 lead at the beginning of the match, but the tenacity from the Skorpions meant the Sentinels had to fight for every single tank and victory. Ultimately, the Sentinels just proved how much of a powerhouse they were, with a 4-1 victory over the Skorpions, and a third trophy in the four seasons of ANZPL!”

“To add to the celebrations, I’m proud to confirm that ticket sales from the finals have contributed towards a total fundraising donation of $8,854.99 for GameOnCancer. Thanks to everyone who has donated to this worthy cause,” said Kevin.

The World of Tanks ANZ Premier League (ANZPL) is a 5v5 competitive World of Tanks mode, featuring state-based teams, a double round robin group stage, a grassroots league in the ANZBL, and an offline LAN final to determine the best team across Australia and New Zealand.

Season Five will commence on August 26th  2022, with the finals culminating on November 26th  2022.

Michael Jordan unveiled as NBA 2K23 Cover Athlete

The Year of Greatness: Michael Jordan Unveiled as NBA® 2K23 Cover Athlete Across Two Special Editions of This Year’s Game

Player who needs no introduction – Michael Jordan – returns to grace the cover of the NBA 2K23 Michael Jordan Edition and the limited NBA 2K23 Championship Edition

2K today announced that 14-time NBA All-Star, five-time Kia NBA Most Valuable Player, six-time NBA World Champion and Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Famer, Michael Jordan, will appear on both covers of the NBA® 2K23 Michael Jordan Edition and the ultra-premium NBA® 2K23 Championship Edition.

Jordan’s career transformed the NBA into a global phenomenon, making him a household name and leaving an undeniable impact on the basketball world. For the 24th year of NBA 2K, Jordan is the perfect embodiment of this year’s campaign theme: Answer the Call. As an athlete who always rose to the occasion, Jordan returns to star on two NBA 2K23 covers, giving an opportunity for old and new fans alike to celebrate a talent who left the world in awe throughout his career.

“After making 23 the most recognizable number in sports, it was only fitting that for NBA 2K23 we introduce the Michael Jordan Edition,” said Alfie Brody, Vice President of Global Marketing Strategy for NBA 2K. “Additionally, we’re thrilled to introduce a brand new premium edition of the game with the NBA 2K23 Championship Edition, as no other player embodies the word ‘champion’ like Jordan. This limited-edition version will also offer players the opportunity to catch on-court action throughout the season with a 12-month subscription to NBA League Pass* included. We look forward to celebrating this game with the community when it’s released on September 9.”

Along with Michael Jordan returning to grace the covers of NBA 2K23 this year, the game will also reintroduce The Jordan Challenge, which encourages players to recreate 15 iconic moments from Jordan’s illustrious career. All ten of the original Challenges from NBA 2K11 have been completely rebuilt from the ground up and will make their return this year – alongside five new iconic Jordan moments – for an entire new generation of players to experience. These Challenges take advantage of more than a decade of technological leaps to provide a completely new way to play through Jordan’s accomplishments – all housed within its own game mode.

The Jordan Challenge also elevates an array of spellbinding performances across Jordan’s college, NBA, and Team USA Basketball careers that players can experience across all 15 Challenges and includes unique video vignettes that come with special commentary from an array of NBA luminaries: Jordan’s teammates, opponents, and other sports personalities, who saw him do it live and can bring to life his legacy to a younger generation of NBA fans. More details on The Jordan Challenge in NBA 2K23 will be released later this winter.

Michael Jordan is one of the most decorated athletes in the NBA and NBA 2K history, and the NBA 2K23 Michael Jordan Edition and NBA 2K23 Championship Edition collectively mark his fourth time headlining an NBA 2K cover. He was previously on the cover for NBA 2K11, NBA 2K12, and the NBA 2K16 Special Edition. Stay tuned for more cover athlete reveals, along with the release date and pricing when pre-orders go live on July 7.

Follow NBA 2K on TikTok, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, and Facebook for the latest NBA 2K23 news.

Visual Concepts is a 2K studio. 2K is a wholly owned publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO).

*Offer only available with purchases of the NBA 2K23 Championship Edition. Championship Edition (Digital) only available for pre-order. The Championship Edition (Physical) will be available in select regions and select retailers while stocks last. Pre-order to guarantee a copy. Not available on Nintendo Switch.

Cleanse the “Night Stalkers Hideout” in Fiesta Online

Once again, corruption takes its toll and players must free a new dungeon in Fiesta OnlineOnce again, corruption takes its toll and players must free a new dungeon in Fiesta Online

 Hamburg, July 05, 2022 – gamigo is happy to announce that the latest patch for its anime MMO Fiesta Online is available today. This update for the game will offer a new dungeon to free from Corruption for players lvl 135 to 140 and several new quests to complete with new monsters and new items.

In the beginning, players are sought after and informed of troublesome developments in the Celestial Gardens. The ogre Kalzar has disappeared and for some time now, Kathleen wanted to learn about his whereabouts. She asks the players to support her in her search and to embark on a journey to find him. The trail leads them to the Celestial Mine where the Night Stalkers reside. Their leaders — the twins Elder and Emmit — devised a plan to gain more power and to pillage the resources of the mine to obtain riches. They had infected Kalzar with Corruption in order to make him the protector of their treasures. It will be the players’ task to clear the dungeon and free him.

If players are successful in their quest, precious accessories that hold mysterious powers wait for them. And if players are more into outer appearances, they can get a new outfit, three new pets and can select between different weapon and shield skins.
